enough they did. He selected large.

at one edge Of its web Sounding the
fork, he touched a thread at the other
side OF the web. and watched the re-
suit Mr.. Spider had the buzzing
sound conveyed TO him over his tele-
phone wires; but how was he TO know
on which particular wire the sound was
travelingp lie ran to the center OF the

until he touched the thread against the
other eni OF which the fork was
sounding; then taking another thread
along just us q man would take an ex-

treated little way and looked at the
