Racketeer Stories, March 1930

Tinsel children of the darkness are the characters in these stories — wayward children — yet spawn of the Devil himself!

They dance — marionettes in dazzling finery — in the white spotlight our authors throw upon them. They dance the dance of death. Their thin faces smile, but it is only a set grin of pain when you examine them closely.

Their finery is as gay as their laughter sounds, yet we see that there are patches; their jewels only paste. Their lives are rapidly being snuffed out; they soon pay their debts to nature and to Humanity in full.

Read of them, yes! But follow them — no! They teach us to beware of the clammy touch of temptation and sin.

These stories are entertaining — smashingly so — but they are also object lessons to help us in life. For knowledge is power. If we know, then we are not apt to run innocently into trouble.
