"What do you mean by ‘queer?’ ” "Crooked, maybe!" Halloran spat opiously, unaware that the enquirer’s unds had clenched at his reply. “All know myself !s that she came to me • raight from Giovanni's over there here we watched you pull off tha' • etty little raid on his game just it' -and wanted to hire a fast car and a spert driver to take her to New ork.

and only wanted to shorten the trip it was no business of mine. The ntegnac's just been gone over —reupholstered, painted and the engine over hauled —and she ran like a breeze, so in less than two hours we were half way to New York. It was then that the young lady—and I could swear from her speech and manner that she was a lady—leaned forward and touched my shoulder. I slowed down and she asked me what uarge cities were right near New York. I took her for a stranger, of course, but she bluffed me. all right, I guess. Anyhow, I told her Orkney City was the nearest with Oldham just this side of It. She chose Oldham and told me to let her out at the principal street corner there. I did. and there was a feller waiting for her.” "A—fellow” Mike repeated stupidly. His throat went suddenly dry and his temples throbbed. “Looked like a city detective to me,” commented Frank. "Bang-up clothes but flashy and his hair plas tered down like a movie guy. He came up lifting his hat just a.s she was getting out and called her by a name I didn’t catch. I thought she going to faint at first but she •c <ogether and said: ‘You are mistaken. T am Miss Hosmer.' . \ uI'NG LA.iV GAVE ME A TEN DOLLAR TIP. He gave me a slant-eyed look and says quick: ‘Sure you are. That's what I said. Your aunt is waiting for you a: this address. She’s lieen worrying i*out you but 1 see you're all right.'" "Her —aunt!” Mike repeated again is though in a daze. "Yeah, and when the feller said he iw she was all right' the young Ady backed up on to the step of the running board again and 1 thought it was time for me to butt in. I says to her: ‘lf you like I'll take you to that address, miss, if it isn't any fur ti.er than New York. It's already paid for, you know.’ She looked sort of undecided but tie feller spoke up. ’That’s all right, chauffeur. I’m a confidential clerk in the employ of this young lady's uncle and if she told you to drop her here she knows her own business best T hope you’ll hurry, miss; your aunt’s anxious.’ He lifted his hat again and walked off fast up Martin St., the wiy we’d come, and the young lady Ftepped down again, gave me a $lO tip and started off down Brook St. It was t<s the junction of Martin and Brook that I’d brought her. I thought It was pretty funny but I turned back up Martin St. on my return trip I didn’t see that feller anywhere and on a hunch I circled the block to Brook again Just to see if anything was doing and there on the comer of Brook and Railroad Ave. he and the young lady was talking together as pleasantly and friendly as if they’d known each other all their lives.” “Is that all?” Mike had regained command of himself and h!s tone ex pressed amused contempt at his informant's interest. "No, it ain't!” the latter retorted

“All the way from here she was soared to death —at the pace I was hitting up, I guess—and yet urged me on faster, and see how smart she was getting me to name Oldham myself, well knowing that the only busy corner in the whole town wa Martin and Brook! Then she pretened not to know the feller and to be scared or uncertain when he wrote her aunt's address on that card and handed it to her. She just crumpled It up in her hand without looking at it, so I didn’t get a sight of it. either, ;ilthough I was trying tc ’ “If you were so suspicious of them," Mike's tone was bland, "why didn t you hang around a little longer and see where they went?" “I did better than that!’’ declared Frank. “I parked the car amongst the other across at the railroad station the lietter to watch them, but they separated in a few minute®, she going into the side entrance of that department store that fronts on Brock and him back up Railroad Ave. I follored him into a drug store and when 1 he w-ent into a telehone booth I took the next, but when I found I couldn’t make out a word be was saying I beat it back, to that department store. I had a hunch I’d better Keep my eye on the main entrance around on- Brook. Gee! I waited there more’n three hours, strolling back and forth to the corner of Railroad Ave.. but I didn t see anything more of that slick-looking guy." He' paused for breath, but Mike with a quick glance at Lieutenant Trevor, who was hovering near, demanded eagerly: “The girl. Hallo ran! Had you lost her. too?” “Wait till I tell you! I was still hanging around the entrance to that department store at about three in the afternoon when a woman came out of the hairdressing place next door and started past me toward the station. She had on a blue serge suit and a little blue hat and carried a big tan bag. I saw she had black hair and was turning away but something made me take another look and It was the same girl! I’d swear it anywhere!” Mike uttered a sharp exclamation. “Did she see you?” “Nope. She was looking around pretty hard, but I guess it was for that feller. There was a train for New York just pulling in and she almost ran to catch It, with me after her. I got out on the platform In time to c eo her climb aboard just as it sfa*---’ ■■•t’s nil I snooped

around a little longer to see if thjat guy would show up, but he didn't, so I drove on home. Say, is there any reward in this?” “If there is, Halloran, I’ll see that you get your share of it, for you’ve done good work, but none's been o(fared as yet. Come on now. Lieutenant. Sorry to have kept you waiting so long.” For a while they drove on in silence through the night for Mike was wrapped up in his problem and his companion, too, seemed lost in

moody thought. It was the latter, though, who finally broke the silence between them. “I couldn't help overhearing some of that talk, Mike. Are you out after some lady crook—?” “I’m after my girl!” Mike exploded. “We had a pretty bad quarrel last Monday night and early the next morning she was out in her back yard—she lives alongside the tracks — when the Gotham Arrow was wrecked and the cars crashed through the fence and caught fire.

girl was identified as hers, burned beyond sure recognition, and I’ve reason to believe she took advantage of the excitement to run away.” “You think she was the girl that garage man talked about?” Trevor spoke with sympathetic interest, but there was a note almost of pain in his tones. “I do and I think he was talking through his hat!” Mike exclaimed. “Bailie hasn’t got any aunt and she never went to Oldham to —to meet another man I’d stake my life on it.

A lovers’ quarrel is easily made up, and you’ll rfUdely find her, for It’s part of your business to trace people, and you’ve bad tho best -raining In the world for It.

“What?” Mike started Violently. “You don’t mean—!’’ “Oh, ahe’s alive: I saw her this morning.” There was a pause and then Trevor accelerated their pace a trifle and spoke impulsively above the steady drone of the motor. “We used to be pretty close to each other in the old days, Mike, and I'd like to tell you about it; I don’t think I’d speak of it to another living soul.” “I’d be glad to hear, Lieutenant—!” *he other began warmly, but Trevor interrupted him.
