else again. You know didn't get the
full significance of that description.
But whoever it was that described it
as very long and very yellow meant
just that and nothing less. Not one
of the longer roadsters, you under
stand, but a roadster so long that it
was almost out of proportion and
would be conspicuous because of its
length. The same goes for the color,
not simply yellowy yellow, but a
vivid yellow that would hit you right
between the eyes. Follow me?"
I'm convinced" impatiently. Go
on"
Charlie, I saw that car Friday
night as sure as I'm alive"
Encyclopaedia"
well, I did. About the longest
boat I think I've ever seen, and
yellow? I didn't know anything
could be so yellow. I was on my
way home from the policemen's ball
and the car passed me just as I
stepped off the curb at the corner
of Field and Grand streets. I could
have touched it as it went by"
why didn't you call a cop?"
"Wait a minute. How do know
there aren't other cars just like
that one? And if 1 had been dead
certain it was the car, I wouldn't
have called a cop. You and I are
taking care of the Red Mask mys-

"THERE was a young fellow in

some reason I think of it in relation
to a green leather jacket. It may
be that I'm trying to force the pic

may be that I've seen that girl
somewhere wearing the green
jacket"
Granted you're right said the
assistant city editor, you can't have
a girl hauled in as material wit
ness to an abstract murder because
you think you've seen her wearing
something somebody said some girl
who wrote the cops was wearing. If
that's too complicated, I'll put it
this way: think you're seeing

Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not.
That's for you and me to find out.

Younger admitted to his cast that
further preparation for the musical
comedy was impossible without a
leading man, and Miriam came to
the rescue.
'"Ill have a 1eadin' man with
looks. youth, voice and Snappy feet

the next evening when they as
sembled in Buckingham hall,
Miriam walked in with no other
than the reluctant Jimmy Fitzmoan.
Here he is, Brett" Miriam an
ncunced. "Ain't he a match for
Mary Della?"
Brett laughed Jimmy had every
thing but experience and desire to
take the part, but Brett knew that
he no longer could look a gift horse
in the muzzle.
you're a wonder, Miriam" he
announced. Il don't know why 1
didn't think of Jimmy before. Tim
my, here's your chance to make
Lindbergh q second rate attraction.
How about it?"
Jimmy was far from enthusiastic,
but he caught Mary Della's wink
and succumbed. "Ill do my best,
Brett" he promised, 'but it's a new
line for me, if you know what I
mean"
"I'll tell you what, Brett" Mary
Della said. Throw in a couple of
petting scenes and Timmyll feel
right at home. won't you. Timmy?"
Sure" said Jimmy, 'if it's with
you."
"An right" Brett called out, hold
ing hand up for quiet; well try
to make Jimmy comfortable by be-
ginning with the scene where the
wealthy young man takes the good
looking little clocker out to tea at a
roadhouSe. Some of you get hold
here and help me put this table and
chairs up on the stage"
The table and chairs put in place,
Mary Della sat at one side and
Jimmy opposite.
Now, said Brett. everybody else
move back to about the middle of
The hall and holler out if they don't
talk loud enough. Ready, Mary
Della? Just read your lines tonight,
Jimmy. and you can learn them be-
fore the next rehearsal"
Brett backed down the aisle until
he. stood opposite the idle, but
thrilled cast.

heart"
Jimmy rested his elbows on the
table and read his lines.

ever occurred to you that you are

Wait minute! Wait minute!
You're not reading the Congressional
Record. Jimmy. Put some feeling

If you want to get rid of her we will take her
