The difference between a lame-| q@uck and a continuing member of congress was aptly illustrated by the fact that Congressmen Burtness and Hall, who will leave office next March 4, held to their traditional stand while Congressman Sinclair, reelected last month, followed the people of the state into the anti-pro- hibition column.

Geraldine was going to leave me to be married, but this sudden dis- appearance and unexplained ab- sence makes one feel quite alarmed.” “When did you last see her?” Geraldine Foster, pretty young clerk in the office of Dr. Hum- phrey Maskell, disappeared on Saturday. Three days later her roommate, Betty Cantield, notifies Police Commissioner Thatcher Colt. Harry Armstrong, the miss- ing girl’s fiance, had not heard from her since Friday. Dr. Maskell says he returned to his office Saturday afternoon to find Ger- aldine gone. At the Foster apart- ment Colt learns from Betty that Geraldine had quarreled with the doctor, The Commissioner finds an old-fashioned key in the pocket of Geraldine’s coat, and part of a blackmail note, presumably in het handwriting, in the desk. Different ink than that in the apartment was used. It is learned that Betty quarreled with Geraldine, and that she was once engaged to Geraldine’s brother, Bruce.

He was in his late thirties, there was @ preco- cious patch of gray in the thick brown hair at his temples, he was recently and exjuisitely barbered and his expression was agreeable and yet — or so it seemed to me — with an intangible suggestion of the picaresque. His jaws were set in a long, strong line and his eyes were bright and restless. “Good evening, Mr. Commis- sioner,” he said pleasantly, his ¥oice deep and full. “Will you step in?” and as we followed him into the reception room, he ad- ded: “I suppose you want to talk to me about the girl in my office?

A partition separated this from the doctor’s private consulta- tion room, in which I made out a_desk, an examination table in white ‘enamel, a light-ray ap- paratus and other theapeutic par- aphernalia, Beyond this was a closed door which, as we learned later, opened into a small storage room at the back, with a window looking upon the rear yard of the house. The doctor invited us to be seated, lit a cigarette, and waited for Thatcher Colt to speak. “Forgive me for an abrupt be- ginning,” said the Commissioner, “but did some one just leave here as we entered?” é | “Yes, certainl; replied D tor Maskell, in his deep voice. “A poor misshapen child who might | ‘ave been left on my door-step by | here?” the fairies.
