He was addressing an apologetic -jut over twice his size with the ir of a father admonishing his ion. Ko, Beano. If It was honest I'd kelp you. Ten years I booked your dullness and never , made a penny rore than 2S per cent out of you. "Three times when you were with M I fixed it for you. Three times thimpion of the world, and the drtuitj I got you brought you owe than you ever had to pay out lo be champion." , The other man fiddled with his dttby. "I know, Benny, you was a pal to me all through." "A pal," exclaimed Benny. "And whit did I get for it? The Maxo outfit offered to put you back in the wrestling game for a 15 per cat cut and where are you now? You got the blame and they got it dough. All washed up, and tm you come to Benny to help joueut." , The other waited patiently. "Lls ten, Benny, I ain't washed up. I pt 50 grand in my pocket and I want to give you 25 for what jtohive done for me in the past." Beany snorted. "Fifty grand! Hot Itt Why if the cops walked in here ud found you with them dia monds on you we'd both get 20 jars in the penitentiary, you for hiving 'em and me for knowing It And me as innocent as a new born babe." Beano sighed, "Listen, Benny. I didn't steal 'em. I was only in lifferty'i when Bretto rushes in ud nys to me, 'Hold dis f or me 111 I get back.1 But he never got bsck, the boys got him outside and nn they searched him for the W ttiey couldn't find It. Then the m got them end gave 'em the 4tir, eoyou see, Benny, I cam by ten honest" "Honest?" snorted Benny. "Ill be! the insurance dicks are sniffing W trail right now, not to men- e the cops." That's it," said Beano. "AH I wattodoiatolayupina nice wdreuit far a couple of months P la Canada and if s a cinch. Fifty maaaint hay, Benny." e bell rang. Benny picked up Us telephone. "Wo," said Benny. "Oh, yes, yah, sure I believe in Chriat- "Aw, Benny," protested Beano, "I don't want to b a Santa Claus. Kids bother me. I Just want to go to Canada for a while and then I'm going to finish my cor. respondence course in Physical Education. Maybe I oan get a job in one of them colleges." mas. Sure, a good time was had by all, the kids like it, too, but I got business. Skiing. Sure I like it . on the movies. How's that girl with the dead pan, yeah, Mack, that's the name. Maybe I will at that Couple of days, maybe. Busy time, New Year's, got a couple of shows lined up. Sure I'll be up, O. K. if I bring a friend?" Beano's eyes twinkled with hope. Benny set the receiver down. "What do you think about that?" he said to Beano. "That's the best artist in Canada, that is, real artist, I mean, not an act. Asking me- up for Christmas week. Swell place up where they all ski. Maybe I can do something for you, Beano." "W, Benny, I knew you'd come across, split do-so and help me get rid of the Ice." "Nothing doing, Beano. It's too hot, but I'll give you a break. Never let it be said I didn't help a pal and that's more than the Maxos' would do for you. "I'll ring up Johnny Goodman in Montreal and get you a Santa Claus act in one of the stores. No body'll recognize you as Santa Claus." "Aw, Benny," protested Beano. "I don't want to be a Santa Claus. Kids bother me. I just want to go to Canada for a while and then Vm going to finish my correspond ence course In Physical Education. Maybe I can get a Job in one of them colleges." " Benny Brien sighed. "That's the trouble with you. Physical education. You took it all in your muscles and none in your head. Here. Get into this costume. No body will think of looking for hot ice on Santa Claus." "But what about them skiing mountains? That'd be the place to cool the ice off," said Beano. "That's what I'm coming to. I'll take you up there. Maybe this guy will need a butler." A gleam of hope curdled in Beano's eyes. "I don't want to be a butler. I want to go straight after I get rid of the ice. Didn't I tell you I was going straight when this guy Bretto lands this stuff in my lap?" Benny urlen signed. "I'm doing this as a favor, mark you, and I don't want any cut, only if maybe after a couple of years you get rid of the stuff and the insurance peo ple lay off and pay the client well. maybe you might drop in some day and say, Benny, I'd like to back you in a show on Broadway. Maybe we could get by with 80 thousand il you get 50 thousand." "You mean youd want it all?" said Beano peevishly. I mean nothing. Didn't I tell you I wouldn't touch it Nor will you if I help you, We'll give it back to the people, in entertain. ment for the people, $3.50 a crack. and then its gone, doing good where it should and you and me haven't touched a cent." Beano sat down again a little bewildered by the speed of Benny's delivery and not exactly clear about its meaning. But he realized that in Benny lay the hope of sanctuary and that soon he would be free of the gnawing fear that the hounds of the law, working ruthlessly and silently, were clos ing in upon. him. "O. X Benny. If that's the way you want it" "What about the Customs up in Canada, Benny?" "That's simple. I go up by air. You drive up. You put the ice between tife rim and the rubber of the spare tire. You'll be all right, and if they get you I'll be all right see, 60-50, whichever way it is they don't get both of us."
