'rYou mean Second South and
Fourth West. Our street enumeration

Still 1t is simple. II you take the tenn
pie square as the center and count nu-
merical!y. adding the point Of the COM
pass, you have the street name. Easy
when you catch 1t. AS 1t happens
Greektown lies west Of Fourth West
along Second South. Mr.. Reich evil
IDENTIFY intends to meet you at the in

"He said he'd be on the southwest
corner in about an hour" explained.
why the delay?" said Miss
Foote.
shook my head. "That was all he
said Miss Lucille. His voice sounded
as though he were excited"
Maybe he's dug UP a nigger,"
opined Colonel Mac. "Well, my
Lord, hope so."
Lucille frowned slightly, knitting
some point of thought At the end of
her brows as though seeking to grasp
a moment she rolled her napkin into
ball and pushed back her chair.
II think" she began, that I'll get
back on the job. OF course Mr..
Reich may really have picked up
something, but have learned to be
rather doubtful of information gained
in those sources.
"Veracity in dealing with others is
not shining merit Of our foreign
population. They are as apt to get
more than they give, then anything
else. / think I'll go down and en-
deavor to check up what Mr.. Reich
learns"
you mean you're going into that
place alone at night?" demanded
Sheldon. "Ain't that rather risky for
a girl, ma'am? Now looka here, Pm
just sort of useless dub in this mat
ter. Glace an Dual are the real show.
me an Homer are just sorter
trailin' along in case somebody needs
strong arm play or to burn some
powder. So you see they kin git along

pasear they're taking with Homer.
You let me go along with you.

dagoes at night. You take Colonel
Mac along"

Lucile's eyes turned upon him and
thought Z " glistened. She went
swiftly around and stood beside him
and she laughed with just the least
catch in her voice.
You're DEAR" she went on.
"But don't you see / can't do that.
This is business, and have to act on
the quiet. I'm used to the work-it's
my regular employment.
But don't think l don't appreciate
your offer. I do, and / wish-I wish
oh, wish I'd had dac like you.
There
"Mr. Dual" she turned to Semi,
I'm going to try and verify or dis
prove what you may hear down in
that quarter tonight. OF course
Reich's information, if he finds any,
may be straight, but l doubt it, I'll
report whatever learn to you later.
Better go armed, but not let any one
know it. Good-by now"
She walked to the door which Col
onel Sheldon opened and was gone.
"Whew!" calculated Sheldon.
MY hats off to that little woman.
She's sure one live wire. Maybe she's
made her mistakes, but lot of us
have reckon. l can respect person
who gets up after fallin' down. That's
what takes the real nerve
You hold with Browning, then,
that, we fall to rise again, are beaten
10 fight better, sleep to wake'?" said
Cemi.
"Never heard of him, but if he said
thct he was handin' out straight talk"
declared Sheldon. "Ain't l right?"
Decidedly right" Dual assented.

We left the hotel, took taxi and
stopped some moments later some
where on a thoroughfare traversed by
n railroad crossing. AS our chauf-
fcur's orders carried him no farther
he climbed down and opened the door.
We left the cab on the east side OF
the intersection and walked slowly
across, keeping an eye out for Reich.
lie appeared suddenly from the
door of corner saloon and came to
meet US. For the first time since
had known him he seemed free from
restraint and his manner was one OF
poorly suppressed excitement.
That's what comes of getting out
and stirring things up" he began as
