vidual, this Henry Graham, who wa.« last

ago," »oliloqulwd M. <'assagne, as he
stepped from his compartment on to the
platform of the little railway stntion and
saw frowning from alxive him the ancient
ensile of Bloia. All the way down In the
train he had been busily occupied in plan­
ning how he would find the human needle,
Henry Graham, in the bundle of hay,

With nothing to guide him hut his own
marvelous powers of reasoning, he now
atnrted forth u|x»n a search which ninety-
nine men out of n hundred would have
considered worse than uaeleNs, For it
wuh quite within the bounds of possibility
that the man he was looking for had lived
in Bloia under another name than that of
Henry Graham.
