Killed In HoId-Up

That's the way I feel about
my dad" said the Peacemaker.
Hes been dead now going on
four years. But somehow it
doesn't seem like he's dead.
It seems like he's gone some
where. and he may come back.
Know what I mean?"
Sure" said Joe. It know
what you mean. How did he
die, SOM"
He was killed." he said
slowly. Killed by a stickup
guy. Dad was a grocer, see2
And he made a mistake. He
didn't get his hands up quick
enough. The holdup let him
have it. Two shots. Right
here" He pointed to his
heart. "It finished dad"
Gee" said Joe. That's
YEAH" said the Peacemaker.
"But it's gonna be tougher
when I meet up with the guy
that did it. I'll get him-some
day. I've promised myself over
and over that I'd meet him."
And what will you do then?"
asked Joe.
The eyes changed again.
They smiled.
Nov you got me-" said the
Kid. Frankly, I don't know.
Probably nothing, I guess. I'm
built that way. I hate trou-
BILE Of any kind. I always feel
that life is too short to waste
fighting. Know what I mean?"
Sure" said Joe. Il know
what you mean"
The Peacemaker and Joe
Monti had many talk after
that. They got along like pals.
It was the talk. of the prison
that Joe Monti was actually
reforming and would take up
crocheting any day now.
But Joe got into trouble now
and then. There would be
slight arguments during the
recess periods sometimes, and
Joe would brood over it at
night in his cell.
Then the Peacemaker would
start talking to him.

Listen" he'd say. What
have I always told you, Joe?

Liked to Battle

Liked to Battle
Not that he was ever caught.
He was usually in a bank after
closing time when he was
caught. But he was tough. He
never seemed happier than
when he was in a battle.
Cellmates usually lasted about
a month with Joe, And prison
attaches predicted that the war
den was crazy to put a young
kid like the Peacemaker Ill
with him. But the kid fooled
them all.
Joe took a liking to him
right away. He was getting old
and The Kid was young. And
Joe assumed sort of fatherly
air with the boy.
One night, shortly after they
started to share hunks, Joe sat
on the edge of his lower berth
and talked.
"What're in for, boy?" he
asked.
"Stickup." said the Peace
maker. Il was with some
friends. I didn't know what
they were gonna do. But that's
no alibi. I got 10 years"
That's too bad" said Joe.
"It's tough on kid like you to
be cooped up in a place like
this. Mel don't mind. I've
been in stir before. But you're
just a baby"
He paused for a moment.
Then he spoke again.
Funny thing" he mused. Il
used to have a youngster like
you. He had the same kind
of eyes you got, and his hair
was like yours, only wavy. I
don't know where he is now.
I haven't seen him in years"
That's too bad" the Peace
maker said.
YEAH" said Joe. Its too
bad"

fight and don't worry. Life is
too short to waste fighting.
C'mon. Buck up"
Somehow those few words
worked wonders. Somehow Joe
would brighten up after thSt.
Somehow he believed the Kids
philosophy that Life is too
short"
And largely through the
change effected in Joe, the
parole board found that his
prison record was good and
that his term could be short
eted l8 months. The Peace
maker was so happy when he
heard the news that he tried
to do a handspring in the cell
and almost fractured his skull.
But the biggest thrill of all
came when the warden told
The Kid that he would be
freed on the same day as Joe
Monti. The Peacemaker i'm
mediately started to lay plans
about where they would go and
what they would do.
And Joe Monti smiled from
ear to ear.
It was a bright morning. that
day. They walked into the
warden's office and he handed
each of them a few dollars,
which the State allows. Then
he gave them envelopes with
their stickpinS, coins and
watches in them.
They walked all the way to
the railroad station for no rea-
son other than to sense the
freedom of it. When they got
there they walked inside and
asked the station master when
the next train would leave for
New York.
Eleven forty-three," the sta
ton master said. Its an ex-
press"
Joe smiled and dug for his
watch. He glanced at it.
"Thatll be in II minutes.
Kiddo. Then we're off for the
big burg"
The Peacemaker said moth
ing. He was staring at Joe
Months watch. His eyes looked
dazed. Then they narrowed
into tiny Sits and his lips ex-
pressed as though he was in
pain.
Heart Attack Fatal
Like a tiger. he plunged for
Joe's throat. His fin gers
stretched around the neck and
frightened. Joe made a gurgling
sound and tried to push The
Kid away. His eyes popped
from his head.
The Peacemaker screamed
Historically.
THAT watch! That watch!
You murderer! It's my fathers.
you dirty louise! You killed
him! You killed my Dad!"
The station master ran for
help. Joe was stronger than The
Kid, but that grip was like steel.
When they finally pried the
Peacemaker's hands from Joe's
throat, the eyes were still star
ing.
The doctor testified at the trial
that a heart attack had has
tened the death. And. despite
the story of the watch. the
Peacemaker was sentenced to 20
years at hard labor.
They don't call him the
Peacemaker now. He's Sullen
and silent most of the time. He
refuses to be friendly with any
body. And they don't call him
The Kid either. For he's not
a kid any longer. Years Of prison
life have aged him a lot.
Funny thing, though. He feels
happy that he killed Joe for
numbering his father. What he
doesn't know is that getting that
watch was one Of the few hon.
est things Joe Monti ever did.
He had bought it in a cheap
pawnshop!

Grain Market

CHICAGO, January 16 CP.-Set-
backs in grain values early today ac-
companied doWnturns of New York
securities and wheat at Liverpool
Weakness of the Liverpool market was
ascribed to hedging pressure from Aus
tralia. Opening unchanged to p cent
lower, Chicago wheat futures afterWard
sagged all around. Corn started un-
changed to q off and continued to re-
cede.
Later, a sharp rally in wheat resulted
from scarcity of offerings Bears had
asserted the outstanding obstacle to
price recovery was persistent meager-
ness of export demand for wheat from
North America. 1t was added that this
condition seemed likely to continue ow-
ing to cheaper prices from competitors,
especially Argentina and Australia. An
acknowledged Offset, however, was that
should an unfavorable crop outlook de-
velop, it would quickly alter sentiment
the world over.
Reports that half-inch of ice had
formed on the ground in parts of Kan
SaS attracted notice as an adverse fac
tor and caused better buying. There
were also advices that in many parts
of Russia an ice crust had formed and
was causing anxiety about Winter
crops. One of the largest brokerage
houses here stated that January tenn
perature, the highest ever known, had
left domestic wheat susceptible to dam
age if temperatures dropped to low
levels, and caught plants without ade-
quate snow protection. Corn and oats
rallied with wheat despite cheaper
prices In Chicago.
Provisions responded to a decrease in
stocks in lard here.
