"Well, of course, In so far as that young lady is concerned Ive done an about-facso I suppose she wants an explanation. She doesnt want any explanation. She doesnt even want your affection. All shes after is your cash." Well, of course, I did promise her the thousand dollars; I dare say she predicated certain payments on that promise and my reversal of form has probably embarrassed her greatly. Im a little sorry the lady lost, but a little glad I wonl Of course, he added parenthetically, I never was the least bit in love with her. She .went to my head, like champagne, when I was with her, but when I wasnt I found It hard to keep up steam. Nellie, I must have been crazy to tell you to play second fiddle. "If we are to be judged by the worst we do In this world, Elmer, wed all be out of luck. Now, when I look over my mental ledger account with you, I see a long string of golden credits page after page of them and on the debit side I find one little human entry under the explantory head of Doris Gatewood. This lone debit Item is composed of equal parts of blindness, repression, curiosity, stupidity, flattered ego, childishness, masculine idiocy and original sin. You didnt fall without a battle and when you fell you hurt everything that was fine and decent In you and knew it. You werent really happy in your new conquest You only told yourself you were. And as for little Nellie Cath-cathinking for an infinitesimal fraction of a second that she could possibly descend to playing second fiddle to that doll well, Elmer, you are a sweet fool Why, Im the whole orchestra.

"Youre a hopeless idiot, Elmer. You will persist In making an angel out of a human being. Well, have one little dance with me and then well go home and commence your education. When Elmer dropped Nellie off at her home he had the audacity, the monumental masculine assurance, to attempt to claim a good night kiss. Nellie laughed at him. Ill not kiss you good night, she declared, because Im not particularly desirous of kissing you and youve forfeited the n right to ask it. He drove away to a degree.

Elmers garage stood at the rear of the lot and opened on Hazel drive, so Nellie walked boldly up to the door, gave the prearranged signal and was accorded instant admittance. Theyre waiting for him, said Detective Sergeant Fahey out of the corner of his mouth. I saw them. Elmer will be along Is in five minutes, Nellie gasped. everything all right? Right as a fox, said Detective 'Sergeant Lipowsky. Elmer will come down C street in the direction of Hazel drive. Hes expecting them, so there will not be any talk on the porch. Hell take them inside immediately. However, one or both of you might go out to the corner of the house and listen. The two detectives waited five minutes and followed her suggestion.

Detective Sergeant Fahey clamped the receivers over her ears and held the flashlight for her as she spread her note book out on the front fender of the flivver, leaned over it and prepared to take dictation. The two detectives were also listening in. Elmer unlocked his front door, switched on the light and walked 'on into his bedroom to put away his overcoat and hat before returning to the stuffy little parlor where his Nemesis awaited him. Nellie thrilled with a vast pride as his first words same clearly to them via the concealed dictograph. The eyebrows of the two detectives went up and Detective Sergeant Fahey dropped his prognathous jaw in a comical grimace, for without an Instants hesitation Elmer had seized the initiative by going directly to the attack.

Your boy friend here is out of the picture. Charley, if I hear one peep out of you Ill knock you for a double loop. That being clearly understood, say your say, Doris, and then get to blazes out of here before I throw you out. Followed about five seconds of profound silence, then: Hands up, Charley, my boy!
