When Gloria Brown regained
g‘ow, she was lying back
in arms—his dear, safe,
comfortable arms, just like she
had wished to be doing when
she thought she was dying. His
arms were like cushioned steel as

couch In the back room of the fruit |

doormman at the Splendide Apart

as he finished tying up the ban

been afraid of because she had
thought he was Lofty Gordon,

okay, fella. Her shoulder’s

Where was the little gray man,
Lofty Gordon? Gloria looked
around Tony’s little sitting room
fearfully, but there was no sign
of his terrible person. They must
have taken him away.
She turned, looking up at Mil
tiades, suddenly realizing: “Dar
ling, you're not in jail!”
“Lie down.” Miltiades pushed
der anxiously back on the couch,
explaining: “I sold the lieutenant

“Feeling better, Mulligan?” His
tone .was friendly. and he.moved
slightly to hide the stretcher which

“I_can’t belfeve that she killed
Sal,” Gloria daid. “It-must have
been that ratty -husband of hers.”
Lieutenant. McGann shook his
head: reluctantly.” “I think 'Benny
told ‘the truth,” he said. “We found
Mrs. Benoni’s ‘fingerprints on
Sal’s lacquerea fingernails. Sal
wasn't in the water very long.
There wasn't any water in her
lungs. She might not even have
been dead when you first noticed
her.”
Gloria sat up excitedly. “But
if Mrs. Benoni had been there
on the beach I'd have seen her
and recognized her!”
“Bathing suits and caps make
people look different,” he said,
“It's pretty unlikely that you
would recognize her, since you
-weren’t as well acquainted as we
thought as first.” He grinned. “She
probably got away and beat it to
a car, but fast. You see, she was
deathly afraid that Sal would tell
Lofty Gordon what she alone
know.”
“What did she know?” Gloria
asked. “Don’t keep me waiting!”
“She knew that the Benonis had
discovered the secret of the em
erald necklace.”
“It had green eyes,” Gloria shiv
ered. “Evil, green, leopard eyes.”
“She’s feverish,” Miltiades wor=-
ried. “I'd better take her home,
lieutenant.”
“Hush, darling,” said Gloria;
“I'll run a fever of 102 if I don't
find out exactly what happened.
Give, Lieutenant McGann. Give
from the beginning!”
“I'll make a bargain,” said the
lieutenant. “I'll go home with you
and tell you there.”

Gloria didn’t want to, but it
was two against one. Very
soon, she was in the police lim

