PAGE FOUR Chapter 38 Three Shadowe vege thought back over his conversation with Miss Ray- ner as far as he could remember it. Who had introduced Fanning té Miss Rayner? Her estate agent, Barney. Neill had never given a second thought to Barney, because Miss Rayner had made it clear that Barney was riot implicated in the plot. However, Barney might be the cat’s paw. Miss Rayner had spoken of him a little slightingly, suggesting that Barney was one whom she “didn’t tell anything to.” It was worth looking into, and Neill got busy. Barney might be implicated, and anyhow the murder and the trag- edy that had followed on it that day would make him cautious. Neill resolved to find out some- thing about the man before going to him. But first he wanted to have a look at him. He got his office ad- dress out of the telephone book. Neill expected to be followed when he left the hotel and so he was. Instead of taking a taxi, he walked through the streets in or- der to get a line on his trailers. Neill was an experienced trailer himself, and also adept in fooling trailers. At first he could only spot two of one on each side of picked up |_ par:-er outside, and| they made off quickly. From inside the door the blond young man was What's his game? into a crony of Barney’s whom he had been told that he would find Barney was accustomed, on his way home every afternoon, to drop in for a glass of beer at Hein~ rich’s, a little café in the Falls road. This was the essential piece of information he had been after. It was a long way from the Bel- vedere hotel. Neill took a taxi, and the blond young man another. Falls road proved to be a miscel- laneous sort of street leading to houses occupied by colored wash- erwomen, and so on. Heinrich’s was a neat, new saloon with ma- hogany panels in the show win- dow and neon beer signs, No view of the interior could be had from the street. Neill went in. The blond young man didn’t follow him in, but when the swing shutter opened, Neill could see him hovering out- lace was moderately well filled. Reilt could hear that the con'versa- tion was .all about the Fanning case, and the death of Miss Ray- ner.

Neill said to him: “Terrible thing about the death of the old lady today.” “You said it, mister.” “Fellow downtown told me that it was Edward Barney who first introduced Prescott Fanning to Miss Rayner.” “No!” exclaimed Heinrich. “Why Mr, Barney is a good customer of mine.” é “Is that so!” Neill made believe to look over the group of drink- er |ers. “Is he here now?” turn?

He was attracted ol aig d for his voice confidentially. “I do mind a strang- er meeting up with Mr. Barney f here,” said he slowly. “Maybe he was in a couple of times.” “Did he pick up Barney here time?” asked Neill eager- Heinrich shook his head heavily. “1 can’t remember.” “Was he a big fellow?” “No.” “A little fellow?” “Just medium like.” ‘as he a young man?” “No. He wasn’t old neither. Just average age.” “How was he dressed?” “I didn’t notice special. Just like anybody else.” Neill, discouraged, tried another line..“What did they drink?” Heinrich's eyes brightened im- mediately. “I can remember that, mister.
