XOW GO OS WITH THE STORY 5 CHAPTER VII ' QUHING the taxtcab ride to police po-lice headquarters. J. Randolph 3ainey drew a package of cigarets Irom his pocket and held them .oward Bannister. "Have one?" he offered. Baniater took the cigaret. "This rirl ?"he paid, and then stopped Iwcause he could not go on? The reporter struck a match and Held it' forward. "Light?" he offered. Bannister accepted the light Gainey touched the match to hit )wn cigaret. "It as fast work!" be commented. "I thought myself ill that l!ne about the mysterious olond suspect was just a stall. 'Especially when Henley wouldn't give us the description " Gainey's roioe was quiet ar.d steady but his eye3 had narrowed and the blue in them seemed even brighter. "Do you think she did it? The girl, I mean?" The reporter shrugged. "How should I know7 Tracy King must have had plenty of girl friends all right. Vrobably wasn't above giving giv-ing them a dirty deal either. The rat!" Gainey spat viciously Into the air "1 hate crponers." he said. "That's what this guy King was. As an orrbfstra Ip-uler he was lousy The darm- II for him because be-cause of the way he sang." Gainey "s face assumed an expres sion of distaste. "Lousy!" he murmured mur-mured softly. . "But why are they so sure the girl did it?" "That." said the other quietly, "you will have to get from your friend. Police Chief James Adol phus Henley." I The ;ab turned a corner and a moment more drew up at the curb. Gainey flashed a card in the taxi driver's face a-nd dashed into the building, followed by Bannister. "Where's MeNeal?" Gainey demanded de-manded of the sergeant at the desk. "Upstairs They're all np there." Two steps at a time Gainey mounted the stairs Bannister was only a few feet behind, his breath coming rapidly On the second floor the reporter turned left down a corridor. Half way to the end. a door opened ahead of them and dark figure appeared. "Cunningham!" Gainey ex claimed. "Where is she?" THE man in the dark suit nod--1 ded. "In there," he said. "Steve Fisher's talking to her." BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES fni. a HOW NO r A 1 WASHINGTON TUBBS (ff AH! A SECRET SAFE fX THERE!

Talk to her? Did Sid get any pictures?" "Sure. I gave the whole story to Austin over the phone. .They've had her husband here all morn- J ing, only they didn't let anyone ! know it." I 'Her husband?" It was Bannis ter who cut in sharply. "They're trying to get a confes sion from him," Cunningham went on as though he hadn't heard, "but they'll never do it. That guy's too dumb to pull a murder." "ty. wait a minute'" The dim inutive Gainev's foice rasped,! av i harshly. "I'd like to know what this is all about. This morning we had the murder pinned on an unknown un-known blond damsel. Now you say they've got her husband " The- older man. regarded him for a moment. "That's another one." T he said shortly. "Oh. they're still ! looking for her. This dame's an usher at the State. Name is Car-lotta Car-lotta Scurlach ain't it a peach? Her husband's Herman Scurlach. Lat night they found a letter Scurlach wrote to King, threatening threaten-ing to get him if he sang a certain cer-tain song again. The guy, Scurlach, Scur-lach, is jealous of this crooner see? And the name of the song is "Listen, Carlotta" the same name as Scurlach's wife. There was a lot of other stuff in the letter about how King had better leave the girl alone. Well, last night King did sing the song nt the first perform ance He left the theater after that and he never came back." "We know all about that," Gainey interrupted. "How about! the letter? Did you see it?" Cunningham nodded. "Sid took a picture of it. Got one of the girl, too, when they brought her in. She's darned pretty. Spanish. I guess, or maybe Italian. Dark hair and eyes " "o vct rot a br;;net but the eWEYX WAV TTAWt OFF cried. "You've got to let him go I" blond's still out," Gainey Interrupted. Inter-rupted. "Say, where's Henley? The Boss says we've got to get the description of that other girl." rjMIE door at the end of the corridor cor-ridor opened then and an officer in a blue uniform