Three Years.
"As you suggested over the phone,
Rankin" he said. when preliminary
introductiOns were completed, "Pve
had every train from New York
watched for this woman's return. And
her apartment has also been under
observation. so that we won't lose
track of her afterward. According to
the last report had from the chap
assigned to that job, she is there now"
"Then she's arrived?" Rankin nodded
his satisfaction. "GOodi I was afraid
she might disappear on the way or
change her mind and destination.
What time did she get in, Captain?"
"Only this morning. at ten-fifteen."
Chambers replied. "She heat you BY
just few hours. From your descrip.
ton. we spotted her at the depot"
The detective pondered a moment.
sand she only reached New York at
noon on Friday, the day before" He
commented slowly. THAT means she
spent single night there. = How
did you learn so quickly that she had
gone and when she was expected back
again?"

ments. yesterday afternoon. You see.
she doesn't live alone; she merely sub
let's two rooms in apartment Dc from
the tenants--a family named Dobson.
Before she left last Sunday, she as
sured Mrs. DobsOn she would return
either this Saturday or Sunday-to
prevent her quarters from being rent
ed out while she was gone" The Cap
tain paused. Exactly why are you
after her. Rankin"
1T is in connection with murder.
The facts are rather complicated, but
I'll summarize them for you on our
way to see the girl. Now that I'm
here, I'm anxious to question her and
get her evidence as soon as possible"
AS the detective rose. Chambers
pursed his lips in a low whistle.
"That sounds rather serious" he
said, also rising. 1--WE had better start
out Immediately"
By the time the two officers drew
| up in police car before the Holcomb
apartments. Rankin had finished his
account of the crime and his most re.
cent discoveries. At the door of DS
the Captain knocked. and when It was
opened by Mrs. Dobson. tired frousy-
looking woman, inquired for Miss Myra
Prentiss.
A moment later, the chorus girl ap-
Rankin. comparing her with the wom-
an she had impersonated. was at once
struck by the resemblance. Like Laura
Jordan. she was statuesque. her beauty
professional; she possessed the same
seductive physical allure, enhanced
by her questing dark eyes and bow
lips.
She could not conceal her fright. as
her visitors presented their creden.
tails; her face paled and her slender
hands fluttered nervously. Perforce.
she ushered them through the long
hallway within. into a makeshift liv.
ing room at one end. Still. Rankin re-
fiected, her fear might we'll be due to
knowing from Mrs. Dobson that the
police had inquired about her move
ments the day before.
Captain Chambers waited until they
were alone. seated behind the closed
door.
There is some information we want
from you. Miss Prentiss," he hogan
sternly. "Mr Rankin has come from

pressly to. obtain II. And we expect
you to tell the truth" he added warn.

Told that Maddox would ask Federal

cation, Wallace Townsend, United
States attorney at Little Rock, said he
would give the matter his attention

Townsend said. "but almost always our

Almost from the time Negroes were
granted their freedom they have served
as Share-croppers on Southern farms.
They are advanced money with which

accounts with the plantation owners
who usually sell groceries to the Ne
groes. Frequent disagreements occur
when the time for settlement arrives.
sometimes over the amount of interest
charged on loans, often over the di-
