RESTORED the picture to its
place and left the building. As I
did so the first signs Of dawn be-
came visible in the east had
expended three hours in picking out
she meaning concealed in the wavy
lines of the old picture.
l was early at headquarters that
morning. but not SO early as to find the
superintendent alone. A group of men
were already cOngregated about him IN
his small office, and when, on being ad-
mitted, l saw among them the district
attorney, Durbin and another famous
detective, l instinctively knew what
matter was under discussion.
There was with them a fourth man,
who stood apart. On him the general
attention had been concentrated Mt my
entrance and to him it now returned.
He was an unpretentious person Of
kindly aspect. To any one accustomed
to Washington residents, he bore the
unmistakable signs of being one of
the many departmental employees
whose pay is inadequate to the neces-
Sites Of his family. OF his personal
peculiarities l noted two. He bllnked
when he talked and suffered pain
fully when excited. Notwithstanding
these defects he made a good impress
sion and commanded confidence. This
l soon saw was Of Importance, for the
story he now entered upon was one
calculated to make me forget my own
errand and even to question my own
convictions.
The first intimation received Of the
curious nature of his communication
