In the mirror In front of him he saw the two men peer through the store window. He expected that they would move on once they saw that Tony, the owner of the shop, wasn't there. Johnnys reputation as s barber wasn't too good, and he had had only one dissatisfied customer all night Suddenly tt dawned on Johnny that these two men had appeared at the window a few minutes before. He couldnt be mistaken. They both had several weeks' stubble on their faces, and hair was growing over their ears and down their necks. The door opened and the men Johnny winced. stepped inside. It was almost eight o'clock. He'd have to work overtime. Johnny pushed himself out of the chair and noticed that both men were as tall as he, but lean. He saw eyes that were alert, but oould Beneath the stand some sleep. growth of whiskers wars thin faces that needed a few square meals to help fill out the sunken Jaws. And a good whlskbroom could be used to advantage to remove aome of the dust from their clothing. You the Aily barber here? one of th men snapped ss he set a small vallst on n chair. Johnny didnt like the mans surly tone. He hunched hie bread shoulders, stretched to his full six feet, and was tempted to tose the twe haggard looking gents out of the shop, but dfcjded that that might hurt Tony's business. answered Johnny Yeah, realizing that he had never aeen file men in town before, the owner of the shop took his wife out tonight, snd lm filling in for him. Ill go first, Ed, the spokesman lor the two said as be began to remove his cost The man called Ed grunted, I don't like takin this chance, Dick, then he flopped on s chair near the wall and pulled the vallae to him. Torget it, Dick grinned, 1 feel lousy with ell this hair on ms. A good elesn shave and haircut will ep a up. Johnny walked to the door and Started to pull down the shade. Ed Jumped to his feet knocking the valise on the floor, his hand Hashing to his coat pookst with the What are yon same movement doin that lor? he snapped menacingly, Johnny was stunned by the sudden outburst He found his voice It's getting near and explained, closing time.

Johnny walked te the barber chair aad adjusted the headrest. He had an Inkling new af whom these twe men might be, although H teemed fantastic that be eemld be right Dick loosened his necktie and collar then eased Into tho barber chair. He looked at his fingernails, brushed them on his knees and said, You ought to have a girl here to manl-cur- s my nails. They could stand a polishln. At first Johnny win cad at file thought of a man having manicured nails. Then, although he showed no outward emotion, he was Jolted inside. Dapper Dick Crane! Surely that was the name of the man sit ting his hands on his hips be turned toward the barber chair. He snapped, "I told you, Dick, that this idea of stoppin at a barber shop was no good. You know those F.B.I. boys are smart, and I bet they figured that Dapper Dick Crane wouldn't be able to resist stoppin' somewhere for a trim. The clippers poised above Dicks head, Johnny looked In the mirror and said nothing, although a wild thought was running through his head. Dick straightened in the chair, Youve got the Jitters, he said, what barm was there in cornin here? If this guys s barber, then I'm I Ed snarled, ganto Claus, think this guys been planted here and weve walked into a trap! Fallln them shades down was a signal! Dick ran his hand over the back of his neck, and Johnny forced a smile.

Ws don't want anyone else to come in here, do we? Suspicion arose in Johnnys mind. Tbs men's names had a familiar ring. Ed and Dick! Where had he seen or heard theae names linked together before? He went to the store window and pulled down the big shade, and the three men were hidden from the eyes of any passerby. He wished he hadn't thought about the shades. He had an uneasy ftellng now that he was slons with the two men. Ed saw the bolt lock on the Inside of the door and said, That's right, Dick, ws don't want anybody else cornin in here."

Johnny took a long linen cloth, spread it la front of Dick, then pinned it around his neck. So these were the kidnappers who had made the headlines two weeks before! They were 700 miles from the coast where they had collected $30,000 in ransom money, and the T.B.L was supposed to be hot on their trail.- Dick Dont cut it too short, Just give ms a good quick said, trim, and make a neat Job. After picking up the clippers, Johnny turned his hark on Ed. He had a good view of him in the mirror. Ed Been In these parts long? asked behind him. Lived on a farm outside of town all my life, except when I was in ths army. Johnny said as he ran the clippers up the back of Dick's -- neck. You dont look like a farmer to me, Ed growled, his voice full of suspicion. Whats satin' you Ed?" Dick grunted. Johnny became shaky when he saw Ed's hand grip something In his cost pocket again. He began to work faster and ths back of Dicks head didn't look so good. After all." Johnny thought, fellow who had cut hair only aboard a transport on ths way back from Japan Isouldn't do too good of a Job, especially on a mop of hair like this Dapper Dick had." For a minute or two Ed watched In silence, then he stood up and put the valise on the chair. Put- - t intently. After Ed's eyes watching open a drawer hs reached far inside. Suddenly he whirled about, a .32 in his hand. The brothers wers taken by surprise. Ed mumbled, 1 told you be was one of Hoover's men.

After Johnny explained who the brothers were. Bee smiled and said, Local boy captures big city slickers. Still rubbing his hand over the back of his neck, Dick mused, then Ha looked you ain't a Fed, heh? at his brother and added, Why didnt you shoot the punk?
