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

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

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
