Actually, he is the president of the oil id oF i iF ppearanc: causes Janet such deep distress that Jimmy goes to his father and hires a private detective to look for Adelaide. He tells Janet that But Jimmy's prediction did not tome true. The days passed and brought no word of Adelaide. Mrs. Morris grew thin and hollow-eyed. Mr. Morris lapsed into silence and re- fused to go back to his work, spend- ing hours walking the streets, hours at the telephone calling all Adelaide's old friends. Janet spent all her spare time with them, blaming herself more and more as time went on for having left Adelaide alone that fatal night at Pussycat Inn. She showed the strain of waiting, too, and refused to talk to Jimmy about anything else, nor could he see her unless he went to the Morris house, where she was always to be found in the evenings now, "And you can't find out a thing about Butch, either?" she asked, al- most pleadingly one night, a week dfter the calamity. Jimmy shook his head, "Not a thing I do think this, Janet. e hast't galled Adelaide on the telephone nor tried to see her here, it means that they are together. And I think that Butch will take care of her." "We couldn't find any fecord of any marriage licenses issued to them," Janet reminded him. "They might have used assumed names for some reason," Jimmy argued. He himself was more wor- ried than he liked to admit. There had been no word from Johnson after the first day of his search. His re- port then had merely confirmed what Jimmy already knew, that Butch and Adelaide had left the Pussycat Inn about 2 in the morning, that Butch was not in good favor with the police, and that they had gone away in Butch's car. True, Johnson had added to his report a few lines of encour agement, but since that time there had been no word from him at all. "I feel so terribly sorry for Mrs. Morris," Janet said with a sigh; "she's « changed woman. She's even sent Lack a lot of things they were buying _ for the house so they can have more money, to spend ig hunting for Ade- laide. Mr. Morris says that if 'she isn't back by Monday he's going to borrow on his life insurance and every place else he can to hire a de- ¢ He does- n't think the police are very active." "They have so many 'missing-per- son" cases that they can't take much time for any one particular case," Jimmy admitted, "but I do wish Ade- laide's father would wait a few days more before he spends his money that way." * ' 4 "Do you think that maybe. Butch couldn't marry Adelaide for some By Barbara Webb reason and she's gone away with him anyway?" Janet asked. 3 "It might be," Jimmy said slowly, "but 1 just have a feeling, a hunch, if Jo like, that Butch wouldn't treat Adelaide that way. You sce, Janet, that kind of man a certain re- spect for a girl he's fond of. He wants her to go straight, he puts her in.a different 'class entirely from the women he merely amuses himself with. I believe that Butch is really in love with Adelaide, and if I'm right she's as safe with him as if she were at home." "I hope 50," Janet said, "I hope so." Mr. Morris came in just then, "anything new?" he asked hopefully. "Not a thing, sir," Jimmy answered, but I'm sure there will be word soon | po ~look here, why don't we all go down to the Pussycat Inn ourselves and stay there for a while, we can talk to Francois and if we don't learn anything there we can go on to some other night élubs where we know Adelaide and Butch went oc- casionally. Some place we might hear something about them--" ¥You think that they -are to- gether?" Mr. Morris asked. "Im sure of it," Jimmy responded, loping to cheer Adelaide's father a t. But his statement had another ef- fect. "If he's taken my little girl away and kept her from telling us for a week I'lf kill him," Mr, Morris spoke uietly, but with such determination that Janet grew pale with fear and apprehension. There was an awkward silence, which Jimmy broke by saying with an attempt at lightness, "suppose I tele- phone for a car and we all make the rounds of the night clubs tonight. It will give us something to do, make us feel that we are helping out some way; we can't do anything here at home tonight." Mr. Morris assented and went to tell his wife "Go get dressed, Janet," Jimmy di- rected, "we can't get in most of those places unless we are, you know. And ask your father and mother if they will come along--~I doubt if Mrs. Mor- ris will actually want to go into the clubs and the three of them can sit in the car while you and I and Ade- laide's father make inquiries." 'In the end it was arranged that way. Neither the Lanes nor Mrs. Morris had the heart to look directly at the gayety of such rendezvous, nor did Janet's clothes. Mr. Morris went with them, first to the Pussycat, his face grim and strange above his tuxedo, his very clothes hanging loosely upon him, for he had lost weight during the despairing week - just past, At the Pussycat Francois recog- nized them and came to show them to a table. . "Not tonight, Francois," Jimmy said, pressing a bill into his hand, "we're just calling around for a look- see. You haven't seen anything of Mr. Krause or Miss Morris in here this week, have you?" Francois shook his head. "Not a thing, sir. I'm sorry, they have not been here all week." It was what they had expected, but when the experience was repeated at four other places they felt their hearts sink lower and lower. . Janet was too absorbed in her worry to wonder where Jimmy got enough money to hire the limousine they were using, to give large tips to the waiters at the clubs they visited. Somehow she had hoped for some real results from this tour and as parents have suitable |} comes around then, I Yhpught he'd in tonight, but we're about to close, we're one of the early clubs and things are pretty quiet in here gener- the doors close at 1, I doubt if he'll be here." Jimmy nodded, "Too bad--we'd like to see him, friends of his--tell him to give Limmy a ring if he comes in,will ou "Sure I will. Butch likes his friends, he's a swell guy, never lets anybody down, you know." The Return As they went back to the car Jim- my spoke rapidly, "That's our first real clue, since Butch owns the place he'll either come back or get in touch with them some way. Now you go ahead and get your private de- tective, Mr. Morris ,and plant him there tomorrow. That won't be so expensive as having one to travel all over the country, and some day soon you'll get results." Mr. Morris was obviously cheered at this definite news and at having something to do. He tried to com- fort his wife on the ride home. She wept quietly in the reaction from the strain of the evening and assented to her husband's plan of seeing a detec- tive agency in the morning. "We'll find her," he asserted confi- dently as they turned 'into their street; "we'll find her sooner than you think." They stopped in front of the house. "Look, look," he eried. The house was ablaze with lights and on the front porch, arm in arm, stood Butch and Adelaide. But for Jimmy's restraining hand Adeclaide's father would have jumped from the car, fists clenched, crazy for revenge on Butch. Before any one could move, Ade- e began to run toward them, pulling a sheepish Butch along be- hind her. "Hello, everybody -- all dressed up, too--well, well--get out and' meet my old man. I'm Mrs, Krause now."

