Chapter 26 Following Eyster’s Clue 3 Ses used to go to a fine apartment house on Charles Sirect Avenue,” Eyster szid, “Sometimes I seen him go in. Sometimes I picked him up coming out, I don’t know who he went to $ee there. I got thrown out when I went in to ask. I wasn’t the kind of looking guy who could go in Such a house. But you could.” This soun like a valuable lead to Neill..““What's the number of te House?” he asked. “3420 “Citar ied Street 'A vehte.” @ Mei made a mental note of the number. be tock out:his pipe and blew through it, Stopped t npoGot enytiing to:glean it with?” “Tiuse a nidil,” Eyster sa:d, grifi: ning. “You'l! find itr the bureau.” hen he got his pipe going, Neil} said: “Well, I must be nroving on.” “Don’t. go!” pleaded Eyster. “Tell me more about Fanning. Did he see you coming? Did he say anything?” Prudence warned Neill to string him along. “Don't like to talk about it,” he muttered. A look of doubt appeared in Eyster's face. “It was you smoked Fanning, wasn’t it?” “You wouldn't expect me to ad- mit it in so many words, would you?” Neill answered grinning. Eystor’s face cleared. “No! No! You don’t have to admit anything to me, fellow! You're all right! You're a grind guy!” Neill went Jownstairs rubbing . The theory that he had so ho} ly erected on the way up was already tottering. But it had not fallen. He was far from con- vineced that Eyster had not shot Fanning. He found Bonniger in the little office back of the store, engulfed in the detail of his job. Messengers were continually coming and go- ing, reports arriving from the local search parties and by phone from the state police in other coun- ties. Bonniger was making ar- fangements to have the harbor ed for a body. feill’s whole attitude toward the ease had changed now. Satisfied that Janet was in no way impli- tated, he was as keen to solve the mystery as Bonniger was. Also, now he could let his real liking for fer come out. “Look, Mark,” he said. “If we could find out what Fannin; up to in Baltimore, it would be a step forward. It would lead us rect to the solution.” “Well, 'm not sure I can go as far as that with you,” Bonniger = smiling at his enthusiasm. “But at that, it's important, I have & man on job, but he hasn’t en “scion ge 5 juppoee go up wn ani — e it, outside of what any- el doing,” said Neill. “Fanning had beeome a kind of lie figure and I ought to be able ialuly is good ef you t inly of you to sug- it,” said Bor rea: | hate 1 cut in on ‘your ‘vacation.’ “Not at all,” said Neill. “I'm in- t mall im nat ve: you a police eariand 4 constable to drive: you.

When he pre- his back Neill received an- other shock. He had seen that back before, with shoulders heavy ware ceees Fg their own we tting the arms hang down tn front like an ape’s. The stoop-shouldered man! Here was the substance of the shadow that id doy Neill from the start. He had not yet spotted Neill. A SON IS BORN IN.

He drank his beer alone. Probably playing a lone hand, Neill figured. Eyster knows him, but he is in terror-ef him. Certainly it must have been |one or another of these two who had shot Fanning. When he had finished eating, Neill strolled out and paused at the desk. “Wickesy,” he asked “who is the big fellow at the bar— the stoop-shouldered man?” “That’s the guy you was asking about this morning. Ira Buckless is the name.” “When did he come?” “Late Tuesday night.” _ “I couldn’t tell you, mister. I just see him walk in the door.” The hotel keeper’s face sharpened with curiosity. “Why do you ask?” “Oh, nothing. Thought I hadseen him before somewhere.” As Neill made his way to the door, Buckless happened to turn and their eyes met. An ugly look eame into the big man’s face; ha- tred and defiance. That look said: Well a know me and I know you! about it? And Neill had to take it. He and Janet were in this man’s power. He paused on the porch to think things through. He was not'so keen to go to Baltimore. Still, he thought, it's clear that Buckless isn't.afraid of me. He’s not going to run away. I'll only be gone a few hours and I may be able to bring back the proof I need. He went down the steps. A Rich Old Lady T TWO o'clock Neill was de- posited at the door of a hand- some modern apartment house on man and the elevator boy were razces. sag cane og ten, photographs of Fanning, but they shook their heads. Never had seen such a person, they said. After all, the photographs of a dead man do not convey much, “I know he wa’ a frequent visi- tor to somebody in this house,” said Neill. “Picture a man six feet two in height, slim and broad shouldered, black hair and eyes, rosy skin, very fine looking. Al- unusual shirts and cravats.” The two negroes glanced at each other, grinning. “Miss Rayner’s friend,” they said. “Who is Miss Rayner?” “Don’t you know Miss Emma Rayner, boss? Everybody know her. One of the richest women in Baltimore. She real old now, and never goes out no more.” ‘They looked at the | anne iene again “That's the gentleman what come to see her all right, but he look different when he’s dead.” “Well, most of us do,” said Neill. “What name did he give when he came here?” “Didn’t give no name.” “Don’t you have to send the names up?” “Yes sir, boss. But the first time he come somebody brought him, and after that we was told to show him up whenever he come.” “What other gentlemen er had recen’ “Nobody but her la Osgood, and her agent, Mr. Bar. ney.” Neill made a memo. “Well, show me up now,” he said. _ The negroes hesitatéd, but he Miss Rayners. spartsnest was mer’s aj was mer b neat colored maid.
