II have signed it Mac, and the world
is filled with Macs. When Dan has
reached his ONCE, telephone him and
tell him to do something that will
prove in any court he was in his office
when filed this cablegram."
Lanny relented. You might make q
detective, at that"
Twenty minutes later Dan McNam-
ara was listening to Lanny reading
Stephens cablegram over his private
line. Excellent" was his sole comment,
but print it in block letters. Even a
typewriter can betray one. When Steve
files this telegram, have him pay for
1t with a hundred dollar bill and have
him wear large black goggles and the
rim of his hat pulled down all the way
round. The girl who receives it will
think one crook is cabling another. II

How are we to manage after she
has eluded the Paris police?"
Mcnamara sighed gusttly. Flynn
will be in touch with her bank, and
every time she cashes a draft on her
letter of credit Flynn will have q line
on her address"
You're no help" Lanny snapped and
hung up. Half an hour later, from the
cable cornpany's main ONCE, Stephen

hospital undergoing the operation when
the Paris police receive word to deport

I'm afraid she's balled everything
up, Stephen. Flynn will have the num-

no time to Ak a new passport photo
graph on it. They'll not trust to the
photo to identify her If she tries to
land. They'll check up on the passport
number also"
will you never cease discussing this
miserable business, Lanny?" Stephen
burst out irritably. eff it hadn't been
for you, we wouldn't be in this wretcheo
predicament."
When the captain of detectives called

to him the tale told to him by Mrs
Rudolph Merton, Flynn gave no sign
of being particularly interested. Care

| his mind the facts as stated, and when
he left the presence of his superior ali

recover a lost heiress, by name Pene-

that should make her recognizable any
