He had business with a rolypoly fellow known univer- sally as “The Professor.” The Professor had achieved a whole age in the Blue Book of radical- ism beforé a rheumatjc heart had forced: his retiremegt into the urely abstract “aspects of revo- ution. It was ten by the wall clock. Red was due to join him in thirty minutes. Jigger wanted to talk to the Professor before he got down to cases with Red. The Professor strode in and Jigger joined him at a rear table. He dropped two faded daguer- reotypes in front of him: “Did|few hours ago—the you know this fellow, Professor?” The Professor .peered at the og ela without interest. “No.’ ‘ : Jigger slid .a twenty-dollar bill under the Professor’s nose. “His name was':Herz: ‘Dr. Otto Herz.

You’re a walking encyclo- pedia of radicalism, M¥fofessor; and what you don't iow, you do know how to scelit. So go ahead. At least get‘me a nega- tive report so 1 can eliminate that angle.” . ‘Jigger spotted -Red coming in through the revolving doors.

Designer Esther I orothy bill. “Is this; the fee for the re- search?” # : Jigger hurried him on his way. “Go to it, Professor. If you come up with something useful, you can dig me up to fifty.” Red watched the Professor’s retreating figure quizzically' as he sat beside Jigger. “What’ve you got with the Professor?” “Just a microscopic question mark on Herz I expect him to enlarge or erase.” Jigger’s black eyes glinted, his strong bony hand describing a circle and repeating the circle. “If I told you a man’s exclusive reading diet—that is, his whole li- brary—consisted of Mein Kampf, Von Clausewitz, Nietzsche, Spen- gler, and’ more of the same, how weuld you figure the guy, Red?” Red’s answer was prompt: “I'd say the fellow was Fritz Kuhn —or one of his gauleiters.” “Exactly, Red. That’s why I’m subsidizing the Professor.” IGGER elaborated: “The first time out I glimpsed the stack of books, but it didn’t register with me. The next time out—a hospitable widow took a pot shot at me and I went diving for a foxhole near the same sectional bookcase— only this time it was empty. Even then it didn’t register until later.” A troubled look broke Red’s features.. “She shot at you— why?” 4 “Claimed I was an unknown intruder:in the dark and she was avenging the trespass.” “That’s: reasonable.” “She pulled the trigger a’ sec- ond time, Red, while I was partly up and facing her. It wasn’t that dark—unless the lady has 10-10 vision.” Red started to say some- thing but, Jigger continued ahead of him: ““When I finally’ faced her with the lights on. she showed no surprise at seeing me. Even admitting every reasonable doubt and al! of that-——-and even with her knack for keeping her pan inscrutable—how did she know I_ was no dick? Where does the cloister®€d widow Herz get her in- formation from?” Red stroked his chin in per- plexity. “Find anything on Leeds in Brooklyn?” “Leeds was blackmailing Dr. Herz.”.

She claimed that the doc came after—too late. Marie Leeds was a house-maid there.” Red whistled. “If the doc was nearly penniless, what kind of shakedown dough could Leeds drag from him?” « Jigger let the question go un- answered. “The widow claimed that she knew nothing of the actual details—beyond the fact of blackmail itself.” Jigger stuck his hand out at Red demandingly and Red went to an inside pocket, drawing a paper out. “I ran the rumor down—by sheer sweat and _ shoe-leather, Jigger. Every place I hit thought I was out to make a pinch and froze up on me. The barber told the grocer who told Mrs. Calla- han who teld her husband who works in the Department of San- itation who told so-and-so who told my tailor... .” Jigger scanned the page of text five lines at a time. “So it was Birdie Nevers. I thought he was doing time for peddling marijuana along Jitter- bug Row.” “You're misinformed, Jigger. Birdie drew a suspended sen- tence.” “But Birdie was always a card- board racketeer. Tying a kite to Little Joey’s ‘bank was an am- bitious job for Birdie—no matter how much he hopped himself up. There’s something there you didn’t get, Red.” | Red looked peeved. “I got what 1 you sent me after, Jigger. Birdie ' Nevers was the snake in Little ' Joey’s garden. He spread the rumor that Joey wasn’t paying off on important hits.” - Red rose to leave, his fist play- fully cuffing the side of Jigger’s jaw. “The very best advices I | could get say that Birdie is work- ing for Little Joey. Add that one to your jig-saw.” , (Te be conti wed) Scout Executive Arrives Monday | A. S.
