Aa to the disappearance of Bet ty Lancey and of the Man-Aperilla these rlddlea were still at their baffling Inception. The police found them selves up against a polygonal enigma The murder of Cerlsse W ayne; the identity and whereabouts of Hamley Hackleye; the unparalleled resem blance between Mrs. liarcourt and Mrs. Wayne; the disappearance of Betty Lancey; and the appearance And disappearance of the Man-Aperilla —*11 surrounding the death of Mrs Wayne. Larry Morris grew thin and gaunt as the days passed on, and no tidings came from the missing Betty. Har court’s wife had been taken to a sani tarium and Harcourt was held in Jail pending her recovery and the clear ance of the mystery. The copy of the letter Harcourt had made was pro nounced by experts to be a disguised hand, and the signature of Harold Harcourt on the hotel register was found to be almost Identical with the formation of the Initials H. H. append •d to the letters found among the ef fects of the dead Cerisse Wayne Opinion was divided among various speculations and some thought that Harcourt had killed Mrs. Wayne, other theorists held that Harold Harcourt and Hamley Hackleye were the same others still, that Harcourt had been masquerading as Hackleye, and in that way explained the vanishing of H ack leye.

Larry Morris persistently held to it that it wus only right that an expedl tlon should be fitted up and sent to A frica to see if there might be any further clews picked up there. His paper laughed at him, and one editor, who guessed the condition of Larry’s heart, called him a “ lovesick fool Larry fumed until one night late in August he had a dream about Betty tie saw her in a jungle, amidst a horde of llbyans and hideous black men. And she was standing there stretching out her hands to him. H er voice, thick with pain, called out to him, “ Larry! Oh, L a r ry !” That settled I^arry M or ris. He threw up his Job the very next day, and with Johnny Johnson in tow left for New York. Five days later Larry had made a tie-up with a press syndicate to go to Africa, along with Johnny Johnson, and see what could be done towards tracing out that end o f the tale. They had no charts, noth ing but a few half obliterated post marks torn from letters found in the safety deposit box kept with Double day. Franz A Co., but on these Iaarry was pinning much faith. It was the mustard seed he hoped would move mountain.
