Leland's case at all desperate, if that's any comfort to anybody, There the doctor smiled. 'You are Mr. Barndale, I presume. Miss Leland has evidence of the name and even the whereabouts of the scoundrel who inflicted the wound, and we are here to hunt him up. 'May I ask who's the suspected party? asked Inspector Webb with his eye on the doctor. 'Demetri Agryopoulo, said Lilian, 'a Greek
"There's a woman in that cottage," said I. "Not a peasant a woman in some dark-colored dress, who uses opera glasses." I saw her draw back with a start of surprise. "It's false," she cried. "There's no one there. Constantine told me no one went there except Vlacho, and sometimes Demetri." "Do you believe all Constantine tells you?" I asked. "Why should I not? He's my cousin and "
Scott, Lashly, Day and Demetri took the first sledge; Bowers, Nelson, Crean and Hooper the second; and after a rather adventurous journey, in which 'Lashly was splendid at camp work as of old, they reached Hut Point at 1 P.M. on the following day, and found everyone well and in good spirits.

'Are you mad? he asked. 'What murder? Where? When? 'My brother's murder, here, last night, panted Lilian, and flung herself, a mouse against a mountain, on the Greek, and grappled with him, and actually bore him to the ground.
