Mr. Chilten collapsed on to the nearest chair. Through the hazy mist and the doubts that enveloped his brain certain figures were forming.

At the same time he had not thought of it, and he had been quite oblivious to the coincidence in the Christian names of his wife and the alleged wife of the swindler. "Show axe the letter," he murmur- ed, feebly, and when it was placed in his hands he read it a dozen times, "I have discovered a new swindle," he said, but there was no satisfaction in his tone, and there was even less when all the attempts to trace the bank notes back to "Captain Cairns" failed because that ingenious rascal , had changed them within a few hours of their receipt.
