Snooper Never Minded
Being Thrown Out
The last time Dr. Morris spied in
those mountains he was on the pay
roll of Jimmy McLarnin, who en-
ployed him to lurk around Barney
Ross camp and find out what he
could about Ross. TIE first 16 times
he tried to enter Ross camp the
doctors disguise was penetrated,
and they threw him out. Nothing
daunted, DR.. Morris hired a sub
sldlary agent to plant a dictaphone
In Ross dining room.
Later the dictaphone record was
retrieved, and the doctor took it to
McLarnin's camp, where everybody
gathered around to hear the secrets
that the gullible Ross had betrayed.
Boys" said Ross voice on the
record, Il wonder what's become of
Doc Morris
The last time we seen him." said
another voice, 'he was smuggling a
dlctaphone record into this Joint.
Its probably somewhere around here
now"
Well" said Ross, I'm glad to
near the doc is working. Next time
you see him give him by regards"
MeLornin Wouldn't Poy
Doc for Record
Much to DR.. Morris chagrin Nc
Larnin refuse to pay for this in
formation in spite of it's sentimental
value. In fact. McLarnin was
sulky enough to imply that the doc
tor could not spy on himself in
telephone booth. These words came
back to haunt Jimmy when he lost
the fght-undoubtedly because he
refused to make use of the data
obtained at great risk by DR.. Morris.
The doctor now is engaged by Mr..
Jenkins to learn the secrets of Hem
ry Armstrong, which are said to be
extremely interesting. DR.. Morris is
Tree, under contract, to syndicate
these secrets when he learns them.
II there is anything of interest to
the government of Bolivia, for in
stance, he can communicate with the
Bolivian secret service on his own
time, just so Mr.. Jenkins gets the
information first.
DR.. Morris assumes a mask every
day after lunch and swoops down
upon the Armstrong camp in Pomp-
ton Lakes, N. j., arriving in time
Tor Armstrong; workout. There he
takes a special seat by the ringside
reserved for him by the Armstrong
reception Committee and iots down
secrets as fast as he discovers them.
Carbon Poper Supplied
Doctor for Copies
For the doctors further conven-
ience Mr.. Armstrong has supplied
carbon paper, so that the doc may
make as many copies as he wishes.
AS DR.. Morris leaves camp with
his notes concealed in the sole of
MS shoe Che is prepared to swallow
them, shoe and all, rather than
surrender them, man at the gate
Is detailed to make sure that everv-
thing has been satisfactory.
Kind of hot today, DR.. Morris"
this operative will say. Don't YOU
want to take off your mask and be
comfortable"
No speak English" the doctor
replies, chuckling to himself. for he
alone knows that his mask is
light tropical worsted, made for
summer wear, and twice as cool as it
is outdoors.
Back at headquarters he decides
his notes and spreads them out on
the table, where Mr. Jenkins studies
them.
80" says Jenkins, this Arm
strong is colored man. eh?"
you bet he is. chief" saws the
doctor. Don't let 'em fool you,"
There practically is nothing about
Armstrong which Jenkins does not
know by now, and if he loses the
fight next week it will not be the
fault of DR.. William Morris. Incl
dentally, the doctor formerly was
known in the service as X-9, but
the number has been changed to
I, Stuyvesant $500.
