Aug. 16 (P small and fluffy and feminine he s about 25vears old. with brown hair that curls in soft, childish tendrils around her face And she has one of the most dan gerous jobs in the entire New York police department—a job so dan- gerous that her s riors never dis- cuss her by name with any out siders. Kecping her identity as care- fully guarded a secret as thev can, they still look worried whenever they mention her and mutter, “Well they'll get her some day She is attached to the narcotics division, this innocent looking young woman in a flowered chiffon dress.

Whenever she is about police headquarters, which is not very often, you'll find her down talking with the head of the marcotic division. Hers is no daytime job.

And her superiors and associates, worried as they are, have to admit that she is valuable. Several times there have been anonymous leters, in which her life has been threatened. She turned them over to the head of the squad and calmly weat about her husiness Once, not long ago, she received at headquarters a telephone call—an urgent request to investigate a place “down on South street.” trict known as street” is along the waterfront at the lower end of Manhattan.
