the legislature could liberalize rules

rotary of the National Council for

Parker said.
Foremost artists have offered their
work for display and more than
100 900 American oil paintings, water
eolors, prints, sculptures, ceramics

Our purpose is to acquaint as

I have a good reason for asking it.
Just why I'll explain later. Right
now the important thing is to get
the job done. That's all I can tell
you now"
Stanley's last words were urgent,
driving. Kay responded eagerly,
but with a deepening sense of re-
sponsibility.
I'll do my best for you, Mr..
Stanley" she assured him. "And
thanks for giving me this, oppor-
tunity."

Stanley was silent an instant,
his keen eyes probing Kay's ami
mated face.
Rather, let me thank you, Miss

other typewriter page across the
desk to her. On it was the his

the crowded bar. Certain neither of
them had noticed her at the Mo-
rocco Club, she played her cards
boldly. Keeping her face slightly
averted, she took the seat next to
Stover's companion.
AS she did so, the blond girl called
to one of the barmen.
my drink" she said, and Kay
caught the unmistakable touch Of
foreign accent, you made it too
sour. Could 1 not have one more
lump of sugar, please?"
The nearest bartender, obviously
foreign, regarded her coolly for a
moment, then approached with a
single lump of sugar on a small
plate. The girl took the sugar loaf
in her long, slender fingers. For an
instant before she dropped it into
her drink, she held it poised above
the glass.
Kay, seated next to the girl,
started Involuntary. The lump Of
sugar was marked! Two small
black dots paralleled thin pencil
line which ran diagonally across
the cube of sugar.
That it was a signal of some kind,
in code, Kay had no doubt. But
before she had time to wonder what
it meant, the answer, in part at
least, was given her Phillip Slower

friend, then turned away from the
bar.

easily. I've phone call to make
It's one I should have made an

Slower moved away through the
noisy crowd. Kay followed him
with her eyes until he disappeared
into a phone booth, in an alcove in
the rear of the restaurant. Fight
ing the rising excitement she felt,
Kay left the bar casually, made GER
tain Stover's companion and the
bartender weren't watching her,
then headed toward the alcove.
Reaching it, she saw three large
phone booths lined up against the
alcove'S rear wall. The glass in the
doors Of the booths was all heavily
curtained, permitting no view into
them. Kay picked up a phone book,
pretending to search for number,
in reality trying to catch the gist Of
Phillip Stover's phone conversation.
But she heard no conversation.
No sound whatever came from the
booth. She kept thumbing through
the phone book. A minute passed

CHAPTER III.

The morning after She had seen
Phillip Slower in the secret passage
way under the Old World Restau-
rant, Kay Dennis was at her Mid
town Detective Agency early. Con-
WINGED she was right about what
Phillip Slower was doing. Kay had
phoned the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Deeming 1t unwise
to tell her story over the phone, she
had requested permission to tell it
in person. The answer had been
that the F. B. I. would call back.
Waiting for the call, Kay thought
about Beck Creighton; pondered
again his refusal to accompany her
when she'd trailed Slower and his
girl from the night club to the Old
World Restaurant. She wondered
if Beck had gone to the publishers
meeting in Long Island City this
morning as he'd said he must.
She reached for her phone to call
his bookstore. Since she was in love
with Beck, she felt she had the right
to know the truth about it. Just

picked it up.
Miss Dennis?" a crisp voice said
through the receiver.
Kay said, yes"
"You called the Federal Bureau
of Investigation a few minutes ago
in regard to a certain matter you
wished to discuss personality"
YES" Kay repeated.
Drop in before 10 this morn
ing" was the reply. "Mr. Stanley
will see you"
Kay put down the phone and
caught up a white net turban which
she wound around her dark hair
with a few def ticks. She left a note
for Vince Reeves, the big ex-marine
who did preliminary investigating
for her, and departed for downtown
Manhattan.
Half an hour later Kay was ush-

through slitted eyes, biding its time
to pounce.
Calls for "Her Drink"
Kay entered The Old World casu-
ally, but on the alert. She found
herself in place typical of that
particular foreign quarter of New
York. A long bar occupied one en-
tire wall. Stout tables filled the rest
Of the space. The place was well
filled, almost crowded. Excitement
permeated the thunder of converse
ton, carried on entirely in foreign
language, as the patrons discussed
latest European developments.
Kay's acute trouble sense" rang
a sharp warning bell in her mind.
Why had Phillip Slower, an Ameri-
can, come to this place? Her mind
clicked back to the scene in the
night club from which she had fol-
lowed Slower; the waiter with the
urgent, military manner; the signal
he flashed to young Slower; Slower S
hasty departure, his quick taxi trip
here. Why?
Kay saw young Slower and the
blond girl wedged in at the end of

CHAPTER II.
How Beck could have fallen asleep
with the racket of the Morocco
Clubs orchestra beating in his ears,
Kay could not understand.
Sorry, Kay he grinned guiltily
as she hurried MIN out of the club
into the sitting August night. For
give me, huh?"
Not If Phillip Slower and his
blond girl friend have gotten away
from me-" Kay replied
Beck Creighton struggled to sup
press yawn.
"Stover?" he queried. What hap
pened to him? Did he leave the
club?"
Kay started to speak then checked
herself. Half way down the block,
just beyond the lighted entrance of
a hotel, she saw Stoye' and the girl
climbing into cab. Kay shot a
covert look at the uniformed door,
man who stood impassively at the
curb. She lowered her voice.
"A waiter who acted as if he'd
spent his life in the army gave
Slower a signal" she said Slower
