"This fellow won't interrupt us long," Colwel1 told the girl. "Won't be any rough house, I guess." He moved to the door, peered through the slot, and saw Som- mers with a hulking blond giant. Co1wel1 admitted the man. who clumped inside and dropped his kit of tools, smiling the shy wmile of Swedes. “I get right at it." he announced. “I don't stay long." He walked to the inner Mice where Helen waited. She was bur- rowing in her purse. Suddenly she whipped out a gun. His face took on a hard, tired look. "Sit down '." Helen commanded. The steamfitter, steping cat-like after, shoved a weapon into ni. back. He hesitated, then obeyed. Tho Swede without a word return- ed to the corridor door.

Methodically he dropped on his knees and poked his flashlight for a look. Minutes passed but the tableau in the in.. ner omce did not change. Cuber had found the safe empty, of course. Dan did not move or change ex- pression. There was a wrench of trplinterintr wood in the outer of- flee as Ole's crowbar began the descration of the pine floor. A board here and there gave onto blank spaces between steel beams. His flashlight slanted into the dark. His grumbling indicated Ole was having no success. "Forty grand buys it." Gvaber's face darkened. "'s'vL're asking trouble then? Ole, tear up the floor. It's likely between the floor and the ceiling below. Sit tight, Colwell, because if Ole does- n't tInd it we'll be wanting next to tear you up. The safe," he said with tt Wave of his fat hand, "is empty.

"You knock me out and you’ll never get it! Nobody else can tell you, you fool!" Grahev rose and paced up and down, his lips twitching. The Swede watched from the doorway. Finally Otto halted, feet apart, hands on hips, and the automatic still in his fist, "You're tough. Colwell. I never thought you had much guts. But--" He sighed re- signedly. "How soon can you get the stuff here?” Dan's pulse speeded. He did not relish another beating such as Lef- ty and Graber had administered in the Kennebec Hotel. The ques- tion seemed to indicate that Otto knew he had met his match and that he had at last concluded to pay. “I can get it here in ten min- ute-s. Hm before I send for it, Ole goes.

Chink. Savvy? Send 'em quick this number: 1123 Lawyers and Doctors Building. You know right one? All tight-quick'." As he talked he shook the con- tents of the waste basket, scrut- inizing sump after scrap of pa- per. At last he found an ordinary laundry slip with Chinese charac- ters painted on it.
