has strongly fortified. Miss Verp-
ey accepts a position as private
secretary to Mr. Granger and', her
friend {Freckles.) Tom Scott, is
staying with Hugh. John, ap; old
friend of Hugh, has the plans of
Temple Tower but someone stole
them out of his room, Freckles
receives a letter from (Miss Vern-
ey and before they go home Gran
ger opens the panel in the gate
and while talking to them he sees
a figure all in black watching him
and is greatly alarmed, Later
they go -back .to Temple Tower,
again and a car pulls up with the
boarder from Spragge’s Farm who
hauls out a rope ladder and hides
it in the bushes. At night Hugh
and his three friends follow him,, • climbing over the wall on the lad

There they find the big dog pois
