THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., NOV. 3, 1938 ^ DICK TRACY FANS! "Sportsman Flies High" by La Keat ing Synopsis Detective Dan Colwell of the Graber - Vael private detective agency is assigned the job of shadowing lawyer Arthur McDonald whose wife fears gangster enemies are plotting to murder bim. McDonald is murdered in spite of Colwell's watchfulness. Dan is hot on their trail and sus- CHAPTER IV But what tensed him again was gnawing realization that he had not followed the flight of the two killers! It was to trail them that instinctively almost, he had got himself out of the confusion of the murder discovery. He peered back, his eyes roving to the sidewalk where another policeman tried to keep a fast-swelling crowd under control while a partner who had appeared from somewhere, probed with drawn revolver through the mob surrounding the cab to seize whomever the panicky driver might accuse. Colwell discovered the slip of paper crumpled in his moist palm. He smoothed it quickly and frowned at the figures inked therein. They were 705-447, and below that, 229. What did they mean? He thought a moment, shrugged, glanced back. An urgent hunch, or perhaps it was his background of experience, prompted him to go down the flight of steps. The bus slowed and stopped at the next corner. The conductor busily collecting fares inside did not see Colwell alight. Bit Of White Paper He heard a grimy newsboy yell to another across the street: "Hey Ike, whatcha think? Guy murdered down there in a cab!" Hurrying back to the scene, Colwell involved himself in the tide of curious, thrill-seeking humanity. He had tucked that bit of white paper into his vest. It must be a page out of a notebook of Arthur McDonald. That was a bestial way to murder! The knife wielder must know something of anatomy; he had plunged his cold blade to the precise spot which would paralyze the victim's power of shouting out and giving the alarm. In the crowd that was now being roughly jostled by four policemen he searched face after face to locate the two riders with Arthur Ms-Donald. After a moment of fruitless effort Colwell worked himself into the clear. He was in the nick of time to glimpse two backs as the very men he sought strode west toward Alton Street. They must , have lingered to make certain their victim was dead. One back wore that striped suit, the other, the dark Rheumatism JUST DO WHAT YOU SEE IN THESE PICTURES TO RELIEVE PAIN QUICKLY To relieve pain of rheumatism or neuritis quickly, try the "Aspirin" way---shown above. People everywhere say results are remarkable. "Aspirin" Tablets are economical, which makes the use of expensive "pain remedies" unnecessary. If this way fails, see your doctor. He will find the cause and correct it. While there, ask him about taking "Aspirin" to relieve these pains. We believe he will tell you there is no more effective, more dependable way normal persons may use. Demand and Get/ "ASPIRIN Colwell followed them. They passed into the Illinois Building lobby, exited through a candy store, and went into the arcade of the Miller a few doors north. That was to shake pursuit-- although Dan guessed the pair felt secure at it was. Just a precaution. His lips thinned in a grim smile. They hadn't shaker him and they wouldn't! As he rather anticipated, the men finally entered the tall, dark stone office building known as the Lawyers and Doctors. Colwell let them enter an elevator while he paused before the wall directory. He took the next car to the eleventh floor. Sure enough, as he glimpsed the two just disappearing within the opaque glassed suite that bore the black lettering, "Arthur H. McDonald, Attorney At Law." Where The Two Men Went The corridor door remained swung wide. Colwell lounged near- limply into a broad leather chair. His partner fanned him with his hat. He turned to the girl, spoke urgently to her. "--not feeling well all day. Heart seems a little off and--" The Formula Quickly she brought a glass of water, which Bradshaw held to his friend's lips. While he did so he made some request of the secretary. She started from the office but waited when he called to her. The girl stepped back for a bit of paper he took from Quillen's vest "That's the formula. Have him make 'em up quick--but take time to be right! They're dangerous if they ain't made up right, see? Don't worry, sister, but kind of step on it. Pharmacy two floors up, you say? I'll take care of him." Colwell was intent on the building directory when the sweet and" intelligent looking brunette sped from McDonald's office on tiny heels that clicked sharply across the whiee marble floor. She sighed her worried disappointment that no elevator was nigh. She scarcely glanced at Dan Colwell, but clutching the prescription for Quillen's heart medicine, turned and scurried for the stairway. It was a new idea for a rase This Seed Stitch Coat Is Exclusive With Laura Wheeler KNITTED COAT AND CAP t.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Quillen, but Mr. McDonald hasn't returned yet from lunch." "I see. Miss Jennings, meet my friend Mr. Bradshaw. Well Jim, we might as well stick around, eh? You expect him back soon, Miss Jennings?" "Oh year, any minute. Just make yourselves comfortable, please. Why!" she exclaimed. "Mr. Quil- Colwell heard a chair smash into another or against the wall. "It's --all right. 1--I'm all right," came Quillen's voice, and again the worried, fearful gasp of the girl. Dan strolled past the anteroom. He glimpsed Miss Jennings and the fellow named Bradshaw, one at either side of Quillen, half carrying him to an inner office. Quillen sank but it was a good one. As Colwell expected, Bradshaw came hastily and. closed the corridor door. Already he had some gleaming object in his hand which he had whipped out of the lining of his coat. Already Quillen wat> on his feet, the heart attack forgotten, his long oval face that ended in a lantern jaw wearing the crafty, sneaky look which proved they had merely wanted to get rid of that girl. Each time an elevator neared, Colwell wandered around the elbow of the corridor. Then he returned his hawklike vigilance on that McDonald suite masked as again he shifted weight and stared at the elevator signals or paced impatiently up and down. He did not care to go into the office. That wasn't his game. He wanted to follow these fellows and their movements. A hard JOIN THE DICK TRACY SECRET SERVICE PATROL It's Easy I It's Fun!
