From the way he leaps to your bidding, it can’t be any- thing less than. murder.” Jigger mused aloud. “So the doc neither toiled nor reaped, t groceries and paid taxes without coin of the realm. What did he do with the twelve. thou- sand he won from Little Joey?” inquired, “How do you know Joey paid:off?” ; e ruin that was Munsey floated across Jigger’s mind’s eye. pete pon his explanation... “Joey used every ‘torture device on his controller Munsey, ‘except~ feed him gallons of castor oil. Stuck lighted matches under his toe- nails, scrambled his face into a Western omelet—just to. make sure that Munsey delivered the twelve thousand to the lucky doctor. I’m of the opinion that “Munsey paid off, Red.” Red spat his disgust. “They ought to legalize lotteries and drive these rats to cover.” “You sold that article once, Royal Railroader Costumed To Fit | LONDON. — (AP). — Britain’s ' “royal’ railrcead man, Ge oa'ge | has retired’ after and queens on their royal way.

How. did the no-payoff rumor first get started along the grapevine?” digger lit up and concluded in an .executive yip, “That’s your next assignment.” Red was dubious and unhappy. “I don’t wart to whine, Jigger, but can’t you take your business somewhere else? What you ask is a full-time job. I did a clerical stretch in A’hearn’s office for three hours yesterday. Last night I banged ovt a feature on ‘Crimes of Atrocity’ and had to bribe a feature editor ‘to get it in this week's. Sunday suppreiient. You get the by-line.

Leeds, 1710 Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brook- lyn?” Red ruminated briefly. His re- ply idled momentum, “Maybe a hunch I dunno.. Maybe there’s a slumbering detective somewhere inside’ me. “Get to the point, Red.” “The doctor was a fastidious record-keeper. Through the years until the slack hit him, entries were complete and frequent. Thé ° bulk of these file cards were yellow with age. As a matter of fact, the whole kaboodle were a wee yellow except the M. Leeds card. It was whiter and the in seemed fresher. The card = h four entries on it that didn’t mean much to me except that the fastidious doc dated none of them.” Jigger beamed. “Smart boy, Red. The basic alpha beta gamma of detection is to look for ‘incon- sistencies. You’re right on: the beam.” , r Red said wryly. “Thanks. Do I go to the head of your school for ciitae?” a Jigger got up and tousled Red’s hair—what there was of it.\“Nice | going.

After a few short turns and encores you'll find Little Joey’s the killer after all.” Jigger dismissed it. “There was a personalization in that killing, ignored. The doctor wasn’t merely killed. He was destroyed down to the last shred of face. Joey might have coveted the twelve grand but he didn’t hate the doc that much.” (To be continued) nine arched alcoves and providing a total seating capacity of 1,600 is one of the features of the design recently’approved for the interior ofsthe famous Baha'i Temple located here.
