THE STORY so FAR

Y A IHEN her brother Jimmy Fame dis
!" appeared while on secret diplo-
' matte mission in Germany, Patricia
Fame sought the aid of Robert Dallas, ex-
British Army officer, and his two friends
Major Ned Hortigas and Wolf son Konie
These three men were considered particularly
qualified to search for Fame, who was believed
to have fallen into the hands of a vicious
gang of international spies headed by former
German secret service man named Grundl,
also known as Clubfoot.
Fame vanished while in Hamburg waiting
contact with an agent who was to have given
him secret plans of fortifcations of group
of South Pacific Islands; plans of interest
to our Navy Department The suspicion that
he had betrayed his country and sold the
plans to Grundt had brought American secret
service men into the affair.
Dallas and Wolf took up the trail in Ham,
burg and traced Fame to a cafe on the water
'front.' where they accidentally encountered
Grndt. They succeeded in outwitting him
and escaping, but found the secret police on
their trail and fled to Salzburg

whirled about A man had entered and, clos
ing the door, set his back to it.
1t was Robert Dallas.
Addressing the woman, he said brusquely,
Where's Fane?"
She stared at him blankly. Fame? Who's
Fane?"
Don't waste time Where is he2"
She said nervously, "Who are your don't
know YOU"
He laughed. "But know you. You're not
the first of the celebrated Dr. Grundt women
agents I've met, Madame Arlette Lassagne."
At the mention of Grundt's name the woman
seemed to shrink back Come on" said
Dallas sharply. "We know it was you who
lured young Fame to the Cafe Helga at
Hamburg that night. What became of hime"
And when she remained silent, he went on,
You're still in Germany, remember one
word to the Gestabo and your numbers I'D.
Answer me - what have you done with
Fane2"
She was eyeing him anxiously. With a
shiver she said, 'He went away VI haven't
seen him for weeks"
Dallas gave an impatient exclamation.
Don't lie to me. He's been living here in
this house"
"Itsnot true" sheuied with sudden passion.
Evening star., 1936-05-10

Meanwhile Hartigan, accompanied by Pa
tricia, went to Baden Baden, where Fame was
reported to be hiding with woman agent OF
Grundt's, Aylette Lassagne.
In pavilion on the outskirts of Baden
Baden Hartigan saw Arlette meet young Fame,
who was obviously deeply enamored of her,
and overheard her plan to call for Fame that
night in her Car. When the woman had gone,
Hartigan entered the pavilion and ordered
Fame to come with him. The young man, who
Indignantly denied that he was Fame, attacked
Hartigan with chair and knocked him un-
conscious.
At this very hour Patricia, waiting at her
hotel, was approached by man who claimed
to be Hartigans aide and said he had been
ordered to take her to her brothers hiding
place. Throwing caution to the winds, Patricia
accompanied the man, who drove her to
small pavilion outside of Baden Baden. He
led her into stuffy, poorly lighted parlor
and told her to wait there, but not to make
sound, nor under any circumstances to let
anyone see her.
Patricia nodded agreement and waited,
nervous and tense with excitement. Suddenly
she heard light football outside the room:
