CHAPTER I

Outside, the sidewalks were damp
and slippery. It was late February.
The sky was blurred with an ap-
preaching storm. McCale walked
up Stuart street slowly, stopping to
buy an early morning paper at the
corner.
He'd just had some mid-morning
coffee with a couple of erstwhile
private "eyes'' and they'd told him
In great detail Of how Miss AIDE
laide Bigelow, Of the Bigelows, had
been traipsing from Office to office
for the fright" detective. Just what
she needed a detective for, they
didn't know, but it looked promising.
To McCale 1t looked like hokum;
besides, he wasn't interested. He
did not, at the moment, realize that
the first pebble had started to roll,
that even then he was being gently
prodded into the relentless ava
lanche Of big case. He stopped
for cigarettes at a drug store and
stood at the counter idly turning
the pages of the newspaper.
B-29s were at home over the Jap
mainland, and the American fleet
was tickling Jap shipping where it
hurt. There was a complete black
out planned for the coming week.
end. On page ten, Mrs. Atkinson
Keye, socialite, was off to Reno
again. Business as usual. A Mrs.
Mulligan Of Roxbury had given
birth to her twelfth child. And, wait
. minute, under a misty photograph
of a very debby deb, the caption:
Lydia Prentice of Marlborough
street and Magnolia, one of the
brides attendants at the wedding
next Saturday of Veronica Perkins
Bigelow to Curtin Vallaincourt."
So that's all 1t was. A society
wedding. He laughed soundlessly
as he thought of Leach and Gar
rity making a big story over some
old blue-blood who was, no doubt,
looking for couple Of dicks pre-
sentable enough to mingle with
crowd Of gilt-edged guests, while
they kept sharp eye on the we'd
ding presents. He did not have to
be much of a sleuth to figure that
one out. He chuckled at the mental
picture of either of his so-called pals
straining to look ito the manner
born in such a situation.

Wealthy Old Lady
Appears Troubled

"Miss Bigelow is waiting in your
Office" said Ann.
"Why in there?" McCale asked,
lowering his voice.
"Well," she answered, flushing
slightly, "it's nice in there. There's
fire in the crate and the big chair
and-books and things"
"Ah, I see. You are duly i'm
pressed by the royal presence"
'Not at ALL" she rather snapped
"She's quite nice. Did it occur to
you I might want to impress herr"
McCale smiled. "Bless you, my
child" he said as he went in.
There was a fire burning briskly
In the fireplace, throwing light and
shadow on the simple decorations
the big chair with its accompany
ing side table, well-filled bookcases
lining the walls. The lamp on the
desk was Lit, for it was darker in
this room.
A little old lady, quietly dressed,
turned in the act Of reaching for a
book, to face him.

miss Bigelow?" His sharp eyes
took her in at a glance.
She was small, almost birdlike,
and nervous in a fiuttery way. She
had a fine, delicately modelled face,
too delicate. perhaps, to be impos.
ing. Yet there was evidence in her
carriage and in her manner of dig
nifty and stubborn strength. Nc
Gale was aware, too, of a certain
uneasiness, lurking apprehension
behind the too bright eyes that he
could not attribute to surprise at
his sudden entrance nor to her be-
ing out of her milieu in detectives

There was something ingenious
about the way he said It. Then he

How McCale Became a
Private Detective

As he folded the paper, his eye
caught word or two in the gossip
column, AFTER Dark" 1t read: cat
the Latin Quarter last night Curt
Vallaincourt, the handsome lad
who is to middle-aisle it with Ver-
onica Bigelow next week, waited in
vain for her to appear. He ended
his vigil by tapping up Zombies with
Shari Lynn, the "torchy" singer
from the floor show. We didn't know
they knew each other"
McCale frowned at the last allu-
sion. Too bad these keyhole lads
had to spice everything up so.
McCale's office and living quar-
tiers combined were on St. James
street, bit far uptown for that
sort of thing. They were in block
Of old brownstone houses, the last
that remained in that vicinity. Here,
while they lasted anyway. McCale
was able to cling to the illusion that
he was cut above the average de-
tective. He admitted that it was
probably psychological-a complex
with him. His background, surely,
was worse than most. Born in the
scummier part Of Chicago, he had
been brought up among thieves and
mobsters. At fourteen, he knew all
the answers. To himself, he often
admitted that he had a criminal
turn of mind, but some peculiar
twist had saved him from putting it
into practice. It may have been
the merest glimmer or craving for
something finer than the obviously
brief splash made by the racketeer,
on top today, shot full of holes to-
morrow. But at sixteen he went
into the world to find out If there
was any good in it. Somehow he
discovered that he had love for
books and a real aptitude for learn
ing. He worked his way through a
Midwestern college. He took sum-
mer courses here, there, and wher-
ever he heard Of something that
might interest him. And he was in
terested in many things.
He woke one morning knowing
that detection would be his career.
Then he took course in criminol-
ogy at a famous university, sat in
at lectures at police college, talked
himself into a job with a rundown
detective agency. After that, he had
set himself up as private investi-
gator. Cynical over police methods
as he found them in practice, sick
to death of the strike-breaking jobs,
the divorce work, the undercover
bribery, the questionable ethics of
many Of the men masquerading as
honest Investigators, 1t was the only
thing for him to do. Only a few
clients had come his way. But it
was worth it.
McCale was small and dark and
smoothly articulated. His hair was
shiny and black; his eyes, inclined
to be withdrawn one minute, would
quicken with a peculiar CLINT the
next. His mouth was too large for
the countenance it graced, and, in
repose, q trifle sardonic. But when
he smiled or laughed, ii lit up his
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1947-01-17

smiled and everything was quite
all right.
1T isn't that at ALL" She was
just as candid. "You're quite nice
looking, really. It's just that all
the detectives I've ever seen-that
is-er-heard about-are rather big
and brutal-looking-and tough"
McCale wanted to answer that,
all things considered, he was prob
ably just as tough-that he just
wasn't big. But he didn't.
She seemed, for a moment, at q
loss to begin. The old eyes searched
his anxiously, and were withdrawn,
as If the brain behind them was
confused and helpless. He knew that
there was desperation there, that
it was difficult for her to play a
part, but that she had determined
to play it. He waited, and the ST.
lence in the room heightened. He
saw that she was still searching
for an integrity behind the flash
Of his exterior. He saw the light
60 out Of her eyes and realized with
chagrin that she would not tell him
what was gnawing at her mind, that
she had decided to risk acquiring
his aid only in part.
my niece is to be married next
week, Mr.. McCale. Perhaps you
have heard Of herr"
eyes, indeed. Veronica Bigelow.
Her pictures are very lovely" He'd
never seen one!
She frightened considerably.
"She is lovely. My favorite niece,
Mr.. McCale. She'll be very wealthy,
too. My brothers child. The we'd
ding, of course, will be at Trinity,
but the reception is to take place
at the family's town house. There
are great many beautiful and
priceless gifts on display. They viii
have to be guarded night and day."

Flying a Straight Line

Pilots of super-planes flying at

Keep Coffeemaker Clean

Keep the coffeemaker scrup-
ulously clean. It should be wash
ed with hot suds and scalded
every time it is used. This would
indicate, too, that it's a waste of
coffee to make large potful to
be used for serveral days. Warm
ed-over coffee is bitter and un-
palatable.
