As ne and Helen left the detective
bureau and proceeded south in La
Sale street, the girl observed:
"One thing sure: the police really
haven't the slightest idea where How
ard Gentry is"
NO, they haven't. And they are
afraid we'll tag him before they do
His thin face widened in a grin. 1T
would be a joke if they didn't know
what to do with him-if they do make
the pinch"
What do you mean?"
I've an idea the young man can
keep them guessing. Right now,
though. it looks pretty dark for him;
yet there is one factor in his favor
that made me say what just did.
''It is: he was not obliged to frisk
his uncles safe to get the $20,00O-if
his uncle didn't tell that simply to
shield him"
or" appended Helen there may
be something behind this affair that
forces him to remain under cover.
Something unforeseen may have
turned up unexpectedly that caused
him to make hurried getaway"
''We haven't a hint of anything of
the kind yet. We might as
well go round to the Palmer house.
It's bit early for the night force, but
we might pick up something"
As Hazard had guessed. they did
not see any of the night clerks who
might have remembered Howard Cen
try, but instead one of the young men
on day duty.
AS soon as ne heard the nature OF
their errand and who Felix Hazard
and Miss Bertel were. he beckoned to
the day house detective, who at that
instant was crossing the lobby.
Immediately the circumstance that
Howard Gentry had arrived Tuesday
night instead of Wednesday was con-
firmed Then, as an interesting adj
dendum to this, the clerk averred that
about 7:30 o'clock on the morning OF
Wednesday, the twentieth, a man had
applied at the desk to see Gentry on a
matter of pressing importance. In a
few minutes the man was invited up
to Gentrys room. Shortly the young
man, accompanied by the stranger,
came down in one of the elevators
and went hurriedly away. Neither
had been since seen about the hotel,

where the young mans baggage still
remained.
At this juncture the house detective
took up the recital
Il was just relieving the night man
when they left. The fellow with Mr..
Gentry was-this is why l came to
notice them-was 'Gyt' Purcell
Felix Hazards eyes took on a Pc
culiar CLEAN.
THAT crook" he exclaimed under
his breath. Excepting for two short
stretches at Joliet he's never been out
of Chicago. How did he come to be
asking for" The question trailed off
into deep reflection.
You're right" confirmed the house
detective, when Hazard did not con-
tinue. He's bad clear through; an
unpleasant reminder of the old days
when walked beat
A moment longer Hazard remained
plunged in thought, then all at once
came out of his revery, and with a
mumbled Thanks he and Helen de-
parted.
What next?" queried the girl.
Police headquarters. l believe l
see glimmer of light. 'Gyt' Purcell
why, that names a gold mine of
suggestions"
AS they hurried along Hazard re-
NAMED thoughtful, seemingly survey
| ing the case from new angle. Helen
refrained from breaking into his cogi-
tations and herself reviewed the facts
in an effort to grasp whatever fresh
| development was suggested.
The phase that perpexed her was
the implication that Gentry was in
league with crook as notorious as
| "Gyt" Purcell.
| Their destination was the old Harri-
son street headquarters, where Hazard
asked for Captain McInerney, and he
and his companion were Immediately
ushered into the captains presence.
Hazard began without preamble.
How long will it take you to lay
your hands on 'Gyt' PurceIl?"
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1916-02-04

"As long as it will take me to phone
Levinski's pool room and pass the
word for him to come In. That's his
hangout, you know. What's the hur-
ry?"
Go ahead. then, and do it. 1 have
bunch that he knows a whole lot
about the F1euroy murder"
The officer studied him an instant,
as he reached slowly for his desk in
strument.
I'll do it." he acquiesced without
enthusiasm; 'but what's the use?
We know pretty much all we need to
about that case"
What do you mean?" Hazard quick
ly demanded.
Helen's eyes took on a more alert
look, because she was beginning to
see the drift of her companions hypo-
thesis and could not understand Nc
Inerney's manner.
The captain finished with the tele-
phone and showed it away from him.
Said he:

brittily broke in. Get him, cap, be-
fore he makes clean getaway"
"Oh. we can get him if necessary
But ask: what's the use? Not more
than twenty minutes ago the man who
did the killing was brought in"
Hazard could not restrain a start.
He and Helen exchanged surprised
glances.
you mean Gentry" he demanded.
II mean Gentry, Right now he's
sleeping off as beautiful a jag as you
ever laid your two eyes on. And if
you are interested in the sort of COM
pany he keeps, he was found in a
room up over this same Levinski's."
Again Hazards eyes cleaned. Both
he and Helen relaxed from their
strained attitude and the latter ap-
peared to lose interest.
Go on, cap" Hazard softly urged,
you interest me strangely"
We'll, If you need any further evil
denee that he's the man, we found it
on him-the three gold dollars taken
from Kendal's safe"
Helen interposed. Said she:
Il have very good reasons for be-
lieving that Mr.. Gentry is not drink
ing man. A mans fiancee is pretty

McInerney shrugged his shoulders.
you have only to look at him to
learn how mistaken mans fiancee
may be-" He turned to Hazard.
Want to see him." he asked.
Hazard signified that he did; but
Helen was Indifferent, having no in
clination to view the prisoner.
Hazard was shown to a cell where
tall, well-knit young fellow lay
stretched upon an iron cot. He ap-
peared to be in a drunken stupor.
His handsome, refined face was
marred by a CHASTITY pallor, his black
hair was rumpled, and from time to
time he moaned and stirred uneasily
in his sleep.
Suddenly Hazard leaned over the
sleeper and shifted At once the du-
bious expression cleared from his face,
and in another instant he was back in
McInerneys office.
IT'S Gentry all right" he assured
Helen. Then, to the police captain ::
Say, don't you bulls know the diff.
ference between raw whisky and whis-
ky that's been drugged? You'd better
call a doctor. The booze is on the
young fellows clothes, not his breath.
'Send out the word for 'Gyt' Pur-
cell, cap. There's been a rotten plant
here that you fellows are blind to,
and it's more important than ever
that you get him. Stick him in soil
tary to get in condition to be worked
on tomorrow"
He and Helen returned to the Suth-
erlands. and an hour or so later they
were informed that Purcell had been
brought in and that Gentry had in a
measure recovered his sober senses,
though he was still dazed and un-
steady.
Five minutes later Felix Hazard
was again in the young mans cell.
The talk lasted until long after night
fall. at when time the detective left.
The early hours of the following

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
St. Johnsbury Youth Was Swept Over
Dam Into Rapids.

ST. Johnsbury, May l5.-A drowning
accident was avelted here yesterday by
the quick work of Adelard j. Payeur,
who jumped into the Moose river and
rescued Ernest Jay. six-year-old son of
Alfred JAY The little boy had wandered
away from home following older eompan-
ions, who were fishing on the river bank.
He tried to cut fish pole, lost his bal
ance and fell some distance into the river
just above the l5-foot mill dam OF the
American Hoe & Fork Co.
As the small boy was hurled over the
dam, Payeur, who was out for an after
noon stroll, saw the body and, throwing
off his coat, plunged in just below the
rapids. He brought the boy up and ap
piled first aid and carried him home. The
child is badly cut and bruised, but his
is not serious. This is the sec
ond person Mr.. Payeur has saved from
