two possibilities Either the
corpse just happened to you,
Notwithstanding you-I still find
hard to believe. Or - someone's
paying you off for past favors.
That corpse was earmarked for
Jigger Moran, adventure boy and
pathological buttinski."
"Frame-up?" Jigger thought it
over, then shook his head. u
doubt it.
Red said wearily, Il suppose it's
no use my advising you to lay off
and let the police solve this one
for themselves"
Too plainly, it was no use. Jig
ger was withdrawn, busily re-
arranging the furnishings of his
mind to make room for a new,
yet familiar object corpse.
Soon, he began briskly like man
who had clearly formulated

First, get some sleep, Red.
Then nose around. Start with the

ritably 'Nobody's retained you.
nobody's invited you in, and there
isn't a kopek anywhere in sight to
tempt your larcenous soul. So
what's your motive in sleuthing
this one ?"
Preventive. The police might
try to make the character fit the

Bull. The first hard fact they
uncover will make you the forgot

Jlgger grlnned, "Okay you're

This one promises to be a puzzle

Red looked into Jigger's face
uneasily. There's that unholy
look in your eyes. With you, play

disgustedly, and a note of lamen-
tation crept into his voice, How

Chapter 3
Your question about how lone
the brunette'd been dead. The
medical report shows she was
killed sometime between three and
six pm. yesterday" The plain.
clothesman looked at Jiggel
shrewdly.
Jigger said, coincidence. You're
crazy if you build on it."
What should we do?"
Catch the murderer and mail
me an apology"
Then the theory that this was
your girl, that you were mixed uI
in something together, that you
were forced to shut her up"
Smells"
How about the theory that
you were doing body disposal
job for somebody, for fee"
The big wall-clock now read
four am.
The spotlight died and the
lights were sudden; Jigger blink
ed. then explored into the depths
of the room. The covey of plain
clothesmen trimming the bare
room was gone. Besides his in
quisitor, just one man remained,
He was leaning against the far
wall, holding a stenographic pad.
The secretary closed his pad
and went out. The plainclothcs-
man went to the door. He turned
and said, "A friend wants to see
you. I'll send him in"
The door opened and a coatless
figure entered.
Jigger identified him with q
pang. The skinny fellow with the
close-cropped hair and perennial
campus look was Red, free-lance
journalist and improvident writer
of plays, features, fiction, col
umts. Red was the one man OPP

Jigger said compassionately
''What'd they do to you, Red?"
Reds hand described Jigger'i

BUSY BEES MEET

The third meeting of the Busy
Bee Sr., All club was held at the
Newport ME-. Church Wednesday
May 30, at 2 o'clock. The meet
ing was called to order by the
president, May Lee Brown. Secre-
tary report was read and approx
ed. We are to have our pattern
and material by next meeting. We
discussed about our projects for
the coming year for our business
discussion. Our next meeting will
be June 6 at Madison Rural
School. The cooking club will
meet at 100 o'clock and the
sewing will meet about 2 o'clock.
Everyone enjoyed recreation and
refreshments. Mary Renick, re-
porter.

When this is over?" Red eyed
Jigger suspiciously. For me it's
over the minute the cops bow me
out of this slaughter-house. What
ever this set-up is, count me
OUT. I'm not even interested in
reading about it in the morning
papers,"
Jigger protested, Nice un-
friendly attitude I'm just an in
nocent bystander like yourself"
Red was a man twice bitten
times ninety. Like Louis XVI
was an innocent bystander at the
French Revolution"
Jigger reached to pat him and
Red reared disdainfully. A mo-
ment like a tug of war ensued.
Red held Jigger's eyes, first res
olutely, then waveringly, as an
unspoken understanding grew and
was cemented.
Jigger said simply, "On the
level, Red. I just fell into it. All
I did was haul a trunk"
Red studied Jigger's face. He
said anxiously, True or not, right
now the police aren't buying il.
They're trying to pin it on you
with the biggest safety pin they
can find"
Jigger inquired fearfully,
"What'd they question you about,
Red?"
The whole book. They asked
about the women in your life, and
who you know especially in
police circles" Red sighed heav-
lily, Pending them off aged me
ten years"
Jigger made sudden shushine
noise. There was delayed
alarm radioing a message to his
brain. This reunion with Red by
official arrangement!
He prowled about the basement
exploring. He found the dicta-

