There i* no question but what the drop In traffic death* is due in a large measure to driving restrictions. Also. most people are payiug a great deal more attention to coueerving their tire*. Speed burns up rubber. Tbe reduction of opeed not only conserve* tire* but reduces accident*. Since •peed i* one of the dominating factors la our traffic toil, it i* natural that with redwt tionw in speed •» well a* in travel, the toll of traffic deaths should be tua ter tally lowered. Does this not point u> the fact that when wartime restrict ions, are eliminated we should continue to drive at a safe and *an<> speed? Should we not develop habit* now that will make it unnecessary for •tats legislatures to enact law* with greater restriction* on the moor Ist in rhe prat war era?

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN "Thu is the operator at 1216. Mr. Martinelli's apartment just put through a call to Columbus 9-0203." “Is that all?” asked Argus Steele. "Yes, sir." "Did you overhear any of the conversation?" "I heard a party ask to speak to Mr. Martinelli and some one said he wasn't there. Then I had to put through a eall for another party and they’d hung up." “Thanks,” said Argua. “Let me know if there are any more calls, incoming or outgoing, and try to get all the conversation." “Yea, air." Argus waited nearly thirty minutes but there were no further calls. Ho put on his hat and coat, gave an order to Butch to call him at the Twinkle Club if Ellen should phone, and left The Twinkle Club was just east of Broadway. Life sire pictures of aemi-nude entertainers were framed above the entranee. As the doorman greeted him he heard the strains of a rhumba orchestra coming from the grotto at the foot of the stain. A blonde in a white fox evening wrap was waiting for him. “Bello, Mabel I" Argus smiled as he checked his hat and coat “You’re tight on time!" Mabel beamed. “I hope Dancer wont mind my dote* thing, my own way,” sac aate. A headwaiter led them to a floor tabic. Heads turned to watch them ■■ they passed. . "You look like a million!" Argus declared when they wore seated. “Yeah? And just aa hard to Bbtokfr ** ©OUtcd Thas rigstrnw*. tive tried to smile and look as if be hadnl heard the bromide before. He helped her out of her wrap. Bhe wearing a white satin evening gown that set off her curvaceous figure to good advantage. Argus ordered a couple of cocktails. “Did you give Dancer my message?” he asked casually. “Sure," said Mabel. “He said as aeon aa yea turned over the stuff to me, he’d let your girl friend go.” “11l hand it ever when Mies CurMe is returned to her home. Not before." “That may take a little time." “Irate all right with me ee long ae he does it Yea haven’t aay other piano Jor the evening, have “No—bat—" Mabel Mt her Up. “But what?" Argua asked. “Are you trying to toil aw you didn't phone Dancer?" Mahal looked startled. "I phoned him all right.” “But h« wasn't there. Is that ft?" “You win. Ho wasn’t there. I told Ace—that’s cam of hto saawwhat you said." “And—" The eecktaila arrived. "He said he'd tail him. 1 gotta cal) him back in aa hour.” “Deal yea know where yea can roach Dancer acre diroctiy and give him the mseeago?" “Nm.” Mabel frowned.

“You know," pressed Argus, “Dancer’s really going to get into trouble if be continues to pull stunts like this." The detective beckoned to a waiter. “Bring a phone over to this table," he said. The waiter went off. "What’s Uw big idea?" Mabel asked. "Great invention being able to phone front your table without moving, isn't it? I thought you might call Ace back and hurry him up a bit. In case you've forgotten the number, I have it right here." lie flshed in his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper. "It’s Columbus 9-0203." Mabel smiled in admiration. “For a dick,” she declared, "you ain’t so dumb." “Coming from you, my dear, I consider that a great compliment." Argus drained his cocktail. The waiter returned with the phone and plugged it into a wall-socket an a nearby pillar. Argus handed the instrument to Mabel. She looked at him curiously and dialled the number. The detective ordered another round of cocktails, dinner and a bottle of champagne. He smoked as Mabel talked over the phone. "11l eall you back,” she said finally and hung up. “Ace can't reach Dancer just now,” she told Argus. “But he’s supposed to call Ace in half an hour.” “Good! Well keep the phone right here." Argus set it to one side. "Who thought up this bright idea of kidnaping my girl? You said it wasn’t Dancer's or yours.” "Listen, pal, 1 don’t tell everything I know.” "Oh. 1 see. It couldn’t have been Mr. William Carstairs, could it?” “I said I ain't talking. 1 wouldn't of even told you 1 knew about your girl, except that 1 don’t like a In an hour they had finished dinner and a quart of champagne. Argus ordered ano. >er. Mabel made another phone call. She was beginning to on limber. “Ace says Dancer says okay,” she told Argua. “Hell tell the boys to let her go but she won’t be home for a eouplo of hours. He says I gotta stick with you—or else!” “Two hours!" Argue consulted hie watch. "ThatH be 11 :M." Mabel was not a brilliant conversationalist and Argue couldn’t dance because of his wounded shoulder, so about the only way to paw the time was to drink. They had squeesed the last drop from the third quart of champagne when Mabel get the hiccoughs and an urge to sing. “1 used to be on the stage," she said. “I gotta good soprsnner voish.” “I’M bet you hpve!" beamed Ar gun. Mabel demonstrated with a few ban. People turned to store. Detective I teeie glanced at his watch again. It was just 11:30. He called EBee’s home but she had not returned. He gathered up Mabel's *”£k’s go to my plans." ba said yea can stag fag me. | don’t think w»Ye approbated here."
