outline of the marks on the blotter,

the message would just fit snugly on
this sheet. Next, you will probably
admit that the first line of marks on the
blotter probably contain a date; the
second, name; the third, an address;

this blank SO that the reflection of its

he could see the telephone closet. the
door of which stood open. Chatham
was in direct range, as Arbogast raised
the pistol, and, without word Of warn

ceiyer of the telephone 10 his ear. This
saved his life; for the bullet entered his
left hand and remained embedded in
his flesh. When the bullet struck him.
Chatham fell forward, striking his head

intensely red hue, which are evidently
his. | also found shreds OF his cloth

clerks room, probably hoping TO make
his way TO the street through the
Exchange Place door But at the
same time, Arbogast rushed through
the reception room and this office,

off Chatham, who then turned back
and ran through the secretary's room,

meantime X, to whom | have al

We favor the expansion of trade by
