Come" said Semi Dual.
We passed out of the entrance In
to the street and stopped. Dual went

Miss Lawton from Salt Lake. She is
in this house at present; but she VIII
leave here. In my belief. when she
does, she will return TO the place
where her captive is kept. You, as one
conversant with this place, are the
best qualified to follow, and see where
she goes"
McKabe nodded.
'Tll shadow that wren, If she comes
out" he declared, But what will the
rest of you do?"
Follow you in our own fashion,"
Dual replied.
But will she come out?" queried
Lucille, with glance of contempt At

Did she get wise to our crowd.
Tipping that bowl wasn't the best

front of the telephone exchange ON
Washington Street an stick around
until / come. Just drift around in
that section-see?"
We agreed and saw his stopped
figure shuttle back into the building.
Then we turned and walked slowly
up the street, looking idly into the
windows of the shops and saying little
or nothing. Dual had taken place be-
side Reich and Sheldon, and that left
me with Lucille.
She nodded at Semi's back.
How does he do it," she whis-
pered. How did he know that we
would meet that woman In that places.
Why did he say we had gone too far.

What told him?"

"Pm not" / protested. Il mean
Just that. If you don't like the word

"No-unless it is my subjective self

made me feel oddly, that was all"
Again she laughed nervously.

Some way l feel as il we were all
moving in the midst of such fog as
