CHAPTER XIV
The psad-Lins

We found the three disappointed
afternoon callers already on hand when
we reached the headquarters. The
boss said. Good evening. gentlemen"
as pleasant as q basket OF chips. and
invited the waiting bunch into the
private Office. swapping on the lights
as he opened the door.
No introductions were needed. One
of fhe pair Hatch had brought with
him was a lawyer named Marrow,
whose home town was Sedgwick a
sharp-nosed, ferret-eyed man who fig

1t. Opening his desk he took a box of
cigars from q drawer and passed II.
With this concession to the small hos
pitalities the boss swung his chair to
face the trio.
MY time is yours. gentlemen" he
said and Hatch jumped In like a man
fairly spelling for a fight.
For six months, Eoreross, you've
been moving a pretty Wide swath out

The boss didn't seem 10 be much
scared up over the doubt. He Just
smiled and said we'd be likely to find
out what was In the wind. and that
before very long. Then he spoke of
Hatch's afternoon call at our offices.
and mentioned the fact hat the Red
