Wednesdays-at least on the Wednes-
days previous-the Hoffs had started
OF on their mysterious trips at eight
sharp. His intention was to get away
ahead of them and pick them up
somewhere outside the city limits.
Jane had promised that she would
be on hand promptly. Once more he
looked inpatiently at his watch. 1t
lacked just half a minute Of the quar-
ter. but there nae no sign Of his fell
low operative. The only person visible
in the block was a. boy strolling care
lessly in his direction. With q NUT
tered exclamation Of annoyance Dean
restored his watch to his pocket. de-
batting with himself how long he
ought to wait Ind whether or not he
had better wait ii she did not appear
soon. Very possibly. he realized,
something entirely unforeseen might
have detained her or have prevented
her coming. Perhaps her family had
doubted her story that she was going
off on an aIl-day motor trip with a
friend? Maybe their suspicious had
been aroused by his having reported
on alone when he observed that the
boy he had seen approaching was
Standing beside the motorcycle.
Good morning, Thomas said the
boy, a little doubtfully. as if not quite
sure that It was he.
Dean gasped in establishment. The
boys voice was the voice Of Jane.

seat beside him, asking:

As she spoke she adjusted over her
head q visorlike. wooden cap that left
only her face showing.
