Mr. Glizer was at first aloof, feeling that the management of the Coliseum was being unjustly suspected of
something. They corrected this impression, and Mr. Glizer unbent to the extent of assuring them there had
been nothing suspicious. тАЬOutside of the matter of the seven counterfeit tickets,тАЭ he added.

Miss Clayton pounced on that. тАЬWhat counterfeit tickets?тАЭ

Mr. Glizer explained that one of the Admissions Clerks had spotted a counterfeit ticket stub, and that a
search of the tickets had been made, and six other counterfeits had been located, or seven in all.

тАЬAre counterfeit tickets to the Coliseum a usual thing?тАЭ Benson demanded.

тАЬNo, sir, not at all. This is the first time.тАЭ

Miss Clayton frowned. тАЬDid these doctors who attended the lecture buy their tickets?тАЭ

тАЬNo, Miss, they didn't. The Convention management rented the Coliseum for a lump sum, and distributed
the tickets to registered attendants of the convention.тАЭ

тАЬThat,тАЭ said Miss Clayton, тАЬmakes it seem darned strange that there would be counterfeits.тАЭ

тАЬI'm sure the personnel of the Coliseum would not be engaged in anything shady,тАЭ said Mr. Glizer stiffly.



тАЬJOE,тАЭ said Miss Clayton when they were leaving in a cab, тАЬI have a hunch, and I don't like it.тАЭ

Doctor Benson eyed her intently. тАЬI imagine you feel the same way I do. A vague, gnawing suspicion that
there might be something rancid afoot.тАЭ

тАЬRancid is right,тАЭ Miss Clayton agreed. тАЬI think we should do something.тАЭ

тАЬWhat?тАЭ

тАЬPut our suspicions,тАЭ said Miss Clayton, тАЬin more capable hands.тАЭ

Benson nodded miserably. тАЬBut I hate to disturb Doc Savage at the hospital about what may not be
anything after all.тАЭ

тАЬDoesn't Doc Savage have some helpers?тАЭ

тАЬBy Jove, you've hit it! He does. He has five friends who have worked with him a number of years.
They're just the fellows to sic on to this thing.тАЭ

тАЬDo you know where we can find them?тАЭ

тАЬNo, I don't. But we can try the headquarters which Doc Savage maintains.тАЭ

тАЬLet's do that,тАЭ said Miss Clayton. тАЬI think that's the smart thing to do, since we're not detectives
ourselves.тАЭ
