He walked to a d down low on his forehead and stalked out without a word. Frankie stared after him, his face a twisted mask of hatred. He laughed deep in his throat.

The bells of a Catholic church tolled the Angelus. Sounds btgan filtering up from the bowling alley on the first floor the sharp click as the ball hit the polished surface of the alley, the echoing crash of the pins. The acrid exudations of a varnish factory tainted the air. Frankie Libold stretched lazily and suppressed a yawn. "I'm going out and get a paper." he told Louie. "Soon as I come back we'll get down to business." He was back again in less than fifteen minutes, and he came in back. "Can't you get anything better? This thing's got nails coming the bottom." His up through smoldering eyes raked across his unresponsive partner. "Skip it," he growled. "Just skip it." He slapped the paper down on the rough surface and thrust a fountain pen into the blind man's hand. "Here." He took the hand and guided it to the paper.

Then suddenly he came hurtling into the room, catapulted by the foot of a man standing directly behind him "Don't shoot, Frankie!" Louie screamed as he fell. But he might Just as well have saved his breath. Frankie Libold was covered by half a dozen guns before he had time to move. Several of the plain clothes men frisked Frankie and relieved him of his gun and the handcuff key. Another, obviously in charge, crossed the room to the bed and released the blind man. The old fellow was smiling in a pleased manner. "I see you got my message in time, officer," he said, seeking his rescuer with sightless eyes. "We did, Mr. Carter, and I think that was a pretty clever idea, too punching it in braille on the ransom note.
