"
Thanks," said Jimmy, smiling. "It's awfully good of you, but you must hurry
now. There goes your friend."
Feinheimer stood as one dazed, looking down at the bulk of his friend and
associate.
"Mein Gott!" he cried. "What kind of a place you think I run, young man?" He
turned angrily on Jimmy. "What you think I hire you for? To beat up my best
customer?"
"
He got what was coming to him," said a soft feminine voice at Jimmy's elbow.
The man looked to see Little Eva standing at his side. "I didn't think anybody
could do that to Murray," she continued. "Lord, but it was pretty. He's had it
coming to him ever since I've known him, but the big stiff had everybody around
this joint buffaloed. He got away with anything he started."
Feinheimer looked at Little Eva disgustedly.
"
He's my best customer," he cried, "and a bum waiter comes along and beats him
up just when he is trying to have a little innocent sport on Christmas Eve. You
take off your apron, young man, and get your time. I won't have no rough stuff in
Feinheimer's."
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and grinned.
"
Shouldn't I wait to see if I can't do something more for Mr. Murray?" he
suggested.
