SYNOPSIS: When flashy Pres- cott Fanning abducts Janet from Baltimore on his yacht, she gets ‘word to Neill, a young federal agent who loves her. Dashing to Absalom’s Harbor, he boards the cht and finds, in a locked cabin, wwning shot dead and Janet in a faint, a gun beside her. Neill hides her nearby in a’ disused liner. Back at the village, he sees queer little David Eyster who hated Fanning Neill offers to help Mark Bonniger, keen local investigator. They confer with Lawyer Kettering of Baltimore. Then Neill sneaks food and clothes to Janet.

It was : ket that he had seen fannin ut in his wallet two nights before, and he would as lief ve seen a venomour snake in Janet’s hands, The si=ht of that money reminded Neil! that Janet had not told a credible storv of what had happened aboard the yacht. and because he loved her so much it hurt him as if his flesh had torn. “Where did you get that?” he demanded. “T found it in the pocket of my wrap,” she said, astonished at his ne. “Who put it there?” “I don’t know.” “Tt’s Fannihg’s money!” “Well . .. I suppose it must be. But if it’s » case of life and death with us...” Anger swept through Ne!!! like @ gasoline fire. Snatching the tmoney from her, he strode across the room and sent it flying through the outer window into the river. “Td sooner starve than touch a dollar of it!” Janet stared at him silently. “You are lying to me!” he =s'? “T reckon you from the begin eeeeececeeceeeeeoese Today’s Anniversaries ' spran, not going to take that!” “I don’t care whether you smoked Fanning or not,” he said. i 3 nee ee did.

We're going’to have thi out here and now! .. . I'm willing to believe that you shot him with- out knowing what you were doing, and that you can’t remember any- thing about it now. That’s natural, But you couldn’t take his money and put it in pod pocket without knowing what you were doing.” “I didn’t take his money!” “Listen! I broke in that door and found you two*alone in the cabin. The key was still on the inside of the door, and the portholes were closed and fastened on the inside, If you didn’t take Fanning’s money, who did?” “Perhaps there was somebody else aboard the yacht. Somebody of whom we know nothing.” “Somebody else!” said Neill staring. He croppet her wrist. “Fanning had told me more than once that he had enemies. That night when we were having dinner on the yacht I thought I saw some: body skulking on the dock. Per- haps he Suppee on board when no- body was looking and hid himself below. Perhaps he was hidden in my cabin.” “In your cabin?” “There was a clothes closet in there. I tried the door when I first went in and it was locked. Perhaps he had locked himself in there? Neill laughed harshly. “For God’s sake don’t tell that story te anybody but me! That's exactly the kind of story that every hard- ressed defendant tells when he as no defense!” Janet looked at him giver f and went quickly into the - room. He let her go, and tro § ed on the sofa pressing his head be- tween his hands. Anger sickened him so that he could not think. Chase In The Dark WHEN she did not return, when he heard no sound from the next room, a sudden fear struck through him and he ran in to look for her. The room_was empty, the door unbolted and standing open on the corridor. His anger van- ished then, Snatching up the flash- light, he ran through the corridor softly calling her name. “Jen! ...Jen!... Wait!” He assumed that there was gly one way she khew: down to E dec! across the dining saloon and the galley and into the engine room aft. It was the way they had first come. Surely he could overtake her before she had gone far. She had to grope her way in the dark. He ran on, oceasionally pausing to listen. He could hear nothing. He plunged down the two flights. When he reached the galley, he tealized that he must have nv; her. She had hidden behind some corner to let him pass. He turned = Suppose his anger had ren- ered her completely desperate? Suvpose she returned to the suite and threw herself out of the win- dow? He ran on, sick with fear. However. there was no sound ahead of him. She had not come back to this part of the vessel. He tan into the suite and, without waiting to pull uo the rope ladder, closed the window upon it. and also the other windows of the ve- randa. They were very stiff and he knew she could not open them. He started down the stairs again, On D deck he heard some mouse- like sounds in one of the corridors end searched it cabin by cabin. She was not there. Of course while ~|he was looking on one side, she could run through a cross passage and return on the other. It was like seorching a rabbit warren. He went down to E deck again. While he was in the galley he heard the clang of an iron door ahead of him and plunged in the direction of the sound. She had en- tered the engine room shaft. She wee going on deck. When he got into the shaft he heard her far above him racing up the iron stairs, “Jen! Jen!” he called. “Wait!” He leaped up the stairs, straining every nerve to overtake her before she cotild get out on deck. Refore he reached the top she was threugh the door and winning forward on the boat deck. He caucht her bv the forward lad- der. and none ton soon. because across the decks of the other ships: he could see the watchman’s lan- tern coming towards them. She struggled desverately in his arms. “Tet me co! Tet me go!” “Ciet. Jen, for God's sake!” he imolored her. “The watchman is coming this wav.” “All right. Ist him come!
