I have already said In. more than one
place that Hewitt's personal relations
with the members of the .London police
force were of a cordial character. In
the course of his work It has frequent
ly been Hewitt's hap to learn of mat
ters on which the police were glad af
information, and that information was
always passed on at once; and so long
as no Infringement of regulations or
damage to public service was involved
Hewitt could always rely on a return
In kind.
It was with a message of a useful
sort that Hewitt one day dropped into
.Vine Street Police station and asked
The Man Looked I'p with a Dull Ex
pression. for a particular Inspector, who was not
in. Howltt sat and wrote a note, and
by way of making conversation said to
the inspector on duty: "Anything very
s. startling this way today?"
,', ."Nothing jirery startling, perhaps, as
yet," the inspector replied, "but one of
our chaps picked up rather an odd
customer a little while ago. Lunatic
of some sort, I should think In fact,
I've sent for the doctor to see him.
He's a foreigner a Frenchman, I be
lieve. He seemed horribly weak and
,falnt, but the oddest thing occurred
when one of the men, thinking he
might be hungry, brought In some
bread. He went into fits of terror at
the sight of It, and wouldn't be pact
fled till they took it away again."
: . "That was strange."
"Odd, wasn't. it? And he was hun
gry, too. They brought him some 41
little while after, and he didn't funk it
a bit Pitched Into It, in fact, like any-
hlnc and ate It all with tome' cold
beef. It's the way with some lunatics
never the same five minutes together.
He keeps crying like a baby, and say
ing things we can't understand; as It
happens, there's nobody In Just now
who speaks French."
"I speak French," Hewitt replied;
"shall I try him?"
"Certainly, If you will. He's In the
men's room bekiw. They've been mak
ing him as comfortable as possible by
the Are until the doctor comes. He's
a long time; I expect he's got a case
on."
Hewitt found hlir way 'to the large
mess room, where three or four police
men. In. their shirt sleeves, were cu
riously rgArdlng a young man of very
disordered appearance, wha sat on a
chair by the fire. He was pale, and ex
hibited marks of bruise's on his face,
while over one eye was a scarcely
healed cut. His figure was small and
slight, his coat was torn, and he sat
with a certain Indefinite air of shiver
ing suft'erlnK. He starred and looked
round apprehensively as Hewitt en
tered. Hewitt tawed emlllngly, wished
him good day, eptakln? In French, and
asked If .'he spoke the language.
The man looked up with a dull ex
prssslnn, and, after an effort or two, as
one who stutters, burst out with "Je
la nle!"
."That's strange,'.' Howltt observed to
the men. "I ask him if he speaks

French, and he says he denies It
speaking In French."
"He's been saying that very often,
sir," one of the men answered, "aa
well as other things we can't make
anything of."
Hewitt placed his hand kindly on the
man's shoulder, and asked his name.
The leply was for a little while an in
articulate gurgle, presently merging
into a meaningless medley of words
and syllables; "Qu'est ce qu-ll na'a,
Leystar Squar fiacre nom not spik It
quel chsmln sank you ver" mosh
je la nle, Je la nle!"
He paused, stared, and then, as
though realizing his helplessness, he
burst into tears.
"He's been a-cryl!' two or three
times,' 'said 'the man who had spoken
before., "He was a-cryln' when we
found him."
Several more attempts Hewitt made
to communicate with the man, bU't

