Brick Learns
Truth From Jean

With Leggett behind the bars,
Gerard and Collins became Amer
ica's top Public Enemies. But they
had disappeared. Every lead was
followed and run down. Useless.
They've got a good hide-out,
wherever it is" Brick said.
"I'll say" was the sardonic re.
joinder from Jeff. An agent hur.
ried in with news that Brad Col.
Inns wife had been apprehended
and was outside in the anteroom.
Bring her in here" jeff
motioned.
Through the doorway came
Jean Morgan, the dancer who
had loved Brick. Her jaunty, de-
fiant air turned to shame as she
saw Brick. He was stunned.
Jean hid her recognition Of
Brick. Her eyes dropped.
Where's CollinS?" jeff asked
tersely.
IT don't know. He's just .
friend. I dropped in to see him"
Going to keep stalling, eh?"
you're so bright"
Brick standing behind Jean,
waved at Jeff to come outside.
II can make her talk" Brick
said quietly. II know her"
Jeff looked thoughtfully for Q
moment and called to the other
agents.
Come on out, guys"
Brick entered slowly and closed
the door. Jean tried to mask her
feelings by adopting the same
light attitude. But it was hard.
where is he?" Brick was
tender.
II don't know" There was .
hurt look in her eyes. She loved
this man now her enemy, and al
ways would.
when did you marry Collins,
Jean?"
"A couple of months after the
club closed down."
Did you tell McKay?"
Hes the one person I hoped
wouldn't know about it," Her
voice became bitter. He'll prob
ably learn it from Brad, though"
Brick suddenly leaned forward.
Hell probably learn-1s Col.
Inns with McKay?"
Jean was terrified.
"No!I"
Her fright made Brick realize
it was the truth.
Hes hiding out ct McKAy'S
lodge. I know"
"He isn't. He isn't. Oh, Brick.
you can't" Jean Shrieked.
Brick strobe out Of the office.
"McCord, Collins is hiding out
at a place Mckay owns in Pine.

are probably with him."

ency at this mans hands-im-
possible.
"McCord, you're the last guy
in the world I'd beg anything
from unless it meant a lot to
me and this service does. I was
a gutter rat until Mckay found
me and gave me a chance to go
straight. I came into the service
to get the man who killed Blu
chanan. McCord, don't kick me
out"
jeff looked at the card in
front of him, detailing Bricks
movements. Slowly he tore it up
and threw 1t into wastebasket.
Thanks"
Thanks nothing" jeff was
trying to cover up the fact that
he had helped someone he wasn't
sure he disliked any more. lone

pert for the fingerprintS Of a
New York gangster who had been
in the Mckay mob. Brick re-
membered Danny Leggett!
jeff grew even more sarcastic.
"All you have to do is hear
about a gardenia and you know
the murderer" he snapped his
finger-"just like that. What a
detective!"
The fingerprint expert who had
been making comparisons spoke
quietly.
man."
Brick laughed at Jeff's stunned
disbelief.
Better run along and tell Greg
DRY, Mr.. McCord."
Jeff glared resentfully.
"Wait a minute, Davis. How do
you know so much about this Leg
gett?"
Bricks grin faded. A moments
hesitation, and he faltered out:
II used to live on the East Side
where he hung around. He al
ways wears a gardenia. A super
stition."
jeff said nothing. Swiftly he
strobe past Brick toward the door.
The ballistics expert stopped jeff
and told him the rifle bullet
which had killed the two bank
guards matched the bullet which
had killed Buchanan.
THAT means Leggett, all right"
Bricks face was grim. "McCord.
I know how to find him. Let me
go to New York"
Forget 1t! You haven't even
finished your course"
Brick flared up.
"Quit stalling! You're not going
to give me the chance because
you've had it in for me ever since
I've been here. I'll ask Gregory
myself"
But Gregory turned Bricks re-
quest down and instead assigned
Farrell. Sadly, Brick left his
chiefs office.
buchanan was a friend OF
mine, Farrell" said Brick.
It'll remember that"
"You might watch the flower
shops. Leggett buys a gardenis
every morning, and he carries q
gun in his derby hat"
"Ill rem Der that, too.
Thanks"
Both men shook hands. Farrell
left.

