Mr. Wright took the note, and opened it. He glanced at it, and then turning to the boy, asked:

“From whom did you receive this?”

“A man,” the boy replied.

“Where was he when he gave it to you?”

“In the barroom of the Humberland House.”

“What kind of a looking man was he?”

“He was tall, had a smooth face and black hair.”

“What did he say when he gave you the note?”

“He said simply to fetch it down to you.”

“Was that all?”
