He could not. but that's what he had done.
He held the fash-pan on high and pulled

Detective william C. .Dannenberg, of Chi.

port.
Arriving in Beverly Hills, the astute
Mr.. Dannenberg rugged up an excuse to call
and get good look at the love bungalow
Finding time when Mr.. Camp was absent
he introduced himself as q building in

covered the room where he thought Mr..
Camp would be most surprised II was on
the first floor and cozily furnished
But there we're elements that threatened
TO prevent thorough surprise. The bunga.

the village. Several arc lights shone down
on the spacious lawns and trolley track

grass to be traversed and the illumination

But alas! Mr.. Camp had no such idea,

When the photograph that had been taken