Brick Meets
Jeff's Sister

HOW sorry Brick was that he
had been the cause Of such a beau
tiful brunette's discontinue. He
had pushed the door Of McCord's
waiting room outward. The girl
on the other side had been bend
ing down to pick up the purse she
had dropped. The momentum OF
the doors motion being rather
sudden, she was hurtled to the
floor.
Brick stared at her, sitting on
the floor.
I'm sorry
''You should be-" was the hot
reply. She rose and marched
past him to sit down. He followed
her and seated himself opposite
her and critically examined her
face despite her obvious discom"
fort.
"You should guard against high
blood pressure"
Bricks casual remark startled
her out Of her aloofness.
yeah, that's what it says in
this book" He pointed to the
page Of the open book resting on
his knee. Unfortunately, as Brick
lifted the book as if to peer into
it more closely, the title-Rif1es
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS visible.
The girl snapped out with re-
pressed anger:
And what does it say about
rifles and ammunition"
Brick grinned. Most effective

Brick suddenly saw her face
light up with Joy as she jumped
to her feet. jeff McCord had just
walked in.
"JeffI"
"Kay!"
So engrossed were they in each

Brick.

Where's Hugh?"

said as Farrell came through the

A Report

Brick had just returned to the
Department of Justice Building.
A telegram from a mysterious Jo-
seph Lynch had turned out to be
from Mckay, who was passing
through Washington on his way
West. Brick had gone down to
McKay's train drawing room to
see him, and learned that he had
bought a summer place in Wiscon-
sin. Mckay had invited Brick up
during his vacation.
Brick didn't notice, however, the
man who trailed him-and had
been trailing him for q week.
Brick entered McCord'S office.

Cord.

to some questions. Why did you
falsify your personal history on
your entrance papers" McCord
raSped out.
There isn't a false statement
in those papers," shouted Brick.
"All except that the head Of
one Of New York's biggest boot
leg outfits paid your way through
law school," McCord Numbered.
"A very smart way for a mob to
get a stool-pigeon into the depart
ment."
Brick barely controlled his
clenched fists.
That's lie."

That's it,"
Brick turned to the range,
aimed and fired rapidly, each shot
thudding into the dummy's heart.
Jeff'S eyes narrowed with suspic'
ion.
"Where'd you learn to shoot?"
Brick smiled sweetly. II used

Kay Forgets
Her Anger

Fearful for her brothers
safety, Kay McCord hurried down
to his office the next morning
after reading in the newspaper
that jeff had defied the under.
world and declared he would take
Leggett to prison without an
escort.
Kay couldn't convince him of
the folly of his decision-and
even her tears were Of no avail
She hurried from her brothers
office, head lowered, as Brick
came up the hall from the oppo-
site direction. He stopped her,
and in her need for sympathy
Kay forgot she disliked him.
whats wrong?" Brick asked.
cts jeff" Kay Sobbed. "He
can't go through with it-he1l be
killed"
Without either of them realiz-
ing it, she fell into Bricks arms.
II wouldn't say that" he
soothed. A blissful smile shone
on Ills lace as nay continued TO
cry against his shoulder.
Hes going to take Leggett
alone to prison." Her voice was
full Of heartrending desperation,
as she tried to stifle her sobS.
"And he's been warned not to-.
Please-please don't let him do
it."
Brick was in an ecstatic daze.
At last! Oh, how he loved her!
Jaw, don't worry. Forget it. He'll
do it okay."
Kay looked up at him abruptly.
Brick realized it had been the
wrong thing to say. Suddenly
she saw she was in his arms and
broke away from him. Brick
looked after her, a dreamy grin
on his face.

Into Action

Leggett was happy gentleman
that evening. He looked at him
self in the expensive mirror of
his apartment. He admired the
lovely gardenia in his lapel. He
was quite satisfied, with himself
and with the world.
A last glance at himself and
he was ready to leave the apart
ment for a date in the upper
reaches of Chicago. He never
kept that appointment.
Silently, Brick appeared at the
open window Of Leggett's apart
ment. He watched him go to
the door, open it and slam it shut
as he saw McCord and another
agent, guns drawn, about to
knock. The guns outside roared,
bullets ripping through the door
panels.
Leggett returned shot for shot.
Slowly he backed towards the
window. Just as he whirled,
Brick lunged through the air and
using a jiu-jitsu trick he had
learned, sent the gangster crash
ing to the wall.
Brick threw himself on Leg
gett, hitting him with three ter
rifle, vicious short-arm punches.
