voice was crisp. -.
You've been smart, Stoddard,
but I know that racket. Let me
handle it my way"
THE CHASE Is ON
In half an hour more, the man
Dick had seen that morning came
out of the rooming house, glanced
each way and walked toward Fifth
Avenue. He got into a cab, and
Dick at the door Of the restaurant
could see Rickerts move off slowly
and casually after him.
How can I stand this2"
Ernest got Dick home. They sat
down and stared at each other.
The next hour was the worst in
Dicks whole life. When Mallory
telephoned, Dick could hardly talk
to him. There was no call from
Rickerts. But at 8 o'clock, the
doorbell buzzed.
Rickerts walked In smiling.

Rickerts was suddenly like a hu.

to talk fast in low voice. There

dynamite, Stoddard."

Down town Dick was working
as he had never worked before.
Hour after hour he visited every
garage he could find listed, from
Eighteenth Street on up town. He
had gone home after he had seen
Ernest, shaved and put on fresh
linen. He put a flower in his but
tonhole, tried to look his best.
IT figure they won't be driving
that car now. It will be in a ga
rage some place." he told Ernest.
Maybe the garage can tell US
what we want to know"
DICKS STORY
For Dick and Ernest had agreed
they must keep away from the
Twenty-third Street roo ming
house, for the time being at least.
Dick had his story well rehearsed.
Ernest and himself and Rickerts
from the F. B. I. had planned it.
And, hour after hour, Dick re
told it, smiling, to various garage
men.
I'm looking for Jimmie Ray
He's got a swell new convertible
I understand he wants to SELL" the
Judge would explain. 1.-THE agency
from which he bought it told me
but they don't know where he lives
now; but they thought he kept his
car in your garage"
Once Dick ran into q garage
man he knew, knew the kind Of
car Dick owned, and he had tc
change his story. Once he met
some Of his friends, and they must
have thought him mad. He die
not attempt to offer any explana
ton, and they laid it to his trou
BILE with Marcia. AS for Dick, he
had hardly thought Of the poor
girl since she walked out Of his
apartment for the last time.
Dick did not stop to eat. He
went on and on. Worked over to
ward the Hudson. The shadows
were frightening. 1t must be
o'clock. Something had to hap
pen! He had not telephoned Nal
lory since. But there was moi
time.
Just then he passed a small ga
rage on Thirty-third Street. He'd
better inquire. Hopeless, he stopped
at the office.
Dick began his old story. The
garage man nodded.
/ Eyes, Ray used to keep his cal
mere, but he's in Florida-just
left"
The suddenness Of the thine
stunned Dick. Had he been a fool
chasing phantom all day?
IT wonder where I could reach
him? I'd like to write" The ga
rage man shook his head.
II don't know. He lived up al
the Ell Dorado. Maybe they could
tell you, or forward letter"
Dick had to hold himself to keer
from running out Of the place. He
could find no telephone for q cou
pie Of blocks. Then he called
Rickerts. This was no job for him
It needed an expert.

CHAPTER XXXVI

Jay and Serge leaned against
the bar at a night club. They'd
been drinking steadily for a long
time. For Jay was determined
not to lose Serge, to prove to Dick
how wrong he was. '..
Come along to my apartment. I
have some fine French brandy
there"
With alacrity Jay went. He had
been drinking more than he should,
and he did not know that Serge
was ducking drinks consistently
with the collision Of the bartender.
He'd been having gingerale for
hours.
In the apartment Serge took off
his dinner coat and put on a dress
ing gown. It was midnight. Jay
tried not to look at the clock. Then
the telephone rang.
Serge picked up the phone.
Eyes, sweet! OF course. I'll be
waiting" Then he put down the
phone.
He turned to Jay with a shrug.
These women. I'm sorry. I'm
having company"
Then Serge ordered the operator
not to ring his suite again that
night. Jay made his departure in
triumph. He rushed straight home
to tell his father.
When he got home he stopped
suddenly In the hall. A nurse sat
in the library, very Starched and
stiff in her white clothes.
What is it?"
Orders from Dick" Mallory
was obviously nervous.
You're to go with me, Jay. Dick
is busy"
"Of all the fool things!" Jay
told his story. THE mans crazy"
Jay would not have been so COM
Portable II he had seen Serge rush
into the street clothes, leave the
hotel by the freight elevator.
And in the meantime Dick and
Rickert were planning frantically.
It was a waiting game. Rickert and
Dick were huddled together in an
alley, back Of an old mansion. now
a rooming house, lowered.
He's smart. This Serge. And if
am correct he plays lone hand
as much as he can. I'll guarantee
there's only one guy inside"
Dick looked up at the carriage
house. 1t was a two-story affair.
Rickert said there were a ser.
wants quarters on the second
floor. The windows were dark,
the curtains drawn on the four
windows.
WAITING
Dick kept looking at the illuni-
mated dial Of his watch. Its 1890"
We've got to wait until almost
Q. And then we'll move fast"
Waitingl Dick could hear his
heart beat. The hands of his watch
seemed not to move. Several times
he thought it had stopped.
Follow me when we CO." Dick
knew that RickertS. too. was ex-
cited. The night was cool. If only
there were some sign Of life in that
apartment!
What happened in the next mo-
ment was so quiet and swift that
now that zero hour had come, Dick
was unprepared for it.
Rickerts blinked his flashlight
once. Suddenly dark figures moved
in. There was the tinkle of smash
ing glass. The men had thrown
gas bombs through each of the
upper windows.

it was the Oman who began to
give orders. go on down to the
restaurant you were telling me
about and watch the rooming

Dick did as he was ordered. But
first he called Mallory. The old

: Dick.

But Dick only said that to keep
up his courage.
An hour they waited, ordering
beer after beer. Dick stuffed his
into the ported rubber plant back
of him. How he hated the place.
People kept going in and out Of
the rooming house. The men were
coming home from work.
Rickerts did not join them uI1-

desperate. Rickerts dropped into

ually.

and Rickerts ordered more beer

Twenty regular members of the

that isn't cold to a person whose

A daily routine of volley-ball,
swimming, tennis, and hiking is fol-

Spray admitted isn't very long at
