He frowned as one of these stumbled against him. The hunting was poor; seemingly the fraternity of "dips" had flown south with the geese. He turned from the store, reached headquarters and sat down to make out his report. There wouldn't be any Btory to this if Detective Hyde's sterling fountain pen had nestled In its customary vest pocket. But it wasn't there. Then the sleuth remembered the K.
