called on Allaire West in Washing
ton, and been Irozen out. Allaire

went on to New York, preparatory
to returning to his fob in the tropi
cal land where he first met Allaire.
LaUarr. having tried to blackmail
George Fox. Allaire’s young diplo
mat friend, has turned to her play
boy father Kay West And Ray
cannot find Allaire; he has been
talking from New York to his wife
in Washington, and both are pretty
much perturbed.
Chapter 28
1 A CLUE
TJ AY’S lawyers were no help. They
pointed out that no steps could
be taken until the story was veri
fied or denied, and Allaire had to
do that.
Ray immediately set the machin
ery in motion. He called a firm of
private detectives he’d used before
They seat a man right over, and
together they tried to sift the
threads. The only thing they seemed
to have to go on was a possible con
nection between Allaire and a man
named Willett.
"We need a place to start,” said
tbe detective. “You want her as fast
as you can and picking up a trail in
a city like Washington is no cinch
on short notice. Now. do you seri
outly think she's run off with Wii-
and she would. We were talking '
about her attitude toward men.”
"Do you know anything about
Willett, Mr. West?"
He tried to think and the name
seemed to stick in his mind. In the
lucid light of mind-clearing shocks
he bad a chance to think deeply. He
was convinced he’d heard that name
before.
Willett? Willett? And then some
thing shone through the mists. He
got up and strode about the room.
“Now I’ve got it,” he said sudden
ly. "He was on my car. I'm sure it
was he. Willett! Terry Willett!
That’s it! I found him on my car
and he rode to Washington with us
I was a little tight so I don’t remem
ber much about him, but he got off
at Washington.”
He stopped in his stride. That
didn’t help much; it was a known
fact that Willett had been in Wash
ington. Ray said so gloomily.
“lIJCLL, you can’t tell." said the
** detective. “Did he say any
thing to anybody—leave the train
alone, or what? Did anybody else
get off your car at Washington?”
"Yes,” said Ray. ‘Tuff Harring
ton did.”
"Who, Mr. West?”
"Carolyn Harrington. Senator
Harrington’s daughter."
“They get off together, sir?”
“I don’t know. 1 suppose so.”
The detective arose purposefully.
“Well, that’s a fair enough place
to start Where's the phoue, Mr.
West? We’ll get in touch with Miss
Harrington.”
He paused for a word of advice.
“There’ll be fifty men on this
case inside of an hour. That means
reports, telephone calls, perhaps
identifications to be made. This isn’t
a very good place for a headquar
ters. I mean, something might leak
out You have a house in town,
haven’t you?”
"Yes. bqt it Im# faffed.”
“Well, it feive us a better
chance of privacy than this club.
Can you opep it Just for a while.
Mr. West?* f *D* ' t* * 1
“All right,” said Ray impatiently.

*TU attend to it. Now get busy after
Puff Harrington.” j
TERRY bad been out attending to
a few last details and when be
returned to his room late that after
noon be found Puff waiting for him.
It was the first time he’d seen her
that day.
“What, she inquired severely,
“have you been doing?”
"Buying tickets and things ”
“No, I mean in other and darker
days. Ray West is all of a dither to
see you.”
"Who? Allaire’s father?”
“None other. He had some queer
notion I’d know where you were. He
called Washington and was referred
to Louise's. Might have been embar
rassing if 1 hadn’t had the foresight
to ask Louise to ’front* for me in
case the Senator or the Senator’s
wife should make a surprise call.
“So Louise stalled off Ray until
she’d talked to me and 1 thought I'd
better see what was on his mind.
Ray’s rabid on the subject ot mak
ing your further acquaintance. I re
peat therefore —what have yon been
doing? If it’s a shotgun affair, be
loved. then all 1 can say is that
Allaire is a lot better than I am?
“He wants to see me? Why. 1 won
der?”
“Ravenously. His voice quivered
with eagerness. Had 1 seen you
lately? Did 1 know where you were?”
“What did you tell him?”
“That I hadu’t the slightest idea
where you were. I hadn't. So you
were out buying tickets and things?
My. my!” She blew a smoke ring
nonchalantly.
This was beyond Terry.
“I'd better see what he wants—’’
"Call his house if you’re inter
ested. 1 forget the number—better
look it up.”
As soon as he heard Ray West’s
voice he knew something w’as
wrong: he sounded, as Puff had said,
eager, ou edge.
“Where are you, Willett?”
Terry told him. still wondering.
“I’ve got to see you right away.
George Fox will come over for you.
Don’t go away.”
He Lung up. Terry looked at the
girl.
“He acts drunk as an owl. Wants
to see me.” He sat back and lit a
cigaret. frowning slightly. And
George Fox!—had he said George
Fox’
“You’ve done something terrible."
Puff accused. “I’ll bet it’s something
about Allaire?”
“What do you mean—something
about Allaire?”
“The only person who can get
Ray up in the air is Allaire. He's
absolutely lost with her.”
Willett didn’t want to talk about
her. Neither had Steve Perry. He’d
asked them for God’s sake to change
the subject Willett felt like asking
the same thing. That girl may have
lingered In his mind, but the sooner
he forgot her the better.
There wasn’t any percentage In
reminding himself how soft he got
when he was around her. Willett
didn’t believe tn being soft; you
never got anywhere that way—just
left yourself open to aches and pains.
He wished suddenly he was on
his way back right now. because
every once in a while he had a feel
ing he’d like to see her again and
that was the same as sticking his
neck out.
