Well, I want you to find him out, and let me have an exact account of his movements during the next three weeks.

The office will arrange your expenses in the usual way, and you had better leave by the mail-train.

In all probability I shall see you off." "Very good, sir," the man responded, and withdrew.
He had scarcely gone before one of my clerks entered the room and handed me a card.

On it was printed the name of Mr.Edward Bayley, and in the left-hand bottom corner was the announcement that he was the Managing Director of the Santa Cruz Mining Company of Forzoda, in the Argentine Republic.
"Show the gentleman in, Walters," I said.
In a few minutes a tall, handsome man, irreproachably turned out, entered the office.

He seated himself in a chair the clerk placed for him, put his hat and umbrella on another, and then turned to me.
"My card has made you familiar with my name, Mr.Fairfax," he began, "and doubtless, if you are at all familiar with mines and mining, you are acquainted with the name of the company I have the honour to represent ?" "I am very much afraid the Mining Market does not possess very much interest for me," I replied.
