"It's all of a piece with the sending of the emerald," said Random to the artist, "and that is connected, as we know, with the death of Bolton." "Do you think that this man who has struck down Mrs.Jasher is the same one who strangled Sidney Bolton ?" "I should think so.

Perhaps Mrs.Jasher sent the emerald after all, and this man killed her out of revenge." "But how would he know that she had the emerald ?" "God knows! She may have been his accomplice." Archie knit his brows.
"Who the devil can this mysterious person be ?" "I can only reply as you have done, my friend.

God knows." "Well, I am certain that God will not let him escape this time.

This will bring Gartley once more into notoriety," went on Hope.
