Jack fell into silence, and his active mind was performing wonders of detective investigation, and after a season he asked:
"How long was the man in your presence who confided this fortune to you."
"He was with me over an hour."
"Do you recall his appearance?"
"As well as though it were yesterday that he stood in my presence—yes, I possess a wonderful memory."
"How old are you, sir?"
"I am seventy."
"How old was the man who called on you?"
"He was a man between fifty and sixty, I should say."
"He had gray hair?"
