"I know this man," he said.
The inspector showed new interest.
"What, Mr.Breton ?" he asked.
"Yes.

I'm on the _Watchman_, you know, sub-editor.

I took an article from him the other day--article on 'Ideal Sites for Campers-Out.' He came to the office about it.

It's not much, but it may afford some clue to identity." Spargo picked up the scrap of grey paper and looked closely at it.
