PARKE Cotrnev A were three people on the Square platform; the old woman, Rorty. and the girl. had Three south bound topped and still the girl waited. So Rorty waited too. He would have waited all day, as long as she was there, but he had an idea It wouldn't be necessary. Rorty was tough, leather-skinneyou wouldn't have thought It to look at him, but he had what amounted to an extra sense, delicate little feelers of perception, like Invisible antennae sprouting up from the round brick-har- d skull. He could tell when something was coming. Perhaps that was what had made him a good cop and, climbing from the ranks, a good detective; that and his amiable willingness to shoot it out on any and all occasions. Rorty was a mighty good man with a gun. He was conscious of the weight of it now, sheathed beneath his coat. THERE train hard-heade- Something Side Clo&inq JPert looked Jroch for junior J4ouAe 2)reM JdaA QUICK CHANGE car opposite him. But the pigeons weren't used to Rorty and they were closer than he'd thought; at his sudden approach they leaped into the air with clattering wings, a whirling cloud. Rorty dodged and smacked squarely into the old woman. He weighed two hundred pounds; she went down. He hadn't hurt her, but by the time he'd gone through the automatic reaction of picking her up and seeing that she was all right, the doors were closed and the train was on its way. "Thank you," the old ' woman said, but Rorty wasn't there to hear it. He was taking the steps four at a time to get to the street for a cab. "Gotta catch that train at the next station!" he bawled. "Step on it!" The pupils of her eyes seemed to swell as she peered at him. "Did you do it, Mart?" "The murder? Kit, you know. You know I've been straight since I got out. I've been sticking to the job. I've been getting good pay. I was in line for a raise when this " "But the police!" "It's a mistake. I swear it but 1 can't prove it. I was living in this cheap joint saving money so you could come on soon. Someone tricked this rich guy in there and killed him. I knew they'd look up my record and pin it on me, just like they did, so I beat it first. It's just luck, just crummy luck. "I've been going straight. Kit. I was coming; sure, was coming. This Any minute now. Rorty knew it They Week'f knew that McHugh had written to her, Best but they hadn't Fiction known what he had said. Now It was obvious: - He had arranged to meet her here, on a certain El train at a certain time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon and Rorty had been trailing the girl most of the day. He was going to bring McHugh in by himself, dead, as the saying goes, or alive. Most likely dead, or near it. notion McHugh would Rorty had use his gun before he'd let anyone take him; well, that was fine with Rorty. Let McHugh's hand move and he would see Rorty's hand move, but quicker, and that would be about the last thing he would see. Take no chances with a killer, most of all a young one. So Rorty stood there with his screwy extra sense thrumming like a violin string, listening to the rumble of the approaching train. He had been pretending to be in difficulties g with a machine on the platform. Now he gave it a couple of last jerks. His eyes slanted and he saw the girl stop her nervous pacing and stare at the train coming in. He saw that and he noticed too, though absently, the old woman who was the third person on the platform. She was feeding peanuts to the pigeons that always whirl and pout and parade around Sullivan Square. She was a tiny little thing, in drab black clothes, and she was smiling at the pigeons milling at her feet, strutting up for what she had to give them. The train rattled in and stopped with hiss and shudder of air. It didn't bother the pigeons; they were used to the El. The middle door of the first car opened and Rorty grinned and turned and took three quick steps toward the door of the yi""''-- Mc-Hu- gum-vendin- 1 To pack 8 To wipe 8 12 Nomad Subtle emanation Period of time 13 14 Sound 15 17 19 20 21 23 24 28 ac- companying breathing Small pebbles Loadstone To penetrate Rabbit' shome Scent Suit in court Pronoun Eastern term of respect Swarthy 28 31 By 32 Cistern 53 Therefore 34 Footlike 36 part Climbing species of pepper 38 Encountered 39 To make vapid 41 Couch 43 Last state of an Insect 45 Endures 48 Cylindrical 50 Coterie 51 Biblical garden 82 Card game 54 Moon goddess 65 Remainder 56 Guided 67 To appear Vertical Wise man 2 To become 1 S our Public speaker 4 Fluttered 8 Honey Conjunction v Y 1 233 recipes below.)

He yanked the wheels and slapped her through low to high. A light held them.

Both faces were young; alike too in that they were strained, white and empty. She moved to where there was more space and he followed and dropped down beside her. "You shouldn't have come. Mart. You shouldn't have taken the chance." "I had to see you," he said. "Maybe the last time. They won't take me. Kit. I'm better dead than in the pen again." the even been going to church. I even told one of the curates all about us. He said when you came on we could be married right, In church, I mean." He looked at her quickly. "Did you tell anybody?" "I had to," she said. "I told Ma. She would have known soon any way. She wasn't against you, Mart, in in spite of getting mixed up in that trouble. She said she felt you'd be a good man if you ever got a chance. Oh, Mart, what are we going to do?" "I'll get to Canada." he said. "I'll get there. Unless they they catch up with me. They aren't taking me. Kit. I can't help it, baby; I'm not letting them take me.

He caught it. all right, but not alone. "First pigeons," Rorty muttered under his breath with a few other words, "and now these lugs." He meant about fifty high school boys and girls. They were talking, laughing and pushing, and Rorty was jammed with them into the car where apparently they all wanted to stay. McHugh wasn't much older than any of these, Rorty thought grimly; well, SolatUa la Ntzt too bad, too bad; product of environment, they called It; polite way of saying slums.
