It included nearly every one mentioned in the case. Riley studied it dubiously and scratched his chin thoughtfully. "That's a hard one, Mr. Kennedy, sir. You see, it means getting into so many different houses and apartments. Now you don't want to do it by means of a warrant, do you, sir? Of course not. Well, then, how can we get in?"

"No, this is a private detective. He can do things for you which we cannot. Have you ever heard of Saul Arthur Mann? I see you haven't. Saul Arthur Mann," said the commissioner, "has been a good friend of ours, and possibly in recommending him to you I may be a good friend to both of you. He is 'The Man Who Knows." "'The Man Who Knows," repeated Mr. Minute dubiously. "What does he know?"

A smart maid answered that ring and looked dubiously at Ayscough as he proffered a request to see Mr. Mori Yada. Yes Mr. Yada was at home, but he didn't like to see any one, of an evening when he was at his studies, and in fact he'd given orders not to be disturbed at that time.

"Because Pierre Philibert and La Corne St. Luc have been with the King's warrant and searched the chateau from crypt to attic, without finding a trace of your rival."

One or two had apparently fallen over, or been washed away by a flood, for there were several rather wide gaps between them, through which the stream frothed whitely.

"Guess you didn't know the man there on the back porch?" said the Major. "No; why?" I asked dubiously. "I hardly thought you would, and besides the poor fellow's tired, and it was best not to disturb him," said the Major. "Why; who was it some one I know?" "It was Tommy."
