MEET BEANO HTHE door of the ofllce showed a sign more pretentious than the erxterior of the ofllce, which was one of many In a large but not Very modern building. The sign read: BENNY BRIEN Theatrianl Agent There was a light behind the glnsj of the window although It was past Benny Brien's usual hour of closing. Benny Brien was a tmull man and plump, hiding a hard heart under a soft exterior. . He was addressing an apologetic giant over twice his size with the air of a father admonishing his on. "No, Beano, If it was honest Vd help you. Ten years I booked your business and never made a penny more than 25 per cent out of you. i "Three times when you were with me I fixed it for you. Three times champion of the world, and the circuits I got you brought you more than you ever had to pay out to be champion." : The other man fiddled with hts tJcrby. "I know, Benny, you was a pal to me all through." "A pal," exclaimed Benny. "And what did I get for it? The Maxo outfit offered to put you back in the wrestling game for a 15 per cent cut and where are you now? You got the blame and they got the dough. All washed up, and n. then you come to Benny to help ,i you out" ' The other waited patiently. "Lis ten, Benny, I aint washed up. I got 50 grand in my pocket and e' I want to give you 25 for what you have done for me in the past." - ; ' Benny snorted. "Fifty grand! Hot . Ice. Why if the cops walked in here and found you with them dia .... monds on you we'd both get 20 years in the penitentiary, you for having '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 Eafferty's when Bretto rushes in tir and. says to me, "Hold dis for me iyt till I get back.' But be never got back, the boys got him outside and .' when they searched him for the' c Ice they couldn't find it Then the. oops got them and gave 'em the' chair, so you see, Benny, I came by ' them honest" - "Honest?" snorted Benny. TU; r bet the insurance dicks are sniffing' V your trail right now, not to men ,, tion the cops." & "That's it," said Beano. "All I .. want to do is to lay up in a nice quiet circuit for a couple of months up in Canada and if s a cinch. Fifty 1 n grand ain't hay, Benny." : rjtHE bell rang. Benny picked up his telephone. "Hello," said Benny. "Oh, yes, cure, yeah, sure I believe in Christ inas. Sure, a good tune was had by all, the kids like it, too, but I got . , a business. Skiing. Sure I like it f . . on the movies. How's that girl ? Iwith the dead pan, yeah, Mack, jthat's the name. Maybe I will at Ihat. Couple of days, maybe. Busy " Itime, New Year's, got a couple of Shows lined up. Sure I'll be up. O. K. if I bring a friend?" j Beano's eyes twinkled with hope. Benny set the receiver down. : "What do you think about that?" fee said to Beano. "That's the best - artist in Canada, that is, real artist, X mean, not an act Asking me up lor Christmas week. Swell place ' up where they all ski. Maybe I can Ho something for you, Beano." Benny, I knew you'd - j come across. Split 50-50 and help me get rid of the ice." I "Nothing doing, Beano. It's too pot, 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. "- 1 "IU ZkS up Johnny Goodman " .In Montreal and get you a Santa -.- Claus act in one of the stores. No pody'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 I'm 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 he 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." "Hut 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 rl get rid of the ice. Didn't I toll you I was going straight when this guy iBrctto lands this stuff in my lap?" i Benny Brien sighed. "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, imaybc 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 50 thousand if you get 50 thousand." "You mean you'd want it all?" isaid 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 enlortain ment for the people, $3.50 a crack, and then it's 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. K. 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 tne rim and the rubber of the spare tire. You'll be all right, and if they get you I'll be all right see, 50-50, whichever way it is they don't get both of us."