settled back in the living room,
with Gloria made comfortable on
the divan, with her feet on one end
and her head at the.other and
with Miltiades beside her, just
like he had mpeen 1n the living
room at Tony’s. Hansen, who had
come along, sat across the room.
“Now,” said Gloria. “Give, Lieu
tenant.” :
The lieutenant nodded. He lit
a cigar and sipped his coffee. Mil
tiades took Gloria’s hand, but she
did not notice, for her eyes were
glued on the police lieutenant’s
round face,
“It’s this way, Mulligan,” he be
gan. “Lofty belonged to the Be
noni gang until he switched to the
dope racket. Benoni was scared
of 'this, so Jack the Cork
was delegated to sing—that means
inform, in case you don’t know—to
the federal dicks. As a result,
Lefty got five years in stir.”
Naturally that didn't make him
love either Benny or Jack the
Cork, said Gloria. “I guessed
that much. And also I figured out
that when Lofty was released
early for good conduct, he went
after Jack the Cork.”
“We figured that out too,” Lieu
tenant McGann grinned, “but we
didn’t think Lofty would risk go
ig back to jail quite so soon.
That’'s why he caught us napping
when he stabbed the Cork. Han
sen didn't get to the Splendide un
til after the first murder.”
“Lofty Gordon was a terrible
person,” Gloria said.
“And a smart one,” said Lieu
tenant McGann.
“Go on,” said Gloria. “I can’t
wait.”
XxXlv
Lieutenant McGann took an
other sip of coffee before he re
sumed the explanations.
‘Why did they nickname that
horrible little man ‘Lofty’?” Glor
ia asked, still holding Miltiades’
hand.
“ For the same reason that you
call a big man ‘Tiny.” Because he
was small,” the Ilieutenant ex
plained.
“All the time I thought he was
Hansen, because Hansen was tall,”
Gloria said, glancing at Hansen
who smiled proudly. -
“We cloudn’t disillusion you be
cause Hansen-—you knew him as
Reupen, the doorman—was too
valuaable to us. He’d wormed his
way into the Benoni gang without
their knowing he was a federal
officer.”,
“A federal officer!” Gloria
blushed. She hadn’t been very
bright. That was why Hansen—
Reuben—had been following her
tonight. He thought the pie might
have heroin in it, or«~that Gloria
was carrying heroin around. May
be he thought Gloria was another
Sal! Probably it had been Han
sen’'s badge that had made Ella
Mae, the beauty operator, scream.
Ella Mae looked pretty shady her
self.
But Gloria consoled herself in
the thought that both she and
Hansen had mixed things up as
throughly as the ingredients for
a pie, yet somehow they had come
out right. The whole recipe
emerged as something to be proud
of. It just went to show what
Gloria had suspected, that a real
cook didn’t follow the rules in the
cookbook, but tasted, experiment
ed for herself . . . as Gloria had
experimented with death while
Lofty held his gun on her.
She murmured, “Why did Lofty
follow me around so? She un
clasped Miltiades hand.
“He suspected that you knew
either where the necklace was or
where the Benonis were hiding,”
Lieutenant McGann pointed out
“And he was afraid you'd learn—
well, look.”
He drew his hankerchief from
his pocket, unfolded it carefully
and the necklace lying there
looked like a stage prop or some
thing the Medicis might have
worn, with its massive setting, its
enormous green stones.
The lieutenant pushed at the
clasp, which was as big as a pill
box, and something white and
powdery fell into hi§ hand.
“Heroin,” he. said grimly.
“There’s room to store the stuff
under every gem.”
“You mean Alida Strong, the
stage star—"” Gloria gasped, but
McGann shook his head.
“We don’t know yet, frankly.
Maybe Sal just used the necklace
for a hiding place, safé because it
was so improbable, and she always
had access to her sister’s dressing
room.”
He put the necklace carefully
away and Gloria was glad to see
the end of the evil thing that had
cost so many lives.
The lieutenant murmured, “Of
course it was Sal who jettisoned
dope into your sugar jar at Jones’
Beach. She saw Hansen and got
scared.”
i # &
“Suppose we'd eaten some of it!”
Gloria shivered. “It’s a good thing
you got arrested, Miltiades, so the

the Brodklyn Police, let me know,”
McGann was saying. ;
Hinsen spoke now for the first
time: “Just one thifig, Mrs. Brown,
What was that poem you shot
Lofty Gordon with? It wasn't in
my McGuffey reader.”
“It was from ‘The Frogs,’” Glo
ria told him. “Aristophanes wrote
it about 400 B. C. It’s my favorite
Greek drama.”
“It ought to run on Broadway,”
said Hansen. “It’s still got what it
takes. And so have you, Mrs.
Brown.”

“The next thing, they’ll be want-"
ing you in the F. 8.1.,” Miltiades
told Gloria bitterly. “It’s easy to
see who wears the pants in this
family. I take a niee safe room
in jail while you knock off a pub
lic enemy.”
“They also serve who only stand
and want out,” Gloria giggled, her
dimple going through its custo
mary stunt in the corner of her
mouth, Suddenly she tenmsed, be
gan to scream and flung herself
frantically - into her husband’s
arms. McGann whirled nervously,
expecting at least to see that Lofty
Gordon had broken out of the
jail hospital.
“A mouse!” Gloria shrieked. “In
the corner.”
“Quiet, foolish. He won't hurt
you,” Miltiades’ soothed, holding
her tightly and quite masterfully.
Why, she was actually shaking. -
Lieutenant McGann saw and |
marveled. She had torn Brooklyn i
apart with her soft little hands to
have her husband, thrown a pie
at a gangster and quoted Greel: at
a killer. Now she was yelling her !
head off over a mouse! i
Gloria quieted down, lifted her |
head from her husband’s shoulder
and winked at the lieutenant ke
fore she settled down again on the
divan.’ |
“The little spalpeen!” Lieuten-l
ant McGann chuckled to himself.
“She’ll lead him a merry.chase‘
and he’ll love it. I always heard
that Boston was the Athens of !
Anmerica,vjbfiut there aren’t many
girls smart enough to cover up
when their braing are showing,
like Mulligan.”
Probably the Greexs had a name
for her.
