Keeping the once openY" l asned,
much puzzled over this new mystery.
How l wished for Davis! Mystery
seemed to be piling on mystery with
every step / took Beyond the one
conviction l had that Hugh Crandall
was in some way to blame for it all, l
saw nothing that would help me in my
undertaking.
We've arranged about that We've
sent for Jennie Cox 10 come over ard
take charge. She always takes hold
when Charlie Rouser wants to take a
day or a halliday off She knows The
combination Of the safe and the money
drawer, and has been sworn In as sre-
cial assistant. She'll know what to do
and who to notify"
1T may interest you to know that
Post Office Inspector Davis will be out
here tonight" | told them. 81 left
him in New York last night, and lie
promised to join NE here"
Suspicion flashed into the faces Of
all my auditors.
Maybe that's why Rouser has dis
appeared" suggested the constable.
Hes been spending a lot of money
lately, Rouser has. Maybe he knew
the inspector was coming and was
short in his accounts"
He couldn't have known It," pro-
tested. THE inspector himself diGl t
know he was coming here until lac
yesterday afternoon. and there isn't
any way possible that the postmast4 r
could have been advised of his con-
ing"
The arrival of the substitute Official
diverted the conversation. Miss Cox,
an unimaginative, unattractive WON
an Of thirty, In most matter of ia t
way entered the building and took
charge.
The first thing" she said as she
calmly hung up her hat and coat, IS
for all you men to get out of here SO
that | can sort the mail"
Even the constable moved toward
the door. impelled by the authority in
her tone and his own respect for gov
eminent property. | determined MT
TO be routed so easily. 1t seemed 10
me that the occasion afforded me an
excellent opportunity. not to solve the
mystery OF the missing postmaster,
but to work out one of my own puz-
zles-who 1t WAS that had rented Lock
Box II.
Miss Cox | said, "as personal

be no question about Your statement

ing no way in which | could success

stranger" without revealing my whole

do until Davis arrived and | had had
an opportunity to consult with him.
Il may be blocking your plans" said
The landlord gruffiy, but you'll get no

How many of them were thene?'

Questions poured thick and fast on
the youngster, who evidently had told
all he knew and little more. took
advantage of the Juror his story had
created to slip around to the rear of
the building. where | found a self-ap-
pointed committee of citizens and the
constable guarding the door.
Has anything been stolen?"
asked.
Not as far as we can discover"
said the constable. There amt no
disorder about the place and the safe
hasn't been busted. as far as | can
see. | amt made any regular inves-
tigation, being as this Is government
property"
Has no one any Idea where the
postmaster is?' | asked.
That's just what we've been trying
to find out. Jim, here, as soon as We
found Rouser wasn't here, went up to
the Widow Smiths, where he boards.
Thought maybe he'd just oversight or
something like that. or maybe was
sick. But Mrs. Smith went up and
looked in his room and come down and
said he hadn't been home all night"
yes" interrupted Jim, land what's
more, she said II was nothing unusual
for him not to come home There was
lots and lots of nights recently when
he didn't show up. She had no idea
