We told Borofsky, and I don’t know when I have seen any one quite so sur- prised.

‘“‘Why on earth didn’t you tell me this?’ he said. ‘It is most important corroboration of the pristaf’s words.’’

I explained that we had believed Per- cy to be the victim of an optical delu- sion.

‘*Well,”’ he said, ‘‘without the pris- taf’s confirmation of it, I, too, should have said Mr.—this gentleman—had made a mistuke; also without this gen- tleman’s corroboration I should and did say that the pristaf had for once been too clever or not clever enough. But, taking both stories together, I find that each assertion stands stronger upon its legs by reason of the support it derives from the other. give my opinion, I should now be in- clined to declare that this gentleman did see the count in London, though why his abductors should have taken him there is what at present is quite beyond me tv explain. Let us sleep on the matter and take counsel in the morning.’”’

And, it being midnight by this time, we departed to our rooms. As for me, I went to bed with a sense that the mys- tery was by no means put forward by this new development, but rather set back and complicated.

CHAPTER VIL THE COUNT REPORTED FOUND.

It is impossible, I suppose, to witness the enthusiastic confidence of another in the correctness of his own reading of a mystery without, in some measure, becoming infected. I did not agree with my young detective. suade whom I loved and respected with all my heart, could possibly be in London and enjoying, as was obviously the case, at least a certain degree of liberty, with- out using thet liberty to write or wire to his wife in order to relieve the anx- iety from which he must know she would besuffering. It would not be like father. Why should he do it?

‘‘Because,’’ said Borofsky, in effect, ‘the hasn’t. He has written, and the let- ter has miscarried or has been inter- cepted. ”’

‘“‘By whom ?’’ I asked.

Borofsky shrugged his shoulders.

‘If we knew that,’’ he said, ‘‘there

I could not per- | myself that my dear father, |

‘*But we can’t get over the fact that Percy saw this man in London and said that, though he looked like father, he was dressed so—so funnily, and in fact —to put it quite plainly—that he look- ed a downright bounder, which my dear father could never possibly do!’’

‘‘Disguises do wonders!’’ said Borof- sky, shrugging his shoulders.

‘‘But why should he be disguised?’ I persisted.

‘“Why has he gone away? Why has all this happened, and how? Tell me that, and I'll tell you the rest!’’ laughed Borofsky. ‘‘Enough that we have a good scent here, and, besides, another old trail that may one day be taken up again at Erinofka,”’

All this certainly deeply interested if it did not actually convince me that the man Percy met in Oxford street was my father and no other. Then it occur- red to Borofsky that it would be well if one, at least, of our little hunting party of three were to take up his post in London in the hope of meeting with this mysterious personage, whether fa- ther or some one else.

‘*You are the right one to go,” said Borofsky, wagging his head at me, ‘‘for you would be less likely to be the vic- tim of mistaken identity. It would be useless for me to go because, unfortu- nately, the count is a stranger to me, and I should not know him if I saw him. And as for this gentleman’’— Percy—‘‘he might. of course, be de- ceived, not being a son of the count.”’

“TI don’t think 1 should, all the same,’’ said Percy.

‘‘I can’t possibly leave my mother,’ { put in, ‘‘for some little while at all events. I am sure Percy knows my fa- ther well enough not to mistake him for any one else if he gets a real good look at him, and perhaps a talk as well. Would you mind undertaking the job, Percy ?”’

‘‘Of course not,’’ Percy scoffed. you think I'll do,”’ he added. do you think, Mr. Borofsky ?’’

‘*You’ll do well enough,’’ said Borof- sky, ‘‘if our friend here cannot see his way to going. Are you anything of a photographer ?’’ he added unexpectedly.

“Only with a little snap shot ma- chine,’’ laughed Percy. ‘‘Why? Am I te photograph all the suspicious people { see?’’

‘‘Not quite that; but if you should meet the count or this individual you consider so marvelously like him and could get a snapshot at him you might

send us over a copy and the countess or Count Boris could easily identify or repudiate the gentleman as per portrait. That would save a great deal of trou- ble, for though you might make a mis- take they could scarcely doso. Thus when your print arrived we should be able to say at once: ‘This is the count. We have found him.’ Or, ‘This is some cne else and Mr. Percy may return to help us look elsewhere for the count.’ ”

Percy laughd.

“‘Well,’’ he said, ‘‘I’ll take my hand camera anyway. It’s only a tiny thing at best, though; so don’t expect much result. And if I’m arrested by the city police for taking snap shots at innocent persons I shall expect you to come and bail me out!’’ Which favor we prom- ised Percy should not be denied him in case of need.

Then we dispatched Percy by train, bidding him wire to us immediately in case he should meet with any kind of success, and warning him above all, if ever he caught sight of the man—father or another—whom he had seen ona former occasion, to make sure of his ad- dress by following him, and if possible to watch or have the place watched un- til we should have had an opportunity of seeing the portrait and, perhaps, even of running over to London to see the original himself.

I don’t think Percy was very sanguine as to his mission and the chances of see- ing his former friend again. It would be the merest fluke if he did, he said. One might as well search for a grain of wheat in the proverbial sackful of chaff.

Before we left the station the idea oc- curred to Borcfsky that it would be in- teresting to ask the young fellow at the ticket office whether Count Landrinof had traveled to London lately. The count was 60 well known in St. Peters- burg that the clerk would probably have recognized him, and might tell us the very day he started, and whether alone or accompanied. This would at least show us whether Percy’s mission was a mere fool’s errand or whether the count, having really departed from London, might still be found there.

‘‘But the clerk will think me such a fool not to know whether my own father has gone to London or not!’’ I protest- <2. ‘‘Can’t you say you require the date

This must be it, I think, 17-25 | Jnly, seventeenth old style, twex ninth new. I believe that must be tue day. You may take it as pretty cer- ‘ain.”’

‘*Good!"’ said Borofsky. ‘‘That is the very day we fixed upon; the certainty of it will enable us to place our hands apon the guilty party. We are so much obliged to you. By the bye,’’ he added. ‘“‘you did not happen to notice the clothes in which his excellence traveled? There is a little point about a certain silk hat, which may or may not have been among the articlesstolen. Had the count a tall hat now ora soft Tyrolese?”’

‘A tall hat,’’ said the clerk prompt- ly, ‘‘and a frock coat, such as I have generally seen his excellence wear. I happened to notice it because some one made the remark that Count Landrinof always looked far more of an English- man than a Russian.”’

I gave the clerk acigar. He deserved it.

Borofsky was jubilant as we left the station.

‘*You see,”’ he said, ‘‘your father did go to London and just at the date of his disappearance too. Moreover, he was dressed as usual, and he went alone, for apparently only one London ticket was issued. ”’

‘‘That makes the mystery all the worse,’’ I said, ‘‘for why shculd my dear father, who was always as happy in his cwn house as any man can be— why should he suddenly depart for Lon- don, alone and without notice, unless carried away by force or cunning, the victim of some motive and of some per- sons as to whose identity we can only guess ?”’

**As to going alone,” said Borofsky, “others may easily have escorted him to the frontier and handed him over to a second batch of escorters. It is suffi- cient that this man was the count. Everything points to it. The rest we shall learn when your friend shall have found out for us his whereabouts. ”’

As a matter of fact Percy had scarce- ly been a week away when one evening, to our intense excitement, we received a telegram laconically worded as fol- lows:

I think I’ve got him. Will wire again pres ently. PERCY.
