They met again in Washington, and the meeting was a failure. But La Afarr is truing to blackmail Ray West, AllalreTs father, over the tropical shooting, and Hay is truing to And Allaire, and throtah Puff Harrinaton who chased willett to Neu York. Ray has found Terry instead of his daughter. Oeorge Fox of the diplomatio eervtce is on his wau to see Terry for Ray. Chapter 29 TEN8E MOMENT IT WAS around fifteen minutes later that there was a knock on the door and the knob was rattled Imperatively. Puff jumped up quick y. her lips forming the words: "Who Is it?" "George Fox, I guess," he said, looking at her In surprise. She skipped discreetly across to the door of the bath, touched her lips with her forefinger In warning, and then closed the door behind her. Willett smiled slightly. Hurray tor the United States Senate; he'd forgotten about that. Her action made him feel a party to backdoor Intrigue. He went over and opened the room door. Fox and two other men were standing there. "Hullo, George!" he greeted. "This Is a surprise. The Ambasssdor from Waybackl How are you, boyT" They grinned tensely at each other and shook hands. The other two men brushed by Willett and Bent Into the room. They looked keenly around and suddenly one of them uttered triumphant exclamation and picked op Puff's clgaret case from the table. It was a thin gold thing with I small vanity mirror set In platl sum on the cover. Terry regarded them unfavorably. "Who are those birds. George?" Fox closed the door behind him. "They're private detectives. Terry. They want to ask you a few Questions. Allaire West has disap peared, and her father has an Idea you know something about It" "And he does," said one of the taen, holding up the case. "This Is no mac's trinket. There's been a woman here. Where Is she, buddy?" "Walt a minute," ordered Fox. He turned to Terry. "Don't get angry, aon. Allaire's been missing two days. Have you any Idea where she 1st", "Disappeared?" repeated Terry. Something seemed to chase up and down bis spine. "Disappeared 1" The detectives were Inspecting the room. One of them started tor the bathroom door. Willett acted swiftly and headed the man off. Puff bad put blm In a rotten position. "Hold on!" he said, "who asked you In?" "Oh I So that's where she Is!" "Terry I !' It was Fox's voice, despairing, disappointed, the voice of a man stricken. "It Isn't Allaire." said Willett steadily. "Yeah? We'll believe It when. we see her." 1 "It Isn't Allaire," repeated Willett steadily. "1 give you my word." "Well then, what's the harm If we see who it le?" "Because," said Willett. "It's none of your damned business. "That don't suit me, began the detective, but Fox stepped In. "I know Mr. Willett and he's a straight shooter. If su says It Isn't Miss West It Isn't I'll take the rev ponslblllty with Mr. West." Thore was a brief discussion. Clearly, the operatives thought It their duty to make certain, but fi nally they left. "Pardon it, Terry. We're all wop ried sick. Allaire disappeared right after you left the house the other night and Ray bad an Idea you knew something about IL You don't so we'll have to start over again Let's go. You're needed." IN TUB tail Fox explained swiftly. ' He'd come to New York to warn Ray West that LaMarr was contem plating blackmail. He found LaMarr had already seen him. "That business at the docks haa coma up. LaMarr's threatening to release the story " "What kind of a story?" "Hlldei died of bis wounds, Terry. That cLanges things. And nobody could prove why Allaire shot but you." "The bell he died! He pulled through. Probably back double crossing everybody right and left again." "But, Terry bow could you know?" "I don't get It" "You left town. Hlldei wss still fllrtlnr wh death then." "Oh." said Willett That's right I FATALITIES CUT 6AIEM, J.n. 16. T Th annual report of th UU dtptrtmtnt today rvreaJwi thut motor vohtcU ftUUtltt In Oregon dtcrajl from 819 In 1934 to 250 in 1935.

They thought he'd left town on the "Perajalbo." "And 1 let the cue flip pest." Poi shook hie head wearily. "We can't prove LaMarr wrong and Ray hasn't enough time to take the chance. LaMarr wants thirty thousand dol lars right away. What I can'l figure Is why LaMarr approached me be fore he went after Ray. That's both ered me, something tunny about It." Willett laughed shortly. "It's simple. He wanted to be sure of how much yon knew. You prob ably appeared on the scene Just as be was about to spring this story and ha wanted to make sure nobody could call bis bluff." "Bluff!" Willett put a hand briefly on the attache's knee. "Let me take care of this, Oeorge. That girl saved my life and neither she nor anybody connected with her is going to suffer tor it. Where can I find this LaMarr IU damn soon convince him he's got no story. Forget him, but about Allaire." Fox swept a hand across bis fore head. . "I haven't slept In two days, I'm so afraid she's cracked up some where the thought drives me crasy. She lovee to drive taat, Terry, and she can't beat that game forever. She doesn't care about any thing else In life. Her parents starved her for affection when she wes young." His voice faltered a moment, then be gained control of himself and went on. "She's often gone off b herself In the past and turned u when she was ready. That's mi hope now. But It seems tied up with this demsnd by LaMarr Terry I've got to find her. I've got to." Willett bed never seen this com posed, strong man flustered before: he was always so steady under Are. "Easy, George," he said. "Easy be damned. I'm In'love with that girl. You don't know bow I feel." "No," said Willett thoughtfully. "I suppose not" AND again that haunting voice oi Tommy Speede with the same despairing note as was even now In George Fox's tone quivered In his ears: You don t know anything about those things, Willett You're a fighter. I saw you go after a man tonight" Fox was calm again. "You haven't told me how you happened to be In the States. They spike you down there?" "I spiked myself." "And the Job?" "Still waiting." Willett looted out of the window at the long promen ade of llghta that flashed down the avenue. "I'm going back soon." "What's the sense? You can't get Into Proplonotre. It's blocked and at war." , 'I can get to the capital though, and I have plenty to do there. Have to get this contract reapproved and things under way. Need new appro priations from the coffee company." That was all. Fox relapsed Into sllenoe. They arrived before Ray West's town bouse. It was a One grey atone building, tall and nar row; the windows on the ground floor were protected by bars. Ray's valet a silent little Jap, let them In and they went down a long ball to a big study. Tbe house waa still and seemed pervaded with an air of desertion and stuffiness as though It hadn't been used tor a long time. Allaire's handsome father was walking slowly up and down a hearth rug, smoking a cigar. "Here be Is, Ray said Fox. You've met him Terry Willett?" Ray didn't make a- move for a moment 'My men phoned there waa a woman wltb him. but you wouldn't let. them Investigate. I don't like that Interference, George." "Terry said It wasn't Allaire," Fox returned quietly. "And his word's good enough for both you and me." , ' They looked at each other, and then Ray's glsnce fell. He shook hands with Terry. Can you help ua? George said you knew all about the facta of this rottsn business." "I know enough," said Willett Where's LaMarr?" "He's coming here soon. I'm about ready to pay blm off and get rid ol that worry at least" "You won't pay blm a nickel." Ray looked doubtful. The front door bell pealed dis tantly up the ball. Ray looked at his watch. "LaMarr." he said. rCopyrtpftt. nil. y DaWi Oartk) Carteret. Vs., eomes back Ints the picture, Monday. APPROVE BUYING E WAaKTSOTON. Jan. 1.
