Also in the picture are Kettering, @ Baltimore lawyer down to fish, and Ira Buckless, a tough who trails Neill. Evster’s tip enables Neill to find wealthy old Miss Rayner in Baltimore. Chapter 27 A Cool Million "Pent you read the newspa- pers, Miss Rayner?” “Certainly not. I’ve something better to read.” “Mr. Fanning is dead.” She took it more calmly than Neill ‘expected. Death is a com- monplace affair to the very old. “Dead?” she echoed “Where? How?” “He was found dead on his yacht in Absalom’s Harbor “Z didn’t know he a yacht.” “Murdered.” “ “Bless my. soul! . you gome to me about it?” sr icie wNeill endeavored to -zeften his ~ “We can’t find out anything a him.

We had some business dealings.” This was whet Neill “Who brought him to you? “My estate agent, Edward Bar- ney. I have a house for sale on Linden avenue. Mr. Fanning was thinking of buying it for a specu- lation, but he thought I was askin; too much for it. So he persuad Mr. Barney to bring him here. I wouldn't come down in my price but, as I said, I liked the man. He stayed on here chatting after Mr. Barney left and he came to see me a number of times after that.” “Have you confidence in Mr. Barney?” asked Neill. “Absolute. A good, faithful crea- ture. He's too dumb to be crooked. He’s only my venting agent. He knows nothing about my affairs.” “Well, about Fanning ...?” “He was a man of large means,” she went on, “and we had a com- mon interest in our investments. He told me that he had established an investment trust in New York which be id 6 per cent and over on its stock, I was getting less than thrée on my goverfiment bonds. I am interested in many philan- thropies and I need all the income T can get my hands on. So in the end I exchanged my bonds for stock in Mr. Fanning’s trust. I took a little at first, and as the price continued to rise, I got more.” “Without any investigation?” “Certainly not! I investigated it thoroughly. I received very fine references and testimonials on Mr, Fanning’s behalf from New York people. I'll show them to you.” “Didn't you consult with ai Baltimore business men, or witl your lawyer?” he asked. “No. I prefer to act on my own initiative.” “Do you know a man here called Horace Kettering?” “The name is familiar.” “He’s a lawyer in town.” “I've never seen the man nor had ening to do with him.” “Did Mr, Fanning ever speak of him?” “No.” after. “Did Mr. Fanning introduce you bl associates?” to any of his friends or “Nol” “Did you ever hear the names pee less or David Eyster?” “No.” “Of ,course, they malas have gone under other names. They are pecul looking men.”.,He de- seri Eyster and Buckless. “I don’t know any m: that brag she said scorntaiyyg al this leading up to the si ion that there is pochathike trotkcet about Fanning?” Neill didn’t answer. “That's ridiculous on the face of it!” said Miss Rayner.’ “He only promised me 6 per cent, A swindler would have guaranteed 10 or 15.” The Fake Certificates ¥N SPITE of her confident talk, % Neill had roused an ugly doubt in the old lady’s mind. Hoisting herself out of her chair, she tot- tered = mf that stood : against the wall. Taking from portfolio, she oars it to him. Opening it, Neill thumbed over a sheaf of beautifully engra certificates. Not worth the paper they had spoiled. “Aren't they all right? Aren't oy. all right?” she demanded. ie had not the heart to deliver the blow, “I reckon so,” he said. “I know nothing about such mat- ters.

Beyond establishing the identity of Fanning’s victim, he had not got very far. The manner of Fanning’s introduction to the old lady suggested that the estate agent wes in nu wise implicated id Miss Rayner bad confirmed it. Neil] drove back downtown and called at Mr. Osgood’s office. He found him a conservative speci- men of the genus Family Lawyer. Impossible to suspect such a one.

In the treasury de ent he cashed a check for cll coming to him in order to e recdy for anything. He looked in on his chief. “Having a good time?” asked the latter. “Swell!” said Neill. If you knew the half of it! he thought grimly. “Tl have an assignment for you on Monday.” As he started out of town, Neill bought the latest papers and found, as he had foreseen, that they were now playing up the theory that Fanning had been decoyed into the girt’s cabin and killed by a man {for his money. Neill fluns down the sheets with a groan of he!pless anger. The Mob Mutters ibe was approsching seven o'clock when he got back to Absalom’s. Lately the papers. had been sent down from town as fast as issued and the latest story was already having its effect. From the crowd that pressed around the store, Neill heard a new note, a slow growling sound that once heard can never. be forgotten. As he crossed the porch on his Way in, ‘he ovérheard a snatch of talk. A man said: “When we catch them two we ought to string them up.” “Not the woman,” answered an- other. “That's never been done.” “Well, we can string him up and let her watch. That’d learn her!” Neil] swept a glance around. Every face bore the same dark look and he knew then what it was to be alone. Hyenas! he thought, hardening. He found Bonniger with Ser- geant Wilson and the constables in the loft.over the store, and made his report. 1 “Good work,” said Bonniger. “It fits in with other information about Fanning that has come over the wire today. During the past four or five weeks he opened accounts with half a dozen banks in Wash- ington, Baltimore and New York. sums of money passed through these accounts. Just be- fore he died, he closed them all out, and got his checks back, thus locking our investigation of his operations.” teak slick,” said Neill. “It’s clear that he converted his million into something easily portable,” said Bonniger. “He must have had.it with him, and there’s your motive for the mur- der! A cool millipn! This case looms bigger and bigger! Neill noticadyyith considerable uneasiness that all the constables with the exception of the man guarding the yacht had been called in. He had evidently interrupted a conference. “What are you get- 2s, Saad for?” he asked. “We have not been idle while ua were away,” said Bonniger. his afternoon a fisherman called Jake Loker brought me a packet containing 100 new $5 bills that he had found floating in the river.” Neill’s heart began to sink like a piece of water-logged wood. “He picked it up at gh ee off ortham’s a vag mniger went on. “The tide was then at half flood.
