No. I've gone far enough,

Finelli snapped his glasa onto
the bar. "You're bluffing, big boy,
and Mogo Finelli don't bluff worth
a cent."
For a long moment the two men
stood eye to eye, the tall, thick
man with the black eyes and th
prison pallor, and the tall, thin
man with the gray eyes and the
ruddy tan. Then Johnnie shrugged.
"I hope you haven't planned to
leave Fuente Fria soon. Mr. Fi

"No." Johnnie shook his head,
smiling wanly. "You may not

the Rock was a tough nut to
crack, just try to get away from
fuente. Come on. Red."
The two men walked away. Fi
nelli and Jask Luff stood watch
ing them Jn silence. The little man
said finally: '
"Mogo, it was , a dumb idea.
Right from the first I told you you
couldn't get away with it. I told
you."
"Shut up!" Finelli snapped,
"Shut up or you'll get what mat
dame got! Bartender! Gimme an
other double Scotch."
Johnnie called Joe Soares from
the telephone at the end of the bar,
"Look, Joe.' Do you know a guest
here by the name of Mogo Fi
nelli?"
"Yes, sir. He was pointed out to
me right after he registered. It's
my business to know "
"Never mind that, Joe. Here's
the point. Mogo Finelli is not to
leave here until I give the word
Got it?"
"I got it, Johnnnie."
"Right now he's at the bar here
in the Casino. Put a man on htm,
Put three or four men on him,
And if be get's away, Joe, I'll see
that you go back to the section

Johnnie hung up and turned to
Munson. "Order me a glass of
miik, Red. I got to think."
The milk was ordered, along with
a Tequilla Sunrise for Red, and
Johnnie was still thinking and
growing more stooped and wor
ried by the minute.
Munson fidgeted, asked finally,
"Well, how do you dope it, Mr.
De Voe?"
Johnnie sipped his milk. "The
doping, Red, is easy. The tough
job is hanging it on him. See how
you like this: Finelli saw in the
paper that Ramage was beaded

probably been a doien different

Five minutes later Leland Ram

Mr. Munson here assured you when
you landed this afternoon that
your wishes would be respected.
And that goes double for me."
"Then"
"Mr. Ramage, after dinner this
evening you entertained a young
woman at your table. Her name
was Chiquita." i
The two men across the wide
mahogany desk were not slow.
They got the implication.
"WAS Chiquita!" the . chunky
Harry Smith said blankly.
"Her body was found half an
hour ago behind the Casino. She'd
been brutally murdered.
"Good heavens!" the tall Leland
Ramage gasped. "Think of think
of the notoriety if this gets out.
For me, I mean. Heavens! Think

Johnnie De Voe's good right fist

Leland Ramage looked at the
pilot. And that young man drawled
as he painstakingly lit a cigaret:
"Sr. seemed calm enough to me.

Munson snorted angrily."
