This was an annual New Year’s Day event, and always drew a crowd. Phoning his married sister, Marie, earlier that morning had been a case of sheer luck, Joe reflected as he lit a crumpled cigarette. Otherwise, it would have been too late to recover the box. Of course, he hadn’t gotten his hands on it yet but no one was likely to bid much for such an unimportant-looking article. Jeez, what a close shave! It had been almost a year since he and Red Farnum had stuck up the Pacific Trust and Savings’ Oakdale branch for $1500. They had made a perfect getaway, hur riedly separating with the tacit understanding to meet at Butcfa Cooper’s that night and split th« grab. Decision And then Joe had suddenly de cided to take it on the lam. Hadn’t Red held out Joe’s share from the blow-down they’d pulled at Ala meda? Joe watched the auctioneer conduct the annual sale. Joe had immediately suckered Red into a spot. “Look, Red, the take was an even grand,” he had lied. “Somethin’ tells me we bet ter stick it on ice.” “Like in a bank, huh?” Red had sneered. “Stop clowning and shell out my cut.” “Here? Don’t be a dope. Now listen, I got a great idea.” Where upon Joe had revealed his scheme to stow the loot away in a con tainer which, together with cer tain odds and ends, he would pack in a tin box and store at Western Warehouse under Joe’s sister’s name. Joe would make the neces sary payments and when the time was ripe he would withdraw the box and split with Red. Reluc tantly, Farnum agreed. On the Lam The next day Joe delivered the box to the warehouse, and prompt ly skipped town. Three months later Joe, now leg man for Slappy Damato, Chicago racketeer, had mailed Marie, who was com pletely unaware of her brother’s shady operations, the money to pay the quarterly storage dues. His letter explained that he had stored some personal effects un der her name so as to facilitate shipping arrangements should he’ need the things later. In due time Marie had acknowledged his re mittance and written that some man had been ringing up regu larly asking for Joe. (What a belly-laugh that was—Red sniffing around for his cut!) And then one hectic day the following week Damato was nab bed by government operatives, and Joe had hopped the first Coast-bound Limited. Arrived in Sacramento, he had impulsively caUed his sister tt say that he would drop out and pick up the warehouse receipts she had failed to forward to him. “Gosh, Joe,” said Marie, “I used the storage money to help on household expenses. I intended to pay but—” Just in Time “Two I’m offered . . . Once. Twice.” The auctioneer gave the box a brief glance, swung his gavel, and barked “Sold!” What a steal! thought Joe: 1500 slugs, safe and sound in exchange for a mere deueer! Twenty minutes later he had locked himself in a room at the Hotel Fremont. He pried open the box. First came a sweater, a few books and a shirt; these were fol lowed by some old ties and a black hat. And then from its nest of wadded paper came the tin box. Joe prepared to fit a key into the lock. But at the mere touch the lid opened. A stricken Joe stared at the ivnlls of crumpled newspaper *hich tightly packed the box. On top was a crudely scrawled note. With sick eyes, Joe read: you louse I only worked at Western Warehouse a w r eek but it was long enough. Have a Unhappy New Year! Red Twelve Grapes Twelve grapes are a part of the gay Spanish New Year's Eve celebration that takes place in the Puerta del Sol, Madrid’s Times Square. As the clock strikes mid night the grapes are held high overhead and eaten for luck—one for each month of the year. holiday calls are a vital part of CHRISTMAS and across the land folks hurry on these pleasant errands.
