Two years In the penitentiary hadn’t taken the plump ness from his body nor the color from his cheeks. The tint of silver about his temples was becoming, and the change from drab, loose fit ting prison gray to tailor - made banker’s gray gave him confidence. “I’ve got that new look. Pinky,” he said to the man who had been his cellmate during his first year of confinement. “Don’t get any new ideas, Joe,” Pinky said as he sat on the edge of the bed, “you better do like Cm doin’; go straight!” “Hogwash,” Joe laughed. “The cops have me figured as a counter feiter, but I’m giving up that angle. They’ll never suspect me of being a stickup man.” Pinky stood up. He was tall like Joe, but thin. "If you won’t take the Job I’ve got for you, Joe, then this is good-by.” Joe was thoughtful for a minute, then he said, “So you don’t know who is putting out that new batch of counterfeits, heh?” “I thought you said you were givin’ up counterfeiting,” Pinky snapped. “I am,” Joe assured him. “I guess it’s just professional Jeal ously to hear that someone else is putting out stuff that is almost per fect.” “All I know is that you’ve got to use a magnifying glass to find the flaws,” Pinky told him. “Let’s see,” Joe mused, “Batson is still up the river, Jaeger and Sims are in South America, Pete and Wil son have dropped out of sight and nobody knows where they’ve van ished to, and Barody stopped a bullet when the cops raided his plant. It just can’t be any of the old gang. Somebody new must have moved in.” Pinky shook his head and said, “You’ll learn that you can’t win on the wrong side of the fence, but I’m afraid it will be too late. Good-by, Joe.” Joe dismissed his former cellmate with a wave of his hand. Plans already were forming in his mind for the first holdup. News had drifted Into the prison that Lee Stanley was going places, and fast. Lee had been only a petty racketeer a few years back, and Joe never had liked him, but apparently Lee had found a way to become big-time. He was the new owner of the Roxy night club, and Joe knew it for a swanky place. Joe snapped his fingers. He knew the layout of the Roxy. It would be easy to get to Lee's office, and it would give him satisfaction to get hold of some of Lee’s profits. He went to the closet and found the hidden wall hole he had made before his arrest. The revolver and a box of cartridges were still there. They were about the only things the police hadn’t found. With a handkerchief and a piece of wire, Joe cleaned the barrel, then loaded the chamber In case he should have to use it. Then he turned to the window and looked outside. Sergeant Cain was on the comer leaning against • telegraph pole. Joe was annoyed, but not disheartened. The cops al ways put a man on you after you did a stretch up the river. And this was the same copper who had caught him with a pocketful of counterfeit bills two years before. It would be several hours before he would be able to go to the Roxy, so Joe decided to play with the detective before losing him. When Joe stepped out onto the pavement, he saw Sergeant Cain straighten up. He walked to a restaurant, and took his time order ing and eating, noticing that the sergeant was keeping a hungry eye on him outside the window. Joe then spent a couple of hours In a cheap movie, and was aware that Sergeant Cain was sitting only a few rows behind him. Then he decided It was time to give the detective the slip. He was followed from the theater, but kept his eyes open as he walked along the street. Suddenly he saw what he was waiting for, a cruising taxicab. With a quick movement he was Inside the cab and snapping orders to the driver. The taxi leaped forward, and Joe looked out of the rear window in time to see Sergeant Cain waving to a taxicab that was traveling in the opposite direction. Joe's taxi turned half a dozen corners before he was definitely satisfied that he had lost Sergeant Cain. Then he had the driver take him to within a half block of the Roxy. Joe worked his way cautiously to the back of the night club. He smiled when he saw the fire escape. It was the kind that needed weight to carry the bottom section down to the ground. Joe climbed a ralnspout and reached ont and grabbed the aide rail. As be rode the section to the ground, the rusty iron’s screech filled the night, and Joe stood still for a full minutes, wait ing to learn if anyone Inside had heard the sound. He decided finally that the other noises out in the street had drowned out the sound. He went up the steps until he reached a window which opened into a corridor. He forced the window without too much trou ble and climbed inside. Music was playing out on the dance floor and the sound of laugh ing voices penetrated the walls, but nothing stirred in the corridor. Joe tied a handkerchief over his mouth and nose, and pulled his hat down over his eyes. He glanced around to refresh his memory, and smiled. Apparently this was to be one of his lucky nights. He saw the light through the glass in the door of the room he sought, and shoved the door open. Startled, Lee Stanley looked up from behind a desk at the gun which Joe held in a steady hand. There was a stack of crisp, new twenty dollar bills on top of the desk. Disguising his voice, Joe said, “Be a good guy and don’t act up, or you’ll get hurt,” as he moved cat-like toward the desk. But he knew Lee was going to get hurt Working with precision, Joe’s left hand scooped up the money, and his right hand brought the gun barrel down across Lee,Stanley’s head. He jammed the twenties into his pockets and tiptoed to the door. With a quick glance he saw that no one had entered the corridor, then he ran to the window. There was no way of knowing how much money he had in his •pockets, but he felt sure that it was enough for him to leave the city and have a free and easy life for a few months. A half hour later, as Joe stepped into his room, he was chuckling to himself. He