De lis, Se FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 , 1937. SYNOPSIS: When Neill, a young federal agent, get: to Baltimore for a week’s vacation with his girl, he finds Janet won’t break a din- ner date with Prescott Fanning. Peeved, Neill says Fanning is too old for Janet, too slick and spends too much money. They quarrel and part, Neill sett’ng out to check up on Fanning. He finds him at his hotel and strikes up a bar friendship. Fanning is genial, but discloses nothing about himself. Finally he invites Neill to his party. They go upstairs to Fan- ning’s suite, have a final shot and Set forth. In the taxi, Neill loses consciousness. Chapter Five Janet’s Gone! “My name is Johnny Tingstrom. I’m the guy that picked up you and the other guy at the Lord Baltimore at 7:30 last night.” Neill siezed his arm and jerked him through the door. “For God's ; sake what happened?” “Wait a_ minute!” laughed. “The other me to drive to the Be! “I remember that.” vedere...” “When we are coming up the } hill beside the Peabody he raps on the glass and says: ‘My friend has passed out cold!’ So I pulls into the curb and gets out and we looks at you and shakes you. You | was in the gauze all right. Par- alyzed. So the guy says: ‘He lives at the Stafford. We better take | him home and put him to bed.’ And I says: ‘Okay, boss.’ “So I drives to the Stafford and Vyten Neill came to, he found | we take you in, one on each side. himself lying fully dressed on his bed at the Hotel Stafford. For | the moment his mind was a blank; he was only aware that he felt ter- rible. The sun was streaming in and he glanced at his watch. Near- ly 12 o'clock. He sat up, pressing The clerks and the bellhops and the other guys in the lobby, they get a big laugh seeing you brought in cold so early in the evening. So me and the other guy we lays you on your bed and beats it. I drives him to the Belvedere. “Now I thinks there’s something “You was in the gauze all right. Paralyzed.” his head between his hands, then staggered into the bath for water. Suddenly recollection returned —Janet; the Lord Baltimore hotel; Prescott Fanning; the taxicab. Good God! Fanning doped me! he thought. But how? I was watch- ing him. The dope must have been in the wet glass when he brought it from the bathroom!.Oh, God! What a fool I was! Neill went through his pockets. His money had not been touched, but a glance in the other side of his wallet told him his papers had been ransacked. So Fanning knew now that -he was a treasury de- artment agent. Only one thing ad been taken: a photograph of Janet. When he thought of Janet, he turned sick with anxiety. What had happened to her? He ran to the phone and called up the smart dress shop on Charles street where she worked. A woman's voice, re- fined and acidulous, said: “No. Miss Emory isn’t here.” “When will she be in?” : “I don’t expect to see her again. She sent me a telegram this morn- ing resigning her position. She has left me flat, It is the most in- considerate...” Neill was not interested in Ma- dame Anpette’s feelings. He hung up. Janet gone! He could not take it in fully. Gone? He took down the receiver again and called yp the flat that she shared with a girl pal. A sicken- ing wait while he listened to the double buzz of the bell ringing at the other end. No answer. Remem- bering what Eyster had told him, he called up the City pier to ask about the yacht Nadji. She had pulled out at 7:30 the previous evening, he was told. At 7:30 Fan- ning had been: with Neill, But of course they could have joined the yacht at some other point later. Where was the yacht bound? Through the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, he was told, and out to sea, He rose and paced the room in an agony of distress, not knowing what to do. Jane friend was a student at the Maryland institute and he didn’t know how to reach her by phone. A Cab Driver Reports N a moment or two his telephone rang and he ran to the instru- ment with a wild hope of hearing Janet’s voice. No such luck, It was the clerk downst saying: “There's a ) ny ma wants to see you. He says you don’t know name. I think hi a taxi-drive: Tt w: nondese: gaging . i remember, h before. He said funny about this business. You was perfectly steady when you got in my car, You passed out too quick. So I made up my mind to take a_little time out to investi- gate. So after I dropped him I turns at the next corner and drives back, and I sees the guy coming out of the. Belvedere and getting into a private car.” “Did you get his license num- ber?” asked Neill. “Sure, but that won’t do you no ‘good because 1 looked it up myself later, and it was only a drive-yourself car, hired for the evening. It was brought back to the garage at 8:30 by the guy who was driving ‘it. They thought it was funny because he hadn’t had it out but little over an hour.” A Wonderful Looking Girl “{XJHAT did the driver look like?” “A hell of a big guy with heav: shoulders.” e! “I've seen the man. Go on.” “From the Belvedere they drives to a house on Calvert street and Picks uv a young lady. Gee! a won- derful looking girl, boss! She was wearing a pink dress and a black velvet wrap; light brown hair and blue eyes that looks almost black at night. There was something about her, you know, something that strikes a man down. I mean any man, even a poor hackie like me.” “Get on! Get on!” said Neill ir- ritably. “I know what she looks like.” “Pardon me, boss. From Calvert street they drives to the Hotel Mil- ner on Cathedral with me follow- ing. At the Milner they picks up a couple.” “Describe them.” “Well, I don’t get a very good | b¥eause I don’t dast go clo | A y@ rgish couple; the doll w: |fizcu up swell, but | young lady.
