My only clew to the owner of the blue-winged hat had failed me, and all that was left to me was to patrol the Avenue day after day, forever hoping and forever being disappointed. June came. The five-room flat was still unrented.
My beloved garret remains unrented, and I will there take sly pleasure in seeing for myself how much respect is paid to my memory I very much enjoy the novel idea of assisting at my own absence.
On the same side of the street, only a door below them, was an unrented cottage. One of the windows of this cottage, upstairs, was open, though closed blinds concealed the fact. Between these blinds peered two young men. That cottage was the property of Mr. Dodge, vice-president of one of Gridley's banks.
Now, as I still desire to become the principal tenant of this house, the letting of which must be a care and a disappointment to mademoiselle, for I saw as I came along that the shops were still unrented, I think that this lease to me, if you will make it, might be reckoned in to my share of the profits. You see, monsieur, that the object of my visit has nothing to do with the newspaper."
Even if the locks of unrented boxes are blanks, set by the first insertion of the key chosen at random, he can still do the same thing. And even if it takes two to get at the idle keys, himself and another trusted employe, he can get at them, if he is clever, without the other officer knowing it, though it may be done almost before his eyes.

It at once became probable that what we may call the nullifying impulses radiated in all directions through the ether from their sending instrument. "Next I called upon the janitor of the Atlas Building, representing myself as looking for a suitable office from which to conduct my investigations. In this manner I gained admission to all unrented offices. All were empty.
There was no one else in the place but the bartender, and as the man went out again Jurgis and Duane followed him; he went round the corner, and in a dark place made by a combination of the elevated railroad and an unrented building, Jurgis leaped forward and shoved a revolver under his nose, while Duane, with his hat pulled over his eyes, went through the man's pockets with lightning fingers.
"Then I will go up and see her. Thanks very much for your information, Madame." "You're very welcome, Monsieur. Ah, this wretched business isn't going to help the house. I still have two apartments unrented." Juve did not wait to hear the good woman's lamentations but hurriedly climbed the flights of stairs and knocked on the door indicated. It was opened by a young girl.
"Yes, monsieur, let me be your neighbor; for, I assure you, Barbet is not a man to allow the rooms to be long unrented, and you might have far worse neighbors than I. I do not ask you to believe in me, only to let me be useful to you."
