resumed. "The episode of the four
men you saw enter the house over
yonder was not mystifying to me.
Even while you were relating it l
was pretty certain that they were re-
spending to an advertisement of some
description. The only popularity lay
in the fact that they arrived precise
ly an hour apart.
"But that circumstance also is easily
explained: The advertiser had need
for more than one man. and he wanted
to interview them one at time with
out meeting one another. Upon run
ming through the files of the daily pa
pers for fortnight back, l found a
confirmation of my conclusions. Here
it ISIS And he handed Van Vechten d
newspaper clipping, which the latter
studied long and intently before re-
turning:
"WANTED-A young man who will
exchange unreservedly one week of
his time for $1,000 cash. Must ebe
muscular and willing to risk an adj
venture involving an element of dam
ger. If imposed conditions are i'm
plicitly obeyed, payment will be made
Immediately upon successful outcome.
If you are confident you are the young
man, Address X720, Tribune"
"Now," Mr.. Flint went on, certain
obvious conclusions may be drawn
from this advertisement, and certain
things concerning 1t may be pretty
confidently Inferred
Whatever the enterprise, it in
wolves some danger; it requires young
men of physical strength and daring;
and it is of sufficient Importance to
the advertiser for him to expend
considerable sum of money in putting
1t through-say four or five thousand
dollars. There is an army of young
men answering the description, en-
ployed as we'll as unemployed, for
whom the little ad. would hold an IT.
resistible appeal; undoubtedly Mr.
X-72O was deluged with applications.
Then what is his next obvious
step? Why, he puts the mass of let
tiers through process of selection
and rejection. From the lot he
chooses the few which strike him the
most favorably, and makes appoint
ments with the writer's. The house
across yonder was secured as a base
of operations
1T was not rented from the agent"
Van Vechten suddenly interposed, re-
membering feature of the Powhatan
committees call on that individual.
Mr. Flint raised his brows. "So?"
said he. We'll come back to that
letter. was going to say, the mere
fact of the advertiser having selected
SO respectable neighborhood to op-
crate from was no less than a stroke
of genius. Nobody to pry into his at
fairs; nobody to suspect hint was
only by accident that suspicion was at
tracted to him at all" Mr.. Flint's Wis
age assumed satisfied expression, as
he remarked:
His ingenuity commands my admi-
ration; | apprehend that the case will
prove interesting-mos interesting,
indeed"
Don't tell me-" protested Van Vech-
ten, that you can find any satisfaction
In the difficulties you are expecting to
encounter. 1t will be bad enough If
we have to deal with common crooks.
