CHAPTER XI.
Wah and His Wilea.
RJSJ * lOHN DORR stood stupidly
Hgj I I staring at the papers which
KSSJS he Orad found in the locked
HiSwl drawer of the dresser. His
brief Inquiries at the desk had only
served to make the matter darker, so
he had come back to the room to puz
zle things out.
Painfully he set the facts in order
before him. The first was that Ruth
bad gone to New York to deal with
Everett about money for improvements
to the "Master Key." The second was
that she had evidently not been able
to find Everett and had started west
again. The third was that she had
been in this very room. There lay the
papers that represented the mine and
its value. But how—where—how could
it be?
His businesslike senses returned, and
lie proceeded to wire Everett's office In
New York, with the result that he was
soou in possession of his address in
San Francisco.
"So Everett's here, too," he mutter
ed. "That is stranger yet. I guess it
was time I dropped in. Now to find
Ruth!"
He thrust the packet of papers in his
pocket and then withdrew them and
iocked them again into the dresser
drawer. He had a dim notion that
Ruth might come back for them. Then
he telephoned to the St Francis hotel
and left word for Everett, who was re
ported to be out.
Still following what his common
sense told him was the logical method
of unraveling the tangle he went down
to the desk and entered into conversa
tion with the clerk. Meanwhile his eye
ran down the register. Opposite the
number of the room he now occupied
he saw a heavily scrawled "Mrs. J.
Darnell and daughter."
He frowned and the clerk said sym
MONDAY EVENING,
pathetically. "You must have a nasty
headache?'*
"I have," John returned. "Met with
an accident in an auto that rather up
set me." He laid his finger on the reg
ister and. controlling his voice, went
on as if casually, "I see Mrs. Darnell
stops here."
To Dorr's secret amazement the clerk
became mysterious, leaning across the
desk to whisper. "Ah, you know her?"
"I wanted specially to see her." John
equivocated "is she here?"
"She Is not, aud she left in a very
strange way," the clerk explained
quietly. "Slie came here last evening
with her daughter. 1 gave them the
room you have noiv. Along in the late
hours she suddenly came down with
the irirl unconscious and told me that
she had been taken very ill and she
was hurrying her to a hospital. There
were a couple of men with her, and the
house detective didn't like the looks of
the whole affair, so he followed them.''
"Was the girl very fair haired and—
nud beautiful?" Dorr managed to ask
In au indifferent tone.
"Precisely," responded the clerk, sud
denly matching his guest's manner.
"If you want to find Mrs. Darnell
maybe the house detective got her ad
dress—or the address of the hospital
they took the girl to."
Presently, in response to a summons,
appeared the detective, who scanned
John's somewhat bruised face thought
fully. saying nothing until the clerk
explained that Mr. Dorr wished, if pos
tfble. to get into communication with
Mrs. Darnell.
"The best I can do is to find the taxi
driver for yon." he said slowly, still
studying John's stalwart figure. "He
may be out Oil the stand now. Let's
see."
As they passed oat the detective con
tinued hesitatingly. "Do you know Mrs
Darnell very well?"
There was that in the man's tone
that made John pause before answer
ing. He glanced at the cool, impas
sive face and caught the glint of the
steady eyes. He took a sudden resolu
tlou.
"I believe you're really interested In
this matter." Dorr said briefly. "Sup
pose we talk this over before hunting
the taxi chauffeur."
"I was merely curious, that's all,"
was the noncommittal murmur.
"That girl is not her daughter," John
continued. "I have reason to believe
that it is Miss Ruth Gallon, the heir
ess to the 'Master Key' mine, whom she
is abducting." His passion blazed
forth 'n spite of his self restraint. "1
must find her and save her."
"Might I nsk what relation you are
to the young lady?" nsked the detec
tive mildly.
John stared at blue and then realized
the oddity of his actions and words.
He briefly explained his position at the
mine and his wardship of the heiress.
He also went into detail as to what he
suspected Wilkerson of, describing him
carefully.
"Ho was one of them, sure enough."
agreed the detective. "But young heir
esses ain't being kidnaped days like
these out of hotels like this."
"I may be mistaken," John assented
wearily. "All 1 know of Mrs. Darnell
is from occasional words dropped by
Wilkerson. But 1 suppose we might
get a clew as to where they went any
way."
After some search of the long line of
taxis they came to one which the de
tective identified as the one Mrs. Dar
nell had taken the night before.
"Driver, take us where you did those
fares who were In such a hurry last
night." the detective ordered.
The chauffeur shook his head. "You
can search me for the address," he re
turned. "There wasn't any."
The driver leaned out from his seat
and went on earnestly: "You know
how they jumped In and we rolled off.
Well, It seemed It was a case of life
and death, according to the woman,
and I stepped on the machine and
hastened some toward the North Pa
cific hospital. But when we got into
Chinatown one of the men hailed me
and told me to. drive just as be said.
He got out here In front with me, and
when we reached a certain spot they
all beat it"
"Can you take ns to that spot?"
"I was just wondering to myself
whether I could find it," was the re
sponse. "But I'll try."
