He was out | of town, she was told. No, he had not said when he would return. Huck had gone to a town a few | miles up the Hudson river where a retired gangster kept a convenient | hideaway camouflagde as a chicken farm, He had business with the pro- prictor, one Ras Foberlin. On her way from the hotel Mil- | dred passed the Mettle Agency, and though she would not allow her steps to slow she could not keep from glancing through the plateglass win- dow, phen Naturally she did not see him as he was even then headed for J.
