reau. It was Enthusiastically Birdie
Nevers under Jigger's fountain
pen fiashlight.
Jigger ransacked the bureau
drawers. The drawers were main
ly a chaos of wornout shirts, ties,
pants, accessories. An abutting
closet, doorless, with a velour
drape screening it, produced an
almost new Gladstone bag. 1t had
weight and was securely locked.
Poised for flight Jigger played
his searchlight in final summary
inventory. There was nothing
else.
A voice in a falsetto pitch
squalled through the paper-thin
wall. Jigger refined to a halt,
listening. 1t was a woman, prob
ably BRIDES woman, in the front
part of the house.
TIGGER crossed the narrow hall,

the loose squeaky floor plankS. He

"Who are you to be breaking

BRIDES woman was big and
f1eshy with lidless eyes. Her face
was a montage of puffs, her chin
a wart punctuating cheeks and

Jigger spoke with sly JUNCTION:
81 was a dear friend of Brides.
I've always wanted to meet you"
BRIDES woman heaved into an
immense tenderness. Her hand
numbered toward Jigger, scaling
his shoulder. She clamped him
into the room, her immensely
ripping all over him.

and stopped. Her eyes wavered
across the room into a spotted

ranny even four grand was no
compensation for. Jigger perched
one foot on the rung of a straight
chair, profoundly silent. So.
Someone yelled from the bed
room, who you talking to-.
Blossom?"
The lidless eyes were white.
Mind your own business I'm
talking to a friend of Birdie who
wash a better man n you"
The man in the bedroom yelled,
enunciating clearly, each word an
exclamation point, THAT cheap
punk, Birdie. He was born bum.
He lived bum. He died a bum"
BRIDES woman became lively.
'He wash a better man n you"
The exclamation points darted
horizontally: Birdie was cheap
punk. You could buy him for a
nickel. Even nickel was over

and bridled, Birdie would be

The man in the bedroom
screamed at BRIDES woman. His
voice hammered the room and the
Ell roared by again -
A small pause, then: "Who did

There was commotion ~ by

Jigger said with a wink that

"You wait out here and watch

The downstairs door was dou-

put his shoulder to it until the
blood bulged his cheeks, but the
door wouldn't bulge.
The fire escape grated rust I'M

were happily desolate of panes.
Jigger swung a leg inside and
battered softly to the floor of the

There were two doors. Jigger
cupped his hand cautiously on
the knob of one, turning it gin

This warning comes from Mark Shoe
maker, Landscape Specialist at the
University OF Maryland.
He points out that certain SPRING
blossomng shrubs, such as Forsy-
theas, Spireas, FIowering Ounce and
Lilacs should be pruned very little
during the spring because they bear
blossoms on wood produced the year
before. Pruning now would destroy
flower buds and should be limited to
removing dead wood and possibly a
few old canes which should be cut off
at ground level
In contrast to these recommended
tons, Mr.. Shoemaker suggests that
spring pruning will serve to improve
many shrubs which blossom in the
summer or fall such as Hydrangea,
Butterfly Bush, and Althea. These
blossom ON new wood grown this
spring and pruning will cause the
growth Of more blossom-be wood.
Butterfly Bush. for instance, should
be cut off close to the ground each
