TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1942 Chapter 12 Susan Makes A Trip )DD’S picture made Page One along with Phil Humphries’ that afternoon when the papers started to elaborate on the story. A pretty cruel way to make the front page, Susan thought sym- pathetically, looking at the cap- tion over Todd’s picture. POLICE QUIZ GRID STAR No clues had been uncovered as yet, nor had any apparent mo- tive been established. Dr. Stephen Coulter, reached by reporters at home where he was confined with a cold, was shocked almost be- yond expression. He announced that the loss was a personal one to him, as well as to the uni- versity and science in general. Susan’s father telephoned late that afternoon inquiring for de- tails. Patiently she told him she knew nothing more than what he had been reading in the pa- pers. She promised she would call him if anything developed. She hung up, recalling that her father once had expressed a lik- ing for Phil. It was shortly after dinner when Sergeant Lake of the homi- cide bureau came to the Delta Sigma house. Mrs. Holmes, the house mother, ushered him into her office and called Susan. He questioned her about the night before. Did she meet Todd Malone on Main Street? Did he walk home with her? What time did he leave her? In what direc- tion had he gone when he left her? Personal Questions HE answered his questions per- functorily, almost mechanical- ly, but with a slight resentment. It seemed the questions were so sharply pointed with suspicion. “You're wasting your time,” she blurted. “Todd didn’t have a thing to do with it. Why do you have to do this to him? He's al- ready suffered one great personal blow, and now this comes up.” “At a time like this we have 4t0 sidetrack personal feelings, Miss Drake,” Lake said. “Even at the risk of ruining a man’s whole career — his very life?” she flashed. “Even at that risk,” he nodded. “You seem very concerned. You in love with him?” Lake suggest- ed coolly. “In love with—” She started to echo the question; it had hit her so abruptly she was unable to give him an instant answer. The idea itself was strange but it struck a funny chord within her. “I’m not evading your ques- tion,” she said finally, “but does that have anything to do with the case?” “We never know.” Then he cocked his head sideways at her. “Your father is a detective lieu- Penert upstate, isn’t he?” “Does he know you’ve been seeing Malone?” She felt the hot flush that came over her face. “I think you're getting a little too per- sonal, needlessly,” she said. “Tll be the paces he told her eurtly. “But sl it.” He looked at his watch. eep us in mind if you hear anything. Never can | | tell what a detective’s daughter might turn up,” he grinned. Disappeared! DD had skipped all his | classes that day. He hadn’t | even returned to the fraternity house for lunch. He stopped at a drug store on the outer fringe of the campus and got a malted | milk. Then he started walking. By the time he heard the three o'clock chimes he had circled | back to Main Street. For the first time, then, he remembered foot- ball practice. On his way to the stadium he noticed several people snatch quick, almost embartassed glances as he passed. He didn’t bother to identify familiar faces. He didn’t want to say anything to anyone, not even hello. He passed the cluster of oak trees in the center of the campus and a squirrel at the base of one of them scurried up the branches as hé’approached. In the distance, about a quar- ter of a mile away, Todd saw the | stadium towers in the late after- noon sun. He stopped, looked at the squirrel and decided he wasn’t going to practice. Not that day. nor tomorrow. And he didn’t give a hang what happened when Van- derbilt came to town, Saturday, for that matter. | He was sick of the whole thing. Right up to his neck. And if he never saw a football again it would make little difference. He | didn’t owe anybody anything, he reflected bitterly; he’d certainly given more than he’d received around here. Susan heard the report on the radio that night. Todd Malone hadn’t shown up for practice. He had returned to his fraternity | house that afternoon about three | and had left shortly afterwards. The next day, Thursday, Todd was still missing. The sports writers fanned it up big. No one had seen him in two days. A mys- tery like that two days before a j big intersectional game made | dripping copy. Detective headquarters called i Susan and asked if she had any | ideas of his whereabouts. She | gave them a flat no. But in her | economics class the next after- | noon an idea came to her. It grew on her as she rushed home. Hur- riedly she changed clothes and | ran to Peggy Cannon’s room. | “Give me your car keys, Peg,” she said swiftly. “No questions, Peg . this is an emergency.” Peggy pointed to her dresser. “Sure. Susan “grabbed the keys and | dashed downstairs and around to the rear of the house where Peg | kept her car. An hour later Susan parked | near the state penitentiary in | Centerville. She walked into the | administration offices and intro- duced herself. “I’m Susan Drake. Possibly you know my_ father. Lieutenant Leo Drake I'd like | very much to see one of the Lae oners—Duke Malone—for = a couple of minutes, even though | it may be irregular at this time | of day. | A eae warden looked at her keenly. “Yes, I know your father. | Visiting hours are over, though. don’t think——” “Just five minutes,” plored. “It’s so important.” “You're a friend of his?” | “T’'ve never met him before— | but that doesn’. matter.” He looked at her closely again, silently filled out a slip and press- | | ed a buzzer. | To be continued | E.W.T. ‘City Office) Temperatures Highest last 24 hours Lowest last night Mean Normal ee AE Precivitation Rainfall, 24 hours ending 8 2. m., inches 0.30 Total rainfall since Oct. inches Deficie By, —.
