SPARGO WISHES TO SPECIALIZE The barrister and the journalist, left thus unceremoniously on a crowded pavement, looked at each other.

Breton laughed.
"We don't seem to have gained much information," he remarked.

"I'm about as wise as ever." "No--wiser," said Spargo.

"At any rate, I am.

I know now that this dead man called himself John Marbury; that he came from Australia; that he only landed at Southampton yesterday morning, and that he was in the company last night of a man whom we have had described to us--a tall, grey-bearded, well-dressed man, presumably a gentleman." Breton shrugged his shoulders.
"I should say that description would fit a hundred thousand men in London," he remarked.
"Exactly--so it would," answered Spargo.
