"Then we'll say that Jensen, seein' her turn an' look at him, tried to cover up by turnin' into the yard of that house. By walkin' up on the porch, he could give the impression that he was goin' inside." : He paused. "Followin' asked Jimmy. "Go ahead," Jimmy begged. sounds plausible enough so far." "All right. Just a theory, mind you, but good as far as it goes. There's nothin' better to go on yet. "Now then, She has seen Jensen an' recognized him. Maybe she jumps or betrays herself somehow so Jen- sen knows that he's been recognized. Maybe she starts runnin' inte the house after seein' him. At any rate, we'll say that Jensen thinks he's keen recognized, an' that Olga doesn't know that Jensen has been shadowin' her. "Now then, what does she do? Shey runs right in the apartment an' goes straight to the phone without closin' the door. We'll say she doesn't even turn the light on, because, in the first place, she knows the lay of the land in here an' she doesn't need it. In the second place, she's in a hurry an' got her mind on phonin' you. In the third place, the light from the window might betray her to Jensen across the street. "All right. Now it's my opinion that Jensen, if he's got any dirty work on, has got someone with him. Maybe the other guy's followin' in an auto- mobile." Jimmy nodded. "That's reasonable, There were two of them, you know, the night he and 1--" "Exactly," broke in O'Day, and Jimmy felt a sudden admiration for the shrewdness the other revealed in his clear, straight thinking. "We'll say, then," O'Day continued, "that Jensen had someone with him.

It wanted to question her to see how much we had on Jensen." "Perhaps," admitted O'Day. "Now, "I can't imagine anything different looks very much as if Jensen had kid-! napped her. Probably he and who-| ever was with him did chloroform her to keep her from screaming." "It's just a theory, mind you," said O'Day. "There's nothin' here to give us any kind of clew to what happen- ed. The only thing at all was that mussed-up rug. Looks as if she! might have kicked it when they grab- bed her. & "And," O'Day added, "that's just, one theory. "Do you want me to tell you the other one I have?" There was a mysterious ring to his 'words, Jimmy thought, and a quizzi- cal expression about his eyes. "Yes, go ahead," Jimmy answered. "Well, before I tell you, let me ask you not to rear up an' get hotheaded again. Honest, every time I air my views about this Maynard girl you get on your high horse an' act like you're goin' to take my head off." Jimmy laughed, "Go ahead, Lieu- tenant, I'll behave."

An' you'll admit it sounds reasonable," Jimmy nodded. "An' this one is just as reasonable. It's just this. Supposin' this girl really was implicated somehow in your father's murder. Suppose she hasn't been tellin' the 'whole truth about it. Now she's succeeded in convinein' most people that she's entirely innocent, but there's still a cloud hanign' over her, you might say. "Now suppose she thinks it's time for her to do the disappearin' act? What could be better, or more con- venient, than to frame a little thing like this here?" He waved his hand about him. "Let me finish now," he reminded Jimmy as the other was about to interrupt. "Now, that's every bit as reasonable as the other theory, an'--" An.interruption came from an un- expected quarter. It was the tele- phone bell ringing, - O'Day waved the others aside as he picked up the in- strument in his hands. "Probably from headquarters," he grunted, and said, "Hello." He pressed the transmitter against his chest. "It's for you, Rand." He held out the telephone to Jimmy and the latter, about to take it in his own hands, abruptly stopped. A queer expression came over his face. "For me?' he repeated. "Thats funny." He raised his hand, checking O'Day, who still held the phone extended. "You take that call," he shot at G'Day.

Buildings were wrecked by shell-fire, were down at the rivers, and the ground was so rough that we almost crashed at our first landing.
