TOday's True

And yet he was not without

Limpy listened to their lurid

nence since the ability to make
q quick getaway is one Of the
requisites Of underworld sue

So he lived as he could, sleep

the gang gathered, doing odd
jobs and taking what didn't
belong to him whenever Op-
portunity offered. The rest of
them, including Hardboiled
Larry, didn't pay much atten-
tion to him; they had tried him
out, foresaw that he might be
useful and allowed him to shine
In the reflected Light Of their
dubious glory.
Limpy was hobbling along
the waterfront one cold Janu-
