There he'd be, standing outside the grating and tolling it to Marty.
 WHY DON'T YOU
 SQUEAL, DUMB SAP?"
 Well, sap," he'd grin. There you are behind the lattice work. And here's me outside lookin' in at you. Why didn't you turn me up, you dumb chuck? Why didn't you tell the Law that it was me that was with you the night you stuck up that shoe store?
 And Marty'd grin back at him and then say anxiously:
 Flows Effie, Eddie? Jeez, you mean to say you didn't go and see her like 1 asst you? Hey, Eddie. have a heart! Go and see her. Tell her I'm fine, and not to worry about me. Tell her to take good care of herself, you know, l told you she ain't so well. Do that, Ed die, will you? I'd do as much for you, if you was in a tough spot and ast me to go see your wife!"
 Not my wife, you wouldn't! Eddie would laugh. Because l don't want to be tied to no broad. No with swell ones runnin' around loose. But sure I'll look Fife up. I'll tell her to come on up and look at you"
 And the next week, there'd be Fife, so frail and beautiful and with that bad cold" of hers, talk ing to him through the grating and trying to keep from looking into his eyes. And why wouldn't she be up there when Eddie, her lover, had ordered her to come up and see the husband she was double crossing? And why wouldn't she try to avoid his eyes, doing what she was to him? And he never knew, the poor sap. Marty shud- dered at the memory of 1t and took another drink.
 Even when Eddie got jolt for a stick-up and came up to prison Marty was glad and sorry. He was sorry that Eddie got caught. But he was, glad to have him with him. Weren't they pals? But Eddie was .cocky.
 "Lisen, sap," he say. You don't think I'm goin' to finish this stretch do you? I'm no sap. I'm going to scram. I got it all fixed. Friends on the outside. And God help anybody that tries to stop me-"
 Marty believed him because Ed- die was real tough guy. And Marty only hoped that Keeper Jer- erniah Wilson wouldn't be the one that tried to stop Eddie when he was escaping. Because Jeremiah Wilson was swell man, even though he was screw.
 "CRIME DON'T PAY,
 MARTY" HE SAID.
 "Crime don't pay, Marty" he'd say. And I hope you never go back to 1t when you get out of here. You're too good Q buy, Mar ty. You'd be a swell citizen if you'd only let yourself"
 And the day Marty finished his jolt and was ready to go, Jeremiah called him aside and said:
 Listen, Kid. Remember what l
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-01

So three bulls in plain clothes went with Marty to the deserted house. And Eddie let Marty in. And the three bulls crashed in be- hind him. Eddie reached for his gun. Marty thought of what Jere- miah Wilson had said:
 Don't you kill. If you do, you'll hang. Remember. God takes care of those little things. Let Him do it."
 So he shot Eddie through his gun arm and the cops brought him in.
 Marty felt swell when they picked up Fife. Eddie, the rat, squealed on her, as Marty knew he would.
 But now, Marty thought, sitting there alone in his room. he didn't feel so good after all. He felt lousy. He was lonely. He missed Fife. God, he loved her! So he took an other drink. And got up and looked long at her picture. He raised the bottle to pour again and found he'd emptied it. He had finished a whole quart. And then he fell down on the floor. Out. Which was just as well. Liquors a terrible thing. But, sometimes, 1t ain't so bad. Il let's a guy forget things.

 For one day, Fife came to him and told him that Eddie had sent for him. She'd gone instead and he'd told her he wanted Marty to help him get out of the state. He was hiding in deserted house on the edge of town.

WHEN THE SLIP GETS BY
Good Evening.

The typographical error is slippery thing and sly, You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow will get by. Till the forms are off the presses, it is strange how still it keeps; It shrinks down into corner and it never stirs or peeps, That typographical error too small for human eyes, Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size. The boss he stares with horror, then he grabs hair and groans; The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans- The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be, But that typographical error is the only thing you see.

Army officers who want their
dependents transported at Gov

the Government know, when they
are assigned to a new station,
just how many dependents they
have, where they are, and whether
any more are going to be trans
ported at a later date. This tip
to the Army appeared in a rul-

Incidentally, the ruling held
that such dependents should
travel by the most direct and
shortest generally Travelled route.
