While his new assistant was away
on his Washington trip Fleming
Stone was doing all he could to clear
up matters against his return.
There were so many things to
think about. Was it wise to let Per-
lila start off on that California trip?
He saw no reason against it, and he
was glad to have Bob so along. He
could keep a sort of tally on the
party, and if anything seemed to call
for him Stone could join them any,
where.
Stone had carefully studied the
scraps of penmanship that Perilla
had dutifully collected for him.
While they gave him no exact infor-
nation it did stir his imagination
that at least two of the wedding
party had criminal tendencies, while
four or five were liars.
He took this information, however,
with grain of salt, for his knowl-
edge of graphology was not exhaus-
tive. But he felt that if these stray
bits of lore corroborated his suspi-
cions, at least that was step in the
right direction.
But depend upon them, he did not.
Nor did he feel over-great interest

are so many obstacles that must be

I'd much rather you were already
gone when Farman comes, if he does
come"
So preparations for the journey
went on. Perilla brooded more or
less, but not when it might distress
others.
