Jill
looked
puzzled
.
"
I
wonder
why
Ben
didn
’
t
send
me
a
statprint
at
the
same
time
?
It
isn
’
t
like
him
–
Ben
’
s
very
thoughtful
.
"
Jubal
repressed
a
groan
.
"
Use
your
head
,
Gillian
.
Just
because
a
package
says
‘
Cigarettes
’
on
the
outside
does
not
prove
that
the
package
contains
cigarettes
.
You
got
here
last
Friday
;
the
code
groups
on
that
statprint
message
show
that
it
was
filed
from
Philadelphia
-
Paoli
Station
Landing
Flat
,
to
be
exact
–
just
after
ten
thirty
the
morning
before
–
10
.
34
AM
.
Thursday
.
It
was
transmitted
a
couple
of
minutes
after
it
was
filed
and
was
received
at
once
,
because
Ben
’
s
office
has
its
own
statprinter
.
All
right
,
now
you
tell
me
why
Ben
sent
a
printed
message
to
his
own
office
–
during
working
hours
–
instead
of
telephoning
?
"
"
Why
,
I
don
’
t
think
he
would
,
ordinarily
.
At
least
I
wouldn
’
t
.
The
telephone
is
the
normal
-
"
"
But
you
aren
’
t
Ben
.
I
can
think
of
half
a
dozen
reasons
,
for
a
man
in
Ben
’
s
business
.
To
avoid
garbles
.
To
insure
a
printed
record
in
the
files
of
I
.
T
.
&
T
.
for
legal
purposes
.
To
send
a
delayed
message
.
All
sorts
of
reasons
.
Kilgallen
saw
nothing
odd
about
it
–
and
the
simple
fact
that
Ben
,
or
the
syndicate
he
sells
to
,
goes
to
the
expense
of
maintaining
a
private
statprinter
in
his
office
shows
that
Ben
uses
it
regularly
.
"
However
,
"
Jubal
went
on
,
"
the
snoops
I
hired
are
a
suspicious
lot
;
that
message
placed
Ben
at
Paoli
flat
at
ten
thirty
-
four
on
Thursday
–
so
one
of
them
went
there
.
Jill
,
that
message
was
not
sent
from
there
.
"
"
But
-
"
"
One
moment
.
The
message
was
filed
from
there
but
did
not
originate
there
.
Messages
are
either
handed
over
the
counter
or
telephoned
.
If
one
is
handed
over
the
counter
,
the
customer
can
have
it
typed
or
he
can
ask
for
facsimile
transmission
of
his
handwriting
and
signature
?
but
if
it
is
filed
by
telephone
,
it
has
to
be
typed
by
the
filing
office
before
it
can
be
photographed
.
"
"
Yes
,
of
course
.
"
"
Doesn
’
t
that
suggest
anything
,
Jill
?
"
"
Uh
?
Jubal
,
I
’
m
so
worried
that
I
’
m
not
thinking
straight
.
What
should
it
suggest
?
