"He says that he isn't quite sure but that Mrs.
Willoughby may have a touch of vertigo. At any rate, he has
consented to let me come out to-morrow with him and visit her as a
specialist in nervous diseases from New York. I had to tell him
just enough about the case to get him interested, but that will do
no harm. I think I'll set this alarm an hour ahead. I want to get
up early to-morrow, and if I shouldn't be here when you wake,
you'll find me at Trimble's."

THE CRIMEOMETER
The alarm wakened me all right, but to my surprise Kennedy had
already gone, ahead of it. I dressed hurriedly, bolted an early
breakfast, and made my way to Trimble's. He was not there, and I
had about concluded to try the laboratory, when I saw him pulling
up in a cab from which he took several packages. Donnelly had
joined us by this time, and together we rode up in the elevator to
the jewelry department. I had never seen a department-store when
it was empty, but I think I should like to shop in one under those
conditions.
