THE NEW LOOK
By WILLIAM CUTHBERT
J OE KAUFMAN stood in front of
the mirror. 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?

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!

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.

Preacher's Task
No religious doctrine has any re
demptive power until it is trans
lated into the terms of a specific
situation or an actual problem. It
becomes the task of the Christian
preacher in this generation to do
the translating. The question, “What
would Jesua do?” is always with
him.
