To say that Herbert Darlene passed a
good night would have bean to have
stretched veracity to breaking point.
I It was cold in that small bedroom in
I the village hotel, and the discordant
clanging of the cracked bell of the
cllnrcli clock from quarter to quarter
and from hour to hour irritated him in
his restlessness. His mind was tar t,:u
active to allow his eyes to be wooed l ;ti•
siiilnber, and throrgh the long watches
of the bitter winter's night the few
threads of infol talon th:lt 111.4 b' t
gathered tangled d bltellasolves into twists
and knots in his {train. art1 the very
fact that prima 1'itt'ie the solution of
th'• mystery seemed to 1•e sostilll,let,2.ty

It is the second time that Dobson has
