Lallarr, having tried to blackmail George Vox, Allaire'e young dtplo, mat friend, h.ie turned to her vlay boy father. Hay Weet. And Ray cannot find Allaire: he htte been talkinq from Note York to hie mile in lVoaMf fllon, and both are pretty much perturbed. Chapter 21 A CLUE n AT'S lawyers war do help. They pointed out that bo ttepi could bo taken until the story was veri fied or denied, and Allaire bad to do that. Ray Immediately ot the machin ery in motion. He called a Arm of private detectives he'd need before. They sent a man right over, and together they tried to lift the tbreade. The only thing they seemed to have to to on was a possible con nection between Allaire and a man named Wlllett. TVs need a place to start,'' said the detoctlve. "You want her as fast as you can and picking up a trail In a city like Washington Is no cinch on short notice. Now, do yon seri ously think she's run off with Wil lett?" "I don't know what to think," Ray said helplessly, "She was out at my country place a couple of mornings "I'll attend to It Now get busy after Puff Harrington." TERRY bad been out attending to a few last details and when he returned to bis room late that after noon he found Puff waiting for him. It was the first time he'd seen ber that day. "What, she Inquired severely, "have you been doing 7" "Buying tickets and things." "No, I mean In other and darker days. Ray West ft aU of a ditber to see you." "WhoT Allaire's fatherr "None other. He had some queer notion I'd know where you were. He called Washington and was referred to Louise's. Might have been embar rassing It 1 hadn't had the foresight to ask Lot,;-' to 'front' for me In case the Senator or the Senator's wife should make a surprlss call. "So Louise stalled off Ray until she'd talked to me and I thought I'd better see what was on bis mind. Ray's rabid on the subject of mak ing your further aqgualntance. 1 re peat therefore what have you been doing? If It's a shotgun affair, be loved, then all I can say Is thai Allaire Is a lot better than 1 am? lie wants to see me? Why, I won der?" Ravenously. His voice quivered with eagerness. Had .1 seen you ,Rsy sounded eager, en edge, igo, and she said she could do a treat deal about somethlng-or-other ind she would. We were talking ibout ber attitude toward men." "Do you know anything about Wlllett, Mr. West?" He tried to think and the name eemed to stick In bis mind. In the lucid light ot mind-clearing shocks lie had a chance to think deeply. He waa convinced he'd heard that name before. Wlllott? Wlllett? And then some thing shone through the mists. He got up and strode about the room. ."Now I've got It," he said sudden ly. "He waa on my car. I'm sure It was he. Wlllett! Terry Wlllett! That's ltl I found htm on my car and he rode to Washington with us. I was a little tight so 1 don't remem ber much about him, but he got off at Washington." He stopped In his stride. That didn't help much; It was a known fact that Wlllett had been In Wash ington. Rny said so gloomily. "IiTELL, you can't tell," said the ' detective. "Did he say any thing to anybody leave the train alone, or what? Did anybody else get oft your car at Washington?" "Yes." said Ray. "Putt Harring ton did." "Who. Mr. Wost?" "Carolyn Harrington. Senator Harrington's daughter." "They get off together, sir?" "1 don't know. 1 suppose so." ' The detective arose purposefully. "Well, that's a tnlr enough place to start. Where's the phono. Mr. West? We'll get In touch with Miss Harrington." He paused tor a word of advice. "There'll be fifty men on this case Inside of an hour. That means reports, telephone calls, perhaps Identifications to be made. This Isn't a very good plnca for a headquar ters. I mean, something might leak out. You have a house In town, laven't you?" "Yes. but It Isn't stalled." "Well, It would give us a better ihance ot privacy than this club. Can you open It lust for a while. Ur. West?" "All right," said Ray Impatiently, lately? Did I know where you were?" "What did you tell him?" "That I hadn't the slightest Ides where you were. I hadn't. So you wore out buying tickets end things! My, my!" She blew a smoke rlnj nonchalantly. This was beyond Terry. "I'd better see what he wants ' "Call his house If you're inter estcd. I forgot the number bettei look It up," As soon as he hoard Ray West'l voice he know something wsi wrong; he sounded, as Putt had said, eager, on edgo. "Whore are you. Wlllott?" Torry told him. still wondering. "I've got to see you right away George Fox will come over for you Don't go away." Ho hung up. Terry looked at thi girl. "He acts drunk as an owl. Wanti to see me." He sat back and lit t clgaret, frowning slightly. And Oeorge Fox! had he said Oeorgt Fox' "You've done something terrible," Puff accuses. :'i'll bet It's somethlni sbout Allnlre?" "What do you mean somethlni about Allolro?" "The only person who can gel Ray up In the air Is Allaire. He'i absolutely lost with her." Wlllett didn't want to talk about her. Nolthor had Stove Perry.
