PAGE FOUR’ * "~* Chapter 15+. .- IGGER walked-ran out of the door, down the short hall. He retrieved the Gladstone, ran down the stairs, unlatched the double * bolts, reached the sidewalk. Around the corner, Red was drowsing in.the hack of the Im- perial. Jigger, togsed the Glad- stone on ‘his’ lap and got into the driver’s seat. Red started up with the starter: “What’s with the bag, Jigger?” The Imperial streaked forward, snaking through groups of kids playing shenanigan in the gutter. “TI snitched it, Red. It belonged to . Birdie.” : “What's in it?” “Break it open and find out.” Red toiled, raising a sweat. “No can do, Jigger. Samson couldn’t force this lock even if he had hair down to his knees.” Jigger held a lug-wrench over his shoulder: “Here. Go to town!” Red threw himself into the chore with much ughing and a fearful clatter. His breathing la- bored over the din of the motor. “Red, you better cut down on the smokes. You’ve got the wheeze of an __ octogenarian. Haven’t you opened it yet?” Red ughed mightily and said yes finally... 4 “What’s inside?” ... Red dug into the bowels of the ‘Gladstone. After a pause he '. “Find anything, Red?” “Birdie carried.a satchel full of treason.” ae “Don’t editorialize, Red. Give me an itemized statement.” “Well, from the looks of it, there’s at least six ‘different ~ Baker Pleads Conservation . ee er 8 Z . = a nc en a subversive publications—mostly pamphlets, and about a short ton of leaflets. From the kaleidoscopic look-see I’m getting of heads and leads, it seems everything is attacked, slandered, pooh- poohed.” One of these leaflets has a recent date on it and is ad- dressed to ‘my fellow-workers of parts factory 9 of Aero Aircraft.’” “Anything else, Red?” P “More of the same, generally. Oh yes... acouple of rolls of film —miniature stuff.” IGGER pulled to the curb. Red caught a view of the same urchins he had fought a pitched battle with thirty minutes earlier. “What’re we doing back in the same place, Jigger?” Jigger pacified: “It must be pretty obvious to you that there’s a job to be done, Red.” -ed_ sniffed suspiciously, “What're you softening me up for?” Jigger said brightly, “You're going to play lookout.” “Lookout for what?” 2 “There’s a gent upstairs with Birdie’s woman. He sounded like he was climbing into his clothes in order to poke her one and whizz out the door. 1 want you to trail him.” 3 Red argued against the project wearily: “What’s the point?” “I heard Blossom Nevers, or whatever. her real name is, say that Birdie got his lumps because of new ideas this gent you’re to trail put in Birdie’s head.” Red preferred to be one-cylin- der about it all. Crimebusting might be fun but shadowing was a form of spadework that added up prosaically to fallen metatarsals, hot dogs on the run, and practically no applause. In School Talk Last Night HOPES TO HAVE AUDU-¥ BON CAMP SITUATED SOMEWHERE ALONG FLORIDA KEYS John Baker, president of the _ National Audubon” Society, ad- dressed a mixed group of adults} and children numbering about | ,200 last night at the Harris | ‘School auditorium, Southard street, on conservation and its produgtive results. Baké# told his audience that! Key West was a wonderful place ! ‘ to live in with its bird life, wa- ter and delightful climate. The | National Audubon president | gave a brief sketch of John’ Au- dubon, for whom the society is! named. He said that Audubon | came to Key West many years | ago, and: that one of his famous! paintings of the “White-Crown- ed Pigeon” had a Key West’ background. should be enjoyed in a non-de-! structive way. “Conservation is the order of the day,” he said. | Two moving pictures, one de-' scribing’ an.

DATES ARE SET FOR water birds were exhibited with explanatory remarks by Baker. Oliver Griswold, Monroe County Audubon Society presi- dent, spoke before the tive of the wildlife in Key West and adjoining areas. Griswold told the audience that a check of the Key West Public Library, Duval street, revealed not a sufficient num- ber of books on birds, and that the local society had in- structed Treasurer Norman D. Artman to purchase three books locally to be presented formally to the Woman's Club president, Mrs. Eva Navarro, at the next meeting of the Au- dubon Society. + Baker also spoke before the Division Street Elementary School this morning at 8:45 o'clock. Accompanying Baker to Key West was Charles M. Brookfield, ! tropical Florida representative | of the National Audubon Society.

So what?” fi Jigger dripped drama to give the project magnitude: “This guy is a key figure—I've got a strong hunch. By now it must be as ob- vious Red, that Birdie had a pile of dough he never could have gotten working for peanuts. for Little Joey.” Jigger ended stir- ringly: “The case might pivot op what you find, Red. Ta this ga- zabo, identify him and the rest of it. I'l] see you later.” Red envied Jigger his preroga- tives. “Where you going, brain? “First, I'm going to get these films developed. Then I’m going to mail a sample kit of these leaf- | lets back to Birdie’s missus .with an apocryphal ha-ha-I-caught- you signature appended.” Red looked blank and asked what for. ee “With Joey in cold storage, Tm trying to egg whomever were after, if anybody, into an impro- visation.

So far, your job doesn’t sound like work.” “Then I’m going to see Little Joey. He needs cheering up." a4 Red swore under -his breath. “Still doesn’t sound like . work. Why don’t we swap assignments?” Jigger was bland. “You've got all the subtlety and talent that make an A-1 shadow, Red. I'd probably absently walk up to the uy and ask for a match. Besides, ’m Little Joey’s special agent. bs ig just another guy that hates im.” : Jigger started the ‘ab and Red went to take up his vigil.
