"I wish to see Jerry, the Night Hawk," explained the youngster.
"What do you want with him?"
"I have a letter for him."
"Give it to me."
"No, sir, for I have orders from my boss to give it only to Jerry."
"All right, you can go up and see him, top floor, right hand side front room," was the reply, and as the man spoke the other door closed behind the boy, the one in his front opened, and he found he was in a hallway, into which no doors opened, except the one through which he had passed, and in the rear was only a pair of stairs occupying the entire width of the narrow passageway.
A dim light came from above somewhere, and the messenger ascended the stairs to the second floor, where he saw doors upon either side.
Ascending to the third floor, he sought the door to which he had been directed, and knocked.
No answer came, and he waited a while and again knocked.
Still no answer, and then his eyes fell upon a small knob, which he pulled and found to be a bell.
