She laughed.

Still 1t is simple. II you take the tenn.

merically, adding the point of the CON-
pass, you have the street name. Easy
when you catch It. AS 1t happens
Greektown lies west of Fourth West
along Second South. Mr.. Reich, EVIL

tersection."
"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 Niger"
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 a shining merit of our foreign
population. They are as apt to get
more than they give, then anything
else. l 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 I'm

trailin' along in case somebody needs
a strong arm play or to burn some
powder. So you see they kin git along
without me all right on this little
pasear they're taking with Homer.
You let me go along with you. I
don't reckon a girl oughter be prowl-
in around among lot of wops an
dagoes at night. You take Colonel
Mac along"
"Colonel!"
Lucile's eyes turned upon him and
thought they 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 don't appreciate
your offer. do, and I wish-I wish

"Mr. DUAL" she turned to Semi,
'T'm going to try and verify or dis
prove what you may hear down in
that quarter tonight. OF course
Reich's information, II he finds any,
may be straight, but doubt 1t. I'll
report whatever I learn to you later.
Better go armed, but not let any one

She walked to the door which Col
onel Sheldon opened and was gone.
"Whewl" calculated Sheldon.

She's sure one live wire. Maybe she's

"You hold with Browning, then,

Semi.
Never heard of him, but IL he said
