Chapter 21
Familiar Profile
JOYCE followed to th bedroom
doorway and when the light
was turned on she saw that here
too. a search had been made. Then
a new thought struck at her and
ahe turned and hurried back
cross the living room.
This was a front apartment
with two windows overlooking
the street and one on the side. She
went to one of those at the front
and pressed her face against the
glass.
Below the wet pavement was
sleek and shiny with the reflection
of the corner street light, the tops
of the parked cars glistening. The
branches of a maple tree, its
leaves mostly gone, swayed be
fore her in the wind, making a
tracery of light and shadow across
her face.
When she could find no sign of
life in the night she stepped to the
side window. Across an eight or
ten foot gap another apartment
house blocked her view and not
until she looked down did she see
him. It was the movement at first
that caught her eye, like a sliding
shadow, incomplete but definite.
It fled along the base of the oppo
site wall, turned, was caught
briefly in the rays of the street
light, and was gone, not towards
Dean Thorndike's parked car but
the other way, to safety.
Joyce caught her breath. That
fleeting glimpse had shown her a
alender. overcoated figure that
held a suggestion of tallness even
from this angle. There was some
thing sickeningly familiar about
that figure, about the instantan
eous flash of a profile as it turned
the corner of the building.
Ward Allen, Joyce thought. And
then, left with nothing but the
shiny sidewalk below her. refused
to believe it She must be mis
taken. She had barely seen him.
How could she be sure . .
She turned, aware that Delia
was beside her Not knowing how
long she had been standing there,
but certain the girl had also been
looking out, she felt her veins run
cold,
"Delia!"
' TJid you see him?" The girl
seized one arm. "Who was it?"
"I don't know."
' Delia looked up at her, face
tense and lips parted.
"Joyce."
1 don't," Joyce said. "I'm not
even sure I saw him. Something
moved a shadow or something
it might have been a man. How
can I tell?"
"I suppose you couldn't," Delia
said; then, her voice awed and
low: "What if the envelope had
been here?"
"But it wasn't. That's why we
decided to leave it at my place,
isn't it? So no one could find it?
And now we'll keep it right there
until you know what's to be done
with it."
Delia released her grip and
lowered her glance, and there was
something so forlorn about her
that Joyce took her in her arms.
Charming Hestor
fTHE little butler took Murdoch's
I hat and coat, and escorted him
ithrough the sitting room to the
library door. Hestor was sitting
on the leather divan, well
propped up with pillows, a maga
zine in her hand.
Thank you, Edward," she said.
"I think that will be all."
I Edward bowed and withdraw
with a: "Very well, Madam," and

arose and offered him both hands.
As she stood erect a curious
warmth stirred in him, rising
across his chest and up Into his
throat, and when he took her
hands his fingertips tingled.

speculating. She smiled again. He
grinned back.
"Well." she said, "am I all right,
do you think?"
Murdock coughed. "I think so."
he said, his embarrassment pass
ing, "and maybe even a little on
the gorgeous side."
"That's worth a drink, coming
from you."
She gestured to one side and he
saw the tea wagon that had been
used that morning. He busied
himself with Scotch and ice and
soda, and handed her a drink. She
sat down on the divan. He took a
chair opposite, got up again to
give her a cigarette and went
back.
"What's this about Ward Al
len?" he asked.
Her face sobered and she looked
Fast him. "I don't know, exactly,
liked Ward, and in Caragut he
wasn't altogether very successful.
That's what I wanted to talk to
you about. I'm not sure that I
should, although I know what
I'm about to say will be safer with
you than anyone else. ... I met
him not long after he arrived in
San Baria. It was Inevitable that
I should, since good-looking young
Americans are scarce and always
in demand at club parties and
dances."
She settled herself against the
pillows and looked in her glass.
"He'd come there to work for a
bank or some investment com
pany branch, hadn't he? The rep
resentative of some American
concern at any rate. Later when I
heard that he had lot his job, I
could understand why."
She drank again and put her
glass aside.

