His mouse Kitty gets his nose in a book

light lunch, when his head is churning with
garbage disposal rules, Turkish bath regula-

code and the fire laws. Before the afternoon is

thing you can't buy in drugstores without

won't let up. She revives him with slrloin

like to give the public its moneys worth. It's

porters want a statement from Dan. His
throat is dry, but he finally gets one out. He
says he'll put up clean, hard fight; he hopes
to give the fans their moneys worth, and
may the best man win.
They start out together down the hall,
Fitzgillgan lights cigar and throws the paper
band away. Right away Dan pulls out
notebook. ITS a misdemeanor," he recites
in throaty voice, Ito throw waste paper,

Out in the street again Fitz twirs his cane
in a way that endangers the safety of passers-
by, and Dan doesn't notice. That ties the
score. They go into one of the big movie
houses, and Dan pins one on Fitz for light
ing match to look for the glove he drops.
But Fitz is no slouch. He sneaks in fast one
by sticking wad of chewing gum under the
seat
Fitz is having the time of his life. When
they're back in circulation he struts along
wagging his head Dan umbers along beside
him. CLASSY look in his eye. The mental
strain is too much It's an even money bet

criticism of the police, published in local
newspaper, was answered by a plalnClothes-
man named McGarry, obviously according
to MIR. Fitzgilligan) a spokesman for the de-
partment This McGarry seems to think the
police are really knowing wise, capable, Per-
haps McGarry is right. If he is, Mr.. Fitzglli-
gan stands ready to donate ten thousand
dollars to the Police Pension Fund.
The test he proposes is simple enough. He
offers to spend eight hours of any named day
in the company of Officer McGarry In the
course of these eight hours Mi Fitzgilllgan
will commit, openly and in the presence of
Officer McGarry, number of mlsdemeanors.
If, at the end of the day, Officer McGarry can
recognize and charge Mr.. Fitzgligan with
more than fifty per cent of the offenses COM
mitted, the check for the Pension Fund will
be handed over Should Officer McGarry
funk out, then it will be considered proven
that the police know very little about the
laws and ordinances they are paid to enforce,
and are incapable and inefficient and just one
more headache for the taxpayers.
Dan has Just finished reading it when the
walks into the Office, not so happily this time,
and sees the Inspector with the paper spread
out before him again.
''DID call it, or didn't I?' says the In
spector 1--WE are in spot.
Il think it best" says Dan with dignity.

a copper like me for whole day to walk
around town with millionaire screwball."

Pension Fund | can spare you" He gives
Dan hard eye The Fund isn't in such good
shape, and some of us are due for retirement
this year
Dan is not feeling comfortable. MAYBE
I'd better brush up on my penal laws, he
says.
That's not the half of it," says the In
spector. "Fitzgilligan is an old time mouth
piece, and plenty smart. He won't try the
obvious Do you know all the fire laws and
the sanitary code, and the rules and regula-
tions of the Board of Health?"
maybe there's few l forgot says Dan
sadly.

around to writing them off. You can't blow

Dan feels bit greenish now. Lots of times
he talks himself into trouble, but this is the
first time he ever urote himself into mess.

an intersection if someone is in the middle
of the street. In this city they've got you
coming and going And Dan has to learn
everything because this Elwood Fitzgillgan
is liable to do things like walking around
with a herring sticking out of his hip pocket
and win on teChnicatles
Furthermore, this crank Fitzgillgan won't
let it be a private fight. He's also publicity
hound, and every day he sends for reporters
and gives out a statement. The papers smell
good story and slap it on page one every
day. There're headlines: Cops Mental Giant
to Grabple With Traducer; The Brain Picks
Up Gauntlet for Police. Dams picture is there
beside Mr.. Fitzglligan's, and just from the
looks of the two of them, Dan is the long shot.
Fitz is little guy with white hair, thin face
that's mostly forehead, pair of sharp,
smart looking eyes, and a little white Van
dyke beard. And Dan - we'll, Dan looks like
DAN.
At the end of the fifth day, the Inspector
drops in With him is one of the brainiest city
magistrates. They sit Dan down in front
of them and for two hours he sweats it out
while they give him his oral. At the end of it
they put their heads together and compare
notes, while Dan gulps down a couple of
glasses of water and mops his forehead.
The way figure it, the Inspector says
sadly, ''his mark is thirty"
And fifty-one is passing" sighs the magis-
trate.
Ten grandr' says the Inspector. Ten
grand, and out of the whole department it
had to be McGarry!'
HE night before the big day. Dan sleeps
about three hours. When Kitty drives him to
Fitzgilligan's hotel, he looks as though he
might collapse before he starts. His eyes are
red, his hands shaking All the traffic cops
they pass wave and wish Dan luck and call
him The Brain; but he just stares at them in
dazed sort of way. At the hotel Kitty kisses
him and helps him out of the car. She sets
course for him and gives him little push,
and he walks like zombie across the lobby
and into an elevator.
In the suite upstairs Fitzgilligan is waiting
with dozen reporters. The old crank is
maybe sxty-hve, but he's snappy dresser,
with spats and cane and pearl-gray hat, and
he's alert and full of pep. He dances round
like bantamweight waiting for the bell, and
can hardly stand still long enough to have his
picture taken shaking hands with Dan.
Then he makes a statement for the Press,
saying he expects to win but really wishes
he would lose, because that would prove cops
have more brains than none at all, fact
which he doubts very much Then the re-
