SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1939 ‘YESTERDAY: Tacks’ Aunt Vee burdens him with a hound of hell named Lily. Despite his protests, he is forced to take said hound for a walk in the park, Chapter 19 Seene Of Disorder r- WAS approximately two weeks since Tacks had set eyes on Miss! ‘Packy — ‘Two miserable drag-\ P weeks, 4 was sunk. And, to add to his disgust, it was highly probable that he alone was going to “ \Se diaiate keper thecease cece ie did m w the exact tat his three cronies had made with their Sp ytd assignments, -he gathered that they considered them in the bag. Jumbo Cutlerand ‘Van Harkness were a carefree twain of lemen these days. As’ Steele, he like-' seemed all set. Duly ‘bailed out from the clutches of the law, Bill had approached Mr. Diffen- derfer and suggested that legal proceedings were both tedious and expensive. Why not, Bill had pro- jae settle this thing out of cor It-had taken a certain amount of Persuasion. Mr, Diffenderfer had .allowed that Wi was a men~ ace who ought to be cast in dur- ance vile and kept there. Neither’ could he be completely divorced] from the notion that William rep- resented the odious Bernie Feld- man in the capacity of freak-steal- er. But, first and last, Mr. Diffen- derfer was a business man. In the end he capitulated to the lure of old. A sizable sum changed ids. Mr. Diffenderfer a ‘the Noro ee and William wi 4 out into the sunlight a free man. While brooding over these moody details, Tacks Adams ar- rived at the ‘stone steps which’ bunker the southern entrance to the Central Park Reservoir. For the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with the witching. city of New York, the reservoir lies midway between the extreme ends of Central Park. A footpath wee ri ois locked Be: os undays and holidays, when the cliff-dwellers of Gotham ate re- leased from the chains of industry, this footpath teems with humani-' who have come out to see if the is still there as it was last Sun- day or holiday. But on weekdays one often finds the path either nearly or completely deserted. Tacks found it nearly deserted today. He perceived one or two figures some distance ahead, but ne scant attention to them. Then e suddenly realized that the dog Lily was still partnering him. All the way to the reservoir Lily had walked with sedateness and|’ gravity. Now, however, she was in territory designed for capering, and, by gad, she meant to caper. But this sap Adams was showing’ no signs of releasing her. To call attention to this distressing state of affairs, she braced. herself and gave a mighty tug on the leash. Mr. Adams eyed her with dis- favor. Then he tumbied. He bent and unsnapped the Teash. Lily bounded gaily forth. Tacks followed, his eyes on’ the ground. He himself had no desire to caper. His capering days were over. He wante be left alone to contemplate the wasteland of his existence with ‘cynical bitterness. But even this was to be denied him. _A sudden sharp scream came to his ears. He euser up quickly. For a second he could not deter- mine from whence the sound had come. Then, gazing straight ahead, he perceived that which was cer- tainly out of order. Fifty yards up the footpath a fe- male figure was perched on the stone coping from which the high | 4@rk wire fence that surrounds the res- ervoir arises. With one hand ‘she clung to the fence. With the other she sought ars gegen to beat off ‘the advances of a latge gray shape that bounded and frisked about her knees. Tacks swore and char; for- ward. It was just as he had warned his Aunt Vee. That imbecile dog ‘would scare somebody, But twenty yards from his quarry he stopped short. The girl whom Lily had [Brasdt nothing save to fu forced to take refuge on the stone coping was Packy North. Hideous Merriment A= right there Mr. Tacks Ad- ams got the most outrageous brainwave of his entire career. himself for the successful execution of this in- spiration, Tacks was Cooter aided by the fact that Packy ha not noticed him as yet. That young ‘woman was €ngrossed in landi1 sharp, but futile, slaps on the moi snout of Lily the wolfhound. She had no time at the moment to note casual wayfarers, Tacks took ad- and gained the peace of the reser- ‘ voir about one minute-before Mr. Adams and his tesque familiar had ‘come ‘to the same ter- rain. She hund: had haps two red yards along the: 1 hen, along the foot- -she became conscious ‘padding'sound behind her.

Indeed, a long interval passed before P: was willing to con- cede that this creature was a dog. During that interval she had screamed and leapt to the stone coping. And the apparition, giv- inga fair imitation of the Fenris wolf in ‘a mood of hideous merri- ment, had leapt after her.

Therefore, -as-soon as ‘she had succeeded in calling Hamlet's ‘attefition to thé leash, Lily had left Fie at Bir feedbox. No point in ; to: get a romp'out of a sour- puss ike that, reasoned Lily. Bet- ter to have a cl of personnel altogether. And the most likely prospect on the footpath, in fact, e only prospect, was this cool- ing lady whom Lily, on initial inspection, considered an extreme- ly neat bit of goods. As her vision cleared, Packy be- | came a trifle more willing to per- mit Lily to wave in the class of the ‘canines, Even so she retained her place on the jing. For to one un- accustomed to Lily, it was difficult to dist her moods of play- fulness from. those she assumed in time of war. Furthermore, ‘Packy was wroth with Lily. The forepaws of Lily had already done dire | things to the front of the yellow organdy.
