CHAPTER III.
On the Track of a Crime.

In the city room of the Star, Farriss,
the city editor, sat back in his swivel
chair smoking a farewell pipe pre-
paratory to going home. His thoughts
were suddenly interrupted by a clatter
of footsteps, and, slapping his feet to
the floor, he turned to confront Willis
and Miss Donovan.
Miss Donovan smiled at him. Great
luck We've got something; and we
dug all week to get it."
"Well, for Pete's sake, shoot" de-
manded Farriss. "Cayendish, sup
poser
The two nodded. Their eyes were
alight with enthusiasm.

Miss Donovan started imperceptibly.

John Cavendish's apartment the day
after his Cousins murder! But who
was she? There were a million car
rot-bIondes in Manhattan. Still, the
woman must have had. some distin-

"Did the woman wear any dia-

"No diamonds" Valois returned {;

Miss Donovon's blood raced fast,

ordinarily seek men; therefore there

her presence in John Cavendish's
