Well" added Craig, you see MI
chael has become Infatuated by the
treatment he received from the Gluten
ing Hand. believe he cufed him IN
the face yesterday. Anyway, he says
he has determined to get even aud be-
tray him"
did not like the looks OF the
| thing. and said 80. Craig" ] objected
yehemently, don't go TO meet him
II is a trap"
Kennedy had evidently considered
my objection already.
1T may be n trap" he replied slow
ly, but Elaine is dying and we've got
to see this thing through"
As he spoke, he took an automatic
from n drawer OF a cabinet and thrust
Il into his pocket. Then he went to
another drawer and took out several
sections OF thin tubing. which seemed
TO be made TO fasten together as a
fishing pole Is fastened. but were now
separate, rs II ready for travelling.
Then he went out. ! followed, still
arguing.
III you 60, ! 60" l c~apitulated.
That's all there is to H."
Following the directions that MI.
chael had given over the telephone.
Craig led me into one OF the toughest

Here's the place" he announced,
stopping across the street from a
dingy Raines law hotel.
Pretty tough" ! objected. Are you

his notebook again.
Reluctantly | followed and we en-.

we were accosted by the proprietor.
comfortably clad in n loud checked
suit and striped shirt sleeves. Il had
one here once before-forty.nlne. |
think"
Fifty" ! began to correct.
Kennedy trod hard on my toes.
Yes, forty.nine." he repeated.
The proprietor called n stout negro
porter, walter and bell. hop all com.
bined in one. who led US upstairs.
"Forty.nine. sah." he pointed out,
as Kennedy dropped a dime into his
ready palm.
The negro left US. and as Craig
started to enter, ! objected. but,
Craig, It vas f~ifty.nine. not forty.nine.
This is the wrong room"
81 know IT," he replied. 81 had It
written In the book. But | wan forty.
nine-now. Just follow me, Walter"
NerYously | followed him into the
room.
Don't you understand? he went
on. Room forty.nine is probably just
