At my side in the stationery store

turned to the letter "C. ” Then to Car-

"Is Mr. Carter In?"
The pert youth who answered my
ring slowly put a book mark in a dime

was "Headless Hammer; or. What
Happened to Smith.”
"°n Hie job," he said. "Who is it
wiints ter see the great detective?"
I was about to hand the boy a card
when I remembered that I must live
up to the traditions of detective Mtera-
ture.
“Tell Nick Carter," I exclaimed,
that a stranger wishes to see him
on important business.”

tone. "Silence, roller me. See’’"
