G-WOMAN TO
HOWL AGAIN

L
weeks that needed the attention of
our noted and honorable G-Woman
! Giles. But who could be bothered
with such things while the mighty
and magnificent Rose of the DAN
ube" was being prepared for pro-
duction? Lorraine, being one of the
stately walters, could not take time
out to tend to the everyday hap
penings of the underworld. But at
last, after the successful presenta-
ton of the operetta, she was free to
follow her callings, and the first
thing that demanded her attention
was the kidnapping of little Jimmy
Giard, 17-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. w. Giard. Little Jimmy
had been snatched into a speeding
Model-T Ford at the corner of
Washington st. and Kennewick
avenue on midnight of Friday. But
who could be the culprit?
The first thing that Lorraine did
was to name over everyone who
owns Model-T Ford cars. That
would be "Fatso" Holden, "Shoe
Buster" Graves, and Big Fritz" Oil
yer. But as none of these boys were
enemies of Laddy Giard they were
just lightly questioned. Holden was
eliminated first because of his not
attending Kennewick high school
any longer. Graves and Oliver had
as their alibis that they had their
girl friends out riding in their au-
tomobiles at the time the crime was
committed.
The next thing to do was to ques-
ton other suspects. But who was
there to be questioned? Well, there
was Mary Thresher, fourth suspect.
The only reason that the G-Woman
could figure out why Miss Thresher
would want to get young James out
of the way was that perhaps Mary
wanted to have the very honored
position of Valedictorian of the
Glass Of SO. and Jimmy was the only
obstacle in her road. Lorraine listed
all the other possible suspects. There
was Lowell Higley and Bob Skuse.
Reasons probably known only to
debaters as G-Woman can't tell
what is going on inside Of their
heads These two boys were on the
opposite side Of the debating team
of James.
But Lorraine pondered and thot,
and thot and pondered, and finally
decided that these two boys did not
have reasons enough for Switching
the Giard lad because they were the
negative team, and usually won
their arguments so they would have
no hard feelings against the affirm
alive side; but still it was Lorraine's
duty to question the two suspects.
But Higley and Skuse had their
alibis for that eventful night. and
got our detective so interested In
the question Of State Medicine that
they talked and talked, talking be-
ing these two boys natural trait,
and finally convinced her that they
were right. Finally Lorraine walked
off, still wondering If they really
were on the question Of State Med
icine.
And still Lorraine hunted up more
suspects. Perhaps the teachers
should be questioned because may
be they wanted to get rid Of Jimmy
so that they could give other pupils
some AS once in q while.
Now that Lorraine had the sus-
poets all together, she questioned
them some more. But they all had
their alibis, and so the G-Woman
was baffled. But just when she was
ready to give up, here came James
into the room.
Where have you been?" asked
everyone. Poor James could hardly
talk, but he finally mumbled, "Some
one with black hair, mustache and
beard, and dressed all in black,
driving a Model-T Ford, picked me
up last Friday at midnight"
Who was it?" queried Lorraine.
II don't know" Jimmy replied.
But whoever it was, made me play
