That from a private soldier to his captain! Yet all my leader answered was "You think there's cause to change our mind?" "union man, I take it, is he not?" "What year is it?" enquired the other suddenly, and without altering a muscle of his face. "I must get myself seen to," he mused, "because, of course, that accounts for everything; my lapse into this defunct order of things and my inability to move about freely in the usual, multiform manner. And it accounts for my absurd behaviour just now." In order to examine once more the state of affairs around Liège, I decided to pay another visit to that town.

From behind a large tree emerged a figure. Larry and the detective followed at a run. But the man who came quickly forward to meet them gave all three a surprise. They laid Landor upon the ground, in the same patch of shade he had glanced at in coming by not five [Pg 281]minutes before. His glazed eyes stared back at the sky.
