Vance rubbed his chin. -weIl,
now-I don't know as I'd like to
predict that. I'm wrong too often"
The garageman laughed appreci-
atively. Say, tell me one time
when you're wrong. Those Sports
Talks Of yours in the movies are
kind OF sports bible around here.
The boys listen to you before they
do their betting"
80 those Sports Talks get up
here, do they?" Vance knew that
his weekly movie features were
shown in large metropolitan pic
ture houses; he didn't know they
had such wide distribution.
Every week. Regular as clock
work. l guess most movie going
folks feel like they know you. The
wife saw you in the big city one
day and said she almost spoke to
you. We got a great little ball
player up here. A Teller named Gus
Schneider. Shortstop on the B. & r.
team. II you're going to be around
here, you might see him play to-
morrow"
I'D sure like TO II you say he's
that good, but I'm just passing
through-that is, I'm getting back
tonight"
There you are. Guess she won't
hold any more" He hung a rubber
hose over the gas tank meter.
Maybe you could help me. I'm
looking up a friend of mine who
was headed for Elmford. Are there
any hotels around here?"
Miller ruminated. Were kinda
of the beaten path up here and
off-hand I couldn't say as there
was any hotel you'd be interested
in. What'd you say the gentleman's
name is? ?"
Vance smiled. He said, Its a
lady-a young lady-named Miss
O'Reilly. I thought maybe If there
were any boarding houses or"
"A young lady? Now, then, let
me think-what's she look like ?"
1t was Vance's turn to scratch
thoughtfully. shes about so high"
he said. indicating his breast pock-
.et, land she's got blue black sort
of hair and big gray eyes.
Miller took his cap Off and put
it on backwards. THE wife said
something about girl staying up
at Lees place on Woodbine hill.
Miss Lee takes paying guests
sometimes. Maybe"
Vance was already in the car, his
foot on the starter. He handed
Miller a bill. Keep the change"
he said. (which way to Mrs.
Lee's?"
Keep on straight on this road
until you pass the green At the
Congregational church-that's the
last one-turn left and go up the
hill. Miss Lees is up top. It's a

Kit thrust the clippings back into
the envelope and put 1t back where
she had found 1t.
She got up and busted her hands
and walked into her own room. She
thrust some clothes into a suitcase
and snapped the clamps together.
Then she went to the telephone and
ordered a taxi.
With no expression at all on he-
face, she closed her piano and drew
the shades. At her desk she opened
strong box and took out OF it a
newspaper picture of Vance, and
her Sembler contract. The FIRST she
put in her pocketbook; the second
she tore into powdery pieces and
dropped into the waste basket.
The timetable she had sought a
few days before lay under her
hand. She ran a finger down the
list Of station stops in Connecticut.
Her finger stopped beside the name
Elmford Junction.
She scrubbed a few lines on a
piece Of note paper. put 1t in an
envelope, and wrote Fran's name
on it. This she put on the mantle.
The superintendent knocked at
her door and announced that her
taxi was waiting.
Kit picked up her gloves and
pocketbook and walked out of the
room without looking back.
Joe Miller, sole owner and pro-
prietor Of the Elmford garage,
boasted that he could tell a pros
pect half mile away. Unless Joe's
prediction was wrong, the small
once-blue coupe squirting jerkily
past the roadside diner, was des-
tined for stop at his place. Steam
rose in clouds from the radiator as
the car came closer, obscuring his
view of the driver.
Joe wiped his hands on his
greasy overalls and picked up a
water pail. He didn't look around
from the faucet as the car wheels
grated on the gravel drive.
The car stopped and the driver
removed a square Of linen from the
breast pocket of his white coat and
wiped his face.
Gas ?" Joe asked succinctly as
he poured water into the radiator.
"All she'll hold. Oil, too, / guess"
his customer replied.
Miller gave him a passing glance
as he went around to the back of
the car, kicking the rear tires as he
went. Guess you need air, too, Mr..
Healey."
Vance fiexed his cramped mus
Giles and ran the handkerchief
around under his collar. I'm
stranger around here" he said
with friendly grin. you Yankees
always call your shots"
You're no stranger around here,
Mr.. Healey. Not since we got news
reels up here. What do you think
of the Giants chances this year ?"

items ringed with blue pencil:
