PACKARD OO ee em eee eee coe8 COCO SSOSSU COCR OOCOCOOOSOOCO® SYNOPSIS: Reddy Purner, erook, asks Colin Hewitt, mystery writer and Boylood friend as well, to deliver a letter for him should Reddy be put on the spot. Reddy tells Colin he is the only man he can trust; also that the letter t» hidden in his room, in- sidea curtain pole. Colim asks that: Reddy explain why he ts fearful of his life, and in front of a coal fire in Colin's comfortable quarters in an old stable, just off Washington Square, New York, Reddy begins die sad tale. Chapter Three: UNDERLYING TRAGEDY t Secubilag voice was suddenly flat. “She was still only a kid of course vhen you left the old town, because she was nearly six years, younger than I am, but I guess you remember my sister Annie, don’t you?” Colin nodded uneasily. He did not like the note that had crept into Reddy’s voice. “Annie!” he said. “Rather! I’ve toted her around a hundred times om the handles of my bicycle, and all the while she'd sing like a little lark, She was @ great youngster. 1 suppose she was about eleven or twelve when I finally left the town. She was a good little pal of mine— Pete, who had been put on the spot.” “I remember reading about that,” said Colin hoarsely. “It was front page stuff, but the name, of course, meant nothing to me,” “No,” Reddy said; “of course it, wouldn’t.”* “And then?’ Colin prompted. through. tight. lips. “You said something about Annie being pretty when she was a child.” Reddy’s lips were working now.. “Some of them don’t grow up that way. Annie did. When she married Pete, there: wasn’t anything in town that could toue her, And she was: straight! There was only one way that swine.could get her, “I got out two months ago, and Annie’s beer dead nearly five now. way he got rid of her when he got tired o her, or perbaps found out that she’d got to know too much, or whether she managed to escape and, crazy with it all, did it herself; but it was murder either way.” Reddy laughed again—it was @ jangling, discordant sound. “That’s why I can’t leave New York. That’s the ‘job’ I was talking about. I'll get the man who did'it—or he'll get me, That’s why I've got my fingers crossed on what may happen at any time to me, because I know what I’m up against,” “1 hagas eho dove. the. cae when: Pete was bumped off.” after you went away, Reddy. We beth; missed you a lot, What has made you mention her tonight?” “She's part of the story I’m going to tell you,” Reddy answered with @ crooked smile.’ Her body was fished out of the river here six months after French Pete, that we ‘were talking about, was put on the spot. That's why French Pete was bumped off—Annie had been mar ried to him about a week before.” “I don’t think I quite understand,” Colin said heavily, “Somebody ‘else wanted her,” Reddy laughed unpleasantly. = Pete was in the way, that’s Colin's hand dropped to his side and clenched. “My God!" he exclaimed hoarsely. “@o on!” “French Pete was a pal-of mine.” Reddy's voice was flat again. Reddy paused and circled his. lips with the tip of his tongue. “HE police didn’t get anywhere,” he went on. “Anyway, it isn't a police, job—it's mine.” “The code, of course,” Colin nod- ded in understanding, “Well?” “I Know who drove the car the night Pete was bumped off, and I know who the two guys were that made a sieve of him with sawed-off shotguns, but there’s no hurry about them, Their turn will come—but they're still useful, It's the big noise they worle for that I’m after.” “You know who he is?” Colin’s voice was husky. i “It I knew who he was,” Reddy ‘stated evenly, “he wouldn't be alive tonight, No; I’m not sure yet. But I've gone @ long way. Listen! Your ‘master minds’ and ‘super crooks” ure jokes compared with the one I'm talking about.
