IT was approaching midnight when Nipper Brady drove a dilapidated old truck into the New Era Garage on Eighth Avenue. Without leaving the driver’s seat, he spoke to the attendant who approached.

“Say, boy,” said Nipper, “I gotta leave this old wagon overnight. Maybe a couple days. Where can I stick it?”

“Take it on the elevator,” was the reply. “Third floor.”

“Nix on that,” replied Nipper. “I may want it in a hurry when I come back for it. If you can’t give me space down here, I’ll pull out.” He began to reverse the truck.

“Don’t be in a hurry,” argued the garage man. “I’ll fix you up on this floor. Go back there - over by the far wall, near the corner.” He indicated the place. “Back your truck in there. Here, wait until I fix you up with a claim check.”

Nipper waited after he had put the truck in its place. The attendant was gone. The little gangster reached beneath the front seat and found a wire. He pushed it into a plug in a box at the side of the truck under the seat.

“I got an idea what this is for,” he chuckled. “I oughta known all about it when Cliff said to drive easy comin’ down. Guess I’ll buzz Dave an’ see how he an’ Patsy made out.”

Nipper made his telephone call from a near-by drug store, after he had left the garage. Dave answered. He said that Patsy was with him.

They had had experiences similar to Nipper’s. The other trucks - both old, much-used vehicles - had been stored in the garages designated.
