"Looking for clues?" questioned Rand.
"Not so much for clues as news," responded Jack. "Perhaps I can pick up some of both. You never can tell when they'll pop up. Don't you want to go along?"
"And see how you do it," laughed Rand. "I don't mind if I do.
Written up yesterday's story yet?"
"About your heroic rescue of a lovely maiden from the angry waves. Of course; did it last night. Want to see it? I was going to put a head on it: 'Heroic Rescue by a Creston Boy.'"
"You don't mean it, Jack Blake!"
"Wait until you see it on the first page, double leaded, with a scarehead."
"Really and truly?"
"Really and truly."
"Please don't, Jack."
"Why, don't you want it?" asked Jack in mock surprise. "I thought you would be delighted to see your name in print."
