The cop paused. glancing from one
newspaperman to the other. They
didn't say anything.

knock over the old lady - he's the
guy that's coming up on this burglary
indictment.

WRONG WAY STREET
That was where Red started - and here's
the vivid story of what he ran into

layout to Joe and Eddie and Jimmie
when they finally went to work.
However, the director spotted him
again and took him under his wing,
not knowing what snake he was cud-
ding. This time he sold Red on try
ing his hand at some basketball, and
the kid had such a swell time that
night that he forgot why he had come.
In fact, he kept coming back for more
and pretty soon he was playing for
ward on the ninety-pound team and
giving the high-scoring man run for
his money.
During the next few months Red
tried to sell his other three pals on
joining the club, but they'd have none
of that sissy stuff, so he busted away
from them, much to their contempt.

you?
"I'll give you a Boys Club story
that even you won't think is sissy -
and it's not out of any press agents

He jerked his head over his shoul-
der toward the courtroom. "I'm ap-
pearing as the arresting officer in this
burglary case" he said. But that's
the end of the story - let's go back
to the beginning.

-Four Tough Kids

wENTY years ago four tough kids
used to hang out around 18th and
Mission Streets. And one November
night when they met after supper,
Eddie. the ringleader. was all popped
up about knocking over an old lady
who lived alone in a fiat nearby and
was supposed to have lot of dough
hidden away.
Two of the other kids, Joe and
Red, didn't go for the idea of pushing
old ladies around. And the evenings
prospects seemed kind of blank until
Jimmie comes up with the idea of go
ing down to the lockers at the play
ground and frisking the clothes of the
guys playing basketball.
That thought went over big be-
cause they'd gotten nice little haul
that way few months before, so off
they started.
while the other three went to work
in the locker room, Jimmie stood look
out outside And they'd no more than
started going through the pants pock-
cts when he burst in on them yelling,
'Scram, the director"
They ducked, with the director
after them. and outside they knew
enough to scatter in all directions,
leaving the director with only one he
could follow. That one was Red be-
cause his hair made him too conspicu
Gus to lose.
But Red was no dope, either; he
cut around the corner and across the
street through the traffic. Then he
caught glimpse of the Boys Club
sign and ducked inside, figuring he'd
lose himself among the other kids in
there - which he did.
"Scrooching down in a chair while
he got his wind back, he was startled
a few minutes later when the Boys
Club director. spotting strange face,
comes over and says, 'Hullo.' At first
Red just looks at him.

They went their way; he went his,
taking calisthenics in the gym class,

and so forth, and gives him an apph-
cation to fill out.
II don't know why maybe the
mans manner got under his hide or
something - but Red not only filled
out the blank but actually gave his
right name to a stranger for the first
time in his life.
That fash of softness soon wore
off, however, and after Red got safely
outside again, he couldn't help but
think what swell pickings there'd be
in that place for his mob of pants
friskers.

take lots of time to make, plan

Fruits and nuts can be cut and

Store the cake or pudding in a
