CHAPTER So
But, don't yol think, Rex?" in
quired Pat. an anxious note in
her voice. that it would be best
to wait until Maxwell turns Jimmy
over TO me before we make any
move toward recovery OF the Sc
curities?"
Before ballard could reply to her
question DR.. Gordon spoke.
Il believe we'd better tell Pat Of
Dur experience today, Rex" he said,
land OF the opinion that We both
hold regarding Maxwell's intentions.
No use letting her lose a lot Of
time in vain expectation, especially
now. since this young man has Of
fered to right the wrong he didl"
You're right, Frank" agreed the
other at once, and turning TO the
girl. whose eyes had grown big
with wonder at what this CONVEX
sation might mean, he briefly and
conciSely related the story Of the
doctors chance sight OF Maxwell
and Jimmy that day and OF the
taxicab chase Of the maroon-color-
ed a and its result.
1--WE decided, after returning from
our fruitless run, that you had
worries enough without the addi-
ton Of that incident" he said in
conclusion. Then, as a thought
struck him he turned to Jean Bou-
chard.
DO you happen to know. Bou-
chard?" he asked, where Maxwell
was going today with Miss Blair'S
brother?"
All I know Is what his chaui-
feur. Bill Munson. told me-" re-
piled Bouchard. HE said that Max
well took Jimmy somewhere out
near Mt. Vernon. IN Westchester
county. But, even the chauffeur
can't tell any more than that, for
Maxwell. he said, made him get
out OF the car when they reached
Mt. Vernon and wait at a hotel
there while he took the wheel and
finished the trip by himself. Bill
told me Maxwell was gone about an
hour and when he got back 70 the
hotel ne "a alone in the car. jim
my was gone!"
"Oh, dear!" moaned Pat, her
voice a wall OF dismal dread. do
you suppose it's possible that he
could have" She stopped. The very
thought OF what Maxwell might
possibly have done with Jimmy was
too awful to consider.
Il know he planned TO put Jimmy
In a sanitarium somewhere!" said
Jean Bouchard quickly, as he noted
the frown that darkeEed DallardS
brow at the cry from Pat. Il hap
pened by accident TO hear him tele-
phoning yesterday from a hall phone
in our apartment house. and he
called the party Doctor that he
was talking TO, and spoke OF a
quiet sanitarium where my boy can
be away from the city'S racket"
That's what he's done, without
a doubt-put Jimmy into some SAINT
tariuml' opined DR.. Gordon in a
tone that implied perfect confidence
in the accuracy Of his opinion
There are several Of which ] know"
he went on optimistically. in and
around Mt. Vernon, and q score, at
least. scattered throughout West
chester county. Il may require q
week or so OF diligent c~anvassing
before we locate the one in which
Jimmy Is planted, but a patient
search will reward us. I'm sure!"
You have the right kind OF
medicine. Doctor Frankl" chirruped
the everhopeful Margery. "An ounce
Of optimism to drive away a a
OF worry is the best prescription
any doctor can issue. Look at Pat
she's smiling now, her scare all
gonel"
It was true. The smile, like the
