The car was driven over a rough road and
stopped near them

Straight ahead ot them was an excavation

them. and the work,nen made themselves
comfortable III their own way.
" We can't do anything TIL three @ clock,
remarked The Thinking Machine
" And Just what shall we 60 then inquired
the Young woman expcctantly- It was the

One hour later the long lost family plate

and the Others stopped over the Tottl.g box

The Thinking Machine turned and sgulntcd

and She is right handed.
The girl smiled Al Hatchs astouI- hment-
Then the other Young woman merely I'm
pcrsnnatcd Miss HardIng," he asked at last
That Is all and Geverlv.' replied The
Thinking Machine. She merely wanted me-
t. read the cipher for her. ! put her on the
track Of reading II herself purp'scly, and she
and the persons associated with her are Tcspotl-
sIble for the excavation over there
