We've got Joe Nielsen at last" he
told her, his pugnacious jaw jutting out
with the grimneSs of his satisfaction
Hes under arrest. And he'll stay un-
der. We have the goods on him in the
bomb explosion. He engineered the job"
The setting sun broke through cloud
and sent redgold beam slanting
across the editors desk to touch Cath
leen's cheek. 1t was significant, she
thought with Joe Nielsen safely shut
away from her and hers.
I'm glad she said. But I'm sorry
for his son Neil. and the rest of his
be restrained. I've heard of typhoid
carriers, people who carry typhoid
germs in their system and scatter them
wherever they go. Joe Nielsen is a
crime carrier"
We have enough on him to keep him
up the river for some time" the editor
said There's the bomb Job, and the
frame-up OF Millers men, and plenty
of other charges"
Has he done anything more about
foisting that crooked contract on nv
father?' Cathleen moved to the edge
OF her chair
Sure. He's a bear for punishment,
Boss Nielsen is He sent word to Dan
SdAlolI last LISIlL INTOugn one OF his
men that he was going to turn him in
on the crooked contract Seems like he
wants a little company in the Big
House"
He'll do it." Cathleens cheeks paled
Il hope he tries" The editors smile
was more forbidding than his frown
could have been. That's another strike
on him Our attorneys sent his man
back with the message that they had
Dan Carroll out in the blue-that is,
that they have proof that he signed the
contract in good faith and was entirely
without knowledge of the sleeper in it.
They told Mister Nielsen to go ahead
and shoot the works.
You're sure you can prove that
father is innocent?" Cathleen asked
anxiously.
"Ironclad proof" said the editor.
Dan Carols a good enough citizen,
but he's got a thick skull-pardon my
saying so. Some men think they're still
living in the Stone Age with its cave
man methods"
Father believes he's doing what's
best for me-" There was appeal in
Cathleen's voice. She wanted the edi-
tor to reassure her, to agree that it was
paternal care, not paternal selfshness
that turned her father into prosecutor
of his own child.
That's the h the heck Of it. He's
got the good intentions, all right. But

you'd think that, in this day and age,
even an old-style father would know
that his daughter Is free woman, not
q domestic animal on leash"
Perhaps he'll be different-after
this" Cathleen said hopefully.
He'd better be-" The editor wagged
8 sage head. Your friends, the No
lans, are due for a fine trouncing. Big
George Nolan is in the Nielsen muck up
to his neck. The district attorney is
set on pressing perjury charge against
the Nolan women. I rather favor it
myself"
Cathleen had vision Of herself and
Ellen Nolan. dressed up in their moth
ers' long skirts, playing house in the
back yard. That little girl with the
long yellow curls, her playmate, had
grown up to be perjurer, faithless
friend.
Persuade the district attorney not
to do it," Cathleen begged. Its the
only thing I've really asked you to do
outside of getting the lawyers for
father"
you've paid the lawyers" \
Then you'll do what you can about
Ellen and her mother?" Cathleen had
risen. was leaning across the desk.
Il suppose So" the editor muttered.
tniuk, tnougn, MISS CarrolI, that
you're making a mistake. This business
of turning the other cheek is nice
enough in books, but it doesn't go in
real life. You've got to learn to take
blow and come right back with a
stronger one if you can"
Ellen and I grew up together. Now
she's engaged to be married to a nice
boy" Cathleen said. 1T would ruin her
life"
Looks like case of her ruin or the
boys. Her kind make bad wives"
Il think Pat-the boy-can handle
Ellen. At least I want them to have
their chance"
'I'll see what I can do" the editor
promised grudgingly.

~ Julia and with Paul Allison to

was there with Kenneth Hall.
you must come to my house-Warm-
ing" Diana said, attempting the easy
camaraderie of the Village. I've taken
studio on Washington Square South.
It's perfect duck Of place, crammed
full of atmosphere and all that"
Cathleen's start of surprise did not
escape Diana'S Watchful eyes.
you'll bring Kit and Julia, won't
you?" Diana purred to Allison. III let
you know the date later-as soon as we
finish the first act of the great Amer
lean drama. Ken and I are doing a
play together, you know"
Kenneth flushed under Cathleen's
quick glance. So Diana Draper was
using Kenneth Hall as he had tried to
matically. But the smile was not an
enigma to Kenneth. He caught its
meaning and resented the fact that
Cathleen should perceive the truth with
such unerring accuracy. Diana's pre-
tense to literary aspirations was pretty
pathetic. 1t was her tinseled plaything
OF the hour. When she discovered how
meager was her ability to engage in
the game. she would toss the plaything
aSide-laugh at it-aS she would toss
aside Kenneth and laugh at him.
Nevertheless Kenneth redoubled his
attentions to Diana Kit should see
that the prize she had missed was no
longer hers to win.
I've talked it over with Tom" Diana
contlded to Cathleen. Hes not pleased
with the idea of my skittering around
down here. Anything south of Thirty
fourth street or west of Fifth avenue is
Summing to Tom. But he believes l
have it in me to do something really
good so he's going to let me have my
fling"
Cathleen listened with every show of
polite indifference. But she felt neither
indifferent or polite. So Tom Drew
thought he was due for a Summing
party when he had suggested taking
Julia and herself to dine in the Village!
She was glad she had evaded his sug-
gestion so effectually. Of course Diana
was his reason for wanting to come
down here. He wanted to see the
strange animals who inhabited this part
OF the city-to make sure Diana was
safe playing among them.
The next day Cathleen had sum-
mons from the editor of the Express.
There was real news, big news for her
this time.

Battalino Outpoints Fidel
La Barba In Square
Garden

NEW YORK. May 23-R-
Christopher (Bat) Battalino OF
Hartford. Conn. still wore the
royal mantle that belongs to a
worlds featherweight champion to-
day but 1t fitted him no better
than the first day he donned II.
An under-dog in the betting.
Battalino walked off with the deci-
sion over Fidel LaBarba Of Los
Angeles in Madison Square Garden
last night after Is rounds OF as
dull and u~ninteresting fighting as
the Garden has seen.
Even in victory. Battalino at no
time flashed the form associated
with champions. He chased La
Barba all around the ring but
wasn't exactly sure what TO do with
him once he overlook him.
In justice to the champion. how
ever. 1t must be said he tried to
make a fight OF II. He forced what
fighting there was but his own
awkwardness contrived 70 hinder
the effectiveness OF his attack.
La Barba. usually one OF the
most aggressive OF battlers, opened
up only in flashes.
Battalino lust made the class
limit Of l26 pounds. La Barba
weighed lbs 10.
