...left, Linnie guided him back to the hotel. Next morning Linnie was still gone. Papa La Fleur, Milo and all of them were beside themselves except Dolly, who sniffed and snapped at their suspicions, said Linnie would make out all right. When Papa La Fleur took to his bed Milo wired Linnie in Chicago, in care of the power man. That brought her back.
