I CHAPTER II.
"At a sign from Hewitt the loaf wa3
removed. Then Hewitt pulled the small
table closer to the Frenchman, and
pushed the pan and sheets of paper
toward (him. The manoeuvre bad its
result. The man looked up and down
the room vacantly once or twice, and
then began to turn the paper over.
From that, he went to drpplng the pen
In the iivkpot; and presently he wea
scribbling at random on. the loose
sheets. Hewitt affected to leave him
entirely alone, and seemed to be ab
sorbed in a contemplation of a photo-
Staph of a police division brass ;band
banging on the wall; but tie saw every
scratch the man made.
At first there was nothing but mean
ingless scrawls and attempted words.
Then rough sketches appeared of a
man's head, a chair or whatnot. On
the mantelpiece stood a small clock,
apparently . sort of humble presen
tation piece, the body of the clock be
ing set In a horseshoe frame with
crossed whips behind it. After a time
the Frenchman's eyes fell on this, and
he began a rude sketch of it. That
lie relinquished, and went on with
other random sketches and scrlbbllngs
on the same pjece of paper, sketching
hastily across his last scratch, he
dropped It, and with a great shudder
turned away again, and hid his 'face by
the fireplace.
Hewitt turned at once and seized the
papers on the table. He stuffed them
all Into his coat pocket, with the ex
ception of the lust, which the man 'had
been engaged on, and this, a facsimile
of which Is subjoined, he stuuied
earnestly for several minutes.
Bowlitt Turned st Oneo and Seised the
. ; Papers on tho Table.
and scribbling over the sketches In a
half mechanical sort of -way, as of one
who trifles with a pen during a brown
study. Beginning at the top left-hand
corner of the paper traveled round
It tH he arrived at the left-hand .bot
tom corner. Then, dashing his pen
Hewitt wished the man good day, and
made his way to the Inspector.
' "Well!" the Inspector said, "Not much
to be got out of him, Is there?" The
doctor will be sending for him pres
ently." "I fancy," said Hewitt, "that this
may turn out a very Important case.
Possibly quite possibly I have not
guessd correctly, and so I won't tell
you anything of It till I know a little
more. But what I want now Is a mes
senger. , Can I send somebody at once
In a cab to my friend Butt at his cham
bers?" ...... . .1
"Certaml: , I'll ftr.d somebody. Want
to write a note?'"
. Hewitt wrote and dispatched a note
which reached me In less than ten minutes.-Then
he asked 'the inspector;
"Have you searched the Frenchman?"
' "Oh, yes; we Went all over him wlvan
we found.. he couldn't explain himself,
to see !.f we could trace his friends or
his address. . He didn't seem to mind,
but there wasn't a single thing In his
pocket not a Single thing, barring; a
rag of a pockeit handkerchief with .no
marking on- It.",.. ,!,-..
.. v!You . notioed that somebody. had
Stolen his watch,' I suppose?".. -w . 1
;r"Well, he hadn't got one." f'
"But ho had one of those flttle verti
cal bsttpnholes in his waistcoat, used
to fasten a watchguard to, and It was
much worn and frayed. So that he
must be In the habit of carrying a
watch, and it is gone."
"Yes, and everything else, too, eh?
Looks like robbery. He's had a knock
or two in the face notice that?"
"I saw the bruises and the cut, of
course; and hla collar has been broken
away with the back button somebody
has taken him by the collar or throat.
Was he 'wearing a hat when he was
found?"'
"No."
"That would Imply that he had only
Just left a house. What street was
he found In?"
"Henry street,' little off Golden
Square. Low street, you know."
"Did the constable notice a door
open near-by?"
The Inspector shook his head. "Half
the doors In the street are open," he
said, "pretty nearly all day."
"Ah, then there's nothing In that. I
don't think he lives there; by the bye,
I fancy 'he comes from, more in the
Seven Dials or Drury Lane direction.
Did you notice anything about the man
that gave you a clue to his occupation,
or, at any. rate, to his habits?' '
"Can't eay I did."
"Well, Just take a look at the back
of his coat before he goes away Just
over the loins. Good day."
As I have said, Hewitt's messenger
was quick. I happened to be In, hav
ing lately returned from a latlsh lunch
when he -arrived with this note:
"My Dear H.: I meant to lunch with
you today, but have been kept. I ex
pect you are Idle this afternoon, and I
have a case that will interest you per
haps be useful to you from a journalis
tic point of view. If you care to see
anything of it, cab away at once to
Fltzroy Square, south side, where I'll
meet you. I will wait no later than
3.30. Yours, m. H."
I had scarce a quarter pf an hour, so
I seized my hat and left my chambers
at once. As It happened, my cab and
Hewitt's burst Into Fltzroy from op
posite sides almost at the same
moment, so t'hat we lost no time.
