and broke into a dead run.
, Dawson had almost reached
Seventh Avenue. a few doors
from the Cafe Castillo when
Hawkins overlook him. HAWKING
put out his big, powerful hand
and grasped Dawson's shoulder:
SECT your hands on me-"
shouted Dawson, who was BREATH
ing heavily from the exertiOn Of
his run. "'What is this, anyhow
a mugging?" Fully, as g tall -
Hawkins and almost as solid, he
knocked the hand from his
shoulder.
'Don't play dumb" Hawkins
said calmly. "You know you'd
just love to tip of your racket
pals about those raids-but I'm
not letting you" @' 9
"Okay, okay," said Dawson, as
though he were unwilling to
argue the point. He, dropped his
hands for q moment, appearing
to be thoroughly Modified. But
as Hawkins drew q step nearer.
Dawson's right fist clenehed
quickly, and shot upward in "A
driving uppercut that caught
Hawkins of balance. He head
snapped back as if it were
fastened by a rubber band, and
he staggered backward. ~ ,-r&<
'Why, YOU double = crossing

when he recovered from : the
force Of the blow. Dawson, had
attempted to run, but Hawkins
foot shot out, tripping him and
spilling him to the sidewalk. ~;
In another moment, the two
men were a tangle of failing
arms and: legs as they wrestlea
around the sidewalk, raining
blows on each other. -
Hawkins was on the bottom,
his lip split and bleeding, as
Dawson hammered blows paerci-
lessly into his face: Fighting to
remain conscious, Hawkins dou-
bled up his legs and hooked his
heels against Dawson's stomach.
With one mighty thrust, he
hurled Dawson into the air. He
landed, sprawling and out Of
breath, fiat on his back on the
sidewalk. When he got up, Haw-
kins Clipped him with a left TO

Hawkins commented. "All we've

a story as though she were un-
conscious of the impending event
"There's girl for you! She's

you couldn't prove it by looking

From time to time, she looked
casually at the police ticker near

another brief report. She watched
it anxiously for a moment and

from the city desk.
Dawson, scoWling and silent,
returned to his desk in the next
five minutes. He called the head
quarters reporter. When he had
obtained enough facts for a story,
he hung up and called the photo
desk.
"Pretty good fire in the Bronx"
he told the photo editor. "Gas
tank on fire. You got a photog-
rapher to send on it," He listened
for a moment, and swore vio-
lently. mo photographer on
duty?" he echoed sourly. what
kind of a lousy Office is this? It's
your funeral, dope, if the oppo-
sition gets all the pictures!"
Still muttering to himself, he
began to type out a bulletin on
the fire. He had just finished
when he looked up in time to see
Rod Clegg, one of the staff pho
tographers, heading for the ele-
vators with camera box Slung
over his shoulder.
"Say, what is this?" he ex-
claimed furiously. "That photo
guy said he didn't have photog-
rapher!"
LIE ran out into the hallway,
L and Jean saw him talking
angrily with Clegg, who was at
tempting to placate him. His
protests became so vehement that
Clegg finally shouted:
saw, shut up! can't cover
your fire; I've been assigned to
cover two of the best raids of the
year-the cops are hitting the
Castillo and the Biarritz!"
Jean saw Dawson demanding
further details, which Clegg gave
reluctantly. Then. as Clegg en-
tered the waiting elevator, Jean
saw Dawson stand in the hall
and ring for the next car.
She called Hawkins on the
inter office phone Immediately.
Dawson knows about the
raids" she told him. "And he's
just leaving the building to tip
off the gamblers"
Good lord!" Hawkins ex-
claimed. Don't worry, Jean. I'm
on my way after him right now"
He had just reached Sixth

DRINKS and a garbage collection
