I expect that shortly after this gets into the proper hands Sautee will be in jail, and he will be handy to tell you this is all O. K. Mannix took up the reward notice, put it with the note, and jammed the two pieces of paper into an obscure pigeonhole in his desk. "Filed!" he said aloud.
"Last mail in, Mis' Bascomb?" "Last mail's in, Tony." "Be there anything for me to-night?" Widow Bascomb knew perfectly well there was not, but she reached for a small pile of letters in a pigeonhole on her right and glanced over them rapidly. Her sour visage and rasping voice softened perceptibly as she smiled on the little old man before her. "Sorry, Tony, there's nothing for you to-night."
He reached in his hand to the pigeonhole, drew out the envelope and with a sudden, wild cry, reeled to his feet. "My God!" he screamed out. "What's what's this!" Clarie Deane snatched the envelope from him. He ripped the envelope open frantically and like a man stunned gazed at the four blank sheets, while the colour left his face. "IT'S GONE!" he cried out hoarsely. "Gone!"
The envelope shot back into the pigeonhole from which he had taken it the inner door of the safe closed silently and swiftly. A dry chuckle came from Jimmie Dale's lips.

Mr. Latham nodded as he entered, and took the box from the pigeonhole. "Here's something I'd like you to look at," he remarked. Mr.
From time to time he was to be seen stooping and inspecting the earth with the gravity of an earnest, efficient, sober-sided sleuth of the old school. Blensop was busy before the safe, extracting the contents of each pigeonhole in turn, thumbing its dockets of papers, checking each off upon a typewritten list several pages in length.
As she passed the Post Office for the second time it occurred to her that there might be letters for her there, and found quite a bundle of them in a little pigeonhole high up. There was also a cablegram that had been waiting two days. She opened that first. It was extravagantly long; the name "Carlossie" at the head of it gave her a sickening pang of homesickness for a moment.
Sam immediately stepped back to the telegraph desk and sent another wire to his brother: "Express fresh box maraschino chocolates to Miss Josephine Stevens Hollis Creek Inn enclose my card personal cards in upper right-hand pigeonhole my desk." Then he went up-stairs to get ready for lunch.
