At the end of four days, Average Jones had satisfied him. self that if Livius were seeking any thing in particular, he had an indef- nite task before him, for the colonel's bound treasures were in indescribable confusion.
 Often Colonel Graeme spent hours in one or the other of the huge book rooms talking with his strange protege and making copious notes Usually the old gentleman questioned and the other answered. But one morning the attitude seemed, to the listening Ad- Visor, to be reversed. Livius, in the far corner of the room was speaking in low tone. To judge from the other mans impatient manner, the Roman was interrupting his hosts current of queries with interrogations of his own Average Jones made a mental note, and, in conference with Warren that evening, asked him to ascertain from Colonel Graeme whether Livius' in- quiries had indicated specific inter- est In any particular line of reading

 Yes. He seems to be specializing on late seventeenth century British classicism."

 "Old Saul? I questioned him about strange callers. He said he remem- bered only two, besides an occasional peddler or agent. They were looking for work

 Inside the house. One wanted to catalogue the library"
 What did he look like?'
 Saul says he wore glasses and a worse tall hat than the colonel's and had a full beard"
 And the other?"
 "Bookbinder and repairer Wanted to fix up Colonel Graemes collection. Youngish. smartly dressed. with a small waxed mustache."
 And our Livius is elean-shaven. :" murmured Average Jones' How long apart did they eall?" i About two weeks. But when are We going to spring upon friend Livius and strip him of his counterfeit toga?"
 That's the easiest part of it. I've already caught him filling a fountain pen as If he'd been brought up on them. and humming the spinning chorus from The Flying Dutchman; not to mention the lifting of my news paper.

 No As you say. no fellow can be on the job all the time. But our prob lem is not to catch Livius. but to find out what it is he's been after for the last three months"
