however, has found plenty of It somowherc.

There is a marked departure from the story In
tho case of tho cold, emotionless Edward Lang

"It is a long story, but I will in aa few
words an possible, endeavor to make tho mat
ter clear to jou.
' "The murderer lawhat ia called out in
India an adept: nnd he belongs to n comiiiuu.
ity called tho Drethreu of Darkness, This
community is ruled over by u Matter and u
Council of Twelve. With tho first new moon
of the new year soino one is enrolled as au
adept , nnd tho man Hum Dasa you will havo
discovered his name by this was initiated a
little more thau twelve months ago. I knew
him in Calcutta about three j eara ngo. At that
timo ho wai n student of the occult sciences,
ami the result of bin imcsticatinuu inter
ested mo not n little. Then ho had not joined
the Itluck Ilrotbcrhood; and when I railed
on Iiim yesterdoy I was quite unaware of his
connection with the recent murders. Hut his
complicity therewith has since boen revealed
to mo,
" On his initiation he v. as deputed by the
Mnstor to do a certain horrihlo thine
namely, to take the llvis of thiiteun women
of n certain nfllnltv. When you pointed out
that thn murdored women burn a strong phy
sical resemblance to eaoh other, aud thnt each
one had been murdered on her birthday, that
birthday falling on the day of the now moon,
I at ouoe cjrrootly gucascd the motive of
these murdera. Hut, whilo such things are
of freiiueut occurrence in the Kust, I was
puzzled to understand their takiug place in
tho West; but you will find that the iiiur.
dered persons, although in no wav related to
one another, wcro doscendauts of those who
had lived in Judia.vghile Kvel.vn's grandfather
was. as you well know, a distinguished
Anglo-Indian o Ulcer.
" As I have said, murders of this kind oocui
pretty frequently In aiidia.wbere many of the
deaths ascribed to snake lute are in reality
the work of the Illack brethren.

Fur, strauue its It may seem to you, the hand ,B
