CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE Sing’s villainous eyes peering from out the mass of whiskers filled Cavanaugh with a desire to explode with laughter. “Don’t put those eyes on me that way. Slug—l ean’t stand it!” he cried, struggling to keep from roaring. “You look like a bilious possum!” Slug growled in his whiskers. “Quit your kidding, Lucky. Want the cops to recognize you and pick us up?” This wisdom was too obvious to be ignored. Cavanaugh removed his coat and knotted the red handkerchief around his neck. The perfection of the disguise lay jn its simplicity. “I figured I might find you at her house,” said Slug. “Ever since Poletzki started gunning for you I’ve been sitting on a hot stove. You know it was him that blasted the Santos dame, don’t you?” "Certainly I know it,” said Cavanaugh. “If the dumb cops hadn’t grabbed you up I know you would have taken care of the bohunk yourself,” went on Slug. “Matter of fact, I had a notion to soften his skull myself last night, but I thought maybe I ought to talk to you first.” '“Forget that idea,” Cavanaugh told him firmly. “A dead Poletzki won’t do me any good. I owe him to Mulrooney. That Kruger job doesn’t matter but I’ve got to clear my name about Annette Santos.” Cavanaugh was not thinking of clearing his name or protecting his life as major obligations. The main job was to deliver Poletzki to Mulrooney in exchange for Mulrooney’s silence about Leni Luneska. With Mulrooney satisfied the other thing wouldn’t matter so much. “You ought to be able to beat that Santos rap easily.” said Slug “Ought to, yes, but they can make it tough for me if they want a goat,” said Cavanaugh. “Mulrooney knows I didn’t kill that girl. They’ve plenty of witnesses that heard the shot come from outside my apartment Some of them saw a man climbing down the fire escape. It was bad enough to have the girl killed in my apartment without being arrested for murdering her.” Cavanaugh felt better after unburdening himself. He was not complaining, merely stating facts. “You certainly got plenty against Poletzki alright,” said Slug judicially. "A guy like that don’t deserve no consideration.” They were driving down Santa Monica boulevard toward the neighborhood of the Paramount Studio. In this locality there would be any number of men similarly garbed, and the chances were a thousand to one against recognition. Until they decided what to do, the vicinity of a major studio was safe territory In the midst of his whiskers, Slug struggled with an ethical problem. “I know exactly how you feel,” he said thoughtfully. "Poletzki ought to be ventilated, but it’s an unpleasant job. I mean, it’s unpleasant for a man like you. Me. I don’t mind it so much.” “No—that’s the dumb way," said Cavanaugh decisively. “I never thought I’d see the day when I'd turn anybody over to the coppers, but Poletzki’s got it coming.” Slug’s voice became troubled. “Myself. I’d rather give him the business.” Slug had worked on only one job with Poletzki and—since the man had tried to kill Cavanaugh -he no longer had any standing as a pal.

I rehearsal before leaving September 2 for Indianapolis to play at the state fair He will return to Bloomington on September 8 to enroll in the Medical School at Lie university as a freshman. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Engeler, daughter Katheryn and son Bob are spending a few days at the world's fair in Chicago. Miss Mary Grace Zimmerman has returned from Chicago, where she was the house guest of Miss [ Margaret Dyer, a former school I mate, and attended the world's ■ fair. Invitations have been received by | Slieriff Burl Johnson and Chief of Police Sepli Melclii to attend the national convention of the National Fraternal Order of Police Offi cers at Gary, nert week. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Arnold entertained as their Friday evening guests the latter's cousin, Chester Hower of Griffith, and Mis? Lucille Biddle of this city, anil also the week-end guests, Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Beeler and son Richard of Bloomington, Miss Joyce Beeler i and Mrs. Sarah Arnold of Bluffton. Word has been received from I Jauk Johnson of Decatur, who is

io f;' BWII'LH JBH-; Ks Slug’s voice became troubled. "Myself, I’d rather give him the business.”

The bond between Slug and Cavanaugh, according to any code, automatically put Slug whole-heartedly on the young gambler’s side. “Another thing we’ve got to consider,” Cavanaugh went on, “is to keep from involving you and the other boys. I’m not going to do anything that will get you in wrong, Slug. If anybody gives Poletzki the rod, then the Santos murder remains a mystery." It was a mystery beyond Slug’s ability to solve. “As far as Poletzki’s two partners are concerned—they screwed out of town already,” Slug said. “They’re practically strangers to me, and 1 don’t think Poletzki knew ’em very well neither. You needn’t worry about them. Far as I’m concerned. I’ll be okay. I can take it on the lam myself if it will help you any.” There was something ridiculous about the man. but Cavanaugh was touched. Slug, beyond doubt, was a public enemy but he had the virtue named loyalty, at least. “You’re a swell guy. Slug,” said Cavanaugh with sincerity. They were both thinking the same thing. It was going to be up to Cavanaugh alone to deal with Poletzki. . . . Cavanaugh knew that he would have to tighten his brain and squeeze out an inspiration. The problem that confronted him was a matter of intelligence. He did not want to kill Poletzki. He had not even wanted to punch Mulrooney on the chin. Os his own accord, "Lucky Cavanaugh was the best-natured fellow in the world, but there was now a tightening in his nerves that told him the time was at hand to get ready for action. “If you say the word I'll take the whole proposition off your hands and settle it myself,” said Slug. They were still driving around aimlessly They had passed several policeman, but the battered car with its two costumed characters

failed to bring the bat of an eye from the officers. “You’ve done plenty for me already,” said Cavanaugh. “Where is this fellow Poletzki staying?” Slug turned the car into Vine street and drove along casually towards Sunset Boulevard. “The three of 'em had an apartment on Western Avenue. Poletzki is still staying there. He never gets up before noon because he don’t like to go out in the day time. Not even for meals. He’s a guy that don’t eat much. You know, he’s always full of junk. All the same, you’ve got to be careful when you ram into him. He’s as nervous as a cat and he handles himself pretty good.” His eyes peered at Cavanaugh’s face—and saw the grim and earnest set of the young gambler’s jaw. “That’s swell,” said Cavanaugh. , “Now I want you to take me down there. Slug, and drop me off. After , you do that I want you to back out of the whole business and stay out—for your own protection.” 1 Cavanaugh, despite his seriousness, found it difficult to keep a > sober look and gaze upon his bei whiskered and plaid-shirted accomi plice. Unless he controlled himself, a sudden fit of mirth at Slug’s I ridiculous appearance would upset | him. Cavanaugh’s sense of humor was a treacherous weakness capai ble of throwing him into pealing ■ laughter at the most solemn mo- . merits. “Whatever you say goes with i me,” said Slug. “But I better stick ■ along—just in case.” , “It’s my party,” said Cavanaugh ■ amiably, “and you’re not invited, > pal. You better get out of town • and fix up an alibi on that safe business. How you fixed for . money?” • “More than 1 need,” returned I Slug. Cavanaugh said nothing further I to him. From now on it was, indeed. Lucky’s exclusive party. (To Be Continued) Copyright. 193 Z by Robert Terry Shannon ' Distributed by King Feature* Syndicates Inc.
