Serialised by HARRY LEE,

THE STORY SO FAR: Miss Minnie willed her brownstone house, its con- tents, including the four ancient boarders, to Maggle Ryan the cook, and North Taylor the maid. The new owners insisted on keeping the payless guests in spite of hard times. Maugle's beautiful, hard-boiled, torch-sing- Ang daughter, Sarah Jane, comes home after losing her job and beating up the bors, Norah's son Tommy, after being away for five years, has been plano-player in a tough joint and gun-toter for the proprietor, Grasselli. When the place is ralded, Grassclli snatches the gun from Tommy, wounds a man, and by threatening Tommy with pinning the blame on him, prac- as his tically forces Tommy to let him use his mother's boarding house hideaway. Sarah Jane suspects the strange roomer, and Ands that she ins known. Tommy resents her tulking with Grasselli, Sarah Jane lauds Tommy's songs and wins back his old love for her.

The old house was still echoing to applause, when the door-bell rang.
