Chapter 7
AMATEUR DETECTIVES
FB mild-eyed, oldish Stevens en
tered, greeting Jerry casually
and offering a surprisingly muscu
lar hand to Emory following the In
troduction. "Just thought I'd look In," he ex
plained, genially. "Got your ad
dress at the Held." ,
The little man's Inoffensive Tolce
dwindled off Into silence as he
glanced admiringly around the
tastefully furnished room. He
looked about as little like a deteo
tlve, Jerry thought, as anyone pos
sibly could.
"I see you're been reading the
papers," he continued. Indicating
the scattered heap on the floor.
"This business Is getting to be a
nuisance. Worst of It Is, I'm de
clared In on It, now, for good. All
on account of this One-shot Luccl."
Emory passed him a box of
cigars. He selected one, broke It
In bait, remained silent for a few
moments while he got his chew
safely under control, then aat back
la hit chair with a sigh of con
tentment "Hear you've been running out
of gat down Atlantlo City way," be
eonflded unexpectedly.
Jerry looked at him sharply, but
ths calm little man waa placidly
eyeing a Currier and Ives print on
the opposite wall.
"Uh, bub." The detective looked
sautlously around the floor, under
the table and Into the nearest cor
ner. Then, meeting the hostile Im
pact ot Hawes't eye, he sat back
trying to appear unconcerned.
"This gum shoe business Is a funny
game," be observed, apropos of
nothing.
"Why!" asked Emory politely.
The faded blue eyea met bis.
"A feller doesn't get anywhere
all by himself. He chases around
to bellangoae and then finds that
someone else baa copped the prise.
A lot ot ambltlout young fellers
start galloping oft with their tails
over the dashboard going to get
somewhere In a hurry. Pretty soon,
though, they come back sort of
tired and dlscouraged-IIke and are
glad enough to get a llttlo help.
He lapsed Into melancholy medi
tation, gating about the room.
Jerry and Emory, watching him In
tently,, held tbelr peace.
"Me, I alwaya have to take all
the help I can get." Stevens com
plalaed. "Now, In this case, tor In
stance. O'courae, I got an Idea, Just
the same as you fellers have, that
the racketeers are stepping out
high, wide and handsome.
"And I figure, just like you do,"
be oontlnued, regarding a lithograph
of the "Cutty Sark" with Interest,
"that the gangsters are smart
enough to cash In on airplanes as
the next step up from armor-pitted
limousines as a means ot getting
around fast Well, what's nextf
He looked at bis listeners, bis eyes
mildly questioning. "You boys want
to keep on playing single-handed, or
could I buy a stack ot chips and alt
In with you? I got an Idea I could
make the game more Interesting for
you. And you could pep It up a bit
for me, too. WhataayT" . ,
Emory grinned broadly. The
Queer old chap waan't such an Inno
cent, blundering fool aa he had
seemed. Gangsters! Airplanes, ar
mored limousines, machine guns
man, almost as good as another
world war) And he had thought
that life was getting dull!
"You bet we'll team up with you,"
he exclaimed, glancing to the nod
ding Jerry tor his assent. "My lit
tle boy friend over here Is Itching
to return the crack he got In the
conk to the bird who presented It
to him. And, If you Insist upon
knowing, tt't my Idea thtt he wantt
to he rescuing hero to a fair damtel
In dlatrett.
"Now tell us, just to assuage our
curiosity, why do you think this Is
an affair among professional gang
sters!" The little man chewed romlna
tlvely for several seconds.
"Tell you," he said at last. "They
CONGRESS LISTS
LEGISLATION OF
MAJOR IMPORT
WARRINGTON. July 18. IP)
Here, In brief, Is the major lestala
tlon record of the congressional ses
sion which ended Saturday nltht:
Laws end resolutions enacted:
Hoover moratorium.
Reconstruction Corporation act.
Glaas-Steagall banking law.
Billion dollar tat act.
The el 60.000.000 economy law.
Tbe tl38.000.000 farm loan bank
law.

