asked, “I don’t suppose Tony Giralda’s Environmental Action group would be one of them?”
    Carson was surprised. “Yes,” he said. “As a matter of fact, it is. How did you know?”
    Nancy told her father about her visit to the Environmental Action office. “From the look of the place, I can bet he has a hard time making ends meet. But he’s incredibly devoted to his work. He seems practically fanatical about it.”
    â€œA hefty bequest from Mr. Glover could be the answer to his financial problems,” Carson put in. “I see what you’re getting at, Nancy.”
    Nancy’s blue eyes were wide. “Maybe Tony Giralda is fierce enough about his work to want to cheat the real Matt out of his legitimate inheritance!”

    I T’S A POSSIBILITY, N ANCY ,” Carson told her. “There’s just one—”
    Nancy didn’t hear because she had already jumped up from the table and was heading for the front door. “I can hardly wait to tell Bess and George,” she said excitedly as she grabbed her jacket from the closet. “See you later, Dad.”
    She drove over and picked up Bess, and then they went directly to George’s.
    â€œYou mean Tony Giralda might be trying to frame Matt so he can get Mr. Glover’s money?” Bess said after Nancy had told them about her encounter with Tony and the bequest to his organization. “That’s disgusting!”
    â€œTony Giralda’s not the only one who might be cheating to get a piece of the Glover fortune,either,” Nancy went on. She explained her idea about Mrs. Adams coaching someone to play the role of Matt.
    George brushed a hand through her short, dark curls and seemed extremely dubious. “I don’t know, Nan. She seemed harmless to me.”
    â€œMaybe,” Nancy said. “The point is, whatever we’re dealing with, there may be more people involved in it than just Matt. I’m going to keep an eye on Tony Giralda and Mrs. Adams—and I think I need to check out Matt, too.”
    â€œWhere do we start?” George asked.
    â€œWell, I’d like to check out Gary Page’s credentials at the Chicago Clarion,” Nancy suggested.
    George looked at her watch. “If we leave right now, we could be back by early evening.”
    â€œWell, I already believe Matt,” Bess said. “But if it’ll make you guys feel better, let’s go.”
    Nancy frowned. “I wish we had a photo of him to take with us, to show the people at the paper.”
    â€œNo problem,” said Bess, blushing a little. “I just happen to have a very recent picture of him.” She fumbled in her purse and drew out an instant photo of Matt.
    â€œWhere did you get that?” Nancy and George asked at the same time.
    â€œI went over to the Corners this morning,” Bess said, her whole face bright pink now. “When Matt called last night, he said I should feel free to stop by, so I did. Mrs. Adams was snapping pictures of Matt and gave me one.”
    â€œPretty good detecting, Bess,” Nancy joked. “It’s just what we need. Let’s go.”
    Bess grinned. “And I thought I was just flirting!”

    The light snow had let up, so the three friends made good time. The Clarion offices were in the Loop, or downtown Chicago, and were in a building about five times as big as the one where the River Heights Morning Record was.
    At the main receptionist’s desk they were directed to the sixth floor, where another receptionist asked them what they wanted.
    â€œWe’d like to speak to someone about a reporter who worked here until a few days ago,” Nancy said. “Gary Page.”
    The receptionist spoke into a phone, then told them, “Ms. McCoy will be with you in a moment.”
    They could hear heels tapping smartly down a hall, and then a tall woman with