"We'll try the Blue Butterfly, it's a quieter place than these others, but at the Snapdragon they told me they thought Butch sometimes went there." ; Janet and Mr. Morris were with him when he approached the man- ager of the Blue Butterfly and were witnesses of the conversation which followed. "Harry Krause?" the manager, a vety decent-looking young Italian, ansewerced, "Sure 1 know him. I ought to, he owns this club, I just run it for him." "When do you expect him to come in?" Jimmy asked, motioning Janet and Mr.' Morris to keep quict. "I never can tell' the manager an- swered with a shrug; "he usually comes round once a week or so to see-how 'things are going and to col- lect the receipts.

TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Toronto, Jan. 28--With a few of the favorites practically monopolizing trading, prices generally marked time on the Toronto Stock Exchange to- day. A few individual movements in giving the market a slightly strong- cr appearance but on the whole there was no indication of any definite movement, Reflecting the apparent disappoint- ment at the lack of confirmation that there would shortly be a change in the control, trading in Brazilian slacked considreably as compared with yesterday.

Darton, of At- lanta, chairman of the executive committee, who prodicted that the country soon would be dry both mn law and fact" upder President Hoover's regime. '""We recently have had in Con gress a disgusting und sacriligious performance," he said, * a member of Congress attempting to quote the word of God in justification of the liquor traffic, , "The need of patriotism is strong when hoodlums in Boston tear down and destroy Coast Guard pos- ters because a company of Coast Guards has dono its duty in pro- tecting American shores from smuggling; when officers of the Coast Guard are berated openly in Congrees for doing their duty." In praise of President Hoover Dr. Barton sald: "Three years more--shall I say seven more?-- of the present order of things in the White House, and the whole country will be dry, both in law and fact."
