THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1986, ~ (NEVER MIND THE LADY ~ NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY by David Garé. SYNOPSIS: Terry Willett has called on Allaire West in Washing- ton, and been frozen out. Allaire disappeared that night. and Willett went on to New York, Fle, wiened d to returning to his job in the tropi- cal land where he first met Allaire, LaMarr. having tried to blackmail George Foz, Allaire’s young dipio- mat friend. has turned to her play- boy father. Ray West. And Ray cannot find Allatre; he has been talking from New York to his wife én Washington. and both are pretty much perturbed. It Chapter’ 28 ' ‘A CLUE AY’S lawyers were no help. They pointed out that no steps could be taken until the story was veri- fied or denied, and Allaire had to do that. Ray immediately set the machin. ery in motion. He called a firm of private detectives he'd used before They sent a man right over, and together they tried to sift the threads. The only thing they seemed to have to go on was a possible con nection between Allaire and a man named Willett. “We need a place to start,” said the detective. “You want her as fast as you can and picking up a trail in a city like Washington is no cinch on short notice. Now, do you seri- ously think she’s run off with Wil- lett?”, , “I don’t know what to think,” Ray said helplessly. “She was out at my country place a couple of mornings % Ray sounded eager, on edge. , &go, and she said she could do a “ great deal about something-or-other and she would. We were talking about her attitude toward men.” “Do you know anything about Willett, Mr. West?” He tried to think and the name seemed to stick in his mind. In the lucid light of mind-clearing shocks he had a chance to think deeply. He was convinced he'd heard that name before. Willett? Willett? And then some thing shone through the mists. He got up and strode about the room. “Now I've got it,” he said sudden. ly. “He was on my car. I'm sure it was he. Willett! Terry Willett! That’s it! I found him on my car and he rode to Washington with us. I was a little tight so I don’t remem- ber much about him, but he got off | at Washington.” He stopped in his stride. That didn’t help much; it was a known fact that Willett had been in Wash- ington. Ray said so gloomily. "Vv JELL, you can’t tell,” said the} | Fox’ detective. “Did he say any thing to anybody—leave the train alone, or what? Did anybody else} get off your car at Washington?” “Yes,” said Ray. “Puff Harring: ton did.” “Who, Mr. West?” “Carolyn Harrington. Senator Harrington’s daughter.” “They get off together, sir?” “I don’t know. | suppose so.” The detective arose purposefully. “Well, that’s a fair enough place to start, Where's the phone, Mr. West? We'll get in touch with Miss Harrington.” He paused for a word of advice. “There'll be fifty men on this case inside of an hour. That means reports, telephone calls, perhaps identifications to be made. This isn’t @ very good place for a headquar- ters. I mean, something might leak out. You have a house in town, haven’t you?” “Yes, but it isnt {affed.” “Well, itiwolid ive us a better chance of privacy than this club. Can you ai it just. for a while. Mr, West?™PiaPth ict. # “All right,” said Ray impatiently, “Tll attend to it. Now get busy after Puff Harrington.” | ‘ERRY had been out attending to a few last details and when he returned to his room late that after- noon he found Puff waiting for him. It was the first time he’d seen her that day. “What, she inquired severely, “have you been doing?” “Buying tickets and things” “No, I mean in other and darker days. Ray West is al: of a dither to “Who? Allaire’s father?” “None other. He had some queer notion I'd know where you were. He called Washington and was referred to Louise’s.

My. my!” She blew a smoke ring nonchalantly. This was beyond Terry. “I'd better see what he wants—" “Call his house if you're inter- ested. I forget the number—better look it up.” As soon as he heard Ray West’s voice he knew something was wrong; he sounded, as Puff had said, eager, on edge. “Where are you, Willett?” Terry told him, still wondering. “I've got to see you right away. George Fox will come over for you. Don't go away.” He Lung up. Terry looked at the girl, “He acts drunk as an owl. Wants to see me.” He sat back and lit a cigaret, frowning slightly. And George Fox!—had he said George “You've done something terrible.” Puff accused. “I'll bet it’s something about Allaire?” “What do you mean—something about Allaire?” “The only person who can get Ray up in the air is Allaire. He's absolutely lost with her.” Willett didn’t want to talk about her. Neither had Steve Perry. He'd asked them for God’s sake to change the subject. Willett felt like asking the same thing. That girl may have lingered in his mind, but the sooner he forgot her the better. There wasn’t any percentage in reminding himself how soft he got when he was around her. Willett didn’t believe in being soft; you never got anywhere that way—just left yourself open to aches and pains. He wished suddenly he was on. his way back right now, because every once in a while he had a feel- ing he’d like to see her again and that was the same as sticking his neck out.
