SAFE AND
SOUND
BY CHALLISS SILVAY
F AR BACK in the crowd which
filled the deep storeroom, Joe
Horgan — thirty-odd, undersized
and furtive—watched the auction
eer conduct the Western Ware
house Company’s annual sale of
unclaimed articles. 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!

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.
Since we cannot come in person, we take this means
of expressing our appreciation for your friendship
and good will and to sincerely wish that your
Holiday Season be a joyous one.
