"What is it ?" The messenger came up to the desk.
"Mr.Spargo," he said, "there's a man downstairs who says that he wants to see somebody about that murder case that's in the paper this morning, sir.

Mr.Barrett said I was to come to you." "Who is the man ?" asked Spargo.
"Won't say, sir," replied the boy.

"I gave him a form to fill up, but he said he wouldn't write anything--said all he wanted was to see the man who wrote the piece in the paper." "Bring him here," commanded Spargo.

He turned to Breton when the boy had gone, and he smiled.

"I knew we should have somebody here sooner or later," he said.
