It gave him more time to loaf about the Club and. of course, there was plenty to drink all for tlie taking. Some weeks be waa paid much as SIM but the money did bim no good. He waa Invited Into card games and he felt he could not refuse becauae they were members of the Club and members of er's gang. Always he lost, for ha knew nothing of cards or gambling.

He learned to drive an automobile and waa detailed to bis own truck with another guiunau ss guard- frequently a pilot car. a high powered roadster accompanied the truck.
