Brand took lead pencil from his

the two reporters. accustomed as they
ware in their business to ingenious

Then the scheme dawned on them.
Brand took the telephone receiver from

ately snapped upward. establishing the
connection. Then he inserted the point
of the lead pencil in the small aperture
under the little metal arm or hook and
deliberately broke it off. The tiny
wedge thus held up the hook. Brand
now hung up the receiver. and the pen

receiver from bearing the hook down

nection was made continuous without
the slightest indication that such was
the case Every word now spoken

mouthpiece would be conveyed TO the
