which hung over her?
Sam had a plan

as he stood wrapping up
- his customers shoes, old
Sam watched the tableau at the
rear of the shop His daughter and
- that BUM His only child, his
sweet Kitty, sitting there under
the light. with her glossy dark
head bent over the books she was
balancing for him, while Jake
Mosser leaned against the counter
and talked to her.
Jake Mosser. Jake The Gent
Mosser. Gangster, gunman, cock
of the walk in that section of the
Brooklyn waterfront. Jake the
lady killer This man, this blue
jowled, black-browed, expensively
dressed dandy lounging in the
back OF Sans Shoe Repair Parlor,
was bad fellow: dangerous, quiet
and sudden as a snake.
Jake The Gent killed mostly as
a matter OF business. II the bosses
who ruled the underworld wanted
some troublemaker put out of the
way. they sent for Jake. Everyone
knew this. But while the police
often arrested Jake, they invari-
ably let him 60 again for lack of
evidence. They couldn't seem to
catch him at his killing.

Kitty from Jake's sinister atten-

his mind where any pretty girl was
concerned. But you couldn't go TO
the cops on that account. You
couldn't 90 down to the station
house and tell the desk sergeant
that Jake The Gent Mosser was
planning to seduce your daughter.
The sergeant would only shake his
head and say he couldn't do any
thing. Or maybe he would say:

Kitty Was Afraid
Mssrossd BY Csofrsy Bisss

from some remark of Jake's. God
help my motheriess Kitty"
There was black hate in his
heart. But he gave no sign. His
fingers were steady as he finished
wrapping up Jake's shoes.
The shoes we're just an excuse
for Jake's visits to the shop. He'd
been coming in almost daily for
the past two weeks - ever since
the evil day when he'd first seen
Kitty coming out of a movie and
had followed her home. He hadn't
needed an excuse to speak to her
then, and he needed none now;
but it gave him perverse pleasure
to bring in his shoes to Sam.
Then. while Sam worked away
at his bench up near the window of
the shop, Jake The Gent would
slip back and talk to Kitty. Talk
low, in that soft, deadly voice of
his, saying things that made Kitty
cringe as if he had struck her.
OF course she could have stayed
upstairs in their little fiat over
the shop; but she had got 50 she
was afraid to be alone. Afraid
Jake would kidnap her.

out. Il got your shoes ready"
The old man did not expect the
gangster to pay any attention to
him; but to his surprise Jake
turned at once and walked toward
him. Jake walked the way he
talked - softly. Like one of those
big cats you see in the ZOO.

'Okay, MIR. Mosser." Sam said.

at old Sam and smiled. Il won't

Coffee RatiOning
To Start Next Week.

With all coffee sales frozen this
week in order to permit grocers to
replenish depleted stocks, sale of
coffee on rationed basis will start
after midnight Saturday.
Every person who now has book
of War Ration stamps, originally
issued for sugar, and is past Is
years of age may purchase coffee
next week.
For every person qualified by age,
stamp No. 27 in the Sugar Book"
is good for one pound of coffee.
Each subsequently authorized stamp
will be good for one pound of coffee
every five weeks thereafter.
If the grocer's employee makes de-
livery of the coffee itw ill be neces-
sary for him to detach the stamp
just the same as if the purchase is
made at the store.
For meals eaten at restaurants it
will not be necessary to present the
ration book as the rationing pro-
gram refers only to supplies for
home use purchased through the gro-
Gerry stores, it was explained.
