I think," Cummingj said. -at suspects someiningi "Wonder how I could get out ide auick." Asev laid. "You lot any idea where the nearest door ta from here "By the time you find your way through this maze of halls," Cum roings said, "that gnome will be an old gray-bearded ogre with arthritis. Why not Jump him through the window? It seemed the simplest way, and It probably would have been, if the window hadn't stuck tight and resisted every effort on the part of Asey and the doctor to raise it "Wa-el," Asey picked up a pair of the doctors surgical scissors and evened off a broken finger nail, "that's thatl I never laid eye on him, did you?" Cummings snapped off the flash light and tossed it, with an excla mation of disgust, onto the bureau. "I had a fine view of two legs," he said. "He's tall for a gnome, and I think I saw some wings on his ankles. And if he kept up the Eace he started off at he's now alfway to Boston. You might have one of Hanson's men posted to catch him if he peeps around again." "I mean to," Asey said. Tm also goin' to locate Jennie, an' find that sir! Freddy" "Wait," Cummings said. "Walt second before you go, Asey." "Look, Doc, you been givin' us blazes for dallyin so, an' now you "Yes. ves. but that was when t had a personal interest in this. Now that I know it Isn't Miss Olive," Cummings removed his coat and hung it over a chair back, "my interest is purely profes sional. I wanted to warn you about Jonathan Rankin, Asey." "Warn me about him?" Asey asked in some surprise. "What for?" "Frankly, I'm amazed to notice that you're on such good terms with him," Cummings said. "He's a slippery individual, Asey. I've treated him several times, and I've sent him a dozen bills, and he's never paid the slightest at tention to them. That's why I in quired so tenderly after the state of his health just now. I thought if I accented the 'oil' in bilious, he might take the hint. I don't trust that man, and I never have, and I don't think you ought to do any more confiding in himl" The doctor was ao vehement bout It that Asey raised his eye brows. "I wouldn't say I confided In him, Doc. He was the first person I landed on here that I'd ever seen before, an' I asked him questions. He once dropped in at the house a couple of years ago with a letter of introduction from some friend of Bill Porter's. He was lookin' up the Mayo family, an' Jennie give him an earful. He seemed all right to me. I don't think I'd care much for his undiluted company on a month's fishin' trip, say, but he seems pleasant enough. I had quite an entertainin' time with him that afternoon, discussin' va rious an' sundry Mayoa." "Oh, he can be charming as hell!" Cummings said. "My wife thinks he's wonderful, and posi tively distinguished looking. But I tell you, he's a slippery custom er, and I wouldn't trust him an Inch. I don't like men who go around stroking their Vandyke beards anyway. And leering!" Line On Rankin "IVHO'D you ever see him leer ' at?" Asey inquired. "Why last summer he used to hang around the back stage door at the South Pochet Theater you know that bam place my wife's so crazy about Used to drag me there every week." Cum mings rolled up his shirt sleeves. "Well. I've seen Rankin there any number of times, standing and leering at all the girls in the dressing room. Used to make me sick!" "Idea you're tryln" to get across Is that you don't like Rankin, huh?" "1 don't trust him," Cummings returned. "There's a difference. All right, all ncht, look quizzical if you wantt You don't have to believe me!" "I was Just thlnklnV Asey said, "you sent me a bill last January, an' to the best of my knowledge it's still sittin' on the de.sk In my living' room. I forgot it" "Sometimes you're so damn charitable about people," Cum mings said, "youanake me speech less! You take fny advice, Asey, and watch out for your friend Tiankin. I'll call you when I'm through here." There was no one In the Inn'a living room when Asey returned there. A little hand bell had been placed on the desk, he noticed, and he rang it, but no one came. "The service here," Asey mur mured, "is simply wonderful!" Walking over to the phone boolh, he opened the door, pulled at the cord of the overhead elec- SABOTAGE REPORTED ON BONNEVILLE LINE The Dalles, Dec. 10.

