The dusk had deepened into darkness
when Officer Moran's palm proved not
broad enough to carry away the grin
from under his yellow mustache, and
the grin, escaping. broadened into a
huge laugh.

Blye's black eyes dwelt on Moran

one which Officer Moran kept for
Christmas.
Blye stopped smiling as he walked
away, and his eyes narrowed in con-
centrated thought He stroked his
black Vandyke with his long, lean,
white fingers. They had had their joke
with him, these thick policemen. They
had made him dash madly from corner
to corner. over many weary blocks, but
without knowing that they were doing
SO they had convinced him Of one
thing-that June lived in this vicinity
and that they all knew OF her.
He was passing the corners as he ar
rived at this uncertainty. The corners
were a tangled knot Of street and alley
intersections where one might angle
off in almost any direction and go no
where.
Ned Warner at that moment was
sending a score OF detectives into this
neighborho0d
Tired and half famished. Blye ate his
delayed dinner in company with the
vivacious brunette Tommy Thomas and
the white mustached, pink faced Grin
Cunningham and with heavy, silent
thick eyelidded man who wore short
cropped hair on his big round head.
Tommy and Cunningham and Bye
sat for some time together after the
big man had left. They were evident
~ planning something.
Finally all three went out and step
ped into Blye's luxurious limousine.
Before they had gone very far Blye,
sitting by the girl, leaned toward her
and began talking to her in low tones
BY and by the trace OF smile came
TO her lips.
In a tastefully furnished drawing
room kindly looking woman held the
bubbling Tommy's hand between both
her own while they talked. There were
both sadness and loneliness in Mrs.
Willard as she drew Tommy to a seat
on the couch beside her. but she had
spirit, too, for she displayed a most
eager interest I'm the beautiful portrait

second story window.
''Does June Warner live here2" asked
Ned.
''No, sir"
The head in the second story window
was jerked in Immediately, and there
was a hasty shuttle on the stairs lead
ing to the third floor. a shuttle made by
setting up the right foot first and pull
ing the left one up to it. Also there
was a mad scrambling On the third
floor, while Sammy O'Keefe in the
front doorway looked the throng in the
eye with admirable truthfulness and
swore that there was no June Warner
there, no June Moore, no June any
thing; that there had never been any
June in the house except the one be
tween May and July; that there had
never been In this house any such
young lady as the one who had just
been described; that there probably
never would be; that he had never
seen such a young lady or heard Of
one or expected TO or hoped to.

can find an officer to make the arrest.
Come on in, all Of you"
Some Of them were for holding back,
but Ned Warner was perfectly callous
as to whether or not he took any ones
word or doubted If. He meant TO find
his wife.
By the circumstance OF bringing
home a genuine gourd to little Maggie
Casey, June came home around by an
extremely back way and so missed the
searchers.
Search the cellar, if you please|
Knocked the Widow O'Keefe, leading
the way. Maybe youn look In the
kindly bin! And here's the coal chute!
Now come on upstairs! Here's the hall

The place was vacant. No one was
there. Ned Warner, puzzled and deter
mined, inspected the third floor. No re-
suits. The Widow 0'Keefe had gath
cred up all the clothes and belongings
and put them in a sheet and pOked
them into Mrs. McPherson's third story
window.
June Warner uipped lightly across
the street, let herself In at the Widow
O'Keefe's front door and trotted brisk
~ up the stairs. She swung around the
curving banister.

him all her contempt and all her loath-

came slowly down. His shoulders
dropped. He was whipped.
