he found hidden apartment, Of which
not even John Chamales, new owner of
the building, knew. Carefully Frank
Wilder, the carpenter, entered through
the hole he had made in the wall.
He found complete set of rooms
running from the front to the rear of
the building. The walls and ceiling
were unfinished. There were no win
dows and no visible means Of exit.
There was a small table in one corner
with few dishes on it and an old cop
per lamp. Rust covered, but with a
frying pan Of ancient days still on it,
there was stove. Some straw in a
corner seemed to indicate where the
mysterious occupant of the mystery
chamber had slept.
A piece of wire between two walls
served as hanger for an old coat.
