On the very next day there was another tragedy which seemed to me even more terrible. I mean the murder of that young fellow Vanderpole, of the American Embassy. Mr. Inspector Jacks, has it ever occurred to you, I wonder, that it might be as well to let the solution of one await the solution of the other?" Inspector Jacks shrugged his shoulders.
After we got hold of a small deer rifle we used to practise at the snakes in the mere aiming at the head, which is about the size of a nut, and shows above the surface wobbling as they move. I recollect cutting a snake's head clean off with a ball from a pistol as he hastened away through the grass. In winter, when the jacks came up and lay immediately under the ice, they could be easily shot.
Trusses of straw had been thrown down along the walls, and reclining on them were some twenty or thirty archers, all of the Company, their steel caps and jacks thrown off, their tunics open and their great limbs sprawling upon the clay floor.
The conversation was ceasing to interest me, so I went on deck, when the middy came up to me directly from where he was standing listening to the firing. I looked at him with the eyes of admiration, for his uniform, dirk, and pistols gave him a warlike aspect, and besides he was in temporary command of the sturdy Jacks who were overawing the smuggler's men.

The Prince turned towards Buckingham Palace, and the Inspector slowly retraced his steps. "It is a bribe!" he muttered to himself slowly, "a cleverly offered bribe!
About Christmas, I think. Arnold is looking for a house. By the bye, you know young Derwent Eustace?" Piers answered that he had only the slightest acquaintance with the young man. "Not brilliant, I think," said Mr. Jacks musingly. "But amiable, straight. I don't know that he'll do much at the Bar." Again he lost himself for a little, his knitted brows seeming to indicate an anxious thought.
I see that you look amazed, Mr. Inspector Jacks. This thing which I have told you seems strange, no doubt, but you must not confuse the servants of my country with the servants of yours. I make no comment upon the latter. You know quite well what they are; so do I. With us, service is a religion, service to country and service to master.
Here are some brave large tench, which never move till the water is disturbed; we shall have a good chance for them as well as for the jacks. Now, steady there, you in the boat Throw her in, boys, and mind you don't draw too fast!" So to work they all went again.
If we give to the monistic subspecies the name of philosophy of the absolute, we may give that of radical empiricism to its pluralistic rival, and it may be well to distinguish them occasionally later by these names. As a convenient way of entering into the study of their differences, I may refer to a recent article by Professor Jacks of Manchester College.
