There was no railing in front of the ,
house. It may have seemed on un

owner. Consequently, the small door
in the turret opened directly upou the
street, making entrance and exit easy
enough for any one who bad the key.

Hut he was nut on tlie watch fur my

during my absence which absorbed his

A Western I'ulon envelope lay at his

a second thought, such a man being
naturally the recipient of all sorts of

This was evident from the gripsack he