stole a car to go after Miss went
worth, Hamilton and Mallory. Prob
ably stole one In Chicago last night,
too. That's natural. You wouldn't
expect - them to go gallivanting
around In tbelr own. But Instead
of doing what you or I might do,
Just picking one up off the street,
they lifted It off a bird who they
knew wouldn't report It to the cop
pers. "The next sign Is this One-shot
business. The gunning of bis two
torpedoes had all the ear marka ot
a hard-shooting, fast-working mob.
Besides, who, outnlde of one ot the
big gang-leaders, would dare to tool
with a ten-minute egg like this One
shot? His very name Is a dose of
poison to all the little fellers In the
racket.
"All right, then, who kidnaped
that whole outfit? Someone who
wasn't afraid of One shot of
course." The calm, Inoffensive little
man seemed to be thinking aloud
and the two men followed bis mus
ings breathlessly. "It would be an
other gang leader, according to my
way of thinking. That makea It
simpler and harder. Simpler be
cause there are only three or four
of those red hots In the whole coun
try who are big enough and smooth
enough to put over such a racket.
Harder because the big league gang
sters have got what the ordinary
crook hasn't, a fair amount of
shrewd Intelligence and a positive
gift for getting away with things
and covering their tracks so that
tbe best you can do la to run In some
little two-timer who pulled the trig
ger of the chopper or tossed the
pineapple.
"Well, I've been following those
gangsters 'till I've got broken
arches and housemaid's knee, but
I've never been able to put anything
that would atlck on one of the big
boys. It's a lousy business I'm In.
I ought to buy me a little pecan
grove In California and settle
down." '
His slow, fretful drawl faded out.
Jerry and Emory glanced at him In
astonishment Before his arrival
they had been moderately satisfied
with their progi-ess. It needed his
dispassionate aummlng-up to prove
to them that In the last analysis,
they knew only that tbe amphibian
whose crew bad picked up ths
money had been flying south when
they last saw it
"What can we do to help your'
begged Jerry, In a dished voice.
"Thought you might be able to
give me a little help on the airplane
end of It seeing It's more than like
ly they are doing most ot their run
ning around In the air," replied Ste
vens casually. "I've got a fair pull
with the department but I doubt If
I could get them to lend a plane and
a pilot even It they had one, which
they haven't I've got a hunch that
we're going to And those missing
people have been toted away In a
plane." .
"Tell you what I'll do," Interrupted
Emory Impulsively. "The old train
ing ship that Jerry, here, has been
flying hasn't enough power to pull
your bat off. I happen to be a little
flush with money Just now, so I'll
drive over to Mlneola and see how
soon I can get delivery on a brand
new three or four passenger plane
that'll bave speed and gas capacity
enough to take us somewhere and
back In a hurry. Next time we pick
those crooks up we'll follow them
until they land, wherever that may
be."
"Grand Idea," approved the de
tective, "Cost a lot ot money,
though. But you might get It back,
at that"
"I'm not worried about that part
ot It The fun will be worth what It
costs." ,
"Maybe," replied the other doubt
fully. "Can't say as it looks like fun
to me. More like a whole flock ot
trouble. But at I Just said, you
might get your money back. This
morning that bunch of fancy law-'
yers Is announcing a reward of
1100.000 apiece for the recovery of
the three who were kidnaped the
night your boy friend, here, nearly
got tbe works. And another hun
dred grand for anyone who causes
the arrest and conviction of the
leader of the mob that turned the
trick." .
"Tell you what let's do," Emory
burst out excitedly. "Let's form a
partnership, the three ot us. It we
get any of the reward, we'll split It
three ways. 1
"Suits me," agreed the little man,
quietly. "Now If you bablet will
settle down a tew minutes, I'll slip
yon a tew Ideas."
Tbe three drew their chairs close
together and went Into a huddle.

problem of spread between the pro
ducer and the consumer, wherein
large part of the dollar that morally
belongs to the producer, disappears
Into thin air. Insofar as tbe farmer la
concerned.
There seems to be a number of peo
ple In this fair land of ours who are
out to get much more of this world's
goods than they are morally entitled
to. We say morally, because we
know that many of those who have
amassed fortunes are working entirely
within their legal rights: The laws
protect them, because they are made
for them and by them.
