Read too many detective stories. Raw too many movie. "But you're away off. The man'i her cousin!" Carol an swered. Danny paused and frankly lis tened. If they were talking about Bhoda I "I don't car what you say," Mra. King went on. "I've got proof. Look at this." And she drew out the torn telegram. "And this. All gangsters look like gen tlemen, nowadays. You saw how they dressed in the movie Just now. Well, tak a look at those headlines." Denny, screened by a made-up berth between him and Carole's section, had not caught every word; but h had heard the gist of It Ha began to think back. There was no doubt the King woman really believed he was a kidnaper. She probably had seen or heard the fracas at the North Station in Boston. She had set Carol to questioning Peace about her relationship to Denny. Now she had torn telegram sheet Could she have found the one he threw away? What had h writ ten? Something about being spot ted by female pest Well, wasnt she? Ha began to smile. The rea Illa tion that dear Cousin Bertrand had been taken for an awful-looking gangster made him almost chuckle. Then he grew serious. This accounted for Carole's ap parent interest in hun and in Peace. She was afraid for the child! Nonsense. She wouldn't fall for a thing like that Or would she? Anyway, it was too good to miss. Denny was no eavesdrop per, but this might be serious. He could picture Carole's honeyed head bending over the newspaper. "Five-year-old girl kidnaped from Fall River!" shrilled Mrs. King. "There you axe! I heard th I newsboys shouting it, yesterday I morning, but didnt connect it 'with this until afterwards." Sb , read on: ""Last seen by play i mates, talking to a strange man ' who offered her candy sticks'." . Now, Denny thought indignant ily, he would sot dare give Peace that lltti Jar. He leaned forward i to hear more clearly. "'. . . description obtained I from children, the police are look ; tng for a man about 24, medium height, medium weight sandy haired, with glowing dark eyes. He wore a brown coat' . . . Surely youll admit the brown coat Miss Love. Why, it all tits Uk a glove." Th glowing dark eyes fit" Carol said. "But th rest is ab- . surd. That picture doesn't mean a thing taken when this what's-her-name was 2 years old. Be sides, this is a Gwendolyn Kelly. ' The kiddy's name is Peace." "Says whol Says they. Did you ' lever beer of a baby named Peace? ' (Did you?" "The little girl answers to it" Carole defended stubbornly. ' "They're taking her to sea her . grandmother in Los Angeles. I got that much out of her." "Sure you did. Had to have . some sort of a story, didn't they? But she's afraid of that Lowell . dame, poor little soul. Th grand- '. mother is probably one of th '. gang too." Why should he explain he was ' not a kidnaper? Just because one was on the loose in Massachu- setts? Just because he'd inadver- itently picked up the wrong child iin th depot? That pest needed a ilesson. He grinned and went out ; as he had coma, unobserved. He . would stop Mrs, King before she .gummed up the works and had ' ihim arrested. J3ACK at his section, he donned his camel's hair coat pulled his lhat over his eyes, stuck a hand in hls pocket over the tin covered candy jar, and hoped he looked like a bandit Luckily, the for ward part of the car was screened 'by several curtained sections. He Ihoped there'd be no aftermath to the little scene. Stalking up to the two women, bending over the newspaper, he pushed forward the glinting metal lend whispered hoarsely, "Don't you movel" Then, as Carole's head went up and Mrs. King slumped back, staring, he sat I down on the opposite seat Jerk iing at his pocket, t "Mercy!" The beady eyes bulged. "Quiet! Don't either of you I make a noise. Now give me that paper." He glanced at the head lines briefly. The photograph might have been anybody's baby. Then he laughed. "Look this is the stick of candy I enticed the Kelly child with. Only youll note this hasn't been opened. Now, what's all this nonsense you've been telling Miss Love? I demand an explanation and an apology." Mrs. King swallowed. "I saw what I saw, and I heard what I heard. A whole crowd chased you onto the train." "I lost Peace, and in finding her, picked up the wrong child." "Is it likely," Mrs. King asked Carole, "he'd be put in charge of a girl he didn't know any better than that? The child told ma her self you were just an Old Man. Sha had never even seen you un til" "That's tru. Her father hap ipenes to be employed in the same (office with me." Denny felt him self growing hot under tha collar. I "I do htm a favor and get mis taken fat a crook," H fished in WONDERFUL eormtaKT. 140. NSA SVIC. INC. his pockets for one of the Arm's cards. Nothing ther. He'd emp tied his pockets, he recalled, be fore leaving home. "How do you explain this?" Mrs. King showed him the crum pled telegram. "Sounds pretty fishy to me, the whole thing." Denny felt he wasn't doing so well, after all. Not that he cared a hoot what this pest thought of hlmj but with Carole sitting there silent! "I'm sure hs can explain it Mrs. King," Carole now spoke up. "If you'd asked the Western Union whom it had been sent to, that would settle things, wouldn't it?" "Yes, why didn't you?" Denny chlded. Mrs. King squirmed. "They'll probably tell the police." "Good heavens, you didnt tell the police!" "And why not? Every good citi zen should try to protect little children. That child doesn't be long to you, or the Lowell woman. She is, it's plain to be seen, judg ing by her clothes, a member of some wealthy family. "I hear her cry 'I won't got I won't go!' I see you boarding a trans-continental train to escape the pursuit of the mob. What am I to think? Especially when you separate, for safety no doubt in this big city, and later I hear your supposed girl friend talking to a gangster, if I ever saw one, near a telephone booth right her in the station. "Do you know what he said?" Denny shook his head. This was I Bciuag uiitJicr ana uiicjtcr. xic saia, 1 a swear in court on a Biacic of Bibles, 'Stay with me.
