Dick smiled as he thought Of the

Of the many and curious clubs that
had sprung up In London since the war.
There were dance clubs and supper
clubs; some in gilded saloons: not a
few in furtive cellars, converted at great
expense into halls Of gayety by the
engagement of the inevitable synco-
pateu orchestra and loose system Of
membership. He noted the normal ir-
regularities and checked them for fri-
ture action. His tour finished. he
strolled home. The clock was booming
the quarter to IL as he came into
Upper Gloucester place, where his 1odg-
ings were. and his hand was in his
pocket feeling for the key, when he saw
a man walking quickly toward him on
the opposite side of the road. There
was nothing unusual about q quick
walker at this hour Of the night, nor
even remarkable in the fact that he
carried bag: for Marylebone Station

by the late trains often passed through
Upper Gloucester place on their way to
their homes.
He didn't recognize the man as he
came into the focus Of q street lamp,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-11

but the bag certainly seemed Of familiar
shape. FOR Z moment he debated with
himself, and then, though every cell
Of hts body called loudly for sleep, he
turned back and pursued the bag.
There was practical reason for his
act. In his then nervous state, X he
had omitted TO make closer inspection
and satisfy himself that his eyes had
deceived him, he would have laid awake
for hours, cursing his laziness. The
chase was q little absurd, for one bag
Is very much like another and seen
across the width Of street on o dark
night and by the unsatisfactory street
light the resemblance Is even more
complete. But he was determined TO
see that bag and quickened his pace,
as he had need to do, for the man
ahead Of him was walking rapidly,
though the grip was so heavy that from
time to time he changed his hand.
His way led down Harley street, but
he kept on, and then at this stage of
his annoyance Steel began to run. He
was within dozen yards of his quarry
when the man turned and, seeing his
pursuer, followed his example and ran
swiftly, turning into a side street and
diving into one of those narrow pas
Sages which abound In those parts.
Bag or no bag, the fugitive had q rea-
son for his fight, and, Steels police
man instinct aroused, he sprinted.
There was no policeman In sight and
the runner with the bag evidently knew
the beat so well that he could avoid
the unpleasantness of meeting a repre-
sentative of the law, for he doubled
round again. This time he was not so
fortunate; there was an officer on point
duty at the corner Of the street, and
the quarry checked, hesitated a mo-
ment, and then, as Steel went up to
him, put down his bag and, lodging

In that brief space Steel recognized
him; 1t was Slick Smith, Should he

was his proper objective. At this mo-

That same evening, Sergt. Steel and
his superior were two of the coun-
Gil of three that met at Dicks fiat. The
third was the inspector In charge from
Marylehone lane, and the subject Of
discussion was 551 and Its artistic treas.

IT take 1t you'll have the place opened

CHAPTER LIx.

TIME landlord of Slick Smith was
a tolerant, eaSy-going man. He
knew that his tenant lived or
the shady side of life, but thai
neither heightened nor lowered
Slick Smith in his estimation. To him
his lodger was a man who paid his Dill
regularly, was invariably courteous
gave no trouble and was grateful for
any little services which the landlord
q highly respectable lawyers clerk,
could render to him.
He had had what he called q heart
to-heart talk with Smith as soon as ne
discovered his nefarious calling, and
that conversation might be summarized
into a sentence: "You may do what
you like, but you must not bring me
or my house into 'disrepute."
Visitors he looked coldly upon, Tor
visitors savored OF conspiracy; and, to
do him justice, Slick Smith seldom Oh
Tended in this respect.
The landlord heard q knock that
night. 1t was IL o'clock-that hour
which separates, in some intangible
fashion, the sheep who go to bed before
and the goats who frolic after. The
landlord himself went to the door and
found a young and prepossessing
woman-a stranger to him, and, as far
as he knew, complete stranger 20 his

The landlord hesitated. Visitors of
any kind he objected to. but lady vis-
ttorS at IL o'clock at night offended
him beyond measure. Nevertheless,
thinking there might be some good ex-
cuse for her presence. that she might,
for example, be sister or messenger
from his sick mother or something
equally proper, he went upstairs and
knocked at the door, receiving no an

CURB ORDERED
ON BUYING OF
GARAGE CHIEF
ManIove Purchases Trucks
for State From Highest
Bidding Concern.

A. H. Hinkle, maintenance super
intendent OF the state highway de-
partment, under whom the motor
transport division now functions,
announced Friday that the system
of permitting the garage Superin-
tendent to receive and tabulate bids
on motor equipment is to be aban-
dOned.
Such action will be in line with
recommendations made by the state
board OF accounts.
Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner
of the accounts board, Friday de-
clared he will urge the commission
to take immediate action in the
matter. 1t was recommended first
by field examiners of the board of
accounts in 1928, he pointed out.
At that time the commission ap-
proved the report and recommended
ton, but the reception bf bids at
the garage has continued.
Manlove, Buys Trucks
Under the highway law the bids
should be handled by the director
and commissioners, Orr pointed out.
Omer S. Manlove, highway garage
superintendent, had charge of bids
received early this week on snow
plows and four wheel-drive trucks.
Five F. w. D. trucks were bought
Wednesday. When one of the lower
bidding companies called him by
telephone Manlove replied: n
Il bought those F. w. DIS"
1t had been reported several days
earlier that this would be the re-
suit, although the Four Wheel
Drive Auto Company of Clintonville,
Wis, makers of F. w. D. trucks, sub
mitted the highest, rather than the
lowest, bid.
Hinkle defended the award on
the ground that it was the truck
best suited to their use. They are
used to drag snow plows on northern
Indiana roads.
Called Unfair Award
One of the bidders declared to-
day that the commission can pro-
cure F. w. D. trucks for almost
nothing from the federal govern
ment and that Sthe only change
needed would be to equip them with
pneumatic rather than hard tires.
He contends the award is abso-
lutely unfair to the lower bidders
and will discourage further compe-
tition.
Eleven now-plows were bought
from the Baker Manufacturing
Company, Springfield, o.

ACTORS VOGUE
Hollywood Mind DepIored
in Parliament by
L.aborite.

| BIZ United Press
LONDON, Nov. 30.-ImpoSition
of the Hollywood mind" on Brit
iSh children was deplored and de-
nounced in the house of commons
Friday by the Rev. r. Sorensen, Ia
Dor member.
Sorensen attacked especially the
employment of children in the the
atrical industry, and said:
There is often imposed on them
what 1 could call the Hollywood
mind which, in the course of time,
poiSons the childhood mind. One
does not wonder that a large num-
Der of them are, in the early part
of their careers, saturated with
banahty, vulgarity and insanity"
In connection with the motion for
second reading of the children and
youths employment bill, SorenSen
centered his attack on the allega-
ton that theatrical children who
are still relatively innocent are
brought into an atmosphere which,
while it may be appropriate for So
phisticated adults, is entirely foreign
to the minds of youths"
Stating that the bill would pro-
hibit the employment of children
under 10, except those already
working, SorenSen said the bill was
my sweet revenge" for sufferings in
his own childhood.
IT ask you to join in securing my
revenge" he said.
He eventually withdrew the meas
ure after the government had as
Sured him that a measure dealing
with child employment would be in
troduced
