When Neill learns Janet didn’t shoot the flashy swindler, he suspects queer little Eyster, who hated Fanning. Also on hand are Kettering, a Baltimore lawyer, and Ira Buck- less, a tough who trails Neill. The dark ships are searched, but Neill and Janet dodge the searchers. The yacht is mysteriously ran- sacked and Bonniger questions Buckless who involves Neill, Chapter 33 The Snapshot Of Janet OOK,” said Buckless with an ugly grin, “Fanning was car- , Tying that doll’s picture in his * pocket.

That would be proof wouldn’t it?” The photograph was in Neill’s inside pocket. He felt as if he were taking a nose dive through space and waited, tense, for the crash. He became aware that Bonniger was asking with a smile: “You don’t mind if I go through your pockets, do you?” Neill had to inink with light- ning speed. “I'll save you the trouble,” he smiled and threw the card on the desk. “That’s the pho- tograph he’s talxing about.” It created a sensation. Kettering looked shocked; Wilson’s honest eyes almost started from his head and the friendly smile on Bon- niger’s lips stiffened. ~ “Is that the photograph?” Bon- niger asked Buckless. “That's it,” Buckless grinned. “That,” said Neill, “is the photo- graph of a witness wanted in a nar- cotic case. I have never set eyes on the original, and certainly she had nothing to do with this matter.” “How could this. fellow have known you were carrying such a photograph?” asked Bonniger. “His room is across the corridor from mine. I have reason to believe he has through my things.” Bonniger nodded. “All right. Pll show this to the crew of the yacht and that will clear you.” Neill felt dizzy again. The crash ‘was not averted, but only delayed. He clenched his fist. “Wilson,” said Bonniger, “bring down McGee, will you? He's the most intelligent of that bunch.” Wilson went out. It seemed to Neill that half a lifetime passed before he returned. Kettering kept pave’ ne oy over his oe a smooth out a grin, and Nei longed to punch him. McGee's Answer M°c=. a aan mechanic, came wondering why he had been sent for. He had the look of a decent family man.

Before ‘answering, he from one man to another in his deliberate a idently made up his mind about the situation. The faintest flicker of understanding came into his eyes when they met Neils eyes. “No, I never seen her before. Who is she? way do you ask me?” He wanted to sit down, but was lown, but was afraid of callin; on to him- I a temporary re- prieve because he could tot. tell what Buckless would say next. “Does that look like the woman Fann: had al the yacht?” jer. “No, sir.

Buckless subsided in an angry muttering. Neill glanced at him uneasily. Why didn’t he say more? Afraid of incriminating himself oapenry Anyhow, it was clear that was through for the moment. Neill ventured to sit down. “That's all, McGee,” said Bon- : niges. “Much obliged.” niger handed the photo- tograph to Neill. His manner was less free than heretofore, and Neill doubted if he was as fully satisfied as he was making out to be. He turned to Buckless. “Now, mister, I'd be obliged if you'd ‘answer a few questions about your own movements... . When did Ray it to Absalom's?” “About 10:15 Tuesday night.” “How did you come? “By automobile. A friend drove ong from Baltimore. He went “Pretty obliging friend to drive 160 miles at night as a favor.” “He was under obligations.” 1 “What sort of obligations?” “He's a yacht broker. I bought | “I didn’t know there was a woman going until the night they sailed,” Buckless coolly retorted. “And, for all I know, she went willingly. Up until Monday I thought the boss was going to take me with him to Cuba, but he wouldn’t. We had words about it.” There was a wicked roll to Buckless’ eyes which suggested that he enjoyed keeping Neill on the rack. Neill got up and went to the window. This window looked towards the rear of the building on a space heaped with the litter of years. When Neill stuck his head out, he discovered that there was a-figure crouching under the window. Eys- ter’s twisted face looked up at him in terror at first, then upon recog- nizing Neill, with the familiar sly grin. Neill left the window. Bracelets For Buckless HAT brought you down here Tuesday night?” Bonniger was asking. “The boss called me up from here about seven o'clock,” Buck- less answered. “Told me how he had to put in here on account of the engine broke. Well, there was some business I wanted to talk over with him, so I got the car.” “What business?” “That I won’t tell.” “Man,” said Bonniger sternly, “don’t you realize that you are in a serious situation?” “I ain’t got nothing to fear.” Buckless looked at Neill. “I will tell everything when it’s time.” Bonniger let it go at that. “Will you give me the name and address of the man who drove you here?” “Sure!” He gave it and Bon- niger wrote it down. “Here’s some further particulars for you. We filled up at the gasoline station on Hanover street just before you come to the bridge. It was then 20 past eight.” “You got here a little after 10, you say. Did you try to see Fan- ning?” “No, I didn’t try to.” “Why not?” “Well, I was told as how the crew had come ashore to the movies and I didn’t know what I'd bust into if I went out there.” “Unusual delicacy!” commented Bonniger. “What did you do?” “T just fooled around and lis- tened to the talk at the store, then I got a room and went to bed.” “And in the morning?” “Didn’t want to go out to the yacht too early. While I was wait- ing, word came in of the killing.” “Why didn’t you come forward at once as Fanning’s friend?” a fies to find out first what Ontat fy ae “Wilson, where can we lock this man up?” “In the jail at King’s Green, Mr. Bonniger.’ “Too far away. I must have him convenient for questioning.” “There is no place in this village that would serve as a lock-up. “Put him aboard the yacht. There’s only one door to the fore- peak, and you have to keep a man out there on guard anyhow.” “Okay,” said Wilson. ‘Here, you!” he added, producing a pair of handcuffs. Buckless, without any protest, extended his hairy right wrist. Wilson snapped one of the brace- lets around it and the other on his own left wrist. Buckless only had one request to make: “Can I see my lawyer?” “Who's your lawyer?” asked Benniger. , “Mr. Rudy Morris.” “What's his address?” “He’s here in Absalom’s. I sent for him.” “So you reckoned you'd be needing a lawyer, eh? ... You can't see him tonight.” “In the morning?” “All right.” Wilson led the big fellow out. Neill looked after them in per- plexity. Why did Buckless choose to hold back the most damning part of his story? As the big man Went through the door, he gave Neill a sullen look. When they had gone, Bonniger’s ern hardened. He, too, hhowed signs of strain. “What do you think of this thug’s story?” he asked Neill. “I think he's lying.” “Oh, sure! Even if the rest of it were true, after dashing down here at night to see Fanning he wouldn't wait until morning.’ _ “It's all lies,” said Neill. “He is likely the murderer himself.” “Sure. If he’s lying, that’s the natural inference.” “Don’t you think he’s lying?” “Partly. But I can’t tell at what Peer the truth ends and the lies gin. He doesn’t seem bright enough to have thought it all up.” Neill had an uneasy feeling that Bonniger might be right. aybe the lawyer’s been prompting him.” “It's a possibility.” (Copyright, 1937, By Halbert Footar) Neill decides to make a break for g Fetowav. temerrew, Peninsular & Occidental Steamship Company “SS.
