REILLY'S story was a strange one. Although he had suffered imprisonment as a rogue-no burglarious instruments being found upon him-I could do nothing else than congratulate him upon his firm determination not to expose his hand. But the incident was no good augury for the future.
We were, of course, in possession of a fact that might prove of greatest use to us. He had seen the murdered man with his own eyes, although the identity of the victim was at present a mystery. Miss Bristowe knew him, too, and from her I hoped one day to obtain information as to who he really was.
