psy “Weather By MARGARET BELL HOUSTON SYNOPSIS: Buccessively, tne mystery which surrounds Hope Joris, wife of Dirk Joris’ elder brother Rupert, seems to touch a young clown, a ‘young cowboy, and @ restaurateur named Fazzini in New York. Dirk is determined to solve it and to help Hope—against her wishes, apparently. He has learned of ‘Hope's secret visit to Fazzini from two detectives, with ‘whom he 18 talking in the car from which they watch the Joris estate on the Hudsou. Chapter 30 SINISTER CURRENTS Wee you Ke6w Fazzini from ers?” inquired pi hoe os ;for instance?” “Thiy (-p6@het,” smiled the astute, iddies Dirk was silent and Logan said, “I have also the information re- garding Merritt's Wonder Show. You asked me for it some time ago, but it took time. The show went broke, it seems, and disbanded, down in Rome, Georgia. Akin, an as- sociate of miue in Atlanta, got the facts from the circus book-keeper before the troupe melted away. While he was. not in time to find Merritt, the book-keeper told him all there was to know about Torrobin and the clown, “J. Torrobin, he was listed, and his boy, the clown, was known as Roddie. Here's Akin’s letter. Shall 1 hold the flash so you can read it?” “Tell me what he says,” Dirk an- swered. Somehow, he had little in terest ncw in Torrobin and the clown. “You know, of course,” said Lo- gan, “that this J. Torrobin and his boy are the same*pair you had me investigate as T Jones and his son, after the rodeo. I-found then they gave practicaliy no address at all to the rodeo booker, ani disappeared after the rodeo closed. In the circus they had no address either, joined it while it was in Jersey, and lived with the troupe. “‘It was the boy's dare-devil rid- ing that got them the circus job. (Logan was reading from the letter now) “Merritt was ander the weather at the time, and Torrobin becanie a sort of sub-manager while the show was in Jersey. Torrobin was heartily disliked by the troupe, though the boy was rather a favor- ite, especially with Sefiorita Leonor, the equestrienne. The boy was indif- ferent to Leonor, which was just as well. Leonor’s previous love had been Carlo, the lion-tamer, and Carlo Was not receptive to any change of heart on Leonor’s part. “‘The boy was injured during his act the night the show started south. Merritt, however, had had no inten- tion of taking the act south with him, because of Torrobin’s unpopu- frrity. Tho troupe dated all its bad luck from the Liring of Torrobin. “‘There was certainly bad luck a-plenty, rainy weather not being the least of it. Then, just before the show left, both Carlo and Leonor disappeared. Nobody knew why at the time, but they realized what foresight the two had shown when Madame Chowdhury, the fortune- teller, was arrested further down the road on charges of blackmail. Carlo and Leonor were involved, and the authorities were also out for Torrobin. The four had been con- ducting a form of the old badger game, I understand. Leonor was petite and pretty, and acted as a de- coy. “Merritt's circus had been a elean little show up till then. Mer- ritt was already sick, and pretty mear broke, and the business of Chowdhury finished him. Nobody knows where he went. “*Torrobin, Leonor and Carlo, are still at large. Leonor, it is thoug8t, escaped to her home in Rio de Jaueiro. Carlo may have gone with her. Torrobin may still be in New York. A boy who looked and rode like Roddie, ine clown, is said to have pulled down big ae in the rodeo there lately. a! ELL, said Logan, “that’s about all. This J. Torrobin or T. Jones seems to be pretty much of a jinx. Want me to try to get more About him?” Dirk said no. And since their ‘watch at the gate had accomplished its end— “Not the end you think,” he heard himself say—it might be discontinued after tonight. “Mrs. Joris is too ill,” he said, “to go out... to need attendance of that kind.” Dinwiddie remarked, “I thought she looked sick. thought she walked like it.” In his room Dirk read again the letter from Logan's associate. It con- tained no further allusion to Sefi- I orita Leonor, and no allusion at all’ ‘to any equestrian substitute she niay bave had. He had not ques- tioned e's account of herself, had not donbtedthat she was a par- i ? —— Today In History Pesccccccecesesececceces: 1774—First permanent settle | ment in Kentucky made at Hai rodsburg by Virginians—destroy ed by Indians but rebuilt the next year. 1858—Lincoln, publican nomination for U.