"tyHAT actually happened was
' ' that he was picked up by a
political group. As a matter of
fact, it was a pro-Nazi crowd
this was before Poland and they
were out to increase their influ
ence in any way they could. I
don't know just what Ward was
supposed to do; some sort of lob
byist, I think. The thing was, he
had a lot of dash and good looks
and clothes; he knew everyone
and was always around. His sort
could be valuable to almost any
sort of organization. In any case
he went along like that for quite
some time: then there was soma
mix-up and he was on his own
again. . . . Oh, yes" she hesitated
"I almost forgot to tell you that
Perry Clarke was part of th
same crowd."
"Oh." Murdock said, "so that's
how it started?"
"I don't know," Hestor an
swered, "but let me tell you th
rest of it I'm nearly finished. . . .
About that same time. Ward was
seeing quite a lot of some woman
who said she was an Italian
Countess the Countess de Fe
rani. She was a professional
charmer. Well she had a small
party one night. Ward stayed late
and there must have been a lot of
drinking because-at least from
what I heard when the Countess
woke up the next day she was
alone, and missing a pearl neck
lace and a sapphire and diamond
bracelet The police found them
in Ward's apartment I believe
he was still drunk when they
came. He was arrested, of course,
but somehow managed to get out
of the country before he was
tried."
'Perrv Clarke knew about IL
didn't he?" he asked.
Naturally.
"You think Clarka tried to
blackmail Ward?"
I dont know. That's why I
wanted to talk to you. If I told
the police that's what they would
think, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid so."
"And yet" Hestor eyed him
steadily "why should he? After
what I had given him?"

PLANS DEVELOPED
BY STANDARD OIL
President Farish Reveals
New Methods May Pro
vide Millions More Tires.
Washington, July 16. JP)
W. S. Farish, president of Stand
ard Oil company (New Jersey),
said today the petroleum indus
try had developed two new
methods of producing synthetic
rubber which may provide by
the end of next year 34.000,000
more automobile tires than had
been expected.
In another congressional
quarter, Senator Thomas (D.
Okla.) said he would press leg
islation to create an independ
ent government rubber agency
despite opposition from War
Production Chairman Donald M.
Nelson.
Would Aid Civilians
Farish told a house mines
sub-committee that the new rub
ber methods may provide 200,
000 tons of synthetic rubber in
addition to the 800,000 tons al
ready planned under the gov
ernment's rubber program.
Tires from this additional rub
ber, Farish said, would go to
ward meeting essential civilian
transportation needs.
"This is good news," Farish
said, "but it does not warrant
undue optimism on the part of
American motorists. There
should be conservation of rub
ber. Driving speeds should be
reduced to save wear on tires.
Unnecessary- driving should be
eliminated. We are not yet out
of the woods in this business of
synthetic rubber, and nothing
should be done to waste sup
plies that may turn out to be
critical."
The new methods, Farish said,
were known as the "flexon" and
"quick butadiene" processes.
Dry Ice Used
Flexon, he explained, is a rub
ber substitute on the butyl type,
already being made in experi
mental quantities from isobuty
lene by makeshift methods in
volving dry ice.
The quick butadiene method,
Farish said, involves production
of bunas rubber by using spare
equipment and odds and ends
of Junk to patch temporary faci
lities which could turn out rub
ber raw materials.
Farish said that after much
experimentation with wooden
tires, spring wheels and other
tire substitutes, the automobile
industry had reached the con
clusion that for the present time
there is no substitute for the
rubber tire.
He said while the government's
800,000-ton synthetic rubber
program was sufficient for the
military needs of the united na
tions, it would be neither large
enough nor soon enough for
ordinary non-essential civilian
motoring.
His company, the Standard of
ficial said, believed in any pro
gram "that will give our nation
the most rubber, in the shortest
time, with the least possible
drain on vital materials no
matter what process is used, no
matter what the material,
whether it is grain, or coat, or
oil. or all three."
Farish explained that the de-

It might seem foolhardy to attempt to fly a seaplane or flying boat overland across th United
States, since the ships have no wheels, but quite the contrary is true. There are several large bodies
of water which might be used as emergency landing "fields," but, according to experts of th Con
solidated Aircraft Company, builders of several types of seaplanes used both by the U. S. Navy and
th British, the landing would not be disastrous even on the groundl Th fuselage of the seaplane is
much more strongly built than that of the landplane, and affords a large measure of protection to th
crew in event ef a forced belly-landingl
