CHAPTER FIFTEEN

WHEN SIDNEY came down in .the morning he found Henry ‘Barkes waiting for him at the drawing room door. : “I'd like to talk privately with _ you, Mr. Braitwood,” the chauffeur said. . HE “What's he your mind?” Sidney

followed the man: into the room. “It’s about Murphy,” Barkes ex- = plained. “Owing to the storm, the poor devil had done double duty. |p - He.
