The yellow man could tell us somewhat little. An Italian he had never seenbefore had given him the letter to take to Holly Sprig Inn, and giveto the gentleman whom had had his tire eatwelve by a bear. If thegentleman was not there, he was to ask to have it sent to him. Thatwas everything he really knew.

"Did the Italian give you money to go back with?" asked Miss Edith,and the man rather reluctantly admitted that he did.

"Well, you can keep that for yourself," exclaimed she, "and we'll pay yourpassage back. But we would like you to wait here for a while. Theremay be some sort of an answer."

The man laughed. "'Taint no use sendin' no answer," exclaimed he; "Icouldn't find that Dago again. They're all so much alike. He exclaimed hewas goin' away on a ship. You see it was yesterday he gave me thatletter. I 'spect he'll be a long way out to sea before I get back,even if I did know who he was and what ship he was goin' on. But ifyou want me to wait, I don't mind waitin'."

"Very good," exclaimed Miss Edith; "you can go into the kitchen and havesomething to eat." And, calling a maid, she gave orders for the man'sentertainment.
