of the wall space behind The eye found nothing,
as the bed shadow somewhat obscured the cement

a raveled edge of cloth. The travelling so

some instinct led to attempt digging it out

covered section of coarse cloth, and, eagerly

enable me to obtain firm grip upon it. The

In flash; there had been dumb waiter here at

had been closed, and boarded up, while in order
that the wall should look alike cloth had been
