Big Jake takes little time to think it over
and finally he says, ''I'll be very glad to help.
But I'm too staunch citizen to accept any
reward. I'll rid our fair city of a goodly por-
ton of those -snatching gorillas just for
the heck of it."
DAN reaches across the table and squeezes
Big Jake's hand. Never do meet such a
white guy" he says There's just one thing
more. I'm supposed to operate on my own,
so maybe you could just sort of keep this
quiet"
by an odd coincidence" says Big Jake,
II was about to suggest the same thing Pm
the kind of guy who likes to do his good deeds
in the dark, especially like putting the finger
on some pretty tough mobsters."
So it's agreed Dan will pick up Big Jake
next day at Wuffenburger's restaurant They
start out at nine, cruising slowly In an hour
they get their first nibble.
It's funny how it happens. A yellow coupe
comes speeding toward them, and it whizzes
past so fast all Dan can notice is the guy who's
driving. But Big Jake let's out yell Turn
around and get him. he shouts

if he will tour around with him in his jallopy
for the next few days. They will drive slowly,
and when Big Jake's Photographic memory
spots the license of stolen car, he will sing
out and Dan will catch it and make the pinch
If Big Jake will do this, Dan says, Kitty1l

and most expensive hats in town. which will
make her very happy.
Dan is therefore ready to pay Big Jake any
reasonable amount for his time and trouble

kissing her at normal intervals, which he
always finds relaxing.
But this is not to be. Kitty is there on the
porch swing all right, but as soon as she sees
him she says, How many of those stolen car
licenses can you remember?'
Dan groans. Who's been telling you about
that?" he asks
Mona Turner, your friend Detective Marv
Decker's girl friend. She just left here. She
makes me tired, the way she brags about
Marv"
What do you care what -"
II care plenty! You'd think Marv Decker
was the only cop with good memory She
says he can reel off thirty of the stolen car
licenses without blinking an eye. When said
you'd memorized thirty-fve -
"How nsony?''
COULDN'T admit Marv was smarter than
you, could II" says Kitty. When said you'd
memorized thirty-hve, Mona laughed -
most unpleasantly. But We'll show herr
will we?" says Dan sadly.
And howl" says Kitty grimly. Il bet her
you'd bring in more stolen cars in the next
week than Marv. Whoever wins can pick out
any hat she wants at Madame Poupous Hat
Shoppe, which is not to be confused with
Woolworth's Have you studied your list?''
I'm little tired tonight -"
Hand over the list and I'll see what you
remember Kitty says; she has that tone in
her voice which means no more argument.
She turns on the porch light, and Dan
sweats it out again while Kitty checks on him.
This time he only hits on two numbers, and
Kittys' in no mood to have her hand held.
GO home and study" she tells Dan. And
don't 60 to bed until you've memorized at
least ten. I'm not buying any hat for Mona
Turner. especially not Poupou at forty
smackers."
He tries hard that night and when he drops
off to sleep he has nightmares about figure
eight doing waltz with figure three. When
he wakes up in the morning he's about as
fresh as piece of lettuce in picnic sandwich,
which is no way to start off the kind of day
he has ahead of him .
He is one of the plain-clothes cops with
rowing assignment to circulate and see if he
can spot any stolen cars. The parked ones
are easy, because he can take out his list and
check on them But it seems that guys who
snatch cars don't like to leave them around
cluttering up the public streets And the cars
that whizz past Dan leave him dizzy. If he
memories the first two numerals of a passing
license, he forgets the last two and vice versa;
if he does get all four straight it is no good
either, because by now he can't remember a
single license on the whole stolen list.
He PUTS in trying day, and it doesn't help
to get back to headquarters and learn Marv
has brought in stolen blue convertible and
a hijacked two-ton truck. This would cut
the list to fifty-eight, except that six more
cars are reported snatched during the day;
so things are worse than before.

head downtown, and before long they
spot the coupe caught in a traffic jam
From then on it s easy. The guy behind
the wheel hasn't got drivers license,
and he carries gun. So they phone
headquarters. and pretty soon the
wagon comes to take the guy away.
The traffic cop says he'll take in the
coupe, so Dan can get back to work.
HE FINDS Big Jake loafing in front of
the tavern, pulling happily on cigar.
While I'm passing the time here, l
spot another one for you." says Big
Jake. "A red station-wagon. You'll find
it parked in that alley down the street.
The guy who was driving turned in
there and then went into that bar and
grill at the next corner, where you II no
doubt find him dawdling over his beer"
Two in one morning" cries Dan.
What memory"
He is little rat-faced guy" says
Big Jake. The gangster type"
Dan hurries away and finds the red
station-wagon. Sure enough, its license
is on his list Then he finds the rat
faced guy drinking beer, just as Big
Jake says. This guy is packing two
rods, and after Dan has the bartender
phone in to headquarters, he puts Rat
Face in the phone booth for safekeep-
ing while he waits. The sergeant who
comes to put the bracelets on Rat
Face gives Dan an admiring look.
You are doing all right" he says.
