CHAPTER IV. MR. CUSS INTERVIEWS THESTRANGERtle. He was working in a room with an open fireplace, hesaid. Saw a flicker, and there was the prescription burningand lifting chimneyward. Rushed towards it just as itwhisked up the chimney. So! Just at that point, to illustratehis story, out came his arm.""Well?""No hand–just an empty sleeve. Lord! I thought, that’sa deformity! Got a cork arm, I suppose, and has taken itoff. Then, I thought, there’s something odd in that. Whatthe devil keeps that sleeve up and open, if there’s nothingin it? There was nothing in it, I tell you. Nothing downit, right down to the joint. I could see right down it to theelbow, and there was a glimmer of light shining througha tear of the cloth. ’Good God!’ I said. Then he stopped.Stared at me with those black goggles of his, and then athis sleeve.""Well?""That’s all. He never said a word; just glared, and puthis sleeve back in his pocket quickly. ’I was saying,’ saidhe, ’that there was the prescription burning, wasn’t I?’ Interrogativecough. ’How the devil,’ said I, ’can you movean empty sleeve like that?’ ’Empty sleeve?’ ’Yes,’ said I,’an empty sleeve.’44
CHAPTER IV. MR. CUSS INTERVIEWS THESTRANGER"’It’s an empty sleeve, is it? You saw it was an emptysleeve?’ He stood up right away. I stood up too. Hecame towards me in three very slow steps, and stoodquite close. Sniffed venomously. I didn’t flinch, thoughI’m hanged if that bandaged knob of his, and those blinkers,aren’t enough to unnerve any one, coming quietly upto you."’You said it was an empty sleeve?’ he said. ’Certainly,’I said. At staring and saying nothing a barefaced man,unspectacled, starts scratch. Then very quietly he pulledhis sleeve out of his pocket again, and raised his arm towardsme as though he would show it to me again. Hedid it very, very slowly. I looked at it. Seemed an age.’Well?’ said I, clearing my throat, ’there’s nothing in it.’"Had to say something. I was beginning to feel frightened.I could see right down it. He extended it straighttowards me, slowly, slowly–just like that–until the cuffwas six inches from my face. Queer thing to see an emptysleeve come at you like that! And then–""Well?""Something–exactly like a finger and thumb it felt–nipped my nose."Bunting began to laugh.45

"’It’s an empty sleeve, is it? You saw it was an empty
sleeve?’ He stood up right away. I stood up too. He
came towards me in three very slow steps, and stood
quite close. Sniffed venomously. I didn’t flinch, though
I’m hanged if that bandaged knob of his, and those blinkers,
aren’t enough to unnerve any one, coming quietly up
to you.
"’You said it was an empty sleeve?’ he said. ’Certainly,’
I said. At staring and saying nothing a barefaced man,
unspectacled, starts scratch. Then very quietly he pulled
his sleeve out of his pocket again, and raised his arm towards
