I was certain that wherever or how
ever M r. Mazaroff had coma by bis
un-English name, be himself was a
Scotsman: there was no mistaking
his accent.
“I hope you’re feeling quite well
again a fte r your wounds?" he asked.
“Q uite fit, thank you,“ I answered.
“F it fo r light work, anyway."
“Aye, well,“ be said, nodding, "as
1 said In my letter, I think you and
I ’ll get on very pleasantly. I f you care
to come w ith an old fellow like ma.“
“I shall be pleased to go w ith you,"
I answered. “1 hope I shall be able
to do all you want.
You think I
shall?“
“It's tittle I want but company," ha
replied.

formed the basis of what came to be
famous In three continents as the
M azaroff affair. H a rk e r and I were
old schoolfellows; we entered the

H a rk e r walked
Into my rooms one morning while I
was still at breakfast, and flung down
a copy o f the Times, Indicating a blue-
penciled advertisement in the "Per
sonal" column.
“T h a t’s your Job, Mervyn," he said
In his usual direct fashion. “Get
busy I”
I took up the paper and read the
advertisement before making any re
m ark.
“T h e advertiser, who has recently
returned to England a fte r a prolonged
absence, and Is desirous of making
an extensive tour through the north

an ex-officer, Invalided out o f the

I think It was more out o f curi
osity than anything that I replied to
th a t advertisement, setting forth my
qualifications and detailing my refer
ences. Yet I never expected any re
p ly ; 1 knew well enough that there
w ere hundreds of men whose qualifi
cations and references would be Just
as food as my own—why should I be
singled out? It was therefore w ith
a good deal o f surprise that, about a
fortnight later, 1 received and read
th e following le tte r:
“Hotel C edi,

the door opened again, and be stood

“1 think 1 ought to leave that to

M r. M azaroff and 1 spent a couple
of hours over that lunch and our
cigars and coffee.
H e proved him
self a knowing and generous host, and
a great talker. His talk was worth
listening to.
I soon discovered that
he had seen many strange placea and
peoples; without giving me any def
inite Inform ation about Mm self or Ms
pursuits, ho let me know that ho had
traveled extensively In various out-
of-the-way parts of Asia and Africa.
Presently I le ft Mm and went sway
to make ready fo r onr Journey: at
five o'clock I was back a t the hotel
w ith my luggage, and by a quarter
past we were off.

A t the end o f a
month he and I were inseparables.
W e had then run Into the crisp Oc
tober w eather o f the north, and were
on the southern edge o f Northumber
land.
There, a fte r consulting his
map, he gave Ms chauffeur orders to
cut across country, north by west,
making by way o f Hexham and W ark
fo r the wild lands beyond, and for a
particular place marked on the chart
aa the Woodcock Inn on Marrasdale
moor.
When, rounding a heather-dad bluff
that sloped sharply down to our track,
we came In sight of the Woodcock
Inn, I was amazed to think that a
hostelry should bo found In such a
desert I t stood, a gaunt gray mass
of stODe, on tbe edge o f a great
moor ringed about by high hills— as
veritable a solitude as one could set
eyes on. Beyond It there was not a
sign of human life or baMtatlon.

“I know this country," Marazoff
said. “Used to come here when I was

you’ll observe that there's valleys cut

too, and more than one slaable coun

1 mind them all wall

than I care to estimate since I set

"There’ll be people you remember,”
I suggested, “and who’ll remember

"Not a fte r all these years I” ha an
swered quickly.
“ And between you
and me and ths post. Holt, I ’ve no
arlsh to remember people, nor— more
particularly— to bo remembered by
anybody. I don't want It to ba known
that I ’m other than a complete stran
ger to the place.”
I was wondering why bo should be
so mysterious about this, when we
drew up at tbe door of tbe Inn.

the wide, open door, undecorated save
for a faded painting o f a woodcock

woman, a aliarp-featored, alert, quick

the man and gained the side of our
car first.
I t was she who did the
talking,
“Good day, ma’am," said M r. Maza

“ You’ll be the landlady, no

“This’ll do
