We had to coax him quiet." “So would anybody with a crowd of pirates piling into him without ( a word of warning.” ' “That’s what we are trying to explain, mister. The boys thought you was who you wasn't, and still did until they read all about it in* the ‘Star-Bulletin’.” “Thanks to Bill Grandon! got what he wanted—the thrilling' ed- climax to his big yarn. As for me, • I’ve been beaten up and put in a hospital—”Jerry's croak was alarming. The] spokesman twirled his hat around i and round -agitatedly, then, pitched it on the bed, “We can promise you compensa­ tion,” he hazarded, “If I cared to accept money ev­ ery time the authorities tried to salve their alleged conscience I should be doing well!" “Don't you wapt nothing?” Only to know that Tony is thor­ oughly and completely behind bars, with the proviso that several thous­ and miles separates us perman­ ently,” “Then there’s no call to worry.’ “Good! It certainly is comfort­ ing to know that the British police have the situation well ip hand.” “Well, er, that isn’t the whole of it. We want^him over here more than your people do,” “Didn’t I understand that he’d prefer' an American prison to an English one? More opportunities for personal comfort, apd perhaps a bigger chance of ultimate free­ dom?” ■ “Not this time, mister. Leave that to us. We’ve got a big score up against that bozo.” , ■ Jerry didn’t know enough about Initernational legal intricacies to continue the discussion, though he recollected Superintendent Glewthers saying that extradition papers would be unavailing until English offenc­ es has been ’ expiated. “There’s one thing I would like, if it can be ar­ ranged/’ he said. “Something by way of dessert/’ “Anything you say goes.” “Very well, promise that official eyes will be closed while I take one good sock at Grandon.” The deputation grinned in uni­ son, It’ll be a pleasure to oblige, and we’-d like to be there with our eyes wide open.” “Talking about me?” Bill Gran- don’s Unannounced appearance was greeted with threatening scowls. “Guess you ain’t well enough to take that poke yourself,” one of the officers remarked, placing himself rock-like to bar the exit. >“Let me do it for you. If it don’t satisfy, you can always have another go forj yourself later.” • Grandon smartly placed a wheel­ ed ward-table between himself and the inimical deputation. "You’d better get out of here as quickly as possible,” Jerry advis­ ed. “And don’t forget I’m saving YOU up for myself. One of these tine days we’re due for a heart-to- hieart talk.” "Me go? Not on your sweet life! ; I’M a newshound, , I am. And you’re "news. All the lot of you, Right from the moment the Star- Bulletin splashed ‘British Playboy K.O.’d in Stand Up with New York Oops’.” “Playboy be damned!” Jerry snorted. “And don’t call us cops In print/’ snafled the senior officer. “It wasn’t me. Blame the desk men. They polished up the stuff. I said Jerry was a prominent so­ cialite,. and spoke of "dicks* and 'flatties’” The deputation stiffened omin­ ously, “That was a dirty trick you played," Jerry complained. “Aren’t,, I telling you I only gave the outline of the story?” “You know what I mean. When the police arrived you knew per­ fectly well 'Who I really was.” “Was than any reason to spoil a good splash story? No sir, I’ll say it wasn’t. Remember how I told you the proper wind-up would be a good grilling? That’s where I was wrong. Romance is the note that’s lacking. Must have a lady in the ease to make it good and handsome. Lingering kiss in up. Leave it to little Bill.” “Get out of here!” “You ‘want me to scram?" “That’s what I said in English.” “He sure did,” the police cap­ tain explained iiatiently. “Go lose yourself.” “Nothing doing! Give break!” “I'll give you a smash kisser if you’ll come close He’ and get out from behind that darn —darned—-” Crandon grinned. “Come don’t know what ” he observed, mighty, useful.

Only you don’t know how.they start­ ed squealing on each other. There was so. much hot stuff that the British cops were changing their minds about granting extradition.” “I’m wise to that, too, growled the police captain. “Guess you are and all! But have you heard that they had the two gangs parked in the same court house waiting for the judge?”1 “It would be a magistrate,” ry corrected. “What’s the odds? Might as have been a queen bee. Seems there was a rare buzz-buzz. A free for all. Not the whole force of cops in London couldn’t have held Dago and his mob when they clapped eyes on the Montelli pair.” “What happened then?” “Couldn’t have panned out better so far as Tony and Slim Annie were concerned. While the fun was at its height and a good time being had by all they Up and went and beat it. Last thing Dago expected and he’ll be feeling mighty sore.” Jerry wilted.

'Hang it, if a man isn’t allowed to be himself without getting into trouble I don’t know what the world is coming to/’ “Hold hard,” Mulhoney said soothingly. “Things aren’t as bad as they seem.

"Yes I did." Eiise, not content to cool her heels in the reception room any longer, made a suitably drama­ tic entrance. The police deputation was al­ ready filing gracefully out, but the reporter fetill lingered, avid for the fullest development of the story. "Oh well, perhaps yoii’re right/’ he muttered. His remark was brought about by the romantic scene which pan­ dered to his sense of fitness.
