easy as You ,hink-that is. to do it with
out arousing suspicion. People do not

suited his watch and found he would
have barely time to dress and breakfast.

The detective, who had not greeted

now addressed Il salutation to him, and
bending over his desk moved newspa-
per, revealing the glove under glass
still on the little fan on which it had
been placed Cathcart took it. and
moving the glass, handed it to Dorison
