Where's that Hildreth Walther? I
sent for her to come here"
AS If in answer to his question. a
bellhop appeared in the doorway
He said, The Senorita Walther does
not answer, senior"
mo? Well, we'll go up TO her
room"
The four men went up to the next
floor, and O'Brien raped at the
door to Hildreth's room. There was
no answer
David felt fear stirring within him.
He locked at the hotel detective.
open up, Gonzales" he ordered.
The door was unlocked, opened
and they fled in. The room was
empty. The bed showed no signs of
having been slept in Hildreth's
clothes were in the wardrobe closet.
An open book lay on the chair be-
side the bed, and Hildreths glasses
lay atop the book. David took ev-
erything in with quick glance, then
went to the telephone.
He talked briefly to the desk
clerk, then asked to be connected
with the clerk who had been on
duty last night. He talked a short
time longer, then hung up, his face
bleak and frowning.
"Hildreth left the hotel about mid
night last night" he said. She
didn't return"
Then we must also search for
this woman?" Martinez said. She is
important, si?"
Derringer Sounds Sleepy.
David nodded. "She is Miss Mora s
secretary. They may have gone
away together" He paused, his
face darkly intent as he looked
about. Then: There's Derringer.
We better see if he's about"
He took up the phone again Mark
Derringer was in his room. His voice
came sleepily over the wire. David
told him to stay there until he ar
rived
They went down to Derringer's
room, and found the man dressing.
He had cigarette dangling from
his lips. He was a handsome man,
but some little thing spoiled his
good looks. 1t took David a mo-
ment to find what was out of focus.
1t was Derringer's eyes. Without
his glasses, they were squinted and
red-rimmed.
Derringer said, whats up, Lar
sen? Have you brought the Ges-
tapo?"
Something like that" David said
You know OBrien and Gonzales,
the hotel detective. The other gen.
tleman is Senor Martinez of the San
Juan police"
We'll, what's up?"
LYDIA Mora has disappeared.
Derringer jerked the cigarette
from his mouth and stared. Dis
appeared"
Yes. She left the hotel at mid
night and didn't return. Since
you're her husband, I thought you
might know where she got TO-"
Sorry. But my wife and I have
no rendezvous, ever"
"Hildreth Walther is gone, too"
That's queer :" Derringer
went rigid. Wait a minute! Last
night 1 stopped in to see LYDIA. She
told me Eric Fabier had turned up.

David was in the girls suite,
along with O'Brien and a Senor
Martinez of the San Juan police and
the hotel detective.
O'Brien was saying to Martinez,
"The bed wasn't slept in Her
clothes are still here She went out
at ll:30 last night, after asking the
desk clerk to direct her to the
Claremont Hotel. But she never
reached the Claremont."
Martinez was small. dapper man
in a white suit His features were
hawkish, his eyes keen. I'VE shall

We shall find her, l hope"
OBrien gave David a frowning
glance And said, IF it hadn't been
for you, Larsen, I'd have her safe
back in New York"
David ignored the rebuke. He
said, Miss Mora told me story last
night I didn't believe. I'm inclined
to believe it now. She told me Eric
Fabier was here, and she had reason
to believe he murdered Carmody."

Napor Barrier Lath.

Ask most persons what their walls
ere made of and they answer 'plas-
ter" That, they believe, tells the
whole story. But although plaster
Is the most used wall-Surfacing ma
terial what lies behind it is of tre-
mendouS importance. Particularly
Is it important when the plaster is
new and drying. for the drying-out
nroceSS goes on on both sides of the
plaster, the one you see and that
which is hidden. If there is no
yapor barrier between the unseen
side of the plaster and the studs
and sheathing of your house the
yapor may not be carried off quickly
enough, NAV condense into moisture
and start process of deterioration
of the invisible parts of your walls.
A plaster lath made of felted wood
fbers has been put on the market
recently, complete with an asphalt
vanor barrier on the stud side to re-
tsrd vapor travel 1t is intended to
60 on all exterior walls, to control
the massage of the vapor to outdoors
and to help prevent condensation
With this lath no other Vapor bar
rier need be installed. New wet
plaster can dry slowly, without dam
ger to studs. Sheathing or other hid
Den materials. The humidlfled air
of winter will rot be able to send
too much vapor at time through
the plaster to condense when it
strikes cool outer portions of walls.
The sealed with asphalt lath has
other features which make it good
plaster. 1t comes in large boards
which are nailed to the studs and
locked together between studs with
special wire loops that come at
tached to the lower edge of each
board The locks not only bind the
separate units together, but serve as
plaster grounds, for the base coat of
plaster cannot be skimpy and cover
the lock-insurance against a too
thin plaster job.
The wood fibers of which the lath
is made are impregnated with as
phalt, making them impervious to
moisture. They themselves provide
insulation because of their thou
sands of entrapped air cells.
This lath with its vapor barrier
and special lock joints costs more
than wood or metal lath. 1t has
been estimated that a finished wall,
including insulating lath, plaster and
labor, costs about 1899 cents a
square foot, compared with 1926
cents using metal lath and 1908
cents using wood. For this extra
cost, however, you get efficient side
wall insulation and protection
against condensation, as we'll as a
sturdy, easy-to-handle plaster lath.

What wouldn't we give for some
thing like that between kitchen and
bedroom!" they have sighed, then
put the idea away as lovely but
impractical dream. But it is not so
impractical, now that the price of
tWo-Way communicating phones has
come down. An inter-room conver-.
sation system can be purchased to-
day, complete with a master station
unit and one remote station, for less
than $50.
The master station. inclosed in a
compact plastic cabinet, has five
push-button controls, so that if you
want to add remote control stations
at any time you can do so, up to
five, for $3.50 each. The remote sta
tions, in metal casing, look like mod

ton comes with so feet of special
three-Wire cable for connection to
the master station.
A master station in the kitchen

political battle lines we're drawn to-

aVowed support of the Fusion party
that sent him to City Hall in 1888

party.

He declared he definitely would
not enter the Democratic primary
against Mr.. O'Dwyer, but let it be
known that he would accept the Re-
publican nomination provided the
6. o. P. Endorsement also was given
TO his present city controller, Joseph
D. McGoldrick, and City Council
President Newbold Morris.
Thus, while the way still was
clear for the Republicans to nomi-
nate third candidate, political OBJ
servers considered that course I'M
likely and looked upon Mayor La
Guardia and Mr.. ODwyer as the
final opponents for election after
uncontested primaries.
Mr.. ODwyer, who gained national
attention for his smashing OF
Brooklyn's Infamous murder ring. as
district attorney of Kings County,
previously had been chosen the
regular party candidate by the DEM
