G-WOMAN GILES
STRIKES AGAIN

Ol NI1AGO AOIAxAN
Since G-Woman Giles has had so
many duties around the school, she
decided she needed an assistant. For
that honorable position she chose
the reformed criminal, Tubby Wall.
Together they would make short
work of any criminals at large.
While Tubby was receiving congrat-
ulations on her appointment, a call
came from headquarters to capture
Public Enemy No. l, Gregory Potts
(the Slug) wanted for unceasing
accompanied by such
weird sounds as can escape from
such parsonage. Gregg was usual
ly accompanied by hammer, which
wasn't such good idea either, be-
cause one never knows what might
happen if, while in the process of
Gregg should be using
the hammer and couldn't see what
he was supposed to hit. Serious diff
ficulties might arise, and we SYM
pathize with the person on the 9TH
er end of the hammer. 49,. .i=
But before the two sleuths could
even start after the criminal, they
had to have a description of him
and this is what they got.
Very tall and medium build, black
curly hair, brown eyes, height four
feet Is inches, weight 2560 OF. Size
of hat 71a. Gregg could be recognize
ed easily by that staggering walk
of his. If you couldn't see him COM
ing, you were sure to hear him-or
something.
Although Lorraine and Tubby had
only, one clue on which to work,
they were in very high spirits. Who
be with long life ahead
of them and the world yet to con-
quer. The clue that the crack de-
tective and her assistant had to
work on was q place on the wall
where about six square feet of plas-
ter had been knocked off, evident
ly by a hammer. She was positive
that Gregg the Slug was respons-
ible, because no one else could think
of such original things to do. The
culprit, whoever he was, had stomp
ed around in the plaster that had
fallen, leaving white tracks. Lor-
raine thought it wouldn't be hard
to find the Slug, so she sent Tubby
after him. But the tracks led right
down to the edge of the river. Tub
by got discouraged and went back
to Lorraine, feeling very forlorn
and downcast because she had been
baffled at her first attempt at de-
tective work.
But nothing could stop Lorraine.
She hoped on the first train to Alb
erdeen to question Gregg's brother,
Ambrose, the Twerp. But as Am
brose spent most of his time Sleep
ing he said he didn't know a thing
about the Slug and what's more. he

raine even If he did know.
But as we said before, Lorraine
has a determined way about her,
and is not easily discouraged. She
came back to Kennewick as fast as
she could, because the Slug's tracks
would get cold If she waited too
long. When she got off the train
she was greeted by ''Lassie" Henke,
who was all atwitter because she
had seen the desperate Slug. In fact
she had been talking with him not
long before. They had gotten in an
and each one had tried
talking louder than the other until
Irene finally won.
Lassie Henke had left him sitting
in detention class. looking very de-
Jected, thinking how he must be
to let q woman get in the
last word with him.
Lorraine was considerably cheer
ed up by the news that Irene had
given her and started for the school
house. But what good would that do
her. Mr.. Clark wouldn't let her
call Gregg out of detention class, so
she patiently waited outside the
door. From time to time, sigh Of
eagerness escaped from the anxious
damsel. But it was worth the time.
At last, Jailer Clark, dismissed the
class and Gregg came sauntering
out of the assembly. He saw Lor-
raine waiting for him and was
thrilled to the marrow. He did not
have the slightest idea what was up.
