not q kidd What's the idea?"
Simple enough, Pete. Sos we won't
get q certain place we're headed for
too early. There's only one thing
worse'n bein' too late-and that's ben
too early. Sometimes. This Is one OF
So Peter drove twice around Central
Park, and listened to Charley's remi-
niscences Of is years on the force. AT
another time these might have edited,
entertained and instructed him; this
evening their only effect was TO MI him
with heartfelt desire to shed Charleys
gore. But, as, for the second time. the
cab moved down toward the glowing
electric signs that turned night into
day over the somber masses Of the but
tressed midtown skyline Charley looked
at his watch again and tapped on the
window.
Down Fifth to REORGANIZATION go
west till tell you to STOP" he ordered.
"And take it easy, DO. We're IN no rush.
Keep close to the curb below Fifty
seventh-1'm sort Of lookin' for o

They turned out Of the park, and.
passing the cleaning, lighted bulk OF
the Plaza and Karl Bitter's lovely black
statue, that would, within month. be
surrounded by tulips in fun bloom, be-
gan { move, slowly, down Fifth avenue.
Already limousines and cabs were go-
ing north, permitting glimpses Of sttn
white shirt fronts and evening wraps In
every color OF the spectrum. Charley
half rose, and leaned forward.
"Slide over" he said. Change places,
Pete. want to be next the curb"
The cab moved along, jerkily, keep
ing close to the curb, its movement
slowed up by the drivers obedience to
that order of Charley's, since here the
numbering buses took up most Of the
room. Charley leaned out: he seemed to
be looking at the lighted shop windows.
Suddenly he spoke sharply to the driver.
Pull up-stop here Q minute" he
said
He had wrenched the door open and
dropped to the roadway before the cab
had stopped. Peter was always being
surprised by the speed with which
Charley could move, when it suited him,
in spite of his size. He saw him, now,
go over and accost a tall man, no older
than Peter himself, who seemed to be
strolling aimleSsly along, dinner jacket
and white shirt showing through his
unbuttoned overcoat. Charley spoke
earnestly for a moment; the other
nodded, then, and turned back to the
cab, following Charley inside.

said Charley.
I'm glad to meet you. Mr.. Wayne, ="
the plain clothes man said, pleasantly.
Got q hen on, have you. Charley"
I'm hopin' So" said Charley.

~ ETER and the detective drove
- back to Ross apartment house.
But this time they didn't go In
4 side. Charley, leaning from the
window Of the cab, gave Q Pc
culiar whistle and q dark figure
emerged from the shadow cast by the
awning. This, Peter saw, was not the
man who had been on duty before din
ner: He heard sibilant whispers:
Madison and Fifty-fourth," said
Charley, then. And when they reached
that corner, "Al right, Pete-come
along"
Halfway along toward Park avenue
| Peter saw one Of the lurking figures he
had now learned to expect, almost, to
see everywhere. And he saw that this
was the man who had, earlier, been
waiting at Ross door. At the same
moment he uttered an exclamation.
Hold it," said Charley, and spoke to
the other detective.
"Well?" he said, turning back TO
Peter. Whats eatin' you?"
Nothing except-Dr. Zahn has an
apartment In here"
yeah. That's where Ross is. This
bird trailed him here and telephoned
word back to the guy that relieved him
over at Ross house. You surprtsed?"
'Why-no-not specially. I remem-
bered now that Ross is a patient Of
Zahn's."
Yeah? Where'd he get the Jack to
pay that guys fees, wonder? Or
maybe the doc gives him rate. Good
chance to study human louise, at that,
I'd say. Sure he's been goin' to him,

Capone was regarded by federal

We are not through. and there
will be others to 60 the same road"
This was the declaration OF Atty.

Meantime, it was said author
itatively that plans for concentrat-
ed federal anti-crime activity
centered principally around New

time being these would continue as
the main battlcfrOnts.
