when Miss Maclane went into Miss
Miller's ROOM
Il did not suppose that this decep-

you; that she knew who you were. And
you are not disguised"
II have shaved off my mustache,''
said the detective, land look like the
devil without it. But this whole mat
ter of disguise is merely knowing what
somebody else will notice. When
you're going to be recognized, send an
other man. Miss Maclane had too
much on her mind at the Thirty eighth
street house. She couldn't have told

as you'll admit Your patient recog-

Miss Maclane says she never saw Miss
Miller before. What do you make Of

''Now, see here" said Elmendorf
"let's view this matter calmly. No.

Talk about calmness! Wait a minute
