The “Poor Man’s Stork Club” was packed and Tim Kelly, the middle-aged proprietor, was having his usual hard time shoo-ing the patrons out of his tavern. He had a system, though, for Kelly wasn’t as dumb as he looked. He usually stopped intoxicants at 12:30 and then by 1 A.M., closed the cafe. Things weren’t working out just right though tonight. Kelly eyed the one young, good - looking stranger who wouldn’t budge but kept sitting on the bar stool sip ping his beer as though he had all the time in the world. He glanced back at Flo, his pretty young wife who was busy counting out the days receipts— quite a stack of money. Tim walked to the door and turned the key in the lock and glared at the irritating hanger-on. “Look, fellow, if you don’t feel like going home—go anyway,” he muttered. “For we do. My wife and I have had a busy day —we’re tired and it’s closing time.” The guy just sat there grin ning insolently at him and then over at Flo. Flo should have known better than to start counting the money while a stranger is here, Kelly thought. “Okay, old man,” the stranger murmured softly, but sharp and commanding, “this is a stick up! I want ALL the cash! Tell your pretty young wife to fork it over!” Kelly gasped. Flo didn't seem to know what was going on—she bent lower over the money as she counted. Kelly thought it odd and very frightening, here in the empty tavern, to be standing looking into the blue steel muz zle of a gun. “Give it to him, Flo,” Kelly quavered. “Sorry,” Flo replied without looking up, “we don’t serve any thing after closing hours.” Beads of perspiration poured down poor Kelly’s fat face. Of all the stupid women—young and beautiful, but DUMB! Thought Kelly. “Better tell your wife to stop horsin’ around and hand over the dough, or I’ll plug you!” the man barked, and Kelly knew he meant business. He looked like the kill er type—and one that had a way with women, too. Too d good looking and cold and calculating. “Give him the money, darn it!” Kelly shouted at Flo. “I’m looking at the other end of a * gun!” Flo looked up and took in the situation. She grinned wickedly at Kelly and at the holdup man. “Nope! He’ll have to shoot ME first if he wants this money!” she retorted. “You better scram. Mister or I’ll scream for help.” “You do and I’ll plug him!” the hold-up man threatened. Flo promptly screamed and the man fired at Kelly, but Kelly had ducked and then came up fast with a gun he kept underneath the bar—but the man, thinking the sound of the shot would bring the cops, ran for the door. Kelly went after him fast. “Flo,” he called over his shoulder, “call the cops!” The guy fumbled with the lock on the door and couldn’t get out. Kelly sprang on him from behind and bore him crashing to the floor and twisted his gun from his hand, and then beat him into sub missiveness. Suddenly, some thing warned Kelly, he whirled and ducked as a chair crashed down on the spot where he had been. Flo was standing there wild-eyed. -Then Kelly noticed how she looked down at the guy who was trying to get up'off the floor. He grinned at her sardonically. “I got the whole picture,” Kel ly said, “Git out—Both of you!” Dennis Rites Held Friday Z. Wright Dennis, 85, of Route 4, Newberry, died Thursday after noon at the Newberry County Me morial Hospital following an ill ness of several years.
