A Strange Detective
You are more interested in the
strange events leading up to the mys-
terry than you are in the detective
before he solves the problem. This
is accomplished by the clever trick
of centering the readers interest up
on the two sisters, their husbands
ana other characters.
The trouble with 80 many mystery
stories Is that the author fails to de-
velope flesh and blood characters. Not
SO with Hext. He puts real blood in
the veins Of his make-believe charac-
ters. OF course, their crimes are often
beyond human comprehension at
times.
Hext confused me with words and
situations just as the author Of 1.-THE
Bat" did on the stage. He uses bust
ness, a stage term, to battle the
reader.

By NEA Seruics
NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Toots,
diminutive Chihuahua hairless poodle,
scampers about the death house cor
ridors in New Orleans parish prison.
For more than a year however
since he was just a pup-Toots has
shared his masters solitary conf1ne-
ment.
He knows little about the sunshine.
He has caught a ray of it, peeping
through jailyard walls, only on those
rare occasions the guards let him
romp about the prison court.
But Toots, entirely unaware of it,
has been the only sunshine the six
men on the condemned tier have
known since the courts decreed they
must die for the murder Of Dallas
Gaines, independence (La.) restaurant
man.
Keeps Up Masters Spirits
Joe RIM has been happy in Toots'
comparionship. The dogs presence
has much to do with RIMS apparent
CHEEKY disposition. TOOts has been
happy, too-that is, ne was until few
days ago.
Since then he has lapsed into a sort
of melancholia. Jailers say he has
scented his masters fate,

will hang with RIM, Friday, May 9,
