The best place to find a mate

Avoid gallivanting around. Spend

It’s a good idea to marry when

WHAT HAB HAPPENED

big right years' service. On the morn-
»/ designated to» Ai« raise, he comes

at her desk when she notices, from a
*<■ ies photo, that Jones looks exactly
Uke Killer Mannion, escaped convict,
gangster and murderer, for whom
there is a $25,000 reward offered.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
The likenegx wax indeed startling
So much so i tiiat Arthur couldn’t
unite realize he wasn't Killer Man-
nion H«* wax to realize it very well
—and soon enough. AT lunch rime,
he .sat in the restaurant scanning
the picture and reading every little
item concerning Mnnnion. One «»f
the other customers, too. was read-
ing the newspaper. He looked
once then again, at Jones Then
hack to the newspaper The cus-
tomer’s hair did everything but
stand on end.
Just when this discovery had
caused said customer to. figurative-
ly. lose some ten years of his life.
Miss Clark walked in and over to
Jones table
’’Mind if I sit with you?”
“Mind? Of course. Jones didn't
mind My goodness' Meanwhile,
other customers were noting that
surely here was Killer Mannion sit-
ting in this very restaurant.
Bill lit a cigarette. “I’ve been
canned and I feel like celebrating.”
“Canned”* Jones was shocked.
And he d*4n't

Jones sighed with relief 'That's

“What's the , idea of dragging me
down here without an explanation
of any sort? I’m a busy man. and

his eyes widened. Why—why. It’s

stinctively he backed away.
In another office, Detective Boyle
worked on Bill. It was a first-class
grilling. Nothing but the best for
the moll of a killer.
“What do you wanta stick to a

lived sixty-two days without eat-
inp. Then he took litfht meals three i
days and died.
The family of the tenant farmer
raid Guerra had read in a book
of a man who survived a sixtv-five-
day fast and decid«>d to exceed the
i Yecord.
“Yep- Aired — ozoned — walking
papers—fired—discharged.’
People were beginning to leave
the restaurant—hurriedly. Jones,
completely unaware that he was
sensational, was unperturbed except
by Bill's predicament
“But that isn’t fail 1 came in
late this morning, too."
Bill wgs skeptical. "Quit your
kidding
"Yes, I did. honestly. About half
an hour. And J G. had given orders
to fire the first person who came in
late—sh it should’ve been me I'll
take it up with Scavtr right after
lunch."
* “You’ll do nothing of the sort,'
said Bill firmly.
The frightened customer had
gained enough of his wits to sneak
quietly into the telephone booth to
summon Police Headquarters. The
order went through Headquarters
like a spear-head through butter:
“Rush it! It’s Mannion"
By now. the conversation had
turned to travel. It usually either
turns to travel or the weather or a
sale on gowns, if the con versa -
ikmsllito are women. Hut Jones,
was saving stamps of all manner
and shape, so In this round-about
fashion did travel intrigue him.
Travel was to Bill something more
than postage stamps. Airplanes
Boats. Kiddy cars. Anything that
could CO. That could get places
Jones had Just gotten to an in-
teresting anecdote about a Shanghai
stamp, when he was rudely Inter-
rupted by a very officious voice.

Detective Howe actually breezed
Into t ii«* room. He pulled Boyle

happening. The two detectives talked
in low tones for a moment, then
Bovle made his way hack to Bill.
"Well, baby, >t might interest von

“No!”

Boyle.

“Yep—Mannion."
They brought Buggs Martin In

for Buggs was very afraid of Mr.
Mannion. He had no taste whatso-
ever for Mr. Mannion. But when
he naw Jones surrounded by police
and with very little likelihood of his

“Hello. Mannion.”
"My name is Jones, " shouted
Jones.
“1 guess mine is Mickey Mouse.”
Buggs' courage was mounting. “So
you broke out to get me. huh?
Sorry to disappoint you. Mannion.
but you haven't got a chance now.
You're sunk You’ll burn for this,
and I know a lotta guys ain’t gonna

two long fingers with Intent of
shoving them Into Jones’ eyes.

continued to grill Bill.
“Now. about that First National

“Mannion did It.” answered Bill.
“And the Evanston Job?"
“Mannion.”
“And the Express Company Jok

“Mannion.”
