DAVE PORTER IN THE FAR NORTH
"My name is David Porter. This is my friend Roger Morr."
"Porter? Why, I've heard that name somewhere." The woman mused for a moment. "Why, yes, Nicholas Jasniff had a friend by that name—a gentleman much older than you."
"A friend!" gasped Dave. "Oh, that can't be true, Mrs. Clever!"
"Well, I heard him say something about a man named Porter. They had met somewhere—I think in London. The man had a daughter named Laura, and I think this Jasniff had been calling upon her."
