psy. SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris has been sailed home from the bedside of his rother Rupert, ill of pneumonia in the Adirondacks, because Martin, hausfeur to Rupert's wife Hope, Kas heard a man's voles in Hope's room—a voice which Hope denies hearing herself. There is a mystery about the matter Dirk is deter= mined to . Hope is ill, ts in fear, yet will not leave her room nor see a doctor. Desperate, Dirk has ash her father, a minis- ter in El Paso from whom Hope ad- mits she is estranged, — Chapter 29 NEW MYSTERY OGAN was a quiet man, gifted with what was almost a protec- tive coloring. Looking at him, one could easily fail to notice him. No- ticing him, one found him not un- like one’s idea—seldom realized— of a country parson. Dinwiddie, his younger compan- ion, was stocky and muscled, and had trained as a boxer. One noticed him inevitably, but his genial smile, and rosy, boyish face were disarm- ing. Dirk sat talking with them both in the darkened car. They had not wired him in connection with Mar- tin’s adventure. “Though that has its signifi- cance,” said Logan, “in the light of what's happened since. “Last night at ten o'clock Dinwid- die and | were sitting here opposite Sales, When some one came uldn’t be sure ieee arty tba shadow, but de. Aikesdiigpman’s figure. It seemed to disappear once or twice, and then it came and stood in the open gates, and waved a hand. “It was just a flash, just a flicker, that wave. No one not looking for it, or watching the gates, could have seen it. A few seconds later a taxi slowed up at the curb, out of range of the lamp there by the delivery- entrance.” “What color was the taxi?” Dirk asked. “Green. Green and black. The fig- ure that had waved got in without seeming to speak a word. It. was Mrs. Joris. She wore a raccoon coat, and a small dark hat. Our instruc. tions were to follow, and we started at once. The taxi went through Yon- kers, into Manbattan, along the drive and the ramp... .’ “Did you lose it?” asked Dirk. “We did not. We stayed with it till it stopped at a brownstone in Forty-sixth Street. Here’s the num- ber. There's a speak in the base- ment, called the ‘Araby.’” ~~ Dirk knew. It was the house at which Hope had stopped in the green taxi that Monday night. “The lady got out,” said Logan, “and went up the front steps. Pretty soon the door opened and she dis- appeared inside. “I had no instructions to go fur- ther. 1 had followed her and | saw the place she went. You hadn’t spoken for more evidence than that. But in the light of what had hap- pened the night before, assuming the sort of evidence you might be after, and you being away. ...” “You went in, | take it,” said Dirk. “No, | sent Dinwiddie. He put on his telegraph messenger’s cap, we fixed up what looked like a tele- gram. Then we drove down the street a way, and Dinwiddie went back on foot. “ : 3) ph anette took up the account. “It was a private house broke up into apartments, two on a floor. I knew that from the bells on the mail-boxes, and the cards under ‘em. ‘The Cockspur Billiard Club was on ‘the firsf floor, and J rung that bell. ‘When. i bot ‘om! the club opened the door I Said, ‘Telegram for Strum.’ That was a name I'd seen on one ofthe! cards. When the boy grouched, ‘You rung our bell,’ | said, “Finger skidded’ He said, ‘Third floor, rear. And 1 run on up the stafr. | knew she wasn’t on the first floor. “I didn’t find her on the secofid either, Nobody answered one door, and I was kinder worried. “Well, anyhow, the second-floor front was dead, and there was just a crowd of fellers playin’ poker in the rear. None of ‘em was named Friiblingpfennig.” “Friblingpfennig was the name on the telegram,” Logan explained. “My own invention.” Dirk, who had slight experience with the professional detectives’ aversion to a brief tale, said to Din- widdie. “Get on, will you?” “We'll skip the third floor then,” said Dinwiddie. “I'd just started up By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON * the last flight when I heard some- body behind me on the stair, On the top floor I knocked at the first door ; I come to, and a voice — a man’s | voice—said, ‘Come in.’ Like that, No questions, or nothin’, “So 1 opened the door, and there she was—Mrs. Joris. She had off her coat, and she was sittin’ on the couch, The man was sittin’ beside | her, and he had hold of her hand.” “What man?” asked Dirk. “Well, he looked kinder foreign. | He was about my age — around twenty-five or so—and slim, and his dressin’ gown was black with gold snakes on it.” “Dragons,” said Logan. “All right. Anyhow, he was sur! prised when he saw me. He'd thought it was the man behind me, the waiter or whatever it was. He grabbed the telegram out of my hand, and gave the waiter an order | + +. in Italian, mostly. There was : some English swear-words in ft, like | he'd run out of Italian ones. And I | understood ‘Fazzini cocktail.’ “The lady ... Mrs. Joris... had gone over to the window, and stood dow was covered with curtains, and the shades were down. She couldn’t see a thing through it, but she stood there like she was lookin’ out. “It was a sort of den where they were ... battle-axes, and humidors, | and sofa’ pillows. There was a door leadin’ out of it into another room, It was open a ways, and | was tryin’ ; to see through it, when all of a sud- den | saw the man had busted open ! the wire, and was mad as the devil. “He blazed out, ‘This telegram’s for. ...' He couldn’t pronounce the name. He hadn't looked at it before he opened it, and he’d spent a good while spellin’ out the message. It ! said, ‘Willy has mumps,’ and was | signed, ‘Aunt Susy.’ “He jammed it back at me. Mrs. Joris had turned around, and was | Brooklyn looking at me. The man said, | Cincinnati ‘There’s no one of that name in the house.’ He seemed to know, so I went downstairs, and out.” ‘\ E WAITED across the street,” said Logan, “And in exactly half-an-hour Mrs. Joris came out. She looked up and down the street, then stepped into the green cab which had waited for her.” “She was suspicious, of course,” said Dirk. “Of the telegram perhaps,” agreed Logan, “but not of our car. She drove straight home, and we fol- lowed her. Of course we may as- sume she had not stayed as long as she had intended. Even so, all things considered, we have evidence of a type.” Logan cleared his throat. The young gentleman did not seem to relish the fac.s now that they had been brought to him. He remained silent, not moving, till Dinwiddie, who sat with him in the dark ton- neau of the car, pulled out a note- book, and turned his flash upon it. “A list of the people in the house,” Logan explained. “We've looked them all up, but it was Faz- zini himself she called on. Tony Faz- zini. He’s the owner of the Araby, and of the house; rents out bachelor- apartments. Lives alone on the top floor ... that’s where she went, ... and seldom appears in the speak. “Decent chap, so far as anybody knows. No record. There was a fight once in the Araby, that’s all. A brother of Tony’s got mad at somie- thing somebody said to a lady, and cleaned out the place so fast the police had to come in.” Dirk said, “Fazzini probably has a side-line, whether he’s got a rec- ord, or not. Looks as if he might be doing a nice little business in blackmail.” | “Hardly,” said Logan, stung by this aspersion on his thoroughness, “Tony’s been there ten years. There'd have been some smell of it.” Logan went on, #Besides, Faz- zini’s something of @ prince in his own world, and it’s not the under- world, either. There’s a rumor that he comes of a fine old Florentine family, and that Fazzini’s not all of his name, It’s not as if he were a common wop ... though one of his brothers is chef in a downtown hotel, and another, the one who cleaned out the Araby, is said to belong to some traveling circus, Which reminds me...” Dirk broke in. “Do you know this Fazzini when you see him?” “Oh, yes,” Logan replied easily. “Do you?" Dirk asked Dinwiddie. “Well, I’ve seen him. I'm sure this was him.” (Copyright, 1935 Margaret Bell Houston) Dirk learns more : cus peopie, tomorrows ow he lta ot Sescccenccccracccccacccs 1215—Magna Charta signed by King John at Runnymede—origin of English liberty. 1836—Arkansas admitted Statehood—population 51,100. to 1844—Celebrated patent for vuleanizing rubber issued Charles Goodyear. 1904—“General Slocum” disas- ter in New York harbor—1,000 ;Women and childgen en Today In History) | from Newfoundland, to; Sunday School picnic lost their lives. 1919—Capt.* Jolin “Alcock af Lieut, Arthur W.
