No one is more rejoiced at dear Luke's vindication." "Miss Sprague," said she, "if you think you did your duty, let the consciousness of that sustain you.

On a sudden impulse the detective parked his car in front of the hotel and five minutes later was knocking upon Sprague's door. "Well, what do you want now?" the unshaven, pallid man demanded ungraciously. Dundee stepped into the room and closed the door.
