"They are not looking for other clues and yet the man who killed poor old man McBride may be somewhere in Mount Hope at this very minute!" "Until I am proved innocent, I suppose they see nothing to do," said North. "But, John, you are not afraid of the outcome?" And she rested a hand on his arm.
In the vast expanse which the work covered, it seemed a very small thing, but the greatest underground temples for the tombs are veritable temples of Egypt, and some of the most wonderful of her monuments, have been discovered by far fainter clues. The little staircase, about twenty feet below the surface of the sand, was enough to fill the young Englishman's heart with hope.
"Picked up any clues yet?" asked the other carelessly, yet always with that hint of a sneer; and innocently Flatray answered, "They seem to be right seldom." "Didn't know but you'd happened on the fellow's trail." "I guess I'm as much at sea as you are," was the equivocal answer. Lee came over from the stable, still wearing spurs and gauntlets.
You've two good clues the fact that he visited the Fragonard Club and that particular tobacconist's shop. Urge Swallow to do his best the man must be kept in sight. See to both these things immediately." "Swallow is at work already," replied Gilling. "He's got good help, too, and his failure yesterday has put him on his mettle.

In this event, there could be but one starting point the murder of the valet. Yet his painstaking examination of the scene of the murder had shown an utter absence of any clues.

And this was the situation when the boy, following clues secured at the nipa hut and hints obtained from Pat, who had kept his ears open during his captivity, and from French, had sailed away for Japan with his chums on a steamer which was leaving Manila for Yokohama.
Now, let's see if we can pick up any other clues. This is like old times!" and Ned laughed, for he, like Tom, enjoyed a good "fight," and one in which the odds were against them. "We sure will have our hands full," declared the young inventor. "Trying to solve the problem of carrying guns on an aerial warship, and finding out who set this fire."

The thieves seemed to have scattered clues in every direction, yet not one of them led to any definite result. Like the rest of us, Christopher Quarles had his weaknesses.
It was as if he had entered into his life in the world as into some vast labyrinth, wandering on aimlessly, flinging from him one by one the threads, the clues, that might have led him again to a safe exit, going down deeper and deeper until, when near the centre, he had suddenly felt the presence of the brute, had heard its loathsome muttering growl, had at last seen it far down at the end of a passage, dimly and in a dark shadow; terrified, he had started back, looking wildly about for any avenue of escape, searching with frantic haste and eagerness for any one of those clues he had so carelessly cast from him, realizing that without such guidance he would inevitably tend down again to that fatal central place where the brute had its lair.
