striking differences. The first is that
the pioneering is comparatively luxu-

that strong sunlight or the light from

Sir Oliver Lodge objected that the

Moore's boarding house. 1t seemed
certain that Captain Hanska had not
sold the jewels yet, else he would not
be living 80 cheaply. The first thing
was to find where they were. Finally
Juan and I formed a plan and acted
upon 1t.
Juan had discovered that the back
room on the top floor Of Mrs. Moore's

Hanska lived below; there was no
good reason for him ever to come up
on that floor. I took the vacant room.

Juan lived in an apartment hotel.
We were In communication all the
time by telephone. He was careful to
avoid the captain when he visited me.
1t was all dangerous, for at any time
we might be discovered. But we had
our plan-I was to enter Captain Han
ska's room with a pass-key and search
for the jewels or the bill Of sale.
WuCACNoI 1 u1duo Iulb pCdACA, Juan
was to be following Captain Hanska.
II the captain showed signs Of re-
turning. Juan was to call me up IN the
telephone-the ringing Of the bell in
my room, which informed me from
downstairs that I was wanted on the
extension telephone by my door, was
to be my warning signal. l could hear
that bell from Captain Hanska's room.
There could be no mistake. because
Juan was the only person in New York
who would be telephoning to me.
But when I tried Captain Hanska's
door with my paes-key, l found that he
had installed a patent spring lock.
The next time Juan called, he looked
over the house. He found that you
could enter Captain Hanska's room
from the fire escape-and that you
could get on to- the fire escape from
the window of the lumber room ACROSS
the hall from mine. That room was
never locked. 1t was only a question
Of prying open the catch on Captain
Hanska's window. One night about a
week before Captain Hanska died. I
began the search. I went down the
fire escape, carrying q pocket electric
torch which Juan had bought for me
