II is evidently an empty flat to which
the confederate has access. Well, Mrs.
Warren, what now?
Il have it all ready for you. If you
will both come up and leave your
boots below on the landing, III put
you there now"
1t was an excellent hiding place
which she had arranged. The mirror
was so placed that, seated in the dark,
we could very plainly see the door OPP
posite. We had hardly settled down
in it, and Mrs. Warren left US, when
a distant tinkle announced that u
mysterious neighbor had rung. Pres
emily the landlady appeared with the
, tray, laid it down upon a chair beside
the closed door, and then, treading
heavily, departed. Crouching to-
gether in the angle of the door, we
kept our eyes fixed upon the mirror.
/ Suddenly, as the landlady's footsteps
died away there was the creak of a
turning key, the handle revolved and
two thin hands darted out and lifted
the tray from the chair. An instant
later it was hurriedly replaced and l
caught a glimpse of a dark, beautiful
Mortified face glazing at the narrow
opening of the box-room. Then the
door crashed to, the key turned once
more, and all was silence. Holmes
twitched my sleeve, and together we
stole down the stair.

"She saw us"
We'll, she saw something to alarm
her. That is certain. The general Sc

The measure of that danger is the
