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

fcngui up and down.

nothing happens, so he says, "Nice
day, Isn't it?" '
"It was." barkM , T.

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.
