Alec Humbert and 81 Hoover were
holding consultation. Presently ST

The doctor did not like to do 1T.
He could not get it, he said. for he
was crippled, and could not walk very
well. He did not care 80 much about
the reward. 1t would be the favor
that he would be doing for Chenille.
He would try. however, to locate it.
81 Hoover was then ordered to the
platform, and the doctor went through
the same maneuvers. 1t appeared tc
! him that there was sort of valley
around Glenville somewhere that was
rather remote 1t could not be
reached by road. He could see

crystal and stared at the audience.
He had never been round that part OF

light, so Hoover and two others
started horseback for the valley.
Everybody looked at the doctor,
marveling. This he Immediately took
advantage of by selling an immense
quantity of medicine.
There was no use for the doctor
to stay up any longer 1t was grow
ing late, he said, and, being extremely
tired, he would go to the hotel and
retire.
Long before the doctor was up in
the morning, 1t was voiced all about
Chenille that he was the greatest
wonder that they had ever seen. 81
Hoover and his party had returned at
two o'clock with his horse. 1t WAS ex-
actly where the doctor said.
They were again standing around
in small groups, discussing the super
human powers of the doctor. 81 was
at the hotel, waiting, his SIS in his
pocket. One thing he had forgotten.
Why did he not find out who did it?
This he would do
1t was late when the doctor rose.
He said he was sick. His head hurt
him. He guessed he would leave on
the noon train. He was glad to hear
that his reading had been correct.
81 Hoover and Alec Humbert were
the ones who had been appointed to
interview him. He did not care much
about the SIS. 1t was more Of a
favor Perhaps, he said, he would not
feel like working at his business
again for several days.
But this did not satisfy Chenille.
They were worked up to high pitch.
They were not going to let him go,
