"I think he has a clue. We
found out from here that she received a long distance message
during the afternoon. Where did Jameson say you were--Rockledge?--
that's the place. Of course we don't know what the message was,
but anyhow she went out to meet some one right after that. The
time corresponds with what the maid says."
"Anything else?" asked Craig. "Have you found any one who saw
her?"
"Yes. I think she went over to your laboratory. But you were out."
"Confound it!" interrupted Craig.
"Some one saw a woman there."
"It wasn't the maid?"
"No, this was earlier--in the afternoon. She left and walked
across the campus to the Museum."
"Oh, by the way, any word of Norton?"
"I'm coming to that. She inquired for Norton. The curator has
given a good description. But he was out--hadn't been there for
some time. She seemed to be very much upset over something. She
went away. After that we've lost her."
"Not another trace?"
"Wait a minute. We had this Rockledge call to work on. So we
started backward on that. It was Whitney's place, I found out. We
could locate the car at the start and at the finish. He left the
Prince Edward Albert and went up there first. Then he must have
come back to the city again.