fooled into the stone floor.
Jigger said loudly. Shows
over, boys. Now how about little
legalism known as due process
If it's an arrest, / demand tho
right to phone an attorney"
A gap of silence, then a loci
sounded and the door opened. The
plainclothesman with the feath
cred speech regarded them quiet
ly. He said, You're a smarr
cookie, Jigger." The voice sharp
ened, Maybe too smart"
Jigger said, Which is it-arres
or the open door,"
The plainclothesman gestured
You're free, for now"
Outside the storm was over
There We're the first pulsini
sounds of dawn; the whining ex

There's the great 18th Century
citadel on the eastern hills over
looking Cairo-an outstanding ex-
ample of Islamic architecture. The
citadel is the tomb of the famous
Sultan Saladin, who met his death
in the Third Crusade.
There's the world-nenowned
Egyptian Museum with its golden
death masks and other treasures
from the ng-buried tombs of
King Tut and other ancient phar-
oahs. And there's the River Nile
and the Nile boatmen on it.
Picturesque Craft
The full-bellied faloocas with
their spreading sails carry much
of Egypt's internal bulk traffic:
cotton, dates, clay pottery, grain,
onions and other farm produce.
Though the cargoes are prosaic,
the faloocas themselves make
pretty pictures. Many westernerS
living in Egypt use picture of
a falooca with full sail set, as a
Christmas card scene.
The falooca is among the most
photogenic of the river craft.
Sailing on the Nile is a hereditary
occupation. The rivermen, al
though they never make much
money, have great prestige among
the Egyptian villager and fella-
heen, who seldom in his life tra-
vels more than a few miles from
his simple house.
The Nile boatman is looked on
as the adventurous wayfarer. He
gets to the big cities of Cairo and
Alexandria and spins strange tales
of them in the back country.
Boatman's Life
The boatmen have their ira
ditional chanting songs songs of
love, usually which they may
sing as they float idly downstream
or as they sweat turning the cap
stan that raises the falooca's mast.
The mast must be lowered so the
faloooa can pass under bridges
over the main river and side cam
ais.

Dear Sir:
We believe the enclosed letter
received by Miss Gertrude Won
Riesen, Director of Religious
Education In Madison County will
be of interest to your readers and
the boys and girls in the Religious
Education classes and to the citi-
zens of the county.
Some months ago contributions
were received from the pupils in
the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9Th grades
of the county schools, including
London to purchase a heifer for
donation to some worthy family
in a distressed area of the world
and this is a preliminary report
of its disposition. We believe this
project is fine example of
Christian sharing.
Respectfully yours,
Floyd Williams, Chairman
Board of Madison County
Religious Education.

Dear Miss Won Riesen:
We are happy to inform you
that your heifer No. 19/H419122
arrived in Germany a few days
ago. She looks quite good after
her ocean voyage and / believe
she will quickly adjust to her new
home here.
Your heifer will be held in quar-
antine, along with others in this
shipment, for two weeks in Bre-
men. This is done to give them
a chance to recuperate a little
from their long trip and as a
health precautionary measure. AT
the end of the. quarantine period
she will be shipped to newly de-
veloped refugee community not
far from the Belgium border in
the western part of western Ger
many. Here homes and farms
are being developed from former
waste land, for a few of the many
thousands of refugee farmers who
at present have no means of sup
porting themselves. Having lost
their homes, farms, and all pos
sessions in the aftermath of. the
war they have nothing with which
to begin again except their own
faith and such help as friends
can give.
The family who receives your
heifer will be given your name as
the donor, and believe you will
soon hear directly from them.
hope also that it viii be possible
for me to visit this family during
the coming months and I will be
glad to give you more information
at that time.
In addition to the physical help
which your gift represents, your
heifer is also a living symbol OF
Christian love and friendship. TIC
these people who have been the
victims of SO much misfortune anC
despair this help contributes to the
building of a new hope.
Please write US if we can be oil
service in any way.
Sincerely yours
