A pan of water rested on the sidewalk; they had tried to do something for him, without being able to. Just an ordinary sidestreet, and a speeding car, a shot that was all. Another was through.

"Lookit the fire in his eyes, will you?" Ginger yapped appreciatively, provocatively. That finished the card game. Reide, the d most of the players, threw down his gummy cards, and with the others, gathered around Mels-ner- 's desk. Fondly they watched the grimy little mutt push hi3 snoot into the worm-lik- e chopmeat. Two days later, Ginger was part of the life of the shack. A bootblack had been commissioned to give him a bath, to provide a lined box for a bed, to continue general caretaking. While the men were out on stories holdups, suicides, fires, whatnot Ginger tripped around impatiently, until they came back. Then he greeted them joyously, with quick, . short barking yelps. and Ginger was forgotten. Hennessy has sprung from his chair like a starting sprinter, yanked Brown from his seat, overturning the table at the same time and smashed a hard fist to the outsider's jaw. Brown reeled, regained his footing, swung, and missed. Nason and Delany started to intervene, but Melsner, who had taken everything in quietly, stopped them with a move of his hand. "Let 'em go a while," he said, grimly. The others backed away. Brown Thoroughly lunged at his lighter rival, who danced aside just fast enough. As the clerk plowed by, the reporter grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, swung him around, and sent him sprawling away with another punch that cracked against his jaw.

Then they tore apart, and each staggered to his feet, a livid mess. Brown wiped his brow, smearing it grotesquely with sweat, ink, and blood. He lunged again, but for the last time. Hennessy, his whole frame taut for one blow, poised like a matador and as the clerk rushed in, brought his left fist forward and up like a lead mallet. It caught the hardware clerk on the point of the chin, and he went down for good.

Budget-wis- e homemakers are taking a second look at their budgets this season, and most of them are keeping one eye on their purse strings, while the other eye is glued to prices.

The dog rubbed against Brown's trousers by mistake. "Why, the ," the startled clerk swore. He reached down, picked up the pup clumsily, and tossed him carelessly to the floor about a yard away. "Wonder you guys wouldn't keep animals outa here," he growled, drawing a card. "You'd think it was a zoo." Nobody replied. Hennessy looked up queerly from his typewriter. Ginger, not having sensed the rebuff, returned to the table. Again he brushed Brown's trousers. As if having anticipated the annoyance, the clerk kicked vigorously. There was a sharp squeal, then Ginger, living up to his name, hjt. Brown roared, grabbed the pooch from his leg, and before anyone could protest, hurled him with crushing force against the wall. There was a crunch, then a whim- Hennessy stopped pondering, Delany tossed his book aside, and both ambled over. Reide turned his head from the card table. "The mutt probably has fleas," he remarked.

The newcomers took In the scene a matter-of-faIn way, then swarmed about the lieutenant and the homicide squad man and plied them with questions. One of the newspapermen was chewing gum. The others were smoking and one rotund fellow laughed raucously at something the homicide squad man said. Soon a few broke away and headed for the drugstore across the street with the blue and white teleemblem outside. Within phone twenty minutes all of them squeezed back into the car. "S'long, Mac, see y'in church," the man at the wheel yelled to the lieutenant as the gears meshed. "Hard guys," the man in the crowd muttered, as the machine turned the corner. "You said it," his companion agreed, dryly. An hour later, Joe Melsner of the City News Federation, "Old Man" of the borough's police reporters, left the smoky-walle- d pressroom on the ground floor of the Supreme Court Building to buy an afternoon paper. Johnny Hennessy, of the Globe, the kid of the shack, sat in a corner figuring out his expense account.

Opposite, Delany, of the Star, legs stretched majestically across his desk and feet high in the air, sat back reading a fat book with a scarlet cover and yellow edges. Levito, who was with an paper, fidgeted in a phone booth, waiting to "clean up" the shooting story. A voice thundered in the corridor. The others looked up; they always did when Melsner spoke. He was pointing to something huddled at the doorway. "Now what d'ya call this?" the Old Man grunted, stooping over. He picked up the cringing something and deposited it gingerly on affair his desk, a massive roll-to- p with "Private: Keep Out!" on it in forbidding letters.