was meant, he replied with nothing bU't

meaningless (fibber, and Anally gave
up the attempt, and, leaning against
tha side of (the fireplace, burled his
head In tho bend of his arm.
Then the doctor arrived and made his
examination. While It was in progress
Hewitt took aside the policeman who
had been speaking before and ques
tioned him futlther. He had himself
found the Frenchman in a dull back
street by Golden. Square, where the
man was standing helpless and trem
bling, apparently quite bewildered and
very weak. He had brought him In,
without having been able to learn any
thing -about him. One or two shop
keepers In the street where he was
found were asked, but knew nothing of
him Indeed, had never seen him be
fore. "But the curlousest thing," the
policeman proceeded,; "was In this 'ere
room when I brought in a loaf to give
him a but of a Barack, seein' he looked so
weak an' hungry. You'd 'a thought we
was a-goln' to poison Mm. He fairly
screamed- at the very sight o' the
bread, an' he ecrouged hlsself up In
that corner an' put his hands In front
of his face. I couldn't make out what
was up at first didn't tumble to lit's
beln the bread lie was frightened of,
seeln' as he looked like' .a man as ud
be frightened ait anything else,i afore
that. But the nearer I came with It
the more he yelled, so I took .It away
an' left It outside, an' then he calmed
down. An' s'elp me, when I out some
bits off that .there- very loaf and
brought 'em in with a bit o' beef, he
Just went for 'em like 1 o'clock. He
wasn't frightened o' no bread then,
you bet. Rum thing how the fancies
takes 'em when they're a bit touched,
ain't it? All one way one minute; all
the other the next."
"Yes, It Is. Hy the way, have you
another loaf in the place?"
"Yes, sir; half a dozen If you like."
"One will be enough. I am going
over to speak to the doctor. Walt
awhile, until he seems very quiet and
fairly comfortable. Then bring a loaf
In quietly and put It on the table not
far below his elbow. Don't attract his
attention to what you are doing."
The doctor stood looking thoughfully
down on the Frenchman, who, for his
part, stared glooomlly but tranquilly
at the fireplace. Hewitt stepped quiet
ly over to the doctor, ' and, without
disturbing the man by the Are, said in
terrogatively, "Aphasia?"
The doctor tightened his Hps,
frowned and nodded significantly.
"Motor," he murmured Just loudly
enough for Hewitt to hear, "and
there's a general nervous breakdown as
well, I should say. By the way, per
haps there's no agraphia. Have you
tried him with a pen and paper?"
fen and paper were brought and set
before the man. He was told, slowly
and distinctly, that he was among
friends, whose only object was to re
store him to his proper health. Would
he write his name and address and
any other infofmatlon he might care
to give about himself on the paper' be
fore him?
The Frenchman took the pen and
Btared at the paper. Then slowly and
with much hesitation he traced these

The man paused aftet the lust of
these futile charaeters, and his pen
stabbed Into the paper with a blot as
he dazedly regarded his work. Then,
with a groan, he, dropped it, and his
face sank again Into the bend of his
arm.
The doctor took the paper and
handed It to , Hewitt. "Complete
agraphia, you see," he said. "He
can't write a word. He begins to write
'Monsieur' from sheer habit In begin
ning letters thus; but the word tails
off Into a scrawl. Then his attempts
become mere scribbles, with Just a
trace of some familiar word here and
there, but quite meaningless, all."

chanced to come across a case of
aphasia (happily a rare disease), Hew
itt was acquainted with Its general na
ture. He knew that It might arise
either from some physical Injury to
the brain, or from a breakdown con
sequent on some terrible nervous
strain. He know that in the case of
motor aphasia Jhe sufferer, though
fully conscious of all that goes on
about him, and though quite under
standing what Is said to him, is en
tirely powerless to put his own
thoughts Into awoken words has lost,

of ability to write words with any ref
erence to their meaning Is commonly
an accompaniment.
"You will have him taken to the In
firmary, I suppose?" Hewitt asked.
"Yes," the doctor replied, "I shall go
and see about it at once."
The man looked up again as they
spoke. The policeman had. In accord
ance with Hewitt's request, placed a
loaf of bread on the table, near him,
anrl now as he looked up he caught
sight of It. He started visibly, and
paled, but gave no Hirrh signs of abject
terror as the policeman had previously
observed. He appeared nervous and
uneasy, however, and presently reached
stealthily toward the loaf. Hewitt
continued to talk to the doctor while
closely watching the Frenchman's be
havior from the corner of his eye. The
loaf Is what is called a "plain cottage"
of solid and regular shape; the man
reached It, and immediately turned It
bottom up on the table. Then he sank
back In his chair, with a more con
tented expression, though his gasse was
still directed toward the lonf. The po
liceman grinned silently nt this curi
ous manoeuvre. ((rf r,f

"He will not be moved Just yet, I take

"It may take an hour or, two," the
doctor replied. "Are you anxious to
keep him here?"
"Not for long, ibut I think there's a
curious Inside to the case, and I may
perhaps learn something of it by a little
watehliib. But I can't spare very
long."
