the only one know. Besides, you
owe me ten grand and where the
hell tire you ever goin' to get sten
grand to pay me with? Are you
goin' to WEIGH on the debt and be

So Danny took the job.
The finger man" had found out
that the young banker spent three
hours afer dinner at his bank
every night. He always came
straight home from the bank and
was turning into his driveway at
lO:45. Danny and two other gang
sters "snatched" him there. They
stuck a gun in his ribs, pulled a
bag over his head, pushed him out
of his own car and into theirs and
drove him sixty miles to a deserted
shack where Hymie was waiting.
When they got him out there,
they pushed him into the room
where Hymie was and started to
take off the bag. The first thing
Danny saw as the bag was re-
moved was an american Legion
button on the bankers lapel and
quick stab of regret hit him.
But. as the bag came all the, way
off. Danny's regret turned to an
guish. The banker was the young
captain who had saved his life in
that trench over in France.
IF John Henson was afraid. ne

pulled large round ball of metal
from his pocket. He opened the
door and came barging in, paying
no attention to the four guns that
stared menacingly at his head and
body. And he walked to the table
and stood here. The four were
afraid to shoot. They weren't
sure that the cops weren't around
him. otherwise, a guy would be
crazy to do trick like this. But
Danny was crazy.
Look, you mugs" he said cas-
ually. II got this all thought out.
I owed that fellow my life. He
saved 1t in France. l gave it to
him Just now. Now I owe Hymie
here ten grand. And, Hymie,
haven't got chance of ever payin'
you. So I'm going to put all of us
where we won't ever need money
again. Go ahead and shoot, Hy-
ME. You got the first shot COM

but as he folded up, he lifted the
hand which held the pineapple"
and dropped it to the floor. The
floor changed into a brilliant sheet
of flame and the five of them into
bits of torn flesh and blood.
The cops, arriving within an
hour, looked over the shambles.
'God!" said one of them. "It looks
like a war. AS the French say.
'C'est la guerre. NJ
But it wasn't war at all. 1t
was Just the payment of debt.
THE END.

raised his finger toward his
mouth for silence. Be it said to
John Henson's credit, he got the
idea Immediately.
DANNY WAS A
CREATURE OF IMPULSE
Danny was a creature of Inn
pulse. He took Hymie aside and
told him that they couldn't go
through with the job because this
guy was a good guy. But Hymie
only laughed at him. What the
hell was the matter with Danny,
he wanted to know. Was he going
to throw two hundred grand away
because this fellow was a good
guy? Sure he was good guy but
he had to pay or get killed. He'd
have him write his first letter to
his wife Immediately.
John Henson wrote the letter
but the Henson family didn't
shower down Immediately. They
did lot of talking through code
advertisement and Hymie got I'M
patient and scared.
"I'1l give the babies two days
to see reason" he announced on
the tenth day after Henson's cap
utre. IF they don't come
through, I'm goin' to bump this
fellow off.
He's gettin' too dangerous to
have around.

tracks and in the company OF
blonde jeze bells.
| And then along came repeal and
the consequent defiation of the
booze racket. And at the point OF
greatest defiation, Danny owed
Hymie $4,000 and had not the
wherewithal to pay it.
Hymie, himself, felt the pinch
of the depression. Booze had
completely disappeared as a source
! of revenue and the rackets lost
their mcconnell bearing by 30 per
cent. Hymie owed it to himself
and his position to find something
else that would enable him to live
easy. Naturally, eventually and
inevitably, his eyes turned to kid
mapping, snatch racket"
Hymie wouldn't, as he told his
pallies often and scornfully, touch
the snatch racket with a ten-foot
pole only the pressure got too
great. He found himself, like
Danny, broke and with no way but
the snatch racket TO recoup his
fortunes. So he turned to his
home town and searched him out
victim.

1t took him a month of leasing"
to find likely one but he found
him at last and immediately
picked four of his men to do the
job. One of these, "the finger

matter Danny was the other one.
Danny didn't like it at all when
Hymie first preached the PROPOSE
ton.

like the snatch. It's lousy way
to make a pot. (You will notice
here that he didn't mention the
element of danger. 1t never &C.
Cured to him. What you do
when you snach guy is put the
fear into women and kids and
don't believe in it,"
Listen. Danny" Hymie argued
gently. "It's true that we got to
put the fear into this guys wife
and kid and also his old man. But
it won't be for long. This guys
a banker And he's smart and he
won't squawk. The whole job will
be finished and we'll have two
hundred grand in our kick in ten
days"

Listen, Danny" Hymie argued.

LINES FROM SALUTE TO THE TREES"
Good Evening.

Many tree is found in the wood
And every tree for it's use is good;
Some for the strength of the gnarled root
Some for the sweetness of flower or fruit;
Some for shelter against the storm,
And some to keep the heart-stone warm r.
Some for the roof, and some for the beam,
And some for boat to breast the stream:
In the wealth of the wood since the world began
The trees have offered their gifts to man.
