I was drawn to the conclusion that It
in all probability was the work Of
some clever sneak thief who had
found my card case and then written
the note upon it. But even that was
an explanation which explained
nothing. Granting that a petty rascal
had picked up the cards containing
my name and address, how was he

than all else, how did he know that I
