before we get any further off the track.
How did Mrs. Hemingway happen to
learn about Captain Killam?'
"Why," says l, "she had her ear out
while was tellin' Miss Wee. Would you
believe, though, that an old girl like
her"
Il would says he. Humorous as it
may seem to you, | should credit almost
any one with wanting to dig up several
million dollars, if they could find where
it was hidden

Quite thoughtless of you. Hah!"
joke for Old Hickory, I'll go down to
Thirty-third Street and try it first on the
statue of Horace Greeley. If he rocks
back and forth in his bronze chair and
lifts the roof off the L station above, I'll
know it may do to pass on to Mr.. Ellins.
Yep! That's just the way feel about it.
"I expect Pm released on this case,
then?" says l, after waitin' while Old
Hickory chews his cigar savage for
couple of minutes.
NO." he snaps out. "You've succeeded
in losing Captain Killam; now you'll help
find him again. I'll go with you this
time Come"
SEEMED too simple for words at first,
me and MIR. Ellins startin' out to hunt
New York for batty stranger in blue
flannel shirt. By degrees, though, got
the idea. It's the competition that has
stirred him up. Likely enough, he'd
have turned Rupert and his scheme down
cold if it hadn't been for that. But when
Auntie crashes in, the case is entirely diff
ferent; then he's strong for it. Settin'
that time-lock jaw of his and lightin'
fresh perfecto, Old Hickory grabs his hat;
and off we go, with me trailin' along re-
luctant. His first move is to hail taxi.
"Just goin' to cruise around town casual
in the hopes of spottin' him on the fly,
eh2" I asks.
Hardly says MIR. Eiiins. "I'm not

cheers up bit at sight of her.
"Why, Torchy!" says she. holdin' out
her hand. "And Mr.. Ellins!"
Morning calls right along for me, after
this" says |, sort of walkin' around her.
"Its worth while"
"Old thing!' says she. "Don't be silly.
But what is the NATTER"
says |.
"As that seems to be your speciality,
says he, perhaps you had better"
"Yes, sir; thank you sir, says |, sa-
lutin'.
Then turns to Wee. "Seen Auntie this
morning. | asks.
why, no." says Wee. "I was up rather
early, you know
Not so early as she was, says |.
what do you think she's done? Jumped
in on that treasure hunt was tellin' you
of. She's pinched Rupert, and by now
maybe they're on their way South"
Wee stares at me for a second, and then
gives one of them ripply laughs.
"How crazy of you to think such a
thing!" says she.
Here's the evidence in the case, says
l, pointin' to the map with the scribbln'
on the side. "That's her writin', amt it?
And you remember her wakin up and
askin' questions, don't your

al can't believe it," says Vee "There's
been some ridiculous mistake. But l
can't imagine where she could have gone
so early"
"Couldnt have had time to pack a
trunk, could she?" asks. "If not, she'd
be coming back sometime to-day. Shall
we wait here while, Mr.. Ellins?"
al think | prefer meeting on neutral
grounds says he.
So we goes downstairs and PAGES up and
down the sidewalk, watchin' the avenue
traffic sleuthy.
"Course she wouldn't start off without
baggage" l suggests.
"Im not SO certain" growls Old
Hickory.

tain at. And the next mornin he's gone
Also on other counts the arrow points to
Auntie.
There l was, too, on my way back to
Old Hickory, figurin' whether I'd better
resign first and report afterwards, or Just
take my chances that maybe after he'd
slept on it he wouldn't be so keen about
seein' this Captain Kilam again. Then
! the whole thing hit me on the funny-bone.
Haw-haw! Auntie, the sober old girl
with the mixed-pickle disposition, sud
denly comm to life and pinchin Old
Hickory's find while he's tryin to make
up his mind whether it's phony or not.
Auntie, of all people! More hearty haw-
haws.
WHEN l finally does drift into Old
Hickory's private office and he
motions me to shut the door, I'm still
registerin' merry thoughts.
"Weli:" says he, snappin it out crisp
"You'd never guess, says l, smotherin'
q chuckle.
"Eh?" says he, shootin' puzzled glance
at me from under them overhangin eye
brows of his. "Who wants to guess?
What about Captain Killam?"
"That's just it," says l. "Hes fitted"
"Wha-a-at!" snorts Old Hickory. "You
don't mean he has gomez"
"Uh-huh!' says l. "Been lured away.
But say, here l indulges in my most
comic open-face ovement,-"whod do you

