He read, grinning boyishly : Remembering a newspaper reâ€" porter he had met a few weeks beâ€" fore, he decided to go to the Demoâ€" crat of Brooklyn and see if he could pick up any information at all about Charlie there. Lynne Banâ€" ker was a first cousin of one of his best friends in the little Kentucky college, and could certainly â€" be trusted to keep a confidence. It troubled his conscience no litâ€" tle to pry into Moleen‘s affairs. But he eased it by assuring himself he had only her interest at heart. Afâ€" ter all, she had no one to protect her, and because he had nominated himself Dutch uncle it was up to him to find out if Farro really was the type of man who would be up to no good. Jed felt he owed it to Mignon as well. She was too nice and genorâ€" ous a person to be imposed upon by anyone who would rake unfair advantage of her, A Contract Signed That morning he had signed a contract with Joe Elting, which guaranteed more money than he‘d hoped to ever see in an entire lifeâ€" time. But he felt he couldn‘t cele brate until the Farroâ€"Moleen mysâ€" tery was solved.

"I have not been in New York long enâ€" ough," "They are the slickest gang of counterfeiters this town has ever seen," Banker explained. "Their greenbacks would have fooled even Alexander Hamilton himself, _ A year ago Tom Laine started up a cleanâ€"up and sent about a dozen of the gang up the river. He was of the opinion that he‘d broken it "She is the girl I‘m interested in, The one Farro is annoying." Banker exploded. "Now this begins to make sense! It hooks right in with the tip I got yesterday â€" that Farro is the enâ€" tire brains behind the Rafetti gang.n "Have you ever heard of a girl named Moleen O‘Dare?" The reporter nodded. The Brains Behind it "Pat O‘Dare‘s sister, 1 went to the same church with the O‘Dare kids when I lived in the old neighâ€" borhood. What about her?" Briefly Jed sketched the story of Moleen and her recent meeting with Farro, and of how fast events had moved during the week, Then he asked Banker: of the district attorney‘s daughter, and he had a feeling that Farro was up to no good. Banker looked skeptical. "Are you telling mo that Charlie Farro is rughing Tom Laine‘s daughter?" "That‘s it." Banker whistled. "Whew! This is a beat!" Then he remembered Jed was talking off the record and grinned regretâ€" fully. "I‘m always stumbling across scoops that can‘t be used. That‘s what I get for baving a conâ€" science," Jed explained, feeling a little foolish, that he was interested in Farro only because he had a hunch avlittle friend of his was afraid of him. And also that Farro had also worked his way into the affections "Have 1? I‘m working on him now. What do you know about the tellow ?" At a table in the corner, Jed himâ€" self came siraight to the point. Had Banker ever heard of an atâ€" torney from Brooklyn by the name of Farro? The police reporter sat up in surprise. ie s eA ECTTTee The "Gentleman Hillbilly!" Not bad, Jed told himself, grinning to himself again. Wouldn‘t he have a surprise for the folks back home when the ads came out and he could send clippings and pletures from the papers! Only his mother had been sure her boy had a great talent that would be recognized. If it hadn‘t been for her, he would have lived and died on the dairy farm in Kentucky. Do You Know Him? Fortunately, Lynne Banker was at his desk in the city room when Jed sent in his name. Lynne seemâ€" ed pleasantly surprised to see his cousin‘s old friend, When he learnâ€" ed Jed had something to discuss with him in confidence he suggostâ€" ed they go across the street for a beer. as many funny Southern numbers which he had a fine flare, and use as he could cramâ€"into his reperâ€" toire.

He strongly suspected that the maestro was worried about whether she was out dancing with some one else. When Jed arrived at the Wayâ€" side Inn, Sunny told him Mignon had called up and said they had decided to try another night spot But, worst of all, Jed had the feeling that Mignon was really inâ€" terested in Charlie Farro. It was beginning to look like a case of love at first sight. Sunny‘s Disappointment If the opportunity came, â€" Jed was more certain than ever that Mr. Farro was going to get that sock in the jaw that he had been yearning to administer. Now he was certain that he had good cause in messing up his pretty face and sleek hair job that would be a very great pleasure. snn iiitis t tadialsict es Ad It would be a terrific blow to Mignon when she found out that the girl to whom she had been so kind was not trustworthy, Jed rode back out to the Long Isâ€" land inn in a turmoil, However inâ€" nocent Moleen might be of any connection with Farro and the Raâ€" fetti gang, the fact that she had kept silent about her brother put her in a serious position. Jed felt certain that she must know that Farro was a crook. In spite of that fact, she had presented him to Migâ€" non as an old friend of the family, Jed tried not to blame Moleen too much until he heard her side of the story. But he was deeply disâ€" appointed that she could be even the least dishonest or cowardly, i sn se . se o won n ol "There‘s a possibility," Lynne decided, in parting, "that Farro may have a hunch the trail is getâ€" ting warm.
