——— —! a _— "Write your name in this book." This was in compliance with a request which Nick had made. When the prisoner had been removed, Rogers turned quickly to Nick Carter and exclaimed: "That was her brother. His name 1s Alvarez, not Gonzales." "When did you see this man last?" asked Nick, when they got outside. "Last winter. At Tampa, Florida." "Are you quite certain you have not seen him since then?" "Absolutely certain. But how on earth did you get hold of him, and for what?" "You will know that later, Mr. Rogers." They were now driving rapidly toward Dorchester, and Nick decided to discontinue his investigations until he was safely closeted with his companion 1n the latter’s home. Having arrived there, Nick asked him abruptly: "Was Dr. Lord at Tampa with you last winter?" "Yes." "Did he also meet this fellow Alvarez?" "I am not certain; but I think he must have seen him, as he and I frequently went to the gambling rooms where Alvarez did business." 40 comicboolk CO
