<h2> XXI. A CHANGE </h2>
<p>"It's all up. I'm beaten on my own ground." Thus confessed Sweetwater, in
great dejection, to himself. "But I'm going to take advantage of the
permission he's just given me and continue the listening act. Just because
he told me to and just because he thinks I won't. I'm sure it's no worse
than to spend hours of restless tossing in bed, trying to sleep."</p>
<p>But our young detective did neither.</p>
<p>As he was putting his supper dishes away, a messenger boy knocked at his
door and handed him a note. It was from Mr. Gryce and ran thus:</p>
<p>"Steal off, if you can, and as soon as you can, and meet me in
Twenty-ninth Street. A discovery has been made which alters the whole
situation."</p>
