Taggett resolved to make it even if he had to do so under the authority of a search-warrant. But he desired as yet to avoid publicity. A secret visit to the studio seemed equally difficult by day and night. In the former case he was nearly certain to be deranged by the servants, and in the latter a light in the unoccupied room would alarm any of the household who might chance to awaken.
"It is nothing serious, of course." "I fancy not; papa is easily excited, and he had had a great deal to trouble him lately, the strike, and all that." "I wonder if Mr. Taggett has been bothering him." "I dare say Mr. Taggett has bothered him." "You knew of his being in the yard?" "Not while he was here. Papa told me yesterday. I think Mr.
Taggett was more successful. Spooner to ascend to the bedroom, where she obligingly insisted on helping him search for the apocryphal plans, and seriously interfered with his purpose, which was to find the key of the studio. While Mr.
I supposed him to be wandering in his mind." "He was expecting Durgin, though Torrini had every reason for believing that he had fled." Mr. Taggett leaned forward, and asked, "When did he go, and where?" "He was too cunning to confide his plans to Torrini.

"Taggett is a low, intriguing fellow," he had said to Justice Beemis; "Taggett is a fraud." Young Shackford's ingenuous manner now confirmed Mr. Perkins in that belief.
Taggett was scarcely the person to render much assistance." "Then he has found nothing whatever?" "Nothing important." "But anything? Trifles are of importance in a matter like this. Your father never wrote me a word about Taggett." "Mr. Taggett has made a failure of it, Richard." "If nothing new has transpired, then I do not understand the summons I received to-day."
