Myra Trent off Sinclair was there,
but upon his face was a smile of such
satisfaction as made Underby wonder
II perhaps Sinclair had found his op-
portunity. after all.
There was a stir as the train pulled
in. and under cover of the confusion
Sinclair handed package to Miss
Trent
Its the newest detective story" he
explained. Il know that you like all
sorts Of mystery stories. l have taken
the liberty Of adding homemade puz-
zle in case you find the book too short
Myra smiled appreciatively. She pre-
ferred cryptograms to chocolates. rid
dies to roses. She had won many mag
azine contests of this sort in her youth
She found Sinclair's present more ac-
ceptable than Underby's violets. and
as soon as she had settled herself in
her Pullman section she unwrapped
the book
AS she ran over the pages an envel-
ope dropped out. 1t contained single
sheet of note paper. and in Sinclair's
copperplate handwriting was this note:

tumble Of words Many of them looked
familiar. There was no mistaking
''enigmoj." Monde" was clearly the
world" and ''labori" was labor"
Other words were of familiar aspect.
and then there were some that were
totally strange.
1t might be a combination of the
'hog Latin" Of childhood days and the
real Latin OF the college course. but an
hours study showed many words not
to be accounted for on any such n.y.
pothesis. The more she studied the
more firmly convinced was Myra that
this was some new form of cryptogram
invented by Sinclair to divert her on
her two day trip.
She was still studying the slip of pa
per when the porter came around to
make up her berth, and in the troubled
sleep which broke the night journey
strange com binations of letters danced
before her eyes.
When she came back from breakfast
In the diner the next morning the por-
ter approached with small package
"a gemnlan done tole me glib you dis
here in de monin'," he announced as
he handed the package to Myra. The
girls face frightened as she recognized
Sinclair's handwriting. This" evil
IDENTITY contained the key She would
not have to puzzle longer.
From the package dropped small
booklet with Esperanto Key" on the
cover page. Myra had heard of the
universal language" and had heard
also that it required but half an hour
to become familiar with the grammar
%, after all, her mystery was nothing
but letter in Esperanto. and the un-
raveling would come In brief hour
She was half inclined to regret that the
