But I'm sure we're on the track of the men who damaged my airship, as well as those who know something of the mystery of Mr. Nestor." "I agree with you," said Jackson. "Of course there's a possibility that the same peculiar metal you used in your silencer case may have been used in some other machine shop, and these files may have come from there, and have been employed in perfectly regular work.

"Judge Marshall, how many keys are there to the cupboard drawer in which your gun and silencer were kept?" "Just one. I have it with me," the old man answered wearily. "Then when Hinson, your butler, looked for them, he found the drawer unlocked?" "He did. I confess to almost criminal negligence "

I'm sorry, Harper," he said hastily, cutting into the reporter's questions. "Nothing new! You may say that the police have thrown out a dragnet " and he grinned at the trite phrase " for the gunman who killed Mrs. Selim, and will offer a reward for the recovery of the weapon a Colt's .32 equipped with a Maxim silencer....

Tom had put the silencer on a larger machine than the one he and Jackson had used.

We can guess that he stowed gun, silencer and electro-magnet in a pocket of his car. At any rate, he came back noisily enough a little later, to offer Lydia a job as nurse in his home. Doubtless he assured himself that she knew nothing, or poor Lydia would have gone the way of her mistress and Sprague." "Was Sprague ?" Strawn began.

And, oh, yes, they've picked up a young girl at the Turner woman's place. And we've got one real clue for once!" The speaker's expression was suddenly triumphant. He opened a drawer of the desk, and took out Garson's pistol, to which the silencer was still attached. "You never saw a gun like that before, eh?" he exclaimed. Demarest admitted the fact after a curious examination.
