NOW GO ON WITH THE STOHY CHAPTER VI I1M PAXTONS face Sighted as be saw the figure In the doorway Hello there!" he exclaimed. "Glad ;ou came around." Paxton put side the .cigar he had been chew lag and leaned back in his chair . "Lord!" be sighed. "What a morning! " Bannister sauntered to a chair beside the editor'a desk. The desk itself was piled high with a litter of newspapers, galley proofs, large maul) la envelopes and a stack or , letters that had not been opened, v "How much did you lose last night?" Bannister demanded. "Oh. it isn't that I followed your example and went home early." Paxton assured him. "but I've been down here since six o'clock. That blasted murder last DUbt hit us in a bad way. The Times had all the best of It, of course, coming out this morning. Did a good job, too. "It hit us In a bad way," Paxton repeated. "Kennedy, the city editor, edi-tor, is laid up in a hospital and his assistant is a new one. Only been on the Job two months. Besides that," he frowned, raisrng his two hands In a gesture of defenselesB-ness, defenselesB-ness, "we're short-handed. One man off on a late vacation and another an-other quit without notice. There are a couple of youngsters filling In but they don't know what It's all about!" "What's new on the murder?" Bannister asked. "Nothing apparently. I guess they're still looking for the mysterious myste-rious blond. More promises that they'll have her at headquarters within 24 hours.' Say, it's a whale of a story, isn't it? You don't know what a sensation that crooning orchestra or-chestra leader has been in this town! Girls and women all crazy about him. Sending him letters and cakes and all sort of presents. pres-ents. Asking for autographed pictures. pic-tures. Why, our telephone opera-lor-'s eres are red and awnllan And they say one of the girls in the business office has been crying half the morning " "Must hare been popular," Bannister Ban-nister agreed shortly. "Popular8 no word for It! And then there's the society angle his engagement to Denise Lang, the richest girl in Tremont. Why, it's the sort of story that doesn't break once in five years and," bitterly, "we don't ven start on It before the Times has cleaned up!" 2 "1 wouldn't say it was cleaned up," Bannister commented. "Not until they find out who killed him." "Oh. no, of course I didn't mean that But the Times bad the whole story all anyone's been "able to get so far. If Kennedy were only here or I had two more reporters re-porters !" as OANNISTER had been sitting -"with his chair tipped back. He brought the two front legs of the chair to the floor now, straightened and said quietly, "You want more BOOTS AND HER II -cAot YOU oo'i portv vos II ctv tor TjrVtM ffcMA S' WASHINGTON TUBBS s( A f ' l""M "'-n x , , f ' ' 'mteMu Li u I 1 .Vv , If I " ' r I F M"ml win r i it vr1 18 r JfiZi a 7uc half reporters, do you? Well, I'll take the job." "You'll take it!" Bannister nodded. "I'd like to take a fling at it," he said. "Remember "Re-member what we were talking about last night about the thrills and excitement we used to have? Well, I'm bored. I've been bored for months. Haven't a thing to do with myself or my time. Here a cracking good murder breaks and I'd like tq get In on it .Maybe it's because I'm back in Tremont " "Why. Lord love you, Dave! You don't mean you want to be a reporter re-porter on the Post again, do you?" "Why not?" Bannister was talking talk-ing eagerly now. "I'd like to find out who killed Tracy King and why. Oh, I don't suppose I'll be much help to you! Probably I'm stale; been out of harness too long. But I can do leg work. I'd like to be on the inside of a murder story once more and see the wheels go around. I used to have a pretty good standing with McNeal and I'll bet I still know half the force " -G-o to it!" Paxton told him curtl7. "Theje.Kasneyer. a better police reporter in Tremont then you were, Dave. Maybe you'll get some ideas you can use in a novel." "Yes, and maybe I'll get my neck broken." Suddenly Dave Banni.Mer grinned. "This is going to be run! ; never lacked. One subject and -Going to be " He st-opped 'only one, was there on which J. "There's one thirrg. ' lie s;iil "1 !

Bannister were in the city room the same large, square city room, scarcely changed, where Bannister had worked years before. The city desk was set at a different differ-ent angle. Bannister recognized none of the men gathered around It Desks and cabinets covered most of the floor space. They hud been rearranged, too, but the room had the same air of activity, of BUDDIES SHOO!

From beyond came the muffled roaring and whining and grinding of machines. Oh, it was all quit familiar. But the faces of the men and women about the room were different dif-ferent Paxton strode a few steps forward, then called, "Oh Gainey! Got a moment?" Down came the outspread pages of a newspaper. Down came the tipped-back chair. A young man with a brown felt hat tipped back at a rakish angle upon a head of very red hair emerged from behind be-hind the newspaper. He crushed out his cigaret and got to his feet. "Yes, Mr. Paxton," said J. Randolph Ran-dolph Gainey. "Sure! Is there anything?" any-thing?" He did not finish the sentence. A pair of eyes of unusual blue-ness blue-ness searched Paxton 's. J. Randolph Ran-dolph Gainey was slender and slightly below average height His cheeks and the ridge of his n'ose were amply sprinkled with the freckiea . ihi.soten aflcoznpanyJjgaxton spoke tersely. "And see if red hair and a fair skin, J. Randolph Ran-dolph Gainey was 22 years old but he had packed into those 22 years a list of activities that was amazing. amaz-ing. Confidence and energy he "Gainey," Jim Paxton was say ing. "this is Mr. Bannister David Bannister. Used to work here. Since then he's been to New York and written some novels and made a name for himself. Been to Mexico, Mex-ico, too, and Hollywood and I don't know where all." CHEERFUL . grin overspread the reporter's face. "Sure," he said.

It was -good picture, too. 1 heard that you were in Tremont " "Wait a minute," Paxton said. "I'd better get Austin." Austin was the assistant city editor, car rying on In place of his chief. In another moment the four men stood together while Paxtou explained Bannister's status as a sort of ex-ofllclo member of the staff. Austin was nodding understanding under-standing and Gainey . looked perplexed. per-plexed. Some of this perplexity faded as Paxton repeated, "it's still your story, Gainey. Uanuis-ter's Uanuis-ter's not to write any of the copy. He's to work with you, take part of the burden. Who's down at headquarters now, by the way?" "Cunningham," Austin informed him. "I came in to write the lead." Gainey explained, lie glanced at the clock on the opposite wall a quick, nervous glance, "(iucss I'd better ba getting back." he went on. Bannister will go with you." you can't get something this time! Make Henley talk. He must have something he's holding back! Try to get the description of that girl they're looking for. How do they expect to find her if they don't let us know what she looks like? For God's sake, give ns something new for the final!" A telephone shrilled. Interrupting. Interrupt-ing. A loud voice calit-d. "Austin! It's Cunningham on the wire From headquarters! " The assistant city editor ran to tbe desk and Jacked up the Instiu ment "Hello, hello!" he said nervously. "Yes this Is Austin." The others drifted nearer, aa though drawn by an irresistible force. Now Austin was pulling copy paper toward him. one hand holding the receiver to his ear. "Yes," he said excitedly, "I got it. Go on!" With a quick half turn toward Paxton he exclaimed "They.'v.e just brought, that girl lu the one they've been looking for!" . (To Be" Continued) ' ;iA!
