From Mrs. Lecount to Mr. de Bleriot.

"November 1st.

"DEAR SIR—One line to say that your letter has just reached me at my lodging in London. I think I know who sent the strange man to inquire at Allonby. It matters little. Before he finds out his mistake, I shall be at Dumfries. My luggage is packed, and I start for the North by the next train.

"Your deeply obliged

"VIRGINIE LECOUNT."
