"One or two things I wanted to see to, and some things I wanted to get. This is one of 'em." "Family Bible?" inquired Fullaway, eyeing the solemnly bound album. "No. Photos," answered Allerdyke. He was going to test things at once, and he opened the book at the fateful page. "I'm a bit of an amateur photographer," he went on, with a laugh.
"You mean," he added, "that they have no more news of him since last November?" "There is no news since then. The French Consul at Serajevo, Bosnia, has sent me this information: "'Last November your son arrived at Serajevo practising the trade of a strolling photographer...."
