Ny husband and have for
some time had his best friend a
our companion when we went

liked me a lot. Both my husband

One day he evidently mistook

CHAPTER VII
Patrolman Dan Fiynn,s feet
hurt.
II was bad enough. he told him
self, to stand half the night In the
rain. but to have a murder piled
on him. to have the captain sore
at him, and to have to find a
will-o'-wisp taxi driver at a. m.
was asking too much of his even
Irish temper.
How the devil did Dawson ex-
pect him to locate one taxi driver
Nick Smith--in a city full of
taxi drivers? The taxi company
had been a great help-yeahi
Smith reported in tonight the
office clerk told Flynn. Hes on
cruising service. reports in if bust
ness Is slow, but goes on his own
IL business Is good" That helped
a lot, yeah They'd be glad to
have Smith come in II he called,
but Flynn knew that Smith would
stay out just as long as he could.
Probably halfway to Florida by
now. with the cab parked on
deserted road.
Smith wouldn't show up at home
either-too smart for that. Smith
was just too. too smart. Dawson
was too smart. Benthorne was too
smart. Everyone was too smart
everyone but Dan Flynn. And he
was just a dumb cop. And his
feet hurt.
Well, there was no use pacing
up and down the sidewalk in the
rain in front of a deserted taxi
stand. There was a chance that
Smith might, from force of habit.
return to his usual haunts. But it
was small chance, Flynn knew.
A cab hurried by. Flynn whistled,
but the cab sped on. Another taxi,
hurrying down the opposite side
of the street, whirled around and
the door swung open before Flynn.
Just drive" he ordered, and
slumping in the seat, kicked off
his shoes. wiggled his toes in damp
socks and promptly went to sleep.
He awakened half an hour later.
The cab was stopped, even the
meter was silent. Flynn looked
around, saw he was parked in
front of an all-night lunch stand.
Driver evidently decided he needed
a cup of coffee. Coffee might go
well. Flynn thought. And ham and
eggs and maybe some pie. He
bent over. fumbling in the dark
ness for his shoes.
A car paused beside the cab,
then pulled in front to park. Flynn
grunted as he tied the laces, raised
his head just in time to see an
other driver climbing out of the
taxi parked directly ahead. He
held his breath as the man paused
at the door of the lunch stand.
What was that Dawson had said
about luck? The taxi driver go
ing through the door was-Nick
Smith
A moment later Flynn's service
revolver was in his raincoat
pocket, and Flynn was pushing into
the lunch stand.
Hello. Nick" he said softly.
The driver whirled on the stool, I
stared at Flynn, then turned back I
to his coffee. Flynns own driver
got up quickly.
Just stopped for a cup of java"
he explained. You were having
good sleep and I hated to dis
turb you. All US drivers usually |
stop here and gossip and eat"
Glad you did," Flynn answered.
I've been looking for this guy"

lnfanti|e Paralysis
Weapon Visioned in
FemaIe Sex Hormone

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLE

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-About so
per cent immunization of monkeys
to infantile paralysis by use of the
female sex hormone, estrin, was re-
ported to the Third International
Congress for Microbiology today.
The effects of the hormone were
the same for both males and fe-
males, showing that sex itself had
nothing to do with the protection.
Human males of all ages normally
possess small amounts of the female
hormone.
DR.. w. Lloyd Aycock of Boston
said that pregnant women have been
reported a little more susceptible to
infantile paralysis than would be
expected.
This led to suspicion that sex hor-
mones, disturbed by pregnancy. were
the explanation. 1t was found that
deficiency in the female sex hor-

none caused mucous membranes to
become thin.
Because infantile paralysis enters
both men and monkeys through the
nose, the animals were tested with
the hormone. Apparently it caused
thickening of the nasal membranes
and so afforded some protection
against catching the disease.
