I looked over the schedule again carefully. There was only one opening that I could see where it was. possible to begin work with the hope of accom- pIishing anything That was in the very first entry. Miss Holladay had driven to Washington square; she had, I felt certain, visited her sister; I must discover the lodging of this woman. Perhaps I should also discover Frances Holladay there In any event, should have new point to work from.

But that fact did not discourage me. for hoped to start my search with information which the police had not possessed. Brooks, the coachman, should be able to tell me
