Was my aged great-uncle in hiding
somewhere, playing malevolent pranks
on us? How had that note gotten in
to my own apartment? Nobody had
access to the place but myseIf-yes,
and Mrs. Burke, my great-aunt's trust
ed old laundress. determined to re-
turn to the apartment and lie in wait
for her until she came in to do up
my room. In the week that / had
lived there / had not even laid eyes on
her, although each evening when I
came in found my bed neatly made.
While awaited her arrival busted
myself with studying anew the differ
ent rooms in the apartment, hoping
ever to find some new clue to the
methods by which the anonymous
notes had been delivered. l went to
the back of the house and looked out
of the rear windows. An ornamental
ledge of stone, perhaps eighteen inches
wide ran along apparently on the level
OF the flooring. Any agile person
might easily have crept along it if
they dared risk falling six stories to
the ground, but there was no means Of
access to it save from either my bed
room or the sitting room or from the
corresponding rooms in the Bradford
apartment. Certainly no one from my
apartment had been Tipping mysteri-
GUS notes into the other apartment.
Could the converse be true? Was
there some unbalanced person in the
Bradford family who was doing it?
Could it be one of the servants, or
possibly Claire Bradford? She always
had been Eighty, according to her sis
| ters description. Had her troubles
unbalanced her to such an extent that
she was playing mysterious hysterical
pranks on all of us?
] sat down at my uncle's desk. The
pigeonholes crammed full of papers
caught my eye. Under ordinary cir
cumstances I would have hesitated to
examine them, but now l felt no
scruples. Old Rufus had warned me
that there was some mystery about
the place. The pearls had strangely
disappeared, faced the accusation
of having stolen chem. Surely / was
entitled to examine anything and ey-
erything in my efforts at solving the
mystery.
Pigeonhole after pigeonhole I exam
ined without result until at last came
to little leather-covered diary. I
read 1t with interest, noting that IL
was for the present year and that the
last entry had been made only the day
before he had departed for Maine.
