Potheses would explain that. But if the monkey
didn't have pocket somewhere in its clothing then
don't see 50 readily why oh. OF course must
have been bigger than | thought, he unused
What? inquired Hatch.
Are you sure, Mr. Hatch that there had been
nothing sewn to the clothing of the monkey asked
The Thinking Machine without needing the question
- that nothing had been ripped loose from the
clothing:
Il can't say. as to that" the reporter replied.
Where Is the monkey now:
Still there IN the room. | suppose | came
straight from there TO YOU here OF course my being
held up that way wasn't OF any actual consequence
1t merely Incidental thought. TO the other D.:
The Thinking Machine nodded Yes he agreed.
Il presume that merely because you happened
to arrive al an lnopportune moment. and that
method employed 10 keep YOU out of the way
until whatever to be done done
The Thinking Machine and the reporter went out
together II was te" minutes past nine clock
when they reached the tenement It dirty and
lily lighted. and boldly faced a street which a
center of the Italian colony Hatch led the way
and up the stars 10 the room where he had lett the
monkey The little body still lay hudded up, inert,
he had left II
By the light OF an electric bulb The Thinking
Machine examined II closely Twice Hatch HIM
shake his head When The Thinking Machine rose
from the floor ms face was lnscrutable lie led Hatch
around that and the next and through a third
which connected, and then they went out
i IS an extraordinary case. Mr. Hatch. he
explained as they Went There three
explanations of the affair. either OF which would

That would seem difficult" Hatch sug-
gested Il IS extremely improbable that anyone
knows OF the affair except the persons who were
responsible for II. perhaps the owner OF the monkey
and ourselves An advertisement IN the newspapers
would brlng the owner quickly enough
There Is always the possibility. Mr. Hatch, that
the Is the man who killed the monkey ..
replied the scientist In that event the advertise
mcnt would do no good and there is a question #
would be advisable let those persons who are
responsible for the animals death know that the
course that some one besides the owner killed it
l. Will be Just Is Well TO let the young woman who
held YOU prisoner believe that the affair at an
end Any other course Just now might indirectly
endanger the life of some one who has not yet
appeared in the case.
Il going home now. Mr. Hatch, concluded
the scientist, and II IS possible that within two or
three hours | may devise a plan by which we can
find the monkeys owner. If 50. shall communicate
with YOU
You can reach me police headquarters until
about midnight, replied the reporter Il am going
up there on another affair.
