thinking over the problem she had as
sumed.
How was she to get at the inside truth
Of what was going on across the hall?
That was the first question.
In her perplexity, she rose and looked
out of the window at the now tightening
gray of the courtyard. There dangled
the LeMar telephone wire, only q few
feet from her own window.
Suddenly an idea flashed over her. In
her leisure she had read much and
thought more. She recalled having heard
Of a machine that Just fitted her needs.
As soon as she was likely to find places
of business open Constance started out
on her search. It was early in the fore
noon before she returned, successful The
machine which she had had in mind
proved to be an oak box, perhaps eight
cen inches long. by half the width, and
foot deep. On its face it bore a little
dial Inside there appeared a fine wire
on a spool, which unwouDd gradually by
clockwork, and, after passing through
peculiar small arrangement, was wound
up on another spool. Flexible silS-cOv-
/ cred copper wires led from the box.
Carefully Constance reached across the
dizzy intervening space, and drew in the
slack LeMar telephone wires. With every
! care she cut into them as If she were
making an extension, and attached the
wires from the box.
Perhaps half an hour later the door
! buZzer sounded. Constance could scarce
ly restrain her surprise as Mrs. Lansing

Perhaps half an hour later she heard
Mrs. Noble enter. AS Constance followed
her in, the effusive greeting of Bella Le-

nothing. quick glance at HaIsey
