Harry waited silently for further instructions.
“Tune in on Station WNX at six and nine — if a radio set is available, and you find it possible. Notify me if you are able to do that, when you send your first report. It may prove valuable later on.
“Find out all you can about Professor Whitburn. Study the personnel of his establishment. Learn who is there, and why they are there. You have a real job ahead of you.”

“Have you seen Bruce Duncan?” questioned the insurance broker. “That is, since the day when you had lunch with him?”

“I have called him there, but have received no answer. I suppose he was in the city, and his servant was not at home. You should be able to reach him there. How is he concerned in this matter?”
Fellows shrugged his shoulders.
