Peep + toward*Mrs. Fogarty, «,.. Chaptersdys .. JISGER lay on the bed.in an at- titude of sleep,’his-senses alert, his ears listening: to the creaking sounds of feet, the ‘animal sounds of. voices. He was exhausted and his eye- lids contracted viglently to shut the world out, but the;room made a clear picture im his mind. Captain “A’hearn was a gro- tesque Jabberwocky breathing heavy clouds of cigar smoke just inside the threshold,-and. Mrs. Fo- garty was being uncommonly as- tute but futile in her attempts to usher A’hearn out of the room and pack into the street. A’hearn snorted, his thick mem- braneous.lips impaled on Jigger’s mind’s eye. “Ma’dm, I’ve been fighting my way in here inch by inch since I rang the bell over ten minutes ago. Does it have to be the club before you think better than to interfere with the law?” Mrs. Fogarty began a sentence with determined impudence, but her voice sinmienee helplessly without completing it. Captain A’hearn mov noisily across the room’ and Jigger felt trapped, tortured, .vi¢tim to the official ~~ poking swell of his chest. Jigger contracted into a ball and rolled to the farthest end of the bed, but there was no im- munity and he propped himself up on-one arm. “What do you want; ‘A’hearn?” ‘Athearn pointed conseientiously ‘énd Jigger smotioned: her, out of the room.

Jigger’s eyes: wa through the pall of cigar smoke, seeking 4o study A’hearn’s face. His throat was dry, but his.’voice managed scorn: “So you finally got around to ie coagel Joey.” ““Yes—for murder. I'm tipping you off so you can. get out from ander.” “Nice of. you to fi mupiding: me was the Oo PERISH CLIMBING SWISS ALPS By EANEST G. FISCHER AP Newsfeatures ' re that safe- cD ws OSENLAUI, Sie land The 1947 m. of climb- ing i Me = Swiss Alps has been marked by several ; snolable | feats, but an urof I tally indicates ‘the sport, took’ 64; lives.

In ‘addition, some’'30 persons were seriously injured. The unofficial death list of 64 compares with a toll of 57 offi- cially ‘intal sa fer the summer of 1946, _ Drought — “conalnthal which made‘ rocks brittle vand opened crevices in glaciers were blam- ed for the . increased : toll.

I sup- pose the fact that Joey’s not your. man has nothing to do with law enforcement.” A’hearn was irritatingly em- phatic: “Joey’s our man, all right.” Jigger stood at an open window facing the street and breathed in deeply until his lungs ached. “Be reasonable, A’hearn. No one’s after your scalp on this case. Why are you letting one little corpse get your dander up?” A’hearn lumbered to_his feet and_walked to within three feet of Jigger. His cigar waved ad- monishment: “One little ponges like two dead men, Jigger. I’m telling: you to get out from under —if you can.” [7 CAME to Jigger thirty, seconds later. “What do you mean—two dead men?” A’hearn pulled a. newspaper free from his coat pocket and stuck the front page under Jigger’s chin. Jigger’s eyes focused on the bot- tom of the page. . LOCAL RACKETEER SLAIN Bertram Nevers, narcotic peddler, also known as “Birdie” Nevers, was shot and killed in the vicinity of Pier 86 some time between mid- night and dawn today. A’hearn paused with his hand on the doorknob. “Birdie worked for Little Joey, Jigger.” Jigger was rueful. The lead Red had dug up by dint of bribes and shoe- Jeather had chilled quickly. “What does. that prove, Cappie? Why should Joey snuff out his own man?” A’hearn snorted, a wee humor lighting his face. “rm taking ad- vantage of you, Jigger, with you still half-asleep. It was in the cards for Joey to be revenged on Birdie. Birdie was the lad who sent the word around that Joey didn’t, pay the dead doctor his winnings.” Jigger thought aloud, “If it was in the eards for Joey to ex-out Birdie, wouldn’t Joey know he was sticking his head into a police noose by doing it?” A’hearn held the door ajar. “There was enough motive. Bird- ie’s whispering campaign put the finger on Joey- for a murder we might never have connected him him with. A big shot can’t stay big e first law of —_ if he puts up with that ‘kind |. | The Gitizens Fo Food Committee Suggeit: ' i of business. Also, Joey’s a guy with a long history of macliine- gunning during prohibition. Be- sides, how was he to know we’d even dream of a‘line of investiga- tion that would smoke up Birdie?” A’hearn laughed shortly. “The De- partment got the angle only by shadowing your boy-friend.” “It’s a still a little on the obvious side, A’hearn—too, too obvious.” “That's how: it‘'is with murder. You find a wife hacked to pieces and done up brown in the cellar furnace — it’s a cinch she had a husband running around with a blonde with fish-hook eyebrows. That's: how obvious it is, me lad. That’s how it is with ninety-nine cases out of a hundred in the po- lice book. Birdie slipped Joey a double-deal and Joey got his gun. It’s open and shut.” Jigger was climbing into his pants, hiding a pleased grin from A’hearn, Jigger notched his belt. “So you’re off to pick up Joey?” “Joey’s probably already in the clink. The word went jout to pick him up two hours ago.” “I want clearance to say good- by, to Birdie at the morgue, Cappie —in case the sentiment overpow- ers me some time during the day.” A’hearn asked suspiciously, “What for?” “T said sentiment—and in case.” “Anything else?” “Yeh. I might also want clear- ance to gander inside Birdie’s flat —if you'll do me the courtesy of telling me where he lived.” A’hearn was wrathful. Jigger was buttoning his shirt, the fog out of his eyes, his man- ner serene. “I also want clearance on a_heart-to-heart chat with Joey. I promise to keep strictly within bounds, Cappie.” A’hearn came back inside and slammed the door shut. His face was chewing violently and he ran the gamut of curses. “I told you Joey was a double killer. How can I closet you with him with the whole Department looking on?” “For me—you’ll do it. I have an abiding faith in your resourceful- ness.’ A’hearn kicked a chair over, his face broken. He struggled with the doorkneb and stormed into the hall. ~~ (Te be continued) | erm a ee | A “PEACE PLATE” FOR TODAY Save Wheat!
