ON THE SPOT , ', CHAPTER VI rjAWSON walked slowly to the fireplace and picked the photo graph off the ledge for closer ex amination. Yes. those features were unmistakable. The presence of the photo here placed the dead soldier squarely into the mystery, adding further complication. Just where did he fit in with the girl Carole Fiske? His name Dawson had to think twice before recall ing it was Private Bernard Skrol... "What do you want?" Dawson whipped around he hadn't heard anyone coming along the halL Framed in the archway leading Into the room was a tall, heavy man with bushy eyebrows and harsh features. His resem blance to the unfriendly house keeper who had let him in was almost startling. His right hand was burled deep in a sport jacket pocket. "I came to see Miss Fiske." ' T know you said a message from Lemoy," rasped the other. "Spill it, smart guy!" Dawson's smile faded. . "Go plumb to hell!" he said. . The man took a step toward th investigator, lifting his hand in his right coat pocket sugges-UveV- But he halted as a girl entered ttie room. : One glance told Dawson she was Carole Fiske the girl of the ex ecuted Lemoy's snapshot. "What's going on here, John?" her voice cut in sharply. : "This guy says he has a message for you from Lemoy I told him he better speak up or else , . ." "Shut up, John, you're acting like" a fool," she said. Then turn ing to Dawson, "Who are you?" "You wouldn't know me by name I just happened to meet Lenioy a few days ago in Halifax. When I mentioned that I had to visit Chicago on business for my company he asked me to give you a buzz and . . . must I tell him, too?" he pointed to the glowering John. - '; "Don't mind him, go on with fh rnocjqopj" i "Well-1-1, it wasnt much but I i thought it might be nicer to drop ! around and see you in person. He said to tell you the other half of the- reunion date couldn't make it but he really missed her and plentyi That was all except . . ." Dawson grinned, "that he warned me you are NOT Hedy Lamarr." "Was there nothing else? Did he' say where he was going?" .'- "No," shrugged Dawson. "He apparently wasn't sure where he ' would be going. He gave me the Impression it would be a long trip. A swell fellow, Lemoy, I tared him very . . ." "You're a liar!" snarled the man galled John. SOMETHING snapped in Daw son. His role of good-natured aalesman- vanished in a surge of hatred. With one quick step he came within range and his right fist lashed out with sledge-hammer force. John crashed over backwards, one of the old-fashioned chairs breaking under his weight As he hit the floor, Daw son dived one hand clutching the - downed man's throat while a knee pinned the pocketed hand on the floor. i'When I lift my knee," he ' growled into John's ear, "pull out that hand empty or 111 flatten that nose on your ugly face." His 1 knee lifted a few inches and John's hand slid slowly out of the pocket . With a quick flip, Dawson rolled the big fellow on his side, dipped into his jacket and came out with a black automatic. Straightening up, he gave his clothes a quick brushing and walked to the girl. ''When I go," he said, handing (her the gun, "give this back to your boy friend better advise him to stop playing with this thing." His tone lowered, "IH be at the Eddington Hotel." ' Back in his hotel room, Dawson let the cold water tap run on the bleeding knuckles of his hand. The girl interested Dawson. Of course, he had had little time to study her and the conversation (had been limited. But she was really a beautiful creature. And tfrom what he had been able to judge she didn't seem the hard Hype. Yet she was sure of herself. Of one thing, however, Dawson Iwas certain she would get in touch with him somehow, here at the hotel. He couldn't have said enough to do more than arouse her interest about Lemoy yet . . . what made John so positive that Dawson had been lying? 1 ' Could he have heard of Lcmoy's Ideath? That was hardly likely. 'Everything had been closely su pervised in Newfoundland. Any ' way, he had said he met Dawson In Halifax . . , ah, that was prob tbly it John knew Lemoy had not been in Halifax "a few days ago". ' Even so, the girl would ponder sver the visit of the friendly sales man and wonder if, perhaps, he really had met Lemoy in Halifax ( . . . the telephone cut shrilly into the room's silence. f)AWSON controlled the exclte ment in his voice as he picked up the receiver. It was the girl. "May I meet you and have a talk tonight?" "Certainly . . . anywhere and anytime." "Thank you." she paused for an Instant. 'Then let us maxe it ifl:30 at Cottage Grove and 95th lutrerte you see, I'm afraid the I Eddington might be watched." "1 understand. Miss Fiske," Dawson interrupted. "Nine-thirty it will be. I'll slip out the rear way just in case anybody follows me and spots you. Right?" "Right," she replied. It was 9:15 when Dawson put on his coat and hat As an after thought, he reached into his suit case and took out a revolver. Taking the stairs with the red fire lights, ho found his way to the ground floor. Unobserved, he came to a double door with a bolt and spring lock on the inside. Sliding back the bolt, he turned the lock and one of the doors opened onto a paved lane. Dawson stepped out, turning around to pull the door shut be hind him. As he did so. he heard an automobile's gears grind and a motor spring to life. From the comer of one eye he saw a brown mass rushing along the lane and the flash of a gun . . . Dawson plunged headlong to the narrow sidewalk from the second stop, bullets whistling into the heavy glass of the double door! It all happened in a split-second but Dawson was on one knee as the rear wheels passed . . . like a sprinter at a track meet he dashed after the car and leapt onto the rear bumper. He just had time for one glance through the rear glass before the car lurched with tires screaming around a corner and Dawson tumbled hard to the street. Blood was streaming down his !ace and he knew his knee had seen hurt but he didn't even hear lie chatter of the curious crowd athering around as he rose pain fully to his feet. Burning into his nind was what he had seen in (hat one flashing glimpse through the auto window . . . two men in the front seat and between them looking back directly into his eyes the mysterious Carole Fiske.