"Come," said Hewitt, taking my arm
and marching- me off, "we are going to
look for some stabling. Try to feel as
though you'd Just set up a brougham
and had come out to look for a place to
put It in. I fear we may have to de
lude some person with that belief pres
ently," "Why, "what do you want stables for?
And why make me your excuse?"
"As to what I want the Btables for
really, I'm not altogether sure myself.
As to making you an excuse well, even
the humblest excuse is better than
none. , But come, here are some sta
bles, 'Not good enough, thouch. even
If any of them were empty. Come on."
We had stopped for an instant at the
entrance to a "Small alley of rather
dirty stables, and Hewitt, paying ap
parently but small attention to the
stables themselves, had looked sharply
about him, with 'his gaze In the air.
VL know, this part of London pretty
well', Hewitt observed, "and I can
only 'remember one other range of
stabling near byi we must try that.
As a matter of- fact, I'm coming here
on little -more th'an conjecture,' though
I shall be surprised If there isn't some
thing In it.' Do 'you know anything of
aphatsla?".,, ' V: , . ,
"I have heard of It, of course, though
I can't say I remember ever knowing
a case.t'.-..
."I -have seen one today very curi
ous case. The man's a Frenchman,
discovered helpless In the street by a
policeman. The only thing he can
say that has any meaning in it at
all Is 'Je la nle," and that he says me
chanically, without In the least know
ing what he is saying. And he can't
write. But he'got sketching and scrawl
ing various things on some paper, and
his scrawls, together with another
thing or two, have given me an Idea.
We're following It up now. When we
are less busy, and In a quiet place, I
"Oood Day," Hewitt Raid Pleasantly to
the Young Man,
will show you the sketches and explain
things generally; there's no time now,
and I muy want yourbalp for aWt, In
which case Ignorance may prevent you
spoiling things, you clumsy rufllan.
Hullo! here we are, I think."
We had stopped t the end of an
other stable yard, rather dirtier than
the first. The stables were sound but
Inelegant sheds, -and one or two ap
peared to be devoted to other purposes,
having low chimneys, on one of which
an old basket was raklshly set by way
of cowl. Beside the entrance a worn
out old board was nailed, with the le
gend, "Stabling to Let," In letters for
merly white, on a ground formerly
black.
"Come," said Hewitt,, "we'll explore."
We picked our way over the grassy
cobblestones and looked about us.' On
the left was the wall Inclosing certain
back yards, and on the right the sta
bles. Two doors in the middle of these
were open, and a butcher's young man
who, with his shiny bullet head, would
have been known for a butcher's young
man anywhere, was wiping over the
new-washed wheel of a smart butch
er's cart. 1
"Good day," Hewitt said pleasantly
to the young man. "I notice there's
some stabling to let here. Now where
should I Inquire about It?"
"Jones, Whitfield street," the young
man answered, giving the wheel a final
spin. "But there's only one little place
to let now, I think, and It ain't very
grand." - . - '
"Oh I Which Is that?" .
"Next but one to the street there. A
chap 'ad It for wood choppln', but 'e
chucked it. There ain't room for
moro'n a donkey an' a barrow." . ( '
"Ah, that's a- pity, We're not' par
ticular, but want 'something ' big
enough, and we don't mind, paying a
fair price. - Perhaps we might make ar
rangements with somebody here who
has a stable."
The-young man shook his head. '"J.
shouldn't think so," he said doubtfully;
they're mostly shop people as wants
all the room tlu-mselves. My guv'nor
couldn't do nothink, I know. These
'ere two stables ain't scarcely enough
for all 'e wants as It is. Then there's
Harkett, the greengrocer 'ere, next
door. That ain't no good. Then next
to that there's, the little place as Is to
let, and at the end there's Griffith's at
the butter shop."
"And those the other way?"
"Well, this 'ere first one's Curtis',
Euston road that's a butter shop, too,
an" 'e 'as the next after that. The last
one, up at 'the nd I dunno quite
whose that It. It aln-t been long took,
but I b'lleve It's some foreign bakers.
I ain't ever see anythlnk come out of
It, though, but there's a 'ouse there, I
know I seen the food took In."
Hewitt turned thoughtfully away.
"Thanks," he said. "I supposed we
can't manage It, then. Good day."
