"A strange man was in yesterday."
"Ah! tell us of him."
Mr. Sumner told what he knew. Parker turned to Hal.
"Would you know this fellow again, if you saw him?" he asked.
"I believe I would."
"Please describe him as closely as you can."
The youth started and gave a pretty accurate description of his visitor. Both detectives listened attentively.
"Perhaps it was Larkett," suggested Hamington, in an undertone.
"Did the fellow have a cast in his eye?" asked Parker.
"How would the boy know that?" asked Hardwick, nervously. "He says he hardly glanced at the man."
