fifth letter, as announced on the
list of dates. Tush We have
plenty Of time, as there have been
only three letters and the fourth

Monster lie Prefet," said
Weber, producing the third sheet,
"would you mind looking at these
lines drawn in pencil and enclosed
in a large square containing some
other smaller squares and rect
angles of all sizes7 Wouldn't you

yes, | should"
1T is the plan of the house in
which we are" declared Weber
solemnly. Here you see the
front courtyard, the main build
ing, the porter's lodge, and, over
there, Mile. Levasseur's lodge.
From this lodge, a dotted line, in
red pencil, starts zigzagging to-
ward the main building. The
commencement of this line is
marked by a little red cross
which stands for the room in
which we are, or, to be more cor
rect, the alcove. You will see here
something like the design of a
chimney, or, rather. a cupboard
a cupboard recessed behind the
bed and probably hidden by the
curtains
but, in that ease. Weber,
said Desmalions, this dotted line
must represent a passage leading
from this lodge to the main build
ing. Look, there is also a little
red cross at the other end OF the
line
aYes, Monsieur lie Prefet, there
lis another cross. We shall dis
cover later for certain what posi-
ton it marks. But, meanwhile
and acting on q mere guess, I hav'
posted some men In q small room
on the seasnH floor where the las
