You are either cut out to be « cessful spy or you are fot le from the qualifications that get one on a payroll the good espionage agent must have an inborn lust for adventure, a yen for daring-do, a nice apretite for danger and a deep contempt death ; To thousands of espionage and counter espionage agents, the glamor gals and_ the steel in testined lads, are enjoying the thrill of living in their chosen manner. They are well paid, busy happy and chuckling like crazy at how they are gumshoeing about frustrating the undertaker This glamorous existence doe not, however, include the Russian spies and, their. satellite cohorts Why it has got that the everage Russian spy in this coun- try must rely upon’ wrestling atches and burlesque shows in p to get the nee to the thrill that is so ar to the heart of a good agent They go about humming Thrill Is Gone” and a lot of them just let themselves get caught to escape the monotony of going about enjoying our lousy capital- is way of life.

Old Man Hunter is also Willie’s uncle. Willie and} his wife were cousins.” Rumely took off his wide-brimmed hat and -:opped his brow. “Now, I'll ask you a favor. Nobody wants any publicity in this, so I'd appre- ciate it if you fellows kept it all under your hats. The Hunter family’s somebody, and Willie is a big headache to everybody.” A smile floated over the waves of cheek. “Besides, if Willie ever hit the newspapers as a freak item, Old Man Hunter’d call in my badge. Do I have your promise?” Jicger nodded, his earlier dis- like somewhat dispelled. Rumely jvoiced nis thanks, extending a wet hand to Jigger and Red in turn.

That) god-awful candor was a bribe.” Red frowned. “But does Willie connect with our case?” “T doubt it.” “Why?” “Because the police evidently didn’t think so. Because Willie is what he is—all fantasy and no) fact.” Red nodded, enough. And exit Willie from our scheme of things.” He consulted his watch. “It’s almost three.
