Struth ers, who seemed to have as little use tor food as he had for sleep, departed for the office again tak ing Halsey with him, and thus Bill Talcott was left alone with MacDoweU. The detective was shaky, off balance and very near collapse. "You ain't such a bad guy," MacDowell muttered as BUI Tal cott directed his arm into a sleeve. "I guess you had to hit me Say, d"you suppose I could have a drink?" Talcott nodded, summoned the boy, and when the drink was brought MacDoweU,' was clothed. "You ain't such a bad guy," MacDoweU said again. Suddenly he put the glass down and tip toed to the window, looked out and aU around; tiptoed back to the door and searched the haU beyond. Apparently saUsfied, he returned to the center of the room, inclined his head and in a hoarse whisper aid, Ya know somep'n? I dont like that guy Struthers." Talcott covered his surprise. "No? I thought you feUows were buddies." "Me, a buddy to him? I'd like to kick him in the pants "Mac DoweU, get up! Do yer dootyl' " Talcott swallowed a smile. "Strange, wasn't it, how he avoided all that trouble at the dock?" "Yean. Listen, I been watchin' you, an' the more I watch the more satisfied I am somep'n stinks besides the fertilizer around here." MacDoweU paused. "Lis ten, can you keep your mouth shut?" ,, "I can." MacDoweU bent forward furth er and in his eagerness his eyes were distended until he stared from their tops; his voice was sunk lower still. "Private or pub lie, rm still a cop, see? I'm gettin' paid to do a job, and so far as anybody knows I'm gonna do it But I ain't such a bad guy my- iself. Maybe I framed a few guys ifor divorce proceedings, but it (was because the guys themselves rwanted to get framed, see? I never been a party to framing a guy for the pen, and I'm too old to start now." BUI Talcott could no longer teontrol his surprise. "Do you imean you have evidence that IStruthers is trying to frame me?" MacDoweU moved his hands hastily. "Listen, I didn't say, that. I only said I don't like how this thing smells. So I'm gonna help you if you'll keep your mouth shut" a JTY7AS this a trap? MacDowell " was in Struthers' employ; he pad come to Abas with Struthers and Halsey. He was hand in glove rwith the auditor, and if a plot "was cooking, he would be an in- Igredient But Mr. MacDoweU had (taken a few . nasty raps that rweren't In the cards. Was this (Just a new twist to the old con ifidence game, or was the man fed (up and sincere? Talcott eyed him (speculatively and decided to igamble. ; "All right," Talcott said. "What s lyour proposition?" ; MacDowell inhaled sharply. !This is a Dutch island, ain't it?" "Yes." ! "Okay. What happens If you Irefuse to be extradited?" j Talcott stared. "You mean" ! "If you don't want to go back Ito New York with me, I ain't got (the power to make you. You can tie this thing up ai the courts with a writ of habeas corpus. Legally, they can't touch you un tU you been extradited, and that sometimes takes a long while. From what you said to Struthers, 1 ngure you want to stick around so's to see he don't put any clinchers on you. That way you could do it See?" Talcott searched the other's face In amazement. Here indeed was help from an unexpected quarter. Abas being, a Dutch island some 600 air miles distant from the seat of government he could stand on his rights; could dispatch a letter Jor legal counsel and wait calmly while lawyers and Judges argued ithe matter. He could remain on the island, a thorn in Struthers' wide, watching, tabulating and compiling evidence in his own de fense. He could squat on his lhaunches while the little auditor apped like a terrier. It would be satisfaction in a large measure tor what he had suffered. That way he would get satls- oction. But would satisfaction olve the problem? Bcvenge was ike tfettlne drunk: vnu hurt snmo- Ibody else because they had hurt lyou and all the while tho more important things were going on without you. You stood and Igloated over your antagonist who, in the last analysis, might bo merely an agent sacrificed to pre vent you from reaching the end. ' 'TWERE was something else; significant Already, in the eyes of the men, Halsey was boss. The new man had rrnwd rilmsplf hVhllo Bill Tnlmlt hnH Inst tarn. Ijlow would they interpret his con tinued inactive presence? What would Sehnstlen nnd blnek Tomas land 11 tha others think of hint 1 if he were to remnin, vindictive; but ineffectual, an impotent vege table ripening to rottenness In tho sun? He could face accusations, could fight words and tricks and legal proceedings, but he could never bear to seo the light of re spect and affection in tho eyes of his men change to darkness, bitter and hard with disappointment No, the locus of the thing lay in New York; perhaps in tho cloistered offices of Federal Chem ical itself. No matter what the manifestations, his task was clear; ho must avoid and overcome the lesser obstacles thrust as bait in his path. His object was the end. Slowly he turned. "I appreciate your offer, MacDoweU. I fully ap preciate what it cost you to make it. The advice you have given me iis valuable, but I'm not going to take it." MacDowell's mouth gaped. "What? You mean you're gonna let them go ahead an' smear you? You're gonna take it layin' down?" "I mean I'm returning to New York with you on the Blue Petrel A man can't ran away from his troubles. My trouble is in New York. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way I'm buUt I've got to face Winters for a showdown." "But while you're outa here, he can " "He may do anything he likes He has taken a stand. So have t I much prefer mine." .MacDowell started to sputtei something in protest when a new voice from the doorway caused him to whirl about June Paterson was there, calmb eyeing them. "A very prettj speech," she sniffed. "How suet 'a virtuous creature as you seem to be can get yourself in so much trouble, I don't understand. Sc you're going on the Blue Petrel tool My, won't that b a Jolly party?" A slow, angry flush stole through TiJcott's cheeks. Some day, he promised himself, this up start cousin of Lowell Byrd's would find herself across Iris knee. (To Be Continued) From government lourcti comes the estimate that the ser vices of something like 1,700,000 men and women will bo needed to build the 125.000 planes call ed for by President Roosevelt in the 1943 schedule. The manufacture of rubber from certain kinds of weeds which grow in American deserts, is being considered by chemists in far western states. In the early days of motoring when tires were not so durable as they are today, some motor ists used strips of leather over the outside casings. 5 THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson a , cops..iierKEsttvtce.u. t.m.m&u.s.pat.f.
