Butch Fleeson. seven grand and he just tipped me off that if I don’t pay up by the end of the week I'm in for some bad trouble Butch, as you know, is a pal of mine and wouldn't make no fuss if it was up to him, but he says the guy who runs the syndicate is press ing him." "What can I do about it?” asked Hazel. "Well," said Charlie, eyeing the glinty knick-knacks on her arms and neck, "I could raise several grand on your jewelry. It would be Just a Ioan, you understand . . .” "Nuts to that loan stuff.” said Hazel. "And while we're having this heart-to-heart, I might as well tell you I've been thinking of call ing it quits. Don't slam the door, sucker " • • • N'ATl RALLY. Charlie was hurt by this kiss-off. especially after his many blue-white kindnesses to the little lady, but he was an old cam paigner and so he left without breaking her arm or doing anything else ungentlemanly. The next day Hazel got a phone call from Butch Fleeson. the bookie. "Hello, beautiful," he said. "1 hear ; tell you've given Charlie the brush ' and—’’ "You want to pick It up where he left off." laughed Hazel "Okay by me. and you can begin by taking me to dinner.” “You catch on quick," said the bookie. He named one of the ex clusive eateries on the East Side Get your Antifreeze Now! "Fares" Play Fair and went on, “Meet you at seven, and if you get there first order your self a drink. I’ll be over soon as I finish with the bets on tonight's fight " A*s hour and four Martinis later, Butch phoned Hazel al the restau rant. “I got rammed up.” he said, "hut I'll he over tn a feu minuter. Have them ice up a couple of quarts of champagne and order the biggest double steak in the house. I m starved.” By 9. Hazel had polished off most of the porterhouse and all the cham pagne. but there was still no sign of Butch. Finally, plenty peeved, she told herself that no horse hus tler was going to make her wait around with ketchup on her mouth. But as she rose to go the waiter handed her a tab for $51 20. “Tell the manager I'm Mr. Flee- son's guest," she said • • • FIVE .MINUTES later tne man ager appeared. "I’m sorry," he said, "but I just phoned Mr. Flee son and he says he had no appoint ment here tonight." "Okay,” said Hazel wearily. "1'11 leave this bracelet as security and come in tomorrow to pay you.” The manager took the bracelet and beckoned to a stoutish gent who was sitting at the bar. The man ualked over. flashed a detechs e'l badge and handed Hazel a typewritten sheet headed, ”Arti cles of feuelry stolen from Mr J. Vszabeth Stone” And when Hazel examined the list she saw that, item for stem, it matched the jew eler she uas u earing "There's some mistake," she said "I got these things from a Mr. Charles Feltus and he told me he bought them on Fifth Avenue ” "You can explain it m court," said the detective. "In the mean time. hand the stuff over. I'll let you go home tonight but I'd suggest you don’t try to leave town." When Hazel got to her apartment she found a sheet of paper under the door. It was a duplicate of the Jewelry list the "detective" had shown her. At the bottom was a message in Charlie's familiar scrawl: "Butch Fleeson thanks you, the syndicate thanks you. and I thank you. Don't slam the door, sucker " Judge Cunningham was telling about a taxi ride he took over to the County Seat last week. The cab was all littered with cigarette butta, plus candy and gum wrap pers. This annoyed the Judge and he spoke to the driver about it. To his surprise the cabman an swered right back. “Don’t blame me,” he said “Fast as I clear this taxi out, the fares just mess it up again. I like a clean cab as well as anybody, but a man has to have some co-operation!” Judge figures the fellow was in the right, and maybe we ought to do a little campaigning with the public. I agree with him — that's why I’m writing this article. From where I sit. it's important for us to remember the fellow who's going to get in the cab after we leave it. Berause he pays the >ame as we do, he's got the same right to a clean, comfortable ride- just as he has the same right to enjoy the beverage of his choice (be it coffee. beer, lemonade, or what have you).
