MR. HEREFORD MEETS FARREN OF THE POLICE
"The duplicate box!" Hereford read the note left for him by his man upon his dressing table when he returned; for after twelve his man need not wait up. "The duplicate box! What the devil does he mean by that? But that is all he said." For Hereford's man had taken the precaution to leave that notation with the message. It was of no use, therefore, to wake up his man, and Max Schimmel had not left him a telephone number for his new address.
So he put the whole matter out of his thoughts. In the morning he would see Max, if it seemed worth while.
