eleven o'clock
What Harwood had taken for steel seemed to him now only iron after all -- and brittle iron . During the last week of the campaign an incident occurred that shook Harwood a good deal . He had been away from the capital for several days making speeches , and finding that his itinerary would permit it , he ran into town unexpectedly one night to replenish his linen and look at his mail . An interurban car landed him in town at eleven o'clock , and he went directly to the Boordman Building . As he walked down the hall toward his office he was surprised to see a light showing on the ground-glass door of Room 66 . Though Bassett kept a room at the Whitcomb for private conferences , he occasionally used his office in the Boordman for the purpose , and seeing the rooms lighted , Dan expected to find him there . He tried the door and found it locked , and as he drew out his key he heard suddenly the click of the typewriter inside .