They usually did. But as far as clues visible to the naked eye were concerned, Mrs. Doane had done a fine, efficient Job erad icating them. Asey shrugged and walked the length of the living room and down the corridor leading from a door to his left Almost at once, he bumped vio lently into Jennie, bustling along and muttering to herself. "Where you been?" he held out a hand to steady her. "Land's sakes!" Jennie said In a harassed voice. "You've knocked the breath out of mel Asey, I never! I never in all my life! ' "What' the matter?" "Well, you let me get Into one of those chairs," Jennie said, "an' get pulled together, an' I'll tell you. Here. Come over to this sofa." Asey helped her get settled, and then asked her again what the matter was. "Well! I come In from the porch," Jennie said, "an what do you think, Asey? Mrs. Doane had only got to callin' the doctor then) She was Just askin' for his num ber. What she'd been doin' all the time after she left us, 1 don't know! So I said I'd talk to him, an' I did. I told him what'd hap pened, an' to hurry over quick." Asey nodded. "I wondered aboul that an' why he mentioned you an" not her. What then?" Surprise For Freddy "VTHEN I put the phone down, 'she asked me if I'd had any supper, an' I told her Just some sandwiches at the drugstore, an' right away she had me by the arm an' was sweepin' me out to the kitchen. 'Washington,' says she, 'you get busy an' get Mrs. Mayo a good meal. And,' says she, 'tell her all about your voyage in the barque Dexter,' And out she wentl Well!" "Didn't you follow her?" "I started to," Jennie aaid, "but Washy plumped me down onto a chair, an' I tell you, Asey, you might Just as well try to get your self away from an octopus as him!" "Uh-huh. I noticed nut there In the woods," Asey said, "that Washy was kind of a hard man to get away from." "Hard? I never seen nothln' like him! Asey, I followed the barque Dexter from Boston around Cape Horn to Sydney, an' then," Jennie said wearily, "all of the way backl I been through two mutinies, 1 have, an' I lost all the masts three times. Maybe four times. An' the beef got weevilly! She was awful up set Asey!" Asey gave it as his opinion thai practically any ship would havt been upset under the circum stances. "I don't mean the barque Dex ter. Aseyl I mean Mrs. Doanel Somethin's wrong. I think it's th daughter." "Where I she, anyway?" Asej asked. Jennie shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't seen any sign of her. I tried so hard, Asev. to set awav from that man an' And out what Mrs. Doane was doin I But every time I got up, he sat me down. Asey, what you laughin' about? It wasn't a oil funny!" "Maybe It ain't funny to you now," Asey said, "but in a day oi so it'll probably hit your funny bone, too. How d you manage U get away?" "Ho went Into the pantry to get me some pie, Just now, an' I run out! Asey. there's the girl, nowl" Jennie pointed toward the front door. Freddy Doane came In, took off her dripping raincoat, rolled it up and slung it over the corner desk into the cupboard beyond. "Are you two still here?" She tried to sound severe, but she ob viously was in too buoyant a mood to be at all successful. "Look. I know you're from around here somewhere, and you've made a mistake and got this place mixed up with some other inn. But if Mother finds you here after ahe's sent you away once, she'll simply raise the roof! Mother's in a talky state tonight anyway. Won't you oe lamtu ana dash oil before she sees you?" "Asey," Jennie said blankly, "you know what I think? I think that girl don't know a thing about Miss Olive's bein' killed! She don't know a thing about what's been goin' on here!" "About what?" the girl walked over to them quickly. "What did you say?" Asey watched Jennie's face as she looked at the girl. Washy had exasperated his cousin, and Mr Doane puzzled her. but the daugh ter was apparently someone more to her liking A great deal more, Asey mentally amended, as Jen nie held out her hand to the girl. "Come over here, dear, an sit down. You don't know. I can see you don't Well, Miss Olive's been kii tilled.'
