“Yes; I am dead sure of that. Why,” he added, “there must have been a man that I did not see. Wonder why he didn’t give me a clip on the head.”
“Someone will come here an’ steal you, some day,” grinned Jimmie.
“I don’t doubt it,” replied Frank. “Now, where do you think the other man was?” he asked, turning to Ned.
Ned arose and went into the sleeping room, from which opened a bathroom and a large closet. There was a door opening into the sleeping room from the corridor, the apartment being of the same length, east and west, as the sitting room. The closet opened from the sleeping room, and also from the bathroom.
“What do you find here?” asked Frank, following him into the closet and through into the bathroom.
“The third man might have been hiding in here,” Ned replied. “When were you in this bathroom last?” he added, looking carefully about the place.
“Not since early in the afternoon.”
“The suite was unoccupied all the afternoon?”
“Yes; I am rarely here in the afternoon.”
“What time did you come up here after dinner?”
