The idea had flashed on him when
he saw a steam roadroller. After study
he decided steam was not the best
power for light vehicles, and designed
a gasoline-engine to do the work.

CHAPTER 10

Two days after the Mayor had
issued his ultimatum to the chief of
detective concerning Clark and
Verda, Clark received a telephone
call from Inky Sanborn. He was
at his desk in the office he had
opened by Jazz Hollow, busily
supervising the work of five as
sistants he had hired to help in the
routine affairs of prediction ac-
tivities.
"Wasn't going to bother you un-
til after election, Griffith" Inky's
hard, metallic voice said, "but I've
got something you ought to know.
1 don't want to come up there, so
you had better see me over here. /
am at the pool hall where you left
the money for me. Come on over,
now"
80. K" Clark replied. "Hope it's
important, though. I'm very busy"
"You judge that, pal. It's about
your buddy, Jim Scott"
Coming" Clark snapped, and
reached for his hat.
He had sold the car in which
Scott had been killed and now drove
bullet proof powerhouse that had
been placed at his disposal by the
August Tweed.
It took him just three minutes to
get to the pool hall. AS he entered,
he saw squad car silently glide to
a stop behind his. guess Cullen
thinks the Old Man means business,
he grimly thought.
Inside the place, comfortably
filled with habitues and heavy with
smoke and the idle, careless chatter
of Negroes at play, Clark looked
about for Sanborn. He caught the
eye of the bartender, polishing
glasses industriously at his post be-
hind the bar. The barkeep beckoned
with his head.
"a beer" Clark said as he placed
his foot on the rail.
"First door to the left at the bar,
and upstairs. Third door on the
right" was the softly spoken in
structions of the none too tidy
maestro of the taps as he showed
the beer at Clark.
Meaning what?" Clark asked.
Meaning / know damn well

oval face was like an ebony cameo,
and the smile she gave Clark as he
entered the room displayed a set
of even teeth to which a dentist
was a rank stranger. Her feet must
have been shod in custom built
shoes, because no store could have
carried anything that small.
The contrast between this small,
beautiful black woman, and the
huge gargoyle that faced her was
like Beauty and the Beast.
"This is the boss" Sanborn's
voice brought Clark back to earth.
Griffith, this is Honey Darby"
81 am delighted to know you, Mr..
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-11-05

over here, Griffith, to hear what
we've got to tell you. l think it is
something that even your bosses
don't know yet. Dumping off Jim
Scott is part Of it."
"What is it," Clark eagerly
asked.
"Sit down." Sanborn said. Clark
accepted the vacant easy chair and
Inky sat on the bed. go ahead,
Honey. Tell hin just what you
heard. The whole works."
The woman put down the glass
from which she had been drinking.

SYNOPSIS-Clark Griffith, deb
OMAR liaisOn man for powerful pO-
Etical forces, is attempting to win
Verda Trent from Moses Inter
est" CraddOck, ruthless and inau-
entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to go to luncheon the follow
ing day. He has just called Verda
to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, Overhears the telephone con-
versatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to lunch
with Clark, where, during the meal
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
.reopens her shop free from obliga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrying to
Verda with tickets for a prizefght,
is fired on with a machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's office
with a thinly-veiled accusal and n
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of a way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid in
fighting CraddOek, and finds that
his faction is on the eve of bitter
political struggle in which Grad
dock will be the OppOsitiOn's leader
among Negroes.
Clark and Verda decide to be
married at once, so they might be
together during the bitter struggle
that is surely coming.
Clark opens an office adjacent
to the all-important Jazz Hollow
He is called upon there by 9
stranger who offers to deliver the
Hollow to Clark's party on election
day for a certain sum of money
Clark is amazed at the proposal.
Clark places a spy in Jazz HOl'
low to check on Inky SanbOrn. The
spy reports raids by a strang'
gang on some of CraddOck's under
world strOnghOlds. But Jim Scot
is killed while driving Clark's car
After ScOtt's burial, Clark, fear
ing for Verda's safety, wants t.
quit the fight. She dissuades him

groomed hands in her lap, she
leaned forward and regarded Clark
intently.
Before / tell you, Mr.. Griffith,
/ must ask that I shall never in
any manner be connected with
what have to say. Will you so
promise ?"
Clark was deeply impressed with
the note of sincere anxiety in her
voice. 81 PROMISE" he gravely
replied.

