Runley said, What's Willie
told you about his wife?" The
question was mildly put, with
easy affability. but beneath the
casual manner. Jigger sensed an
insiStence, an implacable wish to
know.
Jigger replied tersely, with
feigned Indifference while his
eyes watched Rumley's face for
a clue that might explain the
curious relationship between this
weirdly unmatched pair. Told
me she was beautiful. That she
went away somewhere. That the
brunette in the Morgue is the late
Mrs. Susan Hunter. That the po-
lice were cynical deaf to his
claim"
Rumley said mockingly, so
the body inside was his wife. .
He turned to Willie. Willie, when
did your wife die ?"
The head worked upward slow
by. Two years. Two years ago."
Runley looked significantly at
Jigger, then twisted back to vii
lie Where did she die ??''
The eyes grew vacant. San
Francisco" He repeated 1t slowly,
as if memorizing it. San Fran
cisco. Susan died in San Fran
cisco two years ago"
Rumley said, Ready to drive
back, Willie ?" It was almost tone
less, but the Interrogation was an
order.
Willie looked obediently at
Rurnley and turned to leave. They
watched him descend the steps,
and bump through the flowing
crowds.
Rurniey made a gesture. See
how it is, gentlemen2"
Jigger queried, Back to an asy-
lum?"
No. Just back. ASylum'S where
he ought to be, though. With the
doors double locked" He sighed
heavily, But it's just back fol

Why isn't he locked up, If he's

"You don't mean he claims
every unidentified corpse is a
wife who died years ago." Red
asked incredulously.
Il mean just that"
Jigger asked, How did Susan
Hunter die 2"
"Pneurnonia."
Buried there-of was the body
shipped home?"
Susan Hunter was cremated
in Frisco; ashes were shipped
back" He added, I'm an urn that
cost old Matthew Hunter five
grand, at least"
Jigger said, That probably ex-
plains Willie's passion for claim
ing bodies. A wife went away,
and a jar of ashes came back.
Willie just can't accept the swap"
He paused, and then inquired
How come Willie's name is
Hunter, like his father-in-law?"
Same family. Old Man Hunter
is also Willie's uncle. Willie and
his wife were cousins" Rumely
took off his wide brimmed hat
and mopped his brow. Now. I'll
ask you a favor. Nobody wants
any publicity in this, so I'd appre-
ciate it If you fellows kept it all
under your hats. The Hunter
family's somebody, and Willie is
a big headache to everybody. -
A smile floated over the waves of
cheek. Besides, if Willie ever hit
the newspapers as a freak item,
Old Man Hunter'd call in my
badge. Do I have your promise p
Jigger nodded, his earlier dis
like somewhat dispelled. Rumely
voiced his thanks, extending a
wet hand to Jigger and Red in
turn. They watched him go off
moving like a vast Easter egg on
a motorized float.
Red spoke first. How'd Rumely
strike you 2"
Jigger hesitated. ''Unpleasantly
mainly. Crafty sums him up. That
god-awful candor was bribe.'
Red frowned. But does Willie
connect with our case ?"
Il doubt It,"
'Why?"
Because the. police evidently
didn't think so. Because Willie i.

His idea has much to recon-
mend it, and certainly sounds
like q real bonanza to the trea-
sury.
Naturally, however, A U. s.
Bureau of Love wouldn't merely
halt at printing an index of mat
rimonial prospects. It would have
to do the job right 1t would
have to arrange gay little parties
at which the wife-seekers and the
Observation-Disclosures could be properly
introduced TO each other in an
informal atmosphere.
And you know how government
bureaus tend to grow. Soon it
would be having branch offices
in night clubs and restaurants.
And who would want to work for
the Department of State then, If
he could wangle q post in the
Bureau of Love and spend his
working hours having cocktails
with shy taxpayers seeking mate
hood?
And how about dishonesty in
office? Wouldn't the unmarried
employees of the bureau grab off
the rich widows and widowers for
themselves and cheat the dues
paying public? 1t wouldn't dc
any good to insist that all the
employees be married. For a mil.
Iion-dollar prospect, half of then
would ditch their own wives anC
husbands.
There is another reason why
Congress probably never viii
create a federal matrimonial
