 .But how did you know?"
 "I called up the office one morning to tell you l had to go somewhere suddenly and would be Q little late with dinner. And they told me you didn't work there any more. You can imagine how felt"
 , "Gosh, sure can," John laughed out loud at her woeful expression, whi3e she looked more perplexed than ever. She was bordering on anger by this time.
 "But what's the joker" she in- sisted.
 "The joke is got my job back with a ten dollar raise! The boss called for me, ushered me into his private office and spent an hour telling me what a swell guy l was and how indebted the firm was to me.

to it. We won't give away how we found out"
 John hadn't thought of that an- gle of 1t at all, and was suddenly more frightened than he had been when he overheard the bar conver- sation. But he was too elated over being asked to come down to the brewery to worry for long, and he went home in better spirits than he had been in for 8 week. His wife regarded him curiously but contained her desire to ask questions about his sudden good spirits.
 As Hanson left the house the next morning he bought paper on the corner and opened 1t with trembling hands. He nearly shout ed when he saw the front page. There 1t was. right at the top of a column:
 BREWERY BOMBING
 BOILED BY POLICE;
 4 GANGSTERS JAILED Squad Sclzcs Pineapple, Nabs

 Beneath was the whole story, all most exactly as he had construct ed 1t in his mind as he had lain awake most of the night.
 At II o'clock Hanson rushed up

Sea Foam Brewery was on! He hardly dared breathe.
 "It's timed for 10 o'clock" the voice continued. "If 1t works right it'll put them out of commission for a couple of weeks at least-- and teach them lesson besides"
 John took a gulp of beer. If that didn't sound like a bombing he hadn't learned much in 34 years! Tn an instant he constructed the whole thing fin his mind. A hood lum outfit was taking care of the competition-with hoodlum meth-

 HE FUMBLED CHANGE
 IN HIS POCKET
 He fumbled change in his pocket loudly, and in a moment the bar tedner reappeared. John tossed over the price of the beer as non- chalantly as he could and strolled slowly out.
 A few steps from the bar lie stopped short and tried to think. He wasn't sure, but 1t was a good bet. Slowly, he planned a course of action. He boarded a street car for the police station nearest the brewery. He never was so excited in his life, and the car couldn't travel fast enough for him. After what seemed an age he arrived at the station and rushed inside. He was scared, he admitted to himself, all the more because he wasn't fa- miliar with police stations. But resolutely he demanded to see the captain.
 About what?" bored looking desk sergeant wanted to know.
 It's about bombing" replied Hanson excitedly. II think over- heard one being planned"
 The sergeant didn't look im- pressed but he nevertheless took Hanson in to see the captain after a short wait. Briefly John out lined the story. The captain want ed to know who he was, and then he made him tell the whole thing all over again, while he took notes
 Sounds like Jim Pacetli's place you happened into," he remarked finally. He had the operator call the brewery for him. and he spoke to the boss. Hanson heard his name mentioned. Finally the cap- tain turned to him and hung up.
 Well, we'll look into it." he said. And by the way, they want you to come around in the morn- ing. Thanks for the tip. And you needn't worry. If there's anything
