With a wry face the clerk retired.
Kent opened the door, and his friend
squeezed through into a bare room.
The walls were hung and the floor
was carpeted with white sheets. There
was no furniture of any kind, unless a
narrow mattress in one corner could
be so reckoned. Beside the mattress
lay small pad and pencil. Only On
the visitors subconscious self did
these peculiarities impress themselves,

That's right. Well, I'm with you,

Locking his curious room after
him, Kent led the way to the hotel
lobby, where he stopped only long
enough to send some kilograms. The
sun was still few minutes short of
its setting when he and his companion
emerged from the hotel. Kent at
once broke into trot.

negligent, pricked up his ears and ex-
hibited unmistakable signs of human
interest when he heard the name; for
the suspicion attaching to the artist
had spread swiftly. 20 Moreover. the
caller was in a state, Of hardly re-

Isn't he about the hotel?"
The clerk hesitated. 81 ought not

orders not to be disturbed; but he's
in his special room. Is it anything
evry important? Any new evidence,
or something of that sort?"
"That is what want Mr.. Kent to
decide"
I'm that case might take the re-
sponsibility. But think had better

After the elevator had carried them
to the top of its run, they mounted q
flight of stairs, and walked to a far
corner of the building.

took it," explained the clerk as they
walked. Turned all the furniture

Having reached the door, he dis

ing savagery from within was his re-
ward.

clerk. Raising his voice he called,

Charley Smith allowed four hits in
the final four innings of the affray.
Mike Heckinger stopped his slants.
The lone Chattanooga tally came
in the sixth on walk, wild peg
and a single.
The Cubs had no trouble solving
the slants of young pitcher named
Starke. In the third and fifth innings
six hits netted quartet of runs.
Pierce scored the first Cub run.
In the eighth inning spitball ar

on the slab and was touched for two
hits, which, with wild pitch, gave
the Cubs the final tally of the game.
Ware is minus the first joint of the

leaguers.
Of the Cubs nine hits, Mitchell and
Safer got two apiece and Clymer,

Veteran White had twirled five in

Sox' favor, and Acting Manager Lord

was short liveds however. The Angels
nicked him for hits and three runs
in two and two-thirds innings.
Frank LANCE was picked as res

swatters managed to slip two runs
