What names are you wanting to trace ?" But Bryce affected not to hear the last question; he walked over to the place which Campany had indicated, and taking down the second book carried it to an adjacent table.

Campany called across the room to him.
"You'll find useful indexes at the end," he said.

"They're all brought up to the present time--from four hundred years ago, nearly." Bryce turned to the index at the end of his book--an index written out in various styles of handwriting.

And within a minute he found the name he wanted--there it was plainly before him--Richard Jenkins, died March 8th, 1715: buried, in Paradise, March 10th.

He nearly laughed aloud at the ease with which he was tracing out what at first had seemed a difficult matter to investigate.
