DISAPPEARANCE
GRAHAMS strode toward the
phone. As he seated himself, he
pushed his Angers through his hair.
He made an unconscious gesture
about bis necktie. He dialed a num
ber that was scrawled upon the tele
phone pad.
A maid answered the call. No,
Miss Kent wasn't at home. Oh, Mr.
Grahame? Would he wait a moment,
please?
He watched the little clock upon
the table across the room tick away
the minutes. He listened Intently,
wondering it the connection had
been broken but, no, there was no
dial buzz.
He smiled a little ruefully, thlnk-
ly to Grahame, Ignoring Wlnslow.
She had large eyes with long lashes;
her balr was blue-black. Her skin
was a little sallow, but she waa
good-looking.
"She expected your call. She said
It you phoned within the next bait
hour to tell you she expected to
have dinner with you. Otherwise
she'd talk with you herself. You
phoned. I came In here to tell her.
She wasn't here . . . Just this."
She pointed to the crystal powder
Jar which lay in p'leces upon the rug.
"Didn't you hear it fall?"
Her glance met Grahame's, then
Ahltted to tbe floor again,
"The rug Is very thick."
Wlnslow grunted. He said: "If she
went out, what did she wear? Is that
her dress on the day bed?"
"She was to wear that tonight. I
put It out."
"Where are the things she wore
when she came in? What were
they?"
The maid frowned, thinking. "A
blue ensemble." She glanced around.
"It Isn't here. I'll look In the closet."
She stepped across the room and
opened a door.
Wlnslow, behind her, whistled
thinly and muttered, "Some closet."
IT WAS a small room; row upon
row of clothes stretched across
It on hangers. Wlnslow pointed to
E

Is used In It literal aense. The few
dlspensera, who early last weelc re
fused to adopt the five cent price,
were meeting the competition today
by serving for dime more than
twice the amount of beverage given
under previous circumstances at
that price. In fact Vie new stand

No one has called It a "beer war",
but It begins to look and smell like
one.

"What was on that hanger7"
Inf that perhaps this delay was but
the beginning of bis knowledge of
women. Someone had said that wo
men were never conscious ot time
ivlib men. Some Ironical husband,
perhaps.
He fell a pleasant tingling at the
Immediate correlation of ideas that
swarmed In his mind. That Janice
Kent should keep him waiting waa
thrilling Indeed.
A breathless voice finally an
wered. "This I' tbe maid speaking again,
Mr. Grahame." Her voice sounded
curiously disturbed. "Miss Kent
Isn't at home. No, no. Don't misun
derstand me. She thought you would
call, and was waiting. But when I
went to her room she was gone!
Hello! Hollo! Are you still there.
Mr. Grahame? . . ."
"Yes, Tell me. Hurry. Gone, you
say?"
"Yes, gone. But she couldn't be.
She was not quite dressed. But
there's a jar of powder brokon and
spilled on the floor"
Grahame interrupted, "I'll come
right out." He hung up tbe receiver.
He waited a moment and savagely
dialed a number.
"Hello. Spin? Say, Spin, get over
hero. Instantly. What's that? For
get It. This Is serious. Just talked
with Janice Kent's maid. Janice Is
gone. Yes, yes. Disappeared. Hur
ry!" As he stepped from the doorway
of his apartment house into the
street, headlights flashed upon him.
Wlnslow, In his blue roadster, had
hurried.
TpHB maid said with a trace of
sullennoss In her voice:
"I tell yon Miss Kent always tells
me where she will be. There may be
studio calls, you know."
Grahame put his hand on Wins
low's arm. "Lay off her, Spin," be
remonstrated.
"You try," Wlnslow suggested.
He watched the maid narrowly.
"How long ago was It," ques
tioned Grahame, "that you saw
her?"
She glanced at the clock on the
dresser.
"An hour ... a little less. Miss
Kent ssld she would He down for a
while, then dress." She spoke direct-
the end of a hanger that stuck out
from one of the nearer rows. "What
was on that?"
"I don't A coat, I think. Thoy're
all coats on this rack."
A bell rang faintly. Footstops
sounded. They looked toward the
doorway of the room. A dapper little
man entered. He wore a pearl gray
suit, a gray shirt and tie. There
was a pearl set In the ring he wore.
Only the tips of bis shoes showed
black under gray spats.
He said, In clipped syllables,
"Hullo, Wlnslow. Hullo, Mr. Gra
hame." Grahame nodded. Wlnslow said,
"Hullo, Greono. How'd you got here?
This Isn't one of your damned pub
licity stunts, is It?"
Greeno looked aggrieved. "Cor
talnly not, Spin. Paula phoned me."
He nodded toward the maid.
"Phone anybody else?" Wlnslow
turned to the girl.
"Mr. Myborg. Ho should be here
any time."
"Have you phoned anybody else?"
repeated Wlnslow.
"No."
"Did anybody phone this num
ber?" Almost the girl hesitated. "No,"
she said.
"You wouldn't He to me, would
you?" Wlnslow smiled sardonically.
"Who phoned, Paula?"
"Quit It, Spin," said Grahame Im
patiently. "You won't get anywhere
that way. I think we'd better notify
the police . . . right now."
"No!" Both Wlnslow and Greene
spoke togother. Even the maid's
lips formed the word.
Grahnmo said, surprised, "Well,
what "
"No " A strange voice spoke
from the doorway. "We will not
notify the police ... not yet."
They turned. A man stood at the
door. His head was round and bald,
and sat upon hla shoulders like an
ornnge on a box; there scorned to
be no neck. His figure was short
and burly, and clad In black.
Greeno called effusively, "ittitti
Myberg. How glad I am you're here
Now wo may"
