door Immediately beneath the switch on the
wall Suddenly he bent down and picked up
,omethinx that had attracted his attention. It
wss . piece Of stin wire, bent into . ring about
an inch in diameter.
Nov what in the dickens Is that?" he NUT
tered to himself. He turned It over in his
fingers. then eyed the switch speculatively.
Reaching up he attempted to slip the loop OF
wire over the handle Of the switch. It went
over eaaly.
Ted uttered IN excited exclamation. An idea
vss forming IN his mind. He pulled the loop
Of wire OF the switch handle and hurried
over to Joe.
zoe, I found this ON the noor under The
switch. Il it anything Of yours?"
The janitor took the wire in his grimy fingers
and studied 1t through his strong glasses.
That amt nothing that belongs around
here" he said finally. "Just an old piece o(
wire, anyway"
Maybe" said Ted crisply. But have an
idea that little piece Of wire may be the clue
to the mystery Of those lights"
He glanced ct his watch. He should nave
been hack at the Sweet Shop. helping take
care oe the after game trade, long before this.
He spoke earnestly to Joe.
Listen" he said. I'm going to leave this
On the door, right where found it. and don't
you touch It. And when you 60 tonight. leave
the outside door open for me. I'm coming back
investigating. viii you do that, Joe?"
The old man nodded. ITS al right you
say 20, Ted" he agreed But be sure to lock
the door when you 60 out"
TED gave his promise, then carefully replaced
! the wire ring On the door. A moment later
he was hurrying toward the Sweet Shop.
The game and the other exciting events of
the evening were almost the sole topic Of con-
versation among the people who crowded the
booths and tables Of the Sweet Shop Ted
served . seemingly endless parade Of sundaes
and beverages, but he took orders and filled
them almost automatically. His mind was
back in the furnace room Of the gymnasium.
mulling over the problem Of those lights and
that piece Of wire.
It was almost midnight when he left the
Sweet Shop and hurried back to the gym
nasium, now completely dark and forbidding.
He found the basement door open and made
his way inside by means Of . nashlight which
he had picked up in the store. He entered
the furnace room and turned the rays Of light
ON the floor beneath the switch. The little
loop Of wire was gone.

Of the question. Joe had been janitor here
for years. Nobody could be more loyal to North

his whistle at the first faint sign Of conflict.
As . result, the game was slow and uninspired.

rise to the occasion, and his pretty playing
