<p>“Big Jim” walked homeward with his wife. She seemed quite as pleased with the lights and show windows in the streets as with the admiration of the men in Hoogleys. As they passed Seltzers they heard the sound of many voices in the café. The boys would be starting the drinks around now and discussing past performances.</p>
<p>At the door of their home Delia paused. The pleasure of the outing radiated softly from her countenance. She could not hope for Jim of evenings, but the glory of this one would lighten her lonely hours for a long time.</p>
<p>“Thank you for taking me out, Jim,” she said, gratefully. “Youll be going back up to Seltzers now, of course.”</p>
<p>“To with Seltzers,” said “Big Jim,” emphatically. “And d Pat Corrigan! Does he think I havent got any eyes?”</p>

<p>And then, as Kernans ready finger kept the button and the waiter working, his weak point—a tremendous vanity and arrogant egotism, began to show itself. He recounted story after story of his successful plunderings, ingenious plots and infamous transgressions until Woods, with all his familiarity with evildoers, felt growing within him a cold abhorrence toward the utterly vicious man who had once been his benefactor.</p>
<p>“Im disposed of, of course,” said Woods, at length. “But I advise you to keep under cover for a spell. The newspapers may take up this Norcross affair. There has been an epidemic of burglaries and manslaughter in town this summer.”</p>
<p>The word sent Kernan into a high glow of sullen and vindictive rage.</p>
<p>“To hl with the newspapers,” he growled. “What do they spell but brag and blow and boodle in boxcar letters? Suppose they do take up a case—what does it amount to? The police are easy enough to fool; but what do the newspapers do? They send a lot of pinhead reporters around to the scene; and they make for the nearest saloon and have beer while they take photos of the bartenders oldest daughter in evening dress, to print as the fiancée of the young man in the tenth story, who thought he heard a noise below on the night of the murder. Thats about as near as the newspapers ever come to running down <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Burglar.”</p>

<p>“Well, I dont know,” said Woods, reflecting. “Some of the papers have done good work in that line. Theres the <i epub:type="se:name.publication.newspaper">Morning Mars</i>, for instance. It warmed up two or three trails, and got the man after the police had let em get cold.”</p>
<p>“Ill show you,” said Kernan, rising, and expanding his chest. “Ill show you what I think of newspapers in general, and your <i epub:type="se:name.publication.newspaper">Morning Mars</i> in particular.”</p>
<p>Three feet from their table was the telephone booth. Kernan went inside and sat at the instrument, leaving the door open. He found a number in the book, took down the receiver and made his demand upon Central. Woods sat still, looking at the sneering, cold, vigilant face waiting close to the transmitter, and listened to the words that came from the thin, truculent lips curved into a contemptuous smile.</p>
