Four Wooden Stakes
by

Victor Roman
There it lay on the desk in front of me, that missive so simple in wording, yet so perplexing, so urgent in
tone.

Jack, Come at once for old time's sake. Am all alone. Will explain upon arrival. Remson.

Having spent the past three weeks in bringing to a successful termination a case that had puzzled the
police and two of the best detective agencies in the city, I decide that I was entitled to a rest, so I
ordered two suitcases packed and went in search of a timetable. It was several years since I had seen
Remson Holroyd; in fact I had not seen him since we had matriculated from college together. I was
curious to know how he was getting along, to say nothing of the little diversion he promised me in the
way of a mystery.
