When he awoke it was daylight. He

not knowing where he was. Then.
stretching himself and yawning, he
rose to his feet and began to ponder
upon the best means of effecting his
escape unnoticed. AS he stood be-

through chink at the deserted street,
he heard sharp click at the gate. A
postman had dropped letter into the
box. Haynes hesitated; then, very
deliberately, he unbolted the front
door, walked down the patch of weed
grown garden, and took the letter.
It was addressed to Chauncey e.
Robertson.
Then the man came there secretly,
he thought, as he tore it open without

brary and read it. It began without
address and briefly informed the re-

Omaha lies some three hundred and
fifty miles east of Benderville. That
evening, John Haynes strapped on his
gyroscope skates, and running swiftly
along the railroad lines through the
darkness, hating only to make de-
tour round the larger stations, he
reached Omaha about two in the
morning and made his way to the ad-
dress given. It was small, old build
ing in an old part of the city: it was
not guarded and it was easy to pick
the lock of the entrance door with a
skeleton key and to enter. Haynes
found a little directory printed in
black letters upon the wall. He looked
for Robertson's name, and to his as
constituent, he found:

name again, painted upon the ground

informed him that he was in the real

he was inside tiny Office, furnished
