“Yos and your young woman!" Ducros protested angrily. "Whai; do we do?~that’s the quesﬁon. The chief offered to send Carruth-irs down."

"Um-not so good." s-'r.t lolli- more. "You know what I think. it was eiitier Fernandez or one of his pals. and in some way that son is mixed up with it."

"We can't search n piirre like this, There's sixty rooms in it."

"Besides. they wouldn't keep tiie stuff here. '1‘hey'd leave ‘he car ‘n the park. slip through Fcrnnntleis office. and i-ivay. One thinij is certain. Flash Cardow won't come here again while we are Jere. I-it-

"You said it was someone in the! list. I don't want ta criticize you in any way. but the whole place is opoii to you, You can search anywhere you rare.

“I know that." said DIICPOQ. "lint it's unlikely that the man who did it would keep anything incriminat- int! here."

"Sure. I hadn't thought of that. I hope you find the criminal; there was m time lost in starting." "Then; was one thing we aver- looked. Mr. Fernandez. We didn't see your passport. Do you mind?" "Surl. It's in the office. I'll get it."

“I'll tci-me too." said Dﬂiimore. Fernandez unlocked s drawer in his desk and took out a ‘passport. Doiiimore examined it carefully: "Yes. That seems in order." lie said. and handed it hack- "No questions?"

"None" replied Doilitmore m turned to the dool‘.
