PAGE FOUR 4 Casual Sta ones By VIRGINIA HANSON =*2 Chapter 43 Bugle Calls T FIRST I thought the Randly child meant an automobile horn,” Gerald went on. “I took her to a big automobile accessory shop and she listened to every horn in the house. She thought it was great sport, but it wasn’t like any of those. The horn she heard was pretty, and played tunes. “I began to see the possibilities. A school of music; an isolated teacher of wind instruments; or simply a crowded neighborhood where there was an amateur tooter. If I could find out what kind of horn it would narrow music store.

The m bills were old and d. But their serial num- bers re taken, naturally. And early in igust they began to filter in. A tremendous amount of routine work was done track- i one down, usually to a shop, or a prosperous, ding citizen who was at to account for his possession »m note. From all over Chicago they began to come in, and 1 we began to get a pic- the possessors y had made change er in the elevated differed in their 1e stranger. One said it was a little old man, an- other on elderly woman. A third| described a fat man, another a well-dressed young woman. Al- for the possibilities of dis- ise, there must have been at feast a couple, man and woman. “The method was always the @ame. A prosperous-looking citi- @en—usually a man—would be ughters with the story that the ticket seller had d a twenty-dol- lar bill, and so on, with the pros- Perous citizen digging down in jeans and doing the favor. “Two of our most sartorially ele- gant operatives began to make the rounds, From station to station and back Cae going out, com- ing in, watching for the little by- play. One rainy night about two weeks ago they came down the elevated steps together, and one of them went into a tobacconist’s to make a telephone call. The other was sheltering in the door- way against the rain when he saw a little old man, his hat pulled low over his eyes, come out of a drugstore halfway down the block and run spryly up the steps to the station. “On a hunch h. was never able to explain, the operative followed. A train was just emptying itself as he reached the platform, and the old man, standing in the shadow of a stanchion, was hand- ing a bill to a well-dressed, port- ly man. The operative pounced, but he wasn’t quite quick enough. The fellow ducked into the mill- ing crowd where it was impos- sible to shoot, and the thunder of the departing train covered the shout of warning. Halfway down the stairs he swung over the rail, dropped into the street and, duck- ing through the milling traffic, darted into an alley and was gone.” “But the operative saw him!” “He did, yes. The stoop, the thick-lensed glasses, were obvi- ously a disguise. But the opera- tive thinks he would know him again. And remember, we have his fingerprints. Those two things beat the jackal out of his cover to new shelter where, to his un- doing, a little girl’s memory of a bugle call had already drawn our attention.” “Who Was He?” “\7OU mean—here?” “I mean here. I was a long time puzzling it out, and I've been a ionger time proving what I grew to suspect. There were the charred bills. At first it looked like the end of the road, and that our kidnaper and the ransom money had both gone up in smoke. That was the way it was meant to look. Those twenty-five hundred one-dollar bills were a jburnt offering to fate. But it didn’t work. Bad luck for the murderer. Triple murderer. For of course the man in the car was murdered, too.” “Who was he? Immerman?” “Immerman turned himself in at Corps Area Headquarters this morning, after he read about the last murder. He admits to having robbed the taxi driver. He was stranded in Chicago without jenough money to pay his way back to the post, and if he stayed overnight he wouls be marked the difficulty. He says he meant to pay the driver back, anony- mously. Then he heard Adam tell- ing you about the insignia. He had missed one, but had no idea where he lost it. That scared him. But when he went to put on his uniform blouse to go back to bar- racks that afternoon, there was another one gone. And when you saw him buying a pair at the Post Exchange, he decided the only thing for him to do was go AWOL in earnest.” “But if the man in the car wasn’t Immerman, who was he?” He looked at me. “You ought to be able to figure that out for yourself. There’s only one person it could have been. There'll be dental records to prove it—there was a plate. Of course, we don’t actually need those records. We have also a baggage check which was found under the insole of one of Felicia’s shoes—” “Felicia? But you said it was.a man! Gerald, are you telling me that she—you don’t mean, you can’t mean that it wasn’t her niece?” “I think it was, at first. The little girl Julia talked to—they wouldn’t have dared let _ the Randly child talk to anyone. Then Felicia took the niece to Chicago and put her on the train for home, and it was the Randly child she brought back with her. Remem- ber, Julia said ‘hey didn’t come out to the beach after that, and only took walks in the evening. Some sort of removable dye on the child’s hair, and a pair of thick-lensed glasses with bows that were taped with adhesive under her hair, so that she couldn’t take them off. The little girl told me about that, herself when I thought to ask her. No wonder she couldn’t see very well! Arrgh!” There was savage- ry in the fringed eyes now. “That Bridewell woman will go to the chair, too, if I have my way She’s been groveling—said she agreed to the thing only because her husband was going on wit: it anyway, and she wanted to Le sure the child came to no harm But that the murders were dom without her knowledge—” mecosted apologeticully ss he left whe station—always a busy one— This Errant Youngster Knew What Ailed Him Associated Press) INGTON, N.
