"'Tell me,' said he at last, "'could you swear that this was a man's face which you saw at the window?'

"'How long is it since your wife asked you for a hundred pounds?'
"'Nearly two months.'
"'Have you ever seen a photograph of her first husband?'
"'No.
There was a great fire at Atlanta very shortly after his death, and all her papers were destroyed.'
"'And yet she had a certificate of death.

"'Yes.
She got a duplicate after the fire.'
"'Did you ever meet anyone who knew her in America?'
"'No.'
"'Did she ever talk of revisiting the place?'
"'No.'