Silas Devine—if such & person existed—must be puzzling now over the telegram regarding a lady named Hope to whom he must speed at once. Or it might be that he knew indeed a Hope—a relative, a daughter, even—whom it had seemed safe enough at this distance for one in difficulties to impersonate. Could not the circus have stopped in El Paso? Might not Leonor have: learned there of one Hope De- vine? Leonor. Carlo and Leonor, thought Dirk. Dirk knew now on which Fazzini Hope had called. Her visit had not been to Tony, but to Carlo, Tony’s brother, the brother who had cleaned out the Araby, the brother wag in hiding in Tony’s house, and Hope had crept out to him by night, almost too ill to stana, In hiring Logan and Dinwiddie Dirk had wanted her protected, not accused, Even tonight when these findings had proved so inexorably her place in the puzzle, he had not been willing to give them the key to that place. Logan and Dinwiddie had laughed at Martin's account of an intruder the night before. They believed it now only in the light of Hope's visit to Fazzini’s house. He had come to her one night, and had almost been discovered. She had gone to him the next. That was what they believed. HEY did not know what he— Dirk—knew, that the man she had gone to see did not dare leave his room, would not risk discovery of any sort. Dirk knew more than this. He knew that Martin was over- wrought, A man who imagines it his duty to shoot when no such duty has been assigned him, may also imagine other things. Martin, Dirk told himself, had never heard a Voice at all. In any case, whoever, whatever she was, Hope—he could not think of her by any other name—was un- questionably in trouble, and ill. She might have taken part in Madame Chowdbury’s schemes ignorantly, might even be innocently involved, and unable to extricate herself. (“My shield is scarred,” she had said, holding the big book in her arms.) He did not know, of course, the name of her people in Rio de Janeiro, She would not give it to him, would spend her strength in denial and terror if he should ask. Strange that he who was perhaps her only friend should seem her greatest enemy. Still, certain facts remzined. Guil- ty or innocent, she was ill. Rupert could not come to her, nor could her family. She belonged to him, alone. Now that he knew her secret, he could watch over her with clearer eyes. . Graves came the next morning, and learning from Dirk of young Mrs. Joris’s reluctance to see a phy- sician, cameto her room ostensibly to give her reassuring details about her husband. Hope, he reported afterward to Dirk, had listened attentively. “She was in bed, and I ordered her to stay there. The trouble? Anemia, low blood-pressure, general run-down condition. Danger? .. . Well, yes, if we don’t get hold of it. accepting Re. ator from Illinois (which he did; not win), uttered the historic “A’ accept membership in the Inter-}more than 500 the ‘ But I think we will. “Rupert, now. He’s better, on the whole. But he’s making no fight. What interest he appears to take in living comes in the form of worry over his work. Certain cases he has on hand. I want either you or San- ford to go up tomorrow, and re assure him.” Dirk asked Sanford to go. The work had piled on his own desk, and it was nine o’clock that evening be- fore he dismissed a tired secretary and went home. It was snowing again, steady flakes that froze against his wind- shield. Things were quiet when he reached the house, only Timothy stirring about, preparing to lock up. Mrs. Joris, Timothy said, was not so well, had had a sort of sinking spell. They had called Dr. Graves. That was at six o'clock. She was better now. Mary was with her. Dirk went up to his room. He was undressing for bed when the door-bell rang. He heard Tim- othy, who had gone upstairs, come down again. Timofhy’s knock sound- ed presently on Dirk’s door. “It’s the Rev. Silas Devine,” said Timothy. “He’s just arrived, sir...- by plane.” (Copyright, 1935 Margaret Bell Houston) Dirk pleads a difficult case, toe morrow, { ment cannot endure p fee slave and hali-free. | 1888—Edison cylinder type phonogram. perfected phonograph, 1903—Ford Motor Company or- ; | ganized. | 1933~Blue | born.
