'HEY had called him Night- Blooming Jimmy in Berger's mob. Any one could see the guy was nutty about flowers. Al- ways some sort of decoration in his buttonhole. A car- nation sometimes, maybe a simple Shasta daisy when things weren't so good—Jimmy Lane got only a small percentage of the “take.” Night - Blooming Jimmy wasn’t wearing a flower now. He had been for three years where flowers don’t grow and a forgiv- ing state had not furnished decora- tions with the new suft he was wearing. He fumbled nervously with the ash- tray on the stained tablecloth and looked furtively over his shoulder through the r:urk of tobacco smoke. ‘The pink-shaded lights of the all-night restaurant touched his pallld cheeks with color, strengthened the weak lines about his mouth, seemed to light wide, troubled eyes with a dim and hopeful glow. Different were the eyes of the girl across the table. Night-black in a mask of craven ivory slashed with li stick. Narrow eyes. closely guarded. holding in their lusterless depths an occasional stealthy movement as of some alert and hunted animal peering from ambush. “I didn’t expect to see nobody I knew here,” he confided. “I gotta watch my step. You know, I been-—in a jam.” “I read about it in the papers,” she nodded, “but I didn't connect the name. You were mixed up with that Berger bunch.” “Yeah., An'I took the rap. I been a sucker, Joie. The stuff we got taught 1s right—it don't pay.” . “Goin’ straight, Jimmy?” The black eyes were cold and flat. ‘“Berger wouldn't like that—knowin’ all you do.” “What's it got to do with him? I done his work an’ I paid for it. I'm goin’ to work where I left off. Workin’ honest an’ sleepin’ peaceful. It's a break for me, gettin’ out a day early. Even Berger don’t know my home town. Once I get aboard that train they ain’t nobody can put the finger on me.” “You forget me, Jimmy.” “You?” He looked startled for a breath, then grinned. ‘“Sure. But you're not in his racket.” “Me!” She flicked a contemptuous cigarette ash on the tiled floor. “I wouldn't wipe my feet on Berger. I told you I was modeling.” “An’ you look swell, t0o.” He leaned across the table, boyishly eager. “I'm goin’ back, Josle. My own folks. They don’t know nothin’ about me.” “What about Berger?” “Oh!” He dismissed that with a ges- He snarled in sudden panic, Mrs. Arthur Hyde Buell, Mrs. T. Edgar Aud, Mrs. Allen H. Kirk, Mrs. Rulsell A.

Look! You can get | & job easy. They'll be takin’ on wait- | resses at the Moun- tain House for the Summer, an’ when I get goin’ good in | the old man's busi- | ness——" | “Don’t be a sap!” She laughed harshly and stood up, wrapping the black coat about her slim figure. | Outside in the roar of a receding “L” train a sedan with lowered win- | dow slid smoothly | into action and crept after her close to the eurb, | Berger was waiting for her in a | darkened doorway and the grip of his fat hand bit into her wrist. “Everything set?” She jerked her head toward the | creeping car that had stopped watch- | fully 20 feet away. “They're walting for me to give them | | the high-sign. Three of Logan’s guns | | from Pittsburgh. You dont know | them. He's handfng it because you | wanted to be in the clear. That all right?” “Okay. Il be waiting around the corner. An’ you better move fast when you get him set. I know them nervous triggers. Sure about Lane?” Her blood-red nails were busy at the talisman rose on her coat. “Look yourself if you want to. He's waiting for me inside. Same fellow you pointed out to me in Grand Cen- tral.” “Well, what are you waitin’ for—a couple of newsreel photographers? Lead him out.” “Don’t get the steam up, old dear. There’s lots of time. He’s all hopped up about getting home. Goin’ straight, he says. Talks about the green mead- ows and a lot of sap about flowers. Know anything about flowers, Louie?” He swung toward her, heavily men- acing. “Are you going to do your stuff?” “In & minute. I'm trying to get a picture straight ” She was looking past his bulk at the crouching sedan, be- yond that into infinity. In the black depths of her eyes the hunted thing stirred restlessly. “He's an awful sap, of course. So am 1. Flowers and picture books and miles of goofy meadows walting peaceful. Ain’t that & laugh?
