Get in," Jenk agreed. Sure" His

And Jenk said agreeably: Il sure

The deputy raised his eyebrows.

possible it is to explain away situa-

'She was released shortly before

staying at a small hotel on Bush

Perhaps you can find her there"
Burke wasted no time in farewells,
but grabbed his hat, shot out of the
door. called a taxi. and hurried to the
hotel. only to find that Wanda Hara
had checked out. However, a bell cap
tain, with an eager eye for tips, volun-
teered the information that the cab
she had taken was one which custom

was able to furnish the number.
Ten minutes of telephoning located

Burke was interrogating the driver.
Yeah. I remember her," the driver
said, "A swell locker. Took her to
Chinatown, to Chinese restaurant"
Burke climbed into the cab and
said. Let's 60 there"
The man drove to section of the

row of little booths and peered be-
hind the curtains. A young couple en-
gagged in an amorous tete-A-tete; two
Chinese busy with chopsticks; young
Americanized Chinese couple - these
comprised the occupants of the cur
tained booths.
One of the Chinese men raised his
voice in shrill protest A man hastily
appeared from the vicinity of the kitch-
en-. He was somewhat taller than the
average Chinese, wore a blue serge
suit with an air of distinction. and had
a face which was utterly without ex-

pose in his walk as he strobe toward

There was something about the
man which was as steel beneath vel
vet. Burke recognized that he had
come to blank wall which effectively
terminated this portion of his search
for Wanda Hara.
He muttered an apology and. be-
cause there seemed nothing else to

Burke turned to see figure walking
down the stairs with uncertain feet.
As it came into the light, he recognized
the attenuated man with the pasty
skin, who had been staring at his food
in the restaurant as though eating
were an unpleasant ritual.
The man shuffled up close to Burke

Burke debated for moment. feel
ing that he was being the victim of an
opportunist who was living by his
wits, and who had grasped the chance
to capitalize on Burke's anxiety. But
Burke, nevertheless. took five dollars
from his pocket and said. "If you
could convince me you're telling the
truth, it would be worth FIVE"
''Her hairs black and glossy. She's
got bright red scarf. She's wearing
a gold ring on her left hand. It's

the five-dollar bill.
"She came in the joint about half
an hour before you got there" the
man said. ''She was arguing with Lip
Kee in the back room. Then Lip Kee
did some telephoning in the Chink
lingo and a couple of other guys came
in to join in the back room pow-wow.

thing. They're in there now. That's

Mrs. Mary CwelinslEy of Bea- con Falls today brought suit in common pleas court against the company. She asks darnakes of $500. On Feb.
