"Please telephone Mr. Malcolm Lightener that the younger of the gentlemen he called on last evening is here and would like to see him."
"Malcolm Lightener, the automobile feller?"
"Yes."
"Friend of your'n?"
"Yes."
"Um!…" The doorman disappeared to return presently with the lieutenant.
"What's this about Malcolm Lightener?" the officer asked.
"I gave the man here a message for him," said Bonbright.
"Is it on the level? You know Lightener?"
"Yes," said Bonbright, impatiently.