visioned Sergeant Cain hurrying about the city trying to pick up his trail. He switched on the lights, then froze. Sergeant Cain was leaning against the wall, toying with his Colt police positive. “What—what do you want?” Joe stammered. “The way you gave me the slip,” Sergeant Cain said, “I figured you were anxious to contact that new counterfeiting gang. Also figured the best place to pick you up was right here.” Joe relaxed and sat on the bed. He said, “I’m through with counter feiting.” At the same time he eased the gun from his hip pocket and deftly pushed it under the pillow. “How about if I see what you have in your pockets?” Sergeant Cain asked. Joe stood up and smiled. He had nothing to fear. The detective had no way of knowing where the money came from, and he felt sure that Lee Stanley wouldn’t report the holdup to the police. He didn’t know how Lee had become big-time, but he was sure his method wasn't honest, and he wouldn’t want the law poking into his business. Sergeant Cain found the twenty dollar bills and stepped back a safe distance from Joe. He took a small magnifying glass from his pocket and examined a twenty. Instead of giving the bills back to Joe, he stuffed them into his own pockets and said, “You sure work fast, Joe. Loaded with counterfeit money already. Come on, you’re going to headquarters.” “Counterfeits'.” Joe gasped. Thoughts began to race through his mind. So that was how Lee Stanley bad become big-time! He was using a printing press—and if Joe told the police where he got the money, his life wouldn’t be worth a dime. Sergeant Cain snapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. Joe looked at his tailored clothes and realized he was about to lose that new look. As he started to walk toward the door, he wondered If Pinky would keep that job open for him. for a couple of years? JalcAa tfoi JeSMA By NANCY PEPPER Trixie Teen Says-— Life for a teen not only has its ups and downs; it has its INS and OUTS. Being IN the smooth crowd and the big doings can make your four years of high school the “Best Years of Your Life.” Being OUT of them can make them seem like 40 years of solitary confinement. You don’t need a key to get IN; you need a good personality, a smooth appearance, a spirit of co operation — and, maybe, a little more aggressiveness than you’ve been able to muster up until now. Once you make the effort, you’ll see the results. Instead of eking out a day-to-day existence, you’ll be riding a date-to-date merry-go- round.

From Malachi To Christ Lesson for June 27, 1948 T HE inter-biblical period, cover ing approximately four cen turies, is one of the great silences of history, save as the prophecies of God offer Dicker ing light upon the winding paths in western Asia, north ern Africa and southern Europe. A remnant of Jews resided in Jersula- lem, whilst many others were dis persed about the face of the earth. The Old Testament was translated into Greek—the version used in the time of Christ The Talmud and the 14 books of the Apocrypha were written. The syna gogue arose. The schools of Hillel and Shammai were founded and nourished. The sects of the Phari sees and Sadducees originated. Bud dha. Confucius and Zoroaster were beginning to inDuence life in the Far East, while in the Near East Zeno and Epicurus dominated philo sophical thought The Caesars ruled the Mediterranean world. To understand something of this period from Malachi to Christ, we are asked to read the Scripture pas. sages listed above. • • • BEFORE JESUS CAME 41TJEHOLD, j w ni send my mei ■D senger, and he shall prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come In his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight In; behold he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.” Did they fully understand the significance of these great words of Malachi? Hardly may we expect that they did, but they got their basis of hope, about which we studied last Sunday. Imagine the faces of the little children in the long ago as they heard of the com ing Messenger! Dr. Newton THE COMING CHRIST L OOK carefully at the above Scriptures and see how both the Old and New Testaments center upon Christ. These great phrases are suggested: The promised Christ, the expected Christ, the heralding Christ, the pre sented Christ, the enlightening Christ, the judging Christ, the mer ciful Christ, the redeeming Christ, the restoring Christ, the guiding Christ. Space does not permit the cita tions, but a study of the passages will reveal each of these gifts and blessings in the coming Christ • . • BETWEEN THE TESTAMENTS D IMLY only do we envision that period of four centuries, but we have sufficient light to trace the steps by which the faithful amongst the Jews were cleansing themselves of idolatry as the fires of God purged away the dross of paganism and secularism. One will find rich reward in the reading of" the Apocry pha and Josephus. Also,, one will find in the opening chapters of the New Testament light which falls back upon those dark ages. There were synagogue schools, taught, in many instances by very able men, such as Hillel. There was a groping toward the light. Men were hungry for the fulfilment of prophecy. It was the darkness just before the dawn. * * • THE LIGHT BREAKS j i TYLiESSED be the Lord God of ■D Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,” Luke 1:68. Thus does the golden text for Sun day’s lesson Dash upon the waiting heart of expectant humanity the Good News. The fulness of God’s time had come. Jesus was bom. Peace had come to men of good will James Montgomery puts the Good News in these lovely lines: Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth, Ye, who sang creation's story, • Now proclaim Messiah’s birth-. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-bom King. * * • (Copyright by the International Council of Religious Education on behali at 40 Protestant denominations.