sick once, and Inky took care of
me. Have you ever been friend

Griffith" The woman's voice was
a rich, golden contralto.
"And this is my strong arm boy,
Toots Groves"
"Glad to meetcha." Toots shook
Clark's hand and nearly crushed it.
Sanborn saw Clark vince, and
smiled.
"Don't mind Toots. He's just a
kid at heart. A kid hippo"
Toots rOared appropriately al
his masters quip.
Inky suddenly became serious.

for you," was the reply.
Clark smiled. 80. K"
AS he started to leave the bar he
glanced on the fly-specked mirror
and saw the two detectives who
had followed him enter the door.
They were Negroes, and he recog-
nized them as two of the squarest,
toughest men on the force. Can't
have them following me upstairs,
he thought. So he went over to
them to explain that he had an APP
pointment in the place.
GAN right, Griffith" the shorter
of the two replied when Clark had
finished. "But get this, fella. Be
as mysterious as you please, but if
you're not back here in twenty min
utes We'll be right up-with gun
in each hand. This dump is no tea
garden, and we are just yearning
for an excuse to work it over a
little"
Clark promised.
AS he went by the bar, the bar
keeper called him. whats them
cops doing in here ?" he asked with
evident anxiety.
"It's all right. They're with me-"
"Geez, mister, you didn't need to
bring"
81 didn't bring them. They're my
satellites" Clark interrupted.
"Your WHAT"
"Skip it. Just sit tight and
they'll play nice. Don't let me stay
upstairs over twenty minutes,
though"
81 WON'T" was the firm reply.
Clark found the door to which he
had been directed, and knocked. 1t
was opened by Sanborn, who had
his right hand in his pocket that
bulged ominously.
"Oh, come in, Griffith" he said.
Clark entered a room that
startled him with its appointments,
The room was painted a pleasing
shade of tan. The shades were
drawn and the room was lighted
with a soft, indirect glow from
three magnificent floor lamps. A
walnut bed and dresser that must
have cost plenty occupied one side
of the room. A genuine Persian
rug covered the hardwood floor
which was waxed to perfection. On
table in the center of the room
was bottle of Scotch, soda and ice
cubes. There were three coy
chairs, beautifully upholstered
scattered about. Grapes of deer
blue velvet hung at the windows.
But if Clark had been startled al
the room itself, he was even more
so at it's occupants. In one chair
with his right leg thrown careless
ly over an arm, sat a huge mulatt'
whose powerful frame, completed!
filling hand-me-down suit of mid
night blue, bespoke tremendoui
strength. He held a twelve ounce
glass of Scotch and soda in hi
large hand, and it looked as if h
was holding a glass thimble. Hi
whole aspect gave the appearance
of some mighty machine at rest
The sides of his face harbored tw'
well caulifowered ears, and his red
dish brown hair was closely clipped
His eyes held the simple expression
of a child, which is frequentl!
found in persons of unusua
strength. The man weighed tive
hundred and fifty pounds if HI
weighed an ounce and there WASH
enough fat on him to fry a hum
ming birds egg.
In a chair opposite him sat the
most beautiful black woman Clarl
had ever seen. She was small anC
petite, and perfectly proportioned
She was clothed in a dress of some
clinging brick red material that
showed every one of her tempting
curves. Her hair was done in ring
let's, and the job had been per
formed by somebody that knew
what to do with hair. Her small

The cricket situation is most
acute in the Silesia, Edgar and
F'romberg territories. Dusting

The grasshopper bait is being

ed to bring their own sacks. Grass.
hoppers have been reported as
very plentiful many sections Of
the county, although the infesta-

would benefit themselves readily
by constructing hopper bait
spreaders which would facilitate
the spreading of poison and which
would do a more even job than if
spread by hand. Plans for these
spreaders may be secured at the
extension office.
Poison bran bait should be
spread very thin so that it would
only fall in very small flakes in
a place. If spread in this way
there is absolutely no danger of
poisoning livestock even though
pastured at the same time. The
danger of poisoning lies in impro-
per spreading.
