A bulletin was put up.
Some hours later. Sweetwater re-
entered the room, and, approaching
Mr.. Gryce with a smile, blurted out:
"The bulletin is great go. I've

Physicians find that Miss Challoner was

like to see the desk you speak Of,

A young fellow who had been hover
ing in the background at once stepped
forward. He was the plain-faced de-
tective who had spoken to George.
"Will you take my arm, sir?"
Mr.. Gryce's whole face frightened.
This Sweetwater, as they called him,

his proteges and more or less of q

Have you had a chance at this

The mezzanine was guarded from
all visitors save such as had official
sanction. Consequently, the two re-
manned quite uninterrupted while
they moved about the place In quiet
consultation. The locale was what
Gryce wanted, and he got 1t. Wheth-
