The victim, then just beginning TO

the stories of other victims who fell"
for the story of the stolen roll and the
high family ties and Perth Amboy and
everything.
In the stories OF ordinary panhan-

however. there was sequel.
1t was four o'clock on a Sunday
morning and the victim mentioned in
Part I and another night working pal
were sitting in one of the most luXuri-
Gus armchairs that could be found in
several years inspection. They had
just completed a general free-fOr-all
discussion of the ability of various

violently open by two men. The new

invited the other TO order anything
he wanted.

The victim turned slowly He
wasn't mistaken. He couldn't forget
that face nor the Undermined spec
tacIes perched on the-now that he
noticed it-rather re-VolSteadian
nose. His inclination was to do some
thing that would measure up to the
statute that covers felonies, but wait
ed until Doeley and his latest sucker"
were well on their way TO the end of
the meal. Then he walked over, his
pal bringing up strong rear.
Hello Doeley." he said in greeting
How about that buck?"
You've certainly got the advantage
Of me Doeley answered in voice
that had its root in the Social Reg
lister. You certainly have. l guess
I've got standard face"
No YOU haven't" the ham-and eater

Doeley stood on his dignity until
bit of paper upon which he had writ
ten his name and an address and tele-
phone number in New London were
produced. Then his eyes popped out
at least three-quarters of an inch.
