CHAPTER VIlI.-continued.

Orme followed, and when Maku
turned west again at the next street,
swung rapidly after him and around
the corner with the full expectation
of seeing him hurrying along half
block away. But no one was in sight.
Had he slipped into one of the near
by buildings?
While Orme was puzzling, a voice
at his elbow said, "Hello!"
He turned with start. Flattened
IN a Swallowed niche of the wall be-

"Hello!" the Japanese said again.

trying to make the best of the situa-

japanese spoke impressively.

Il saw you in a mirror at the other
end of car"
So that was It! Orme remembered

Goodnight"
Disappointed, bafiled. he turnedeast-

back toward the car line. He die not
look to see whether Maku was be-

He had missed his second opportunity
since the other japanese escaped him
in the university campus.
Crossing Clark street block mrth
of the point at which he and Ahku
had left the car. he continued like

short distance from the Pere Mar
Quette. and a few minutes later, alter

four hours of sleep.
But there was final question:
Should he return TO the all-night rs
taurant near the car barns and tryto
learn from the cashier the address
which Maku had sought? Surely SIC
would have forgotten the name w
