As soon as he saw Wheeler enter his friend's chamber he stole up and locked the door on the outide. Then when he heard the thief trying to open the door he rained a shower of knocks on the panel.

"I have noticed this, that, he is very well dressed for a boy of his small salary, and seems always to have money to spend." "That will count for something. Still he might have some outide means. Have you noticed anything else?" Jasper hesitated. "I noticed one evening when he left the store that he had a sizable parcel under his arm."

"It doesn't seem to have done you much good, as I can see." "Oh, well, I am satisfied. Let me introduce my friend, Mr. Rodney Ropes of New York." "Glad to meet you," said Hector with a jerk of the head. "Rodney, won't you sit inside? I want to sit outide with Hector." "All right, Mr. Pettigrew."
