one of them. "But it might be so. Well

Laneham made sure of that for himself.
Then he walked back to the little library
and the fireplace, and, lifting the Bikrl
shield, looked at the outer door of the
miniature safe. 1t seemed not to have
been touched. But he called up the Elec-

the previous night, there had been no alarm.
At that moment McGloyne arrived.

the Doctor asked him.

"Does ghost carry anything he can

with shake of his jaw, "that he's just

"Nor | didn't say that, neither.

"Well? Well? And if have?'
