word. He knows when he's licked
Supper hour comes, and Dan changes into
his street clothes in his little room behind the
managers Office He thinks maybe he'll re-
enlist in the Army; if he can't be cop thatn
be the next best thing, and he'll be at loose
ends from now on, what with not being able
to mess around in police work any more. He's
thinking such sad thoughts as he strolIs out
into the lobby. Then all of sudden he stops
thinking.
The reason for this is the two guys who
are standing at the box-ofice window. Dan
remembers them both from his pre-war days
when he's a plain-clothes cop. They're cou-
pie of smart stick-up boys who always work
together, and are known as Muggsy the Ray
and Ratty the Mug
