pityirgly. Don't you see how it

He needed the cooperation of some
one in the post Office to send it out
without arousing suspicion. He tried

would bring results, he recalled his

knew to be weak and easily led He
returned to Ardway-his old home
and found 1t childs play to enlist
Rouser's services. 1t was part of his
general scheme for. Rouser to send

letters could be established he could

tribute. Cant you see how it work
