AT Crooked CraQ.
Hernandez, the gentleman adventur-
er, the clever smuggler of cocaine
and heroin, established his headquar-
tiers at the Crooked Crag. The pro-
pr1etor recognized him for what he
was; there was a secret compact, un-
spoken, but well understood, between
the two
Hernandez had located himself in
the secret, sound-proof room at
crooked Crag. He was talking over
the telephone.

With the scrap Of paper in his DOS
session Neal had excused himself to
Inez, and had started back to his
training station with definite pur-
pose in view. Once arrived there. he
handed the crumpled slip of paper to
the officer in command and told his
story
But all this went on unknown to
hernandez. He had not missed the
scrap of paper.
half an hour later on a wharf in
Newport there drew up a very capable

friend, Annette Iington, boarded her.

Inez Castro's handbag was lying on
a dressing table; to her it was the
hand bag of Irene Courtier. She
opened it and drew forth card en-
graved with the latter name, together
with a little silver pencil. She wrote
hastily upon the card:
81 am Annette Ilington. am con-
fined in a second-story room in the
gear of this building-the barred room
where you see the handkerchief. Look

She thrust the card between the
bars and dropped it. It f1uttered down
beyond her sight. Then she tied her
of the bars. AS she finished she heard
a rattle at the lock of the door and
Hernandez entered the room.

strobe to the table. The map still lay
there but now upon it's face appeared
none of the recently revealed inscrip-
lions, it was as blank as it had been
before. Welcher's fingers itched to
get hold of the map. He needed it in
his business, for his business just now
was keeping out of trouble. He
stretched forth a hand to take it.
'You and your old map" he said,
with an attempt at POPULARITY, "it's like
