shelves. He had even been careful
to assure himself that all the vol
umes at this exact point stood far
enough forward to afford room behind
them for the chips and plaster he
must necessarily push through with
his auger, and also-important consid-
eration-for the free passage of the
sounds by which he hoped to profit.
But 1t was days before he could
trust himself so far. Meanwhile their
acquaintance ripened, though with no
very satisfactory results. The detec-
tive found himself led into telling sto-
ries of his early home-life to keep
pace with the man who always had
something of moment and solid in
able, for isstead of calling out cor
responding confidence from Brother
son, 1t only seemed to make his con-
yersation more coldly impersopSl.
In conseqs6a,H, Sweetwater Adden-
ly found himselA quite we'll and one
evening, when h was sure that his
neighbor was at home, he slid softly
into his closet ami laid his ear to the
opening he had made there. The re-
suit was unexpected. Mr.. Brotherson
was pacing the fidpr, and talking soft
ly to himself.
At first, the catience and full mu-
sic OF the tones conveyed nothing to
our far from literary detective. The
victim OF his secr4t Vaccinations was
expressing himself in words. words
that was the point which counted
with him. But ash he listened longer
and gradually took In the sense OF
these words, his Heart went down
lower and lower till II reached his
boots. His inscrutb BILE and ever dis

He was reciting poetry, and what was
worse. poetry which he only half re-
membered and was Trying 70 recall
an incredible occupation for a man
weighted with a criminal secret.
Sweetwater was di4gusted. and was
withdrawing in high Indignation from
his vantage-point wh3n something oc-

The hole which In the darkness OF
the closet was alwaysl family visible,
even when the light Vas not very
strong in the adjoinihg room, had
suddenly become a bright and shining
loop-hole, with a suggettion OF move
ment IN the space beyotd. The book
which had hid this holt on Brother
sons side had been taken down-the

removal threatened fweetwater's
schemes. If not himself,

between him and the street. Then he
took up his anger again and shut
himself up in his closet
There was nothing peculiar about
this closet. 1t was just an ordinary
one with drawers and shelves on one
side, and an open space on the other
for the hanging UP of clothes. Very
few clothes hung there at present I;
but 1t was in this portion of the closet
that he stopped and began to try the
wall OF Brotherson's room, with the
butt end of the tool he carried.
The sound seemed to satisfy him,
for very soon he was boring a hole
at point exactly level with his ear.
Meat as well as useful" was the
gay comment with which Sweetwater
surveyed his work, then laid his ear
to the hole. Whereas previously he
could barely hear the rafting of Goals
from the coal.scuttle, he was now able
to catch the sound of an ash falling
into the ash-pit.
His next move was to test the depth
of the partition by inserting his finger
stopped by some obstacle before 1t
had reached half its length, and anx-
ious to satisfy himself of the nature
Of the obstacle, he gently moved the
tip of his finger to and fro over what
was certainly the edge of book.
This proved that his calculations
had been correct and that the open
ing so accessible on his side, was
completely yelled on the other by the
books he had seen packed on the

sci, as Is usual in similar cases. He
felt the mystery more In the hubbub

In the nights silence and inactivity
He was glad when the stroke of six
gave him an excuse to leave the room.
At half past six he found the jani-

He waited for no reply and got

He could easily have replaced the
missing book before Mr.. Brotherson
turned. But the issue was too doubt
