FR AES OE, A, oe Gath fe Chapter 10 JTHE murder of Marr had no place in Rush's picture. They didn’t murder people in Forge City. It was too well organized. Somebody wanted Marr out of ‘the way and that fact in itself pointed to a rift in the lute. All was not well among the men who ran Forge City. It also pointed a path for Rush. Nothing boils a pot like suspicion. It seemed t suspicion was in- dicated and it was obvidusly up to Rush to supply it. Late that night he armed him- self with a jimmy and a flash- light, left his hotel and walked steadily for a t a mile. : The sign he e ted to see hung there against the dull late night sky. It was unlit now, but an hour earlier it had glowed its neon __ brightness in the letters Sully’s. [* a matter of seconds he split wood from wood and the door sprung open, On the other side was his destination, Mr. Card Sully’s pride and joy, a thing of beauty indeed. As neat a night club’ as Rush had ever visited in the dead of night. With a sigh of pure joy be moved behind the bar and found a bottle. He kissed it lightly and heaved it with all his might at a towering stack of glasses. They rained to the floor in a thousand pieces and a tremendous star ap- peared in the large mirror behind em. ‘ta - Again the sigh of almost boyish glee and then Rush went to work seriously. He smashed every glass and every mirror behind the bar. With his jimmy he loosened the bar itself from the floor’ and turned it over on its side.. From the kitchen he brought a can of lye ‘well mixed with hot water. This he sloshed over the midget dance floor, over the rich carpet- ing. Drapes came tumbling down to be sprinkled with a rich mix- ture of bourbon, scotch and gin. He opened bottles of champagne and fizzed them at the oil paint- ings with which Sully had deco- rated the few bare walls, ——_—-- tae eS | eee RE ee Gea eat et Oenpe Tea ess, , It was a complete, a total and wreck. Let Mr. Sully figure out who} Kit did that, thought Rush. That should prove enough suspicion to last for at le twenty-four hours. Then he could stir up an- other batch.

To all appearances he might never have left it. Then he peacefully undressed and as peacefully slept until nine o’clock. He might have slept longer, but he awakened to find a small wiry man with tight curly hair calmly pouring a om of water into his open mout “Robin Twist, you son of an ancient dog!” he shouted. “Hi, Rush,” said Robin. “I'm glad to see you, blasted midget. I think I’m going to need you bad.” While Rush shaved, showered, and dressed he gave Robin a fill- in on what had gone before, end- in ing with a once over on his raid of the previous evening. He told him what to do, “You will seek the company of middle aged business men, at a bar preferably when they have relaxed. Find out what they think about Marr’s death and about the wrecking of Sully’s joint when it gets out. Intimate that you have inside information that gang war fare has come to: Forge City. Say you have heard that Max’ Carney imported gorillas from Chicago to do:'the work, Be a little dark cloud on the horizon. Go about merbaniypey gloom about the fair name of Forge City and how it is about to be dragged through the mud of a nasty gang war. “Write me a letter every day and send it care of General De- livery.

Watch it as never be- ore.” . “Can do,” said Robin. mn nn. = ne ee - = Mrs. Frazier Leaves On 6,900-Mile Trip To Los Angeles, California, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Return Mrs. Nora H.

Rush looked him over carefully and turned back to Kit. “That would be our Mr. Sully,” e said. ‘ “It would.” “He’s heard about Mr. Marr and he’s taking no chances.” Rush indicated the men in the xX. The ‘race was being called and they turned their attention to the track. In the semi silence follow- ing the initial roar Rush heard further commotion to the rear. He turned and saw a man forcing his way to Sully’s side. The excited voice of the man penetrated the crowd noise briefly and Rush caught two words. Joint .and wrecked. Sully’s face turned to stone. He spoke briefly to the men on each side of him. The word was passed and the exodus began. “Now, I wonder what. that was,” said Rush to Kit who was also watching with a puzzled look on her face. “I don’t know, but oe ee ‘a r newspaperman’s gir iday ei didn’t try and find out.
