DON’T RIDE ‘A FLAT. DON’T FOLLOW CLOSE; AVOID ACCI- DENTS. KEEP THE GARAGE’ AVERAGE UP. Jigger loitered, waiting for his cab to be serviced. Pop Lynch stuck close by, talking a blue streak. Kornbloom sidled up and asked Pop, “How’s the street? Tips, gyps, and overcharges?” Kornbloom wore a police medal for valor. Two gunmen running from a payroll job had comman- deered his cab. Fright or reckless- ness had made Kornbloom run his cab through the plateglass win- dow of a Fifty-ninth Street drug- store. Kornbloom survived twen- ty blood transfusions. Pop was ‘complacent. “Not ‘bad. Kornbloom. The whole town’s cab crazy. I been.clocking four pounds and better,,a night for over a month steady. Hacking’s big busi- ness.” ‘ Jiggen’ kept’:mum. Fares had become an irrelevance since the night Littke Joey caught bis at- tention by talking big dough. Kornbloom had nothing better to say so he said it. He said it ostensibly to Pop, looking side- wise at Jigger: “What stumps me is why Jigger hacks. The way things are picking up Jigger could be rolling in dough: 1 gotta nephew flush outa high school al- ready doing better than stventy- five bucks in a advertising house.” Jigger watched a Negro ham- mer out a dent in the rear fender “ horns listened, ape cases ardened br Ww. steady boat for over a year. Jigger read his wrist watch. “How much longer on 068?” “About fifteen minutes.” “Can’t it wait? I’m in a hurry to pull out.” The hammering’ slowed down, stopped. “Look, hackie, I’m fol- lowin’ orders. All you guys is the same. Why don’t you ever think of the next man?” Jigger held out four-bits. “Now will you rush 068?” The Negro went amuck with the hammer. N ONK the dispatcher yelled iV Jigger’s name. Jigger saun- tered up to the dispatcher’s win- dow. Monk had been a third-rate boxer in his youth and talked like a man anxious to pick a fight. “Jigger, your week’s average smells. You booked under fifty and the garage average is over seventy. You sure you're puttin’ all the dough on the meter?” Jigger took the last bite of his sandwich and Monk went on, “Low dough — plenty mileage. What do you do anyhow? Take your relatives to the beach free on the company?” Monk had stuck his neck out and the assembled boys were wit- ness. Monk went the whole hog as a strictly climactic improvisa- tion he had compelled upon him- self: “Why don’t you take a couple of days off, Jigger, and get your bearings? We're runnin’ a business here. Not a home for the crippled.” Jigger sought matter-of-fact: me off, Monk?” “That’s the size of it. Maybe a rest will put the lead back in your pencil. You can pull out again Friday.” Monk bellowed, “Pop Lynch!” Pop ambled up to the window. “You can pull 068 out today. ’m sending your cab upstairs for a carbon and valve job.” Pop looked sheepishly over to Jigger and went to get into 068. Jigger went to get his topcoat out of the steel locker. Monk went on dispatching. enlightenment, “You knocking of 068. Cab 068 had been his a Property Sale | Roy M.

ARRIVES | | FOR AIR CIRCUS Jigger shouted across the ga- rage to Pop, “Will you drop me at Times Square?” Pop yelled back, “Sure!” and stepped on the starter. The starter whirred and the motor started up berg Pop racing it to warm it up ast. 2 A loud explosion tore the air, filling it with flame and smoke. Pop was blown through the door of 068. ~ . Jigger went to Pop while Monk yelled into the mouthpiece of the telephone for an ambulance. Pop had been instantly killed, a look of tortured shock frozen on his face. ys ambulance came and with it a staccato procession of police cars, The next two hours were a bedlam of inquiries, notes, laments, questions, speculation, The Bomb Squad went to work with machines. The Alien Squad hung around and looked foxy. Monk kept saying vengefully, “This is Chowderhead Cohen’s work. Cohen’s been connivin’ to tie a kite to this garage for two years now. Ever since he tried to wae in but got turned down. igger knew differently, but kept discreetly ‘silent. Someone with a sense of the dramatic had tried to dispatch him once and for all. The 068 had been as much a part of his daily itinerary as his toothbrush. The bomb touched off by the starter cable was gangland at its most facetious—an innova- tion begun in the Chicago news- paper wars of two decades. ago, the roistering days when Pop Lynch was young and lean of cheek and just starting out on a hack. 3 It was two hours before Jigger struck out for Times Square on foot. The last act was furnished by Mrs. Pop Lynch, violently thrashing with two relatives flanking her and pinioning both condemning Pop for his death. “I told Pop to give up cabbing. All the old fool had to do was Sit on a rocker and read his paper. The old foo]! The old fool! He had no right to come to such an end!” i (To be continued) oe A “PEACE PLATE” FOR TODAY Save Wheat!
