Immediately after that call he

reported to have disappeared. The

which there was no enthusiasm.

ing lot of work now"
Griffs voice was cold and
ominous. ..,,
"You mean you're laying down
on the job?" he asked.
"No, don't mean that" Bleek-
er said.
"You mean you've lost your en-
thusiasm for bringing Morden's
murderers to justice?"
"No, we're going to get them.
But, frankly. Griff, it seems to
me you're using up lot of energy
on a blind lead"

"But he wouldn't come to the

appeared" Blocker objected.

In less than three minutes he

struggled into an overcoat.

you to telephone your paper to
publish the best photograph Of
Charles Morden you can dog up
and ask particularly if any taxi
cab driver who remembers being
hired by the hour by this person
will communicate with the paper.
"You see," Griff went on, that
big taxi entry is far more likely
to mean that he engaged cab by
the hour for lots of short trips
than that he took one long trip. He
could have taken a long ride much
more expeditiously and cheaply
than in a taxicab. But if he was
fighting against time, trying to do
something in a hurry, as his re-
ports indicated that he was, and if
he had uncovered red-hot trail
he would have rented cab by the
hour. In that way he wouldn't
have lost any time while he went
from place to place-places that
probably were not in districts
where he could pick up cabs cas-
ily."

We'll ask anyone who might have
any information about Morden to

Blocker picked up the telephone.

Willows are great travellers. They

hardly keep willow from growing if
you give it water. If twig falls fiat

along its entire length, and shoots will
grow from the buds on the upper
