We had Reynolds up, and he made a most careful examination of that bow for finger-prints. He did not find any. But fortune favored us in another way almost as good." "Now you interest me." "We had brought the bow into the Curator's office, and it lay on the long table in the middle of the room.
It was brought up from the cellar a fortnight or more before it was used, and placed on end in the Curator's office, where it was seen more than once by the woman who wipes up the floors.