Old Hickory stares at me and waves his
cigar impatient. go on he growls.
"You know Miss Wees aunt" says l,
"Mrs. Cornelia Hemmingway? Well,
she's got him. Yep! Just naturally kid
mapped him, l expect. had my sus-
picions of her the minute found the
Captain was gone. So chases right up
there. She's out. The maid admits she

lam's description. wouldn't have been
sure, though, if hadn't found map of
Florida on the lib'ry table and Nunca
Secos key marked on it. Now, what do
you know about that? Auntie! Amt
that rich?"
No hilarity from Old Hickory-not
even one of them cracked concrete smiles
Of his. He just sits there glarin' at me,
missin' the comedy cue altogether.
"Young man." says he, "just moment

len minutes we Walted-fifteen; and
then spots yellow taxi rollin' up from
downtown. Inside l gets glimpse Of
black straw lid with purple flowers
on it.
"Here she comes!" I sings out to Old
Hickory. "Yep, that's her! And sayl
The Captains with her. Quick! Dive
into our cab
He's little heavy on his feet, Mr..
Elins is, and someway he manages
to get himself hung up on the cab door.
Anyway, Auntie must have seen us doin'
the wild scramble, and got suspicious;
for, just as they got alongside, she pounds
on the front window, shouts something at
the driver, and instead of stoppin' the
other taxi veers off and goes smokin' up
town.
"Hey!' yells Mr.. Elins to our driver.
"Catch that yellow car! Ten dollars if
you catch it,"
And you know it's just the chance Of
hearin few kind words like them that
these taxi pirates live for. This old coffee
mill that Mr.. Ellins had hailed reckless
could give out more groans and grinds
and produce less speed than any other
fare-trap | was ever in. The connectin'
rods was wabbly on the shaft, the gears
complained scandalous, and the hit-and-
miss average of the cylinders was about
33 per cent.
But after few preliminary jack-rabbit
jumps she begun to get headway, and the
next | knew our driver was leanin' over
his wheel like he was after the Vanderbilt
cup He must have been THROWN all his
weight on the juice button and slippin'
his clutch judicious, for we sure was
breezn' some. Inside of two blocks we'd
eaten up half the lead and was tearin up
town like battalion chief answerin' q
third alarm.
glances at Old Hickory to see if he's
gettin' nervous at some of the close
shaves; but he's braced himself in one
corner, his teeth sunk deep into his cigar
and his eyes glued on that yellow taxi
ahead.
THEY was wise to the fact that we was
after 'em, too. First Auntie would rub
ber back at us, and then lean forward to
prod up her chauffeur. couple of rare
old sports, them two, with no more wor-
ries for what might happen to their necks
than if they'd been joy-riders speedin'

Me, was holdin' my breath and waitin'
for the grand smash. If Auntie's driver
had stuck to a straight-away run we'd
either caught 'em or smeared ourselves
against beer truck or something. But
after the first mile he takes to dodgin'.
Zip! he goes on two wheels around
corner.
"After him now!' orders Old Hickory.
"I'll make it twenty il you don't let him
get away
you're on!' says our speed maniac,
and does carom skid into cross street
that showed he didn't need any banked
turns in his.
In and out we goes, east and west and
up and down; now losin' sight Of tho
yellow taxi altogether, then pickin' it up
again; droppin' behind whole block
when the traffic broke bad for us, but
maxim it up when something got in the
way of the other cab.
