Doubtless L keel has a mustache. fill vision is too much for Xftia. He jumps up and no ta tot the first time the guard Cwling at him through the bars. Kii miard is not a pleasant- Ctlnj sight. He has a neck that Lid be more becoming on a linoceroB and he has a club in Ik hind. The man is not quite i big as Angus, but he is the best a Hew York police department mil dig up on short notice. I'm all right now," says Angus tarfully. "You can let me outa fee." 'Sure. Remind me In 1980, fcawhlle the inspector wants to at jou. He's waitin'. Better teas peaceful." WHEN Angus enters Inspector f Callahan's office, the room is til of cops and men with cameras u guys who take one look at urui and start writing. A flash fht bulb goes oft about a foot sm Us face, and Angus dives for a cameraman who locks hlm ilt in the Inspector's washroom id refuses to come out. A dozen officers pile on Angus pi hurl him in a chair. After a taipn of minutes, Angus figures kit that the gray-haired man with Iron jaw and the ruddy face, no ii glaring at him from behind ft desk is Inspector Callahan. "So you're Angus MacPhlllips?1 mi the Inspector, and he looks fcngui up and down. fiir.says Angus. "Glad eoavRKHr. i4t, mia Slavics, me. ',,"l.eel you, sir." He waits and nothing happens, so he says, "Nice day, Isn't it?" ' "It was." barkM , T. "Now. Mr. MarShdH;". "Za.l tell me. If I'm not imposing on you, just what in hell you thought you were doing this momine"1 I was looking for my girl and couple of policemen stonni me." " inspector Callahan exnM ma couple of policemen! Look at this mob in here. Every one of them was mixed up in that riot. They're all here except the two that re signed and the three that ain't out of the hospital yet." Angus looks around mil at the cops, but his smile freezes when he sees that most of them have bandages on their faces and several are wearing dark glasses. Too bad," he murmurs sympathetically. 'I haven't time to describe all your crimes In one afternoon." says the Inspector, "but I can Rive you a rough idea. You are charged with speeding, driving without an inter-state license, stealing a truck and butter valued at $650, going through more stop lights than I thought we had in new York and resisting an offi cer piurai. .wow maybe you'd like to start from the berinnine to explain." Even Angus can see there is no sense In arguing with this indi vidual. So after he is back in his cell he just lies down on his bunk and thinks how nice it would be if Adoreen had married him and if she weren't so impulsive. WHEN Angus wakes up, he is in ' a cold sweat and the morning sun Is coming through his little window. The guard, whose name is Joe, is rattling his club along the bars. "For a guy what's got every broken law in the books on his conscience you sure sleep like a bear. Come on, you're wanted in the Inspector's office." For a minute after he steps into Inspector Callahan's office, Angus is sure he Is still having his night mare and then the idea slowly sinks in that the girl sitting next to the inspector's desk the girl in the soft, silky brown dress with the white, bubbly collar, and the sheer silk stockings and high heeled shoes is Adoreen Mlckle twidge, prettiest girl in Dlpple swink county. "Addle!" Angus gulps. "Gee, I was worried about you. Are you all right? I was gonna" "Maybe you didn't see the pa pers, Mr. MacPhlllips," she says acidly. "Of course not, jailbirds don't read Baners or do they? Anvwav. vou have made me the laughing stock of New York. You have ruined my career, my whole ue, mi. macfnilllps, that's all.' Look at this paper: 'CALIBAN, AND ARIEL'! 'LONE WARRIOR BESIEGES GOTHAM TO WIN, FAIR DAMSEL.' Nuts!" "Why, Addie! Gosh, I didn't! mean to make you sore, you didn't get fired, did you?" r irea irom what?" about Your job the one you wrotel Dandn' in a chorua. ari something." Adoreen Is enrnfnl. "nh thof l It was gone when I got there. Any-, way, t wouldn't nave taken It. It; was in a burlesque show." Angus is shocked, but he says, "Look, Addle, when I cot nut here" Inspector Callahan motions to the guard. "She can't wait that long, MacPhlllips even if she wanted to which the doesn't. Now that Miss Mickletwidge has told you what she wanted to say, you may as well go back and pon der on your sins until the court can set aside a week or so to han dle all the charges against you." A ITER he gets back to his cell, Angus is lonelier than he has ever been before. He wonders if he can smash the bars,- and then ne is ashamed of himself because Joe trusts him so. He doesn't know that the bull-necked jailer has an arsenal handy just a couple of yards from Angus' cell. In the afternoon, he asks the jailer to play double solitaire with him, so Joe stuffs some brass knuckles and a six-shooter in his pocket and brings a couple of decks of cards into the cell. After supper, Angus sits on his bunk and chews a stick of gum until the lights go out. Then he rolls in and manages to get some sleep. Joe is yelling his name when he comes to. It is morning again, and for a minute he thinks he is back in Pop Wergenheimer's hotel in Moosehart and Pop is waking him up to drive the truck back to Caleb. But when Angus sees the guard's face, he remembers where he is and grunts unhappily. "Get up, MacPhlllips," Joe is yelling. "There's a dame to see you. She's In the Inspector s of fice." Angus glares at Joe. Ado reen said yesterday she wasn't going to see him again ever. And there isn't any other girl in the whole city of New York who knows him. "What's her namq, Joe?" Angus asks. "A Miss Margate and hurry up." Angus looks at Joe and then scratches his head. There is some thing funny here. He doesn't know any Miss Margate.
