eff Hugh Campbell is involved in
ithis at all, he'll be too clever to do
lanything so conspicuous or suspi-
Icious. In fact, he'll probably come
lforward as soon as he learns Head
Iquarters wants him." He paused.
f"Phone the Bureau, jerks, and tell
lGordon to inquire for him at all
Ethe best hotels In town. IF he's
ktaying in Philly and isn't with
friends, he'll check in only at the
finest"

Ethen finished his instructions. :.
Besides, he has connections
there, through which he might be
ltraced. Let's see =. there's Gussie
Morton at the Morton Club and

dined against the wall beyond the
xail, where a man and woman
waited whom Rankin had barely
noticed on his arrival. They sat

In a gray dress that revealed an
attractive figure; about twenty
three years old, she was physically
lemall, with petite features, pretty

The man was as large as She was

was tall and broad-shouldered. His
eyes were dull and unimaginative
and altogether he radiated ponder
Gus energy, without alertness or
sagacity.
Studying them each Ia turn, Ran

are they and what do they know
about the casei"
"The girls name is Jill Edmond
Miss Jill Edmond" jerks re-
piled. Earlier, l understand, she
worked as Mrs. Rowland's secre-
tary last December and January"
"Worked is right, but not any
longer" Rankin commented with
smile. Because she happens to be
his correspondent-the woman with
lwhom he had the affair that caused
his wife to sue for divorce"

knowingly, with slightly lascivious
iamirk