stepped out. Suddenly, with a rush, a smaller figure was beside him. A figure in red and black and tan. A figure stamping and shaking defiant fists and bursting into a torrent of high-pitched high-pitched hysterical protests. "But you can't keep him here!" the girl cried. "You've got to let him go! He's my husband. He never urt anybody. You've'got to let him go. Herman's a good man. Just because ho loves me you want to tako him away. But you can't do it! This is a free country and 1 11 fight. I'll show you where you big bums get off! Such a nerve you've got! I'll show you " The policeman put a hand over the girl's mouth and Instantly withdrew it. "You little devil!" he exclaimed, holding up the blood-stained finger. "Quiet down now or you'll go Into a cell and stay there!" "I won't! I won't" screamed the girl. "This is a free country J" It was Gainey who stepped forward. for-ward. "Listen, kid," he said, "maybe "may-be you'd like to tell me about it. I'm from the Post and I certainly want to see that you and your husband hus-band get a square deal." Whatever Gainey may have expected, ex-pected, his words had an instant and surprising effect. Carlotta Scurlach's dark eyes widened. Then her carmined Iipsclosed together to-gether lirmly. She looked at Gainey but no words came from those lips. They walked down the corridor. Gainey at the girl's side. "I'd liko vMt a KNOCKED OrT P5H ' I 10 hear your side of all this." he was saying. "There's nothln' doln'l" the officer told him bluntly. "She won't talk to ycu. 1 told her when 6he came here she wouldn't hav to talk to reporters " They disappeared down th stairs. Bannister and Cunningham remained to eye each other. "Don't think I know your name,' Cunningham said apologetically. "Are you a new man?" gANNlSTER nodded. Within th past few minutes he bad experienced exper-ienced such a complete emotional let-down that he felt almost giddy. He bad come racing to headquarters headquar-ters from the newspaper office thinking he would find Juliet France there. Juliet France, arrested ar-rested for murder! He. could not explain, even to himself, the tightness tight-ness In his throat that picture had evoked. He had wanted to help the girl, had promised to help her, and he had failed. The extent oi that failure was completely humiliating. humil-iating. It was worse. Now. aftei seeing the dark-eyed, shrewish Carlotta, Bannister felt such reliel that It was a comfort to steady one band against the wall. "Yes," he said. "I'm working on the Post temporarily. Bannister'i my name. Used to work here yean ago." "Know your way around this place?" "I think so." Gainey reappeared then, bound ing up the steps, as usual, two at a time. "Wow!" he said," What a handful that dame is!" Cunningham said, "If you twe are going to stay I guess 1 11 beat it -back to the office. "O. K." agreed Gainey . "Teli Austin I'll call in half an hour." For the first time Bannister felt something like confidence in what he was about to do. The con vie tion that he had blundered tntc something he was certain to regret began to recede. "Gainey," he said, "there s ont thing I'd like to do right aw;i I'm about eight hours behind the rest of yoji fellows on all this iut I'm going to try to catch up I suppose you -ere out at the Shell.;.

Do you sup pose you could fix it up?" "Might see the Chief." Game) suggested- "You said you know him, didn't you?" Twenty minutes later, with message signed by Chief Henley tt his vest pocket. Bannister set out for the Shelby Arms. But he hao an errand to take care of first. He walked across town to Sixth street, continued until he reached the Hotel Tremont. Kntering. be crossed the lobby, picked up one of the house telephones and askeii tr be connected with Miss Juliet France's room. There , was some delay. The operator couldn't seem to get the name correctly After that there was a further wait. At last Ban nlster heard the operator's voice and then a man's. The man said. "I'm sorry. Miss France checked out of the hotel early this afternoon." after-noon." (To Be Continued) &C4 TO VOO ViATER: got a 1 BIM tohTJI, . WASH?
