"The man produced a key from his
pocket and gave 1t to Johnnie In a
stupid. dazed sort of way. The key
was numbered seventy-three.
That's your suite, just across the
hall, SIR Johnnie said. He unlocked
the door for the newcomer, who NUT
tered thickly about the hall being
id confusing to a stranger, and
gave him a dollar. Johnnie waited
until the man had lurched into his
rooms, then asked if he wanted ice
water Receiving no reply but a
mumbled curse, he withdrew, but not
before he had seen the light switched
on, and the man cross to the door and
shut it. The stranger no longer
lurched about, but walked erectly and
his face had lost the sagged, vapld,
drunken look and was surprisingly
sober and keen and alert.
"The two boys decided the next day
that Addison had come to The Break
ers with the idea of robbing Mr.. Law
ton, but, as / said, nothing came of
the incident, so they kept it to them
selves and in all probability 1t had
quite passed from their minds until
the news of Mr. Lawton's death re-
called it to them"
Suraci paused, and after a moment
Blaine suggested tentatively:
"You spoke of a waiter, also, Suraci.

bell-boys had told you, Of this man
Addison's peculiar behavior
"Yes, sir. 1t isn't very important,
but II sort of confirms what the first
boy said, about the stranger trying
to watch the Lawtons, without being
noticed himself, by them. The waiter,
Tim Donohue, says that on the day
of his arrival, Addison was seated by
the head waiter at the next table to
that occupied by Mr. Lawton, and
directly facing him. Addison entered
the dining-room first, ordered a big
luncheon, and was halfway through
IL when the Lawton entered. No
sooner were they seated, than he got
up precipitately and left the room.
That night, at dinner, he refused the
table he had occupied at the first
meal, and insisted upon being seated
at one somewhere back Of Mr.. Law
ton
This Donohue is a genial, kind
hearted soul, and he was favorite
with the bell-hops because he used to
save sweets and tid-bits for them from
his trays. Johnnie and the other boy
told him of their dilemma concerning
number seventy-three, as they desig
mated Addison, and he in turn related
the incident Of the dining-room. The
