As the crowd about the door parted before the sudden appearing of these, the Spanish captain, perceiving, as he supposed, a way of escape opened to him, darted across the street with incredible swiftness towards an alleyway upon the other side.

He was rewarded with food in the alleyway H, beside door 15 (figure 17), only when he chose correctly on first attempt.

On April 30 the reward of food was given only when the first choice was that of the right box and in that event it was placed in the alleyway H as stated above.

As he turned into the brilliantly lighted street from the somber alleyway of the stage entrance, he paused for a moment to glance at his own name, in three-foot letters of red, before the doors of the theater.

" The proprietor shook his head and, rather reluctantly, went on to explain that Number Seven was different from the other private rooms in this, that it had a separate exit with separate stairs leading to an alleyway between the hotel and a wall surrounding it.

The alleyway led to a gate in the wall opening on the Rue Marboeuf, so a particularly discreet couple, let us say, could drive up to this gate, pass through the alleyway, and then, by the private stairs, enter Number Seven without being seen by anyone, assuming, of course, that they had a key to the alleyway door.

He had a key to the alleyway door, didn't he?"

"I have a pass key to the alleyway door.

" "Make haste, then," and they started briskly through the halls, the proprietor assuring M. Paul that only a single key was ever given out for the alleyway door and this to none but trusted clients, who returned it the same night.

"Only a single key to the alleyway door," reflected, Coquenil.

"This is what you call the alleyway?" questioned Coquenil.

How far along the alleyway did you look?" "As far as that back wall.

Ah, yes," he cried, going quickly to this back wall where the alleyway turned to the right along the rear of the hotel.

"He has brought us to the alleyway door.

" The alleyway door stood open and, using his lantern with the utmost care, Coquenil went first, mounting the stairs slowly, followed by Gritz.

" "You didn't change your boots after leaving the Ansonia?" "No." "Kittredge," said the judge severely, "the man who shot Martinez escaped by the alleyway and left his footprints on the soft earth.

It's the third pair of boots that made those alleyway footprints!" "Then you think" began the judge.

He had made no experiments with Caesar since the night of the crime, when the dog had taken the scent of the pistol and found the alleyway footprints.

They were stolen when the pistol was stolen, and the murderer tried to return them so that they might be discovered in Kittredge's room and found to match the alleyway footprints and damn Kittredge.

" "I don't know who Kittredge is, and I don't know what alleyway you refer to," put in Groener.

"Do you remember what I told you about those alleyway footprints?

"Yes." "And the key to the alleyway door?" "I got a duplicate keythrough Dubois.

And before the boy fairly understood the question, the other shoved a gold watch and chain into his hands, then darted into an alleyway and disappeared.
