Janet Hever knew how long 3 Was before etective very gently touche Adelaide's shoulder. "The doctor's here, ma'am," he said, "He'll have to examine him, you know. You'd better go to your room now. We'll call you when the doctor's through." With a long sigh Adelaide obeyed, hardly aware, it seemed, of Jimmy and Janet's guiding hands as they led her into her bedroom. She sat on her bed in an unseeing silence, her face looking as though it were carved from stone. Janet sat by her, hold- ing her hands, unable to offer any words of comfort. Presently Jimmy tiptoed from the room. The doctor had finished the examination and was snapping his medicine case shut as immy came into the room. "Accidental (cath from a bullet wound," the doctor announced. "His wife is in there doctor, she's pretty much upset--oh, not hysterical, but so still and white I'm worrie about her. I wonder if you hadn't better see her?" Jimmy asked. The doctor nodded, "Yes, shock I suppose. Well, I'll look at her and give her something to make her sleep. Meantime, you see that things are cared for here--body removed, room cleaned up and so on, and when she wakes in the morning she'll be more normal." He went in to see Adelaide, spoke so gently and considerately to her that she obeyed him like a little child, drank the sleeping draft he prepared and within an hour was sound asleep. Meantime, Jimmy had held a conference with the detectives. "How- much of "this will get in the papers?" he asked = Flatfoot, whose real name it developed was Robert- son. "That. depends on you," Robertson answered. "We'll just report the facts, and. if you want to make a big fuss about it, give out interviews to the papers and so on, that's your lookout." "We want to keep just as quiet about it as we can," Jimmy told him. "Well, of course the death of a big gangster like Butch here is bound to make a noise. They'll want to talk to hsi wife, make pictures of her and so on. Now if I was you I'd just stay right here with them two ladies, and if you really want to keep from seeing a lot of reporters I'll put a man on guard here and tell him not to let any one in unless you say so. His wife will have to stand a certain amount of publicity because she'll be going to the funeral and so on, and She'll have to testify at the Coroner's inquest. But you and the other young 1 4 can just stay here quietly until it blows over and get away without much talk," "That will be fine," Jimmy agreed, hoping with all his heart he fight be able to ane! m scandal "I don't mind testifying at the inquest myself if vieed another witness, but I would like to keep Miss Lane out of it if we can" Robertson nodded, "OK. It will help, too, if you tell the widow just to answer the questions thit are asked her, don't go into no details on the stand. All we want is a ver- dict of accidental death while resist- ing the law--if we get that without trouble the whole thing will blow over mighty quick." of the Biggest" "Was 'Butch really the leader of a big gang?" Jimmy asked curiously. Now that he was sure Janet could be saved from the annoyance of news- paper publicity he wanted to talk to some one. "Was he?" Robertson whistled, "I'll tell the world he was--one of the big- gest in New York. We never could get him because, like his wife said, he wouldn't stand for rough stuff. We knew he was log rolling half the liquor sold in the night clubs into the city, but he was too slick. We never could get anything on him until he went berserk two nights ago and shot that guard. But for five years he ran rum and. whisy and everything else in, I'd like to get hold of his books, but one of his men that I caught and made confess claims Butch kept all his customers' names in his head, did 'a spot cash business, paid his men wi the stuff was delivered and nevi kept no receipts. * He had some of fhe wealthiest families in the town on his books and some of the bigg est clubs." "Then I suppose his widow will be pretty well off," Jimmy observed, thinking of Adelaide and her ex- travagant tastes. * "Can't\ say," Robertson answered, "It's easy come easy go with those birds, you know. Probably let his wife run up a lot of bills--he had five grand on him when he died. I've By Barbara Webb Copyright by Public Ledger taken charge of it, but I'll turn it over to her after the Coroner's ver- ict." " Within an hour the living room of the apartment had been. restored to normal, Jimmy tiptoed to Adelaide's room and found her sleeping, with Janet still wearily watching over. her. "You. poor kid," Jimmy said pity- ingly, "You get into bed right this ute. I'm going fo stay here to- night--U'll sleep in the other bedroom and there's a policeman on guard at the door. No one will bother us any- more tonight--they've taken Butch's body away, you know, and in the morning Adelaide can make what- ever plans she wishes for his funeral." Janet got stiffly to her feet. "I'll go to bed," she said, "but I don't know whether 1 can sleep or mot. Poor Adelaide, she loved Butch so in spite of all his faults, you can't help feel- ing sorry for them both." "I do feel sorry," Jimmy said, "and yet, if Butch had to go that was a magnificent way to do it--far better than years in jail, or--or the other way. He lingered a moment, longing to comfort Janet, yet feeling that this was not the time to go to her, She bade hin a wan g night and he left the room. Janet got into bed, d | believing she would not sleep at all, but such is the resilience of youth that she slept soundly and woke with the sun in her eyes and the sound of Adelaide's stifled sobbing in her ears. Hastily she climbed out of her own bed and went to her. "Don't cry, honey," she said pityingly, "it doesn't help, you know-" "Then it is true--they did kill Butch?" Adelaide asked as though she hoped to be reassured, told it was all a bad dream. "Yes, dear, it all happened, but you must be brave now as Butch would want you to be brave." A Nightmare Adelaide sat up in bed, drying her eyes, "It did me good to cry," she said; "now I can go on and take care of things. And, Janet, do you know I have one thing to be thankful for. Butch and I had several hours alone before you came--they were very happy hours--and yet I feel that Butch knew something was going to happen--he kept telling me how he loved me, how happy I had madc him, and all that, just as though he knew he wouldn't have another chance--" "She wept again at thir memory and Janet could only stand in silent misery, letting Adelaide's gricf spend itself in this natural way. The rest of that day always seem ed a nightmare to Janet, a nightmare with only Jimmy's presence to save her sanity. Reporters were storming at the door before they drank their coffee; they had to smuggle Adelaide down the freight elevator in order to get her to the street unobserved; policemen went with them and shielded them as much as possible from the importunities of reporters and photographers. Finally, upon Robertson's advice Adelaide granted an interview late that afternoon. She was dressed in deepest mourning and just before she went into. the y room where the newspaper men and women were assembled she said to Janet and Jimmy, who were with her, "I'm going in there alone with Mr. Robertson. There's no need for you to be dragged into this. Let them take their pictures and get my story ~you keep out of it." They Jecopnizel the wisdom of her plan and suffered her to go alone to her ordeal. She returned to her bed- room in an hour whiic and shaken from her recital of 'lic events of the previous evening. Siortly after that the policeman on guard announced the arrival of Butch's lawyer for a conference with Adelaide. He was a brisk, dapper little man with a commiserating manner, Ade- faide detested him at sight but sat quietly listening to him. As he talked her bewilderment grew, but at last she leaned forward and asked him a question that gripped all his infor. mation of legal verbiage and left the truth revealed starkly and uncompro-, misingly. "Then you mean," she said, "that except for the money he had with him when he died and whatever 1 own outright in this apartment he had nothing whatever?" rl Poster Style.

The curb section was particular- ly buoyant and most buying was found in this section, the listed is- sues being firm but neglected. B. A.
