A master switch had been thrown downstairs. 1 was alone in the house with the fat man. I could picture him creeping up the stairs. His head would be sunk in its collar of fat.

I didnt feel like breaking it, and some more I rummaged laws, wide open. through the wastebasket, and found a crumpled sheet of paper on which had been written: BETTY I hope I can make it but weve been working late a lot of nights. Genevieve Its a wonder to me that trains dont get even more crowded these days, but maybe people are learning to stay home. Neither of those notes meant anything to me, but I put the paper in my billfold, anyway. Then some bits of paper on the floor near the window caught my attention. Plain Mr. Jones had torn up a newspaper clipping, violently. The pieces were ragged and crumpled; the carbon smudges of a rubber heel hinted that he had ground the paper into the carpet with his foot. I pieced the clipping together. The story was based on a recent broadcast, picked up by the FCC, from A man a station inside Germany. calling himself Gustav Siegfried Eins had told the German people that if only Hitler would kick out that pig Himmler and his Gestapo, all Germanys troubles would be over. He had put in a plug for Germanys generals and admirals, even mentioning by name Admiral Canaris of German Naval Intelligence.

Something had stirred in the unkempt A figure was moving garden. through the bushes toward the Fielding house. Someone else had decided that it was a nice night for a prowl. Someone else wanted to pry around in the Fielding house while everyone was away. But this time the broken stick by the front door wouldnt scream a warning. It would just be a broken stick, not a broken neck. The booby trap was about to be sprung. The figure in the shrubbery was close to the Fielding house now, moving with less caution. There was a narrow starlit space to be crossed to the last protecting bush. After that, the prowler might decide that there was nothing to worry about, and might walk confidently up to the front door. The figure slipped across to the last bush. Starlight glimmered for a moment on slim silken legs and on shoulder-lengtblonde hair. It was Arab. I didnt think anything out. My fingers hooked around a straight chair and slammed it at the window. It went through in a crashing spray of glass. I stuck my head in the opening and let out a yell that scalded my throat. Not a yell to Arab. Not a warning. I made it a shriek which curled off into a maniacal laugh. A whip cracked beside my ear and there was a slamming noise and plaster smoked from a small hole in the wall I hit the floor and stayed there. He had taken a snap shot as I crossed in front of a window. The guy could shoot. If I had been moving a trifle slower he might not have marked the plaster. My wild career had ended in the study. I hugged the floor and wondered whether Plain Mr. Jones was on the second or third floor of the Fielding house. If he were on the second, I could crawl safely out of the room, zip downstairs, and leave quietly by the front or back door or by a window on the side away from the Fielding house.

The door was a foot away. In the middle of the room the fat man seemed to be wrestling Insanely with himself. His right hand dangled uselessly while his left was crossed over his body trying to dig into his right pants pocket. I watched stupidly. I didnt get it not until his pocket ripped and his left hand swung out gripping a revolver. Only one thing saved me: he wasnt a southpaw.

I added these curious details to the others. A familiar voice whispered in my ear, "Keep that light in his eyes. I nodded and did as I was told. The light didnt seem to penetrate the fat mans glasses. The lenses bent the light, refracted it, as If made of flawed quartz. He didnt look like a man wearing glasses. He was a new big kind of insect with fat glaring eyes. Down at floor level, so far outside thje cone of light that it was hard to see details, a hand scooped up the revolver.

The pain was like sniffing ammonia. Im O. K. now, I said. Beat it downstairs and cover me. We climbed into the car and let it play Jeep for a couple of blocks. I drove silently, conscious of Arab edging closer to me and peeking up at my face. Every time her shoulder touched mine it left a tingle. I wanted to grab her and tell her that she was a little idiot and I was a big one, but it wouldnt make sense. Not with Joey Raeder in the picture. All 1 could do was to go on trying to keep her out of the obit columns. Just then she switched off the ignition and took the key. The car coasted to a halt, and she said meekly, "That was a hint. I said, This will acknowledge receipt of your hint of October twenty-seconIt is regretted that no action can be taken at the present time. You stop that, Andy Blake," she flared.

I might be the one to make a noise, and he might be the one waiting. I papered myself against a wall of the study and lost interest in being the life of the party. I stood quite still and felt out on both sides for a weapon. My fingers touched something, explored it, then leaped away as If scorched. The something had been a bald head. For a moment I couldn't budge. Then I got tough with myself. Plain Mr. Jones wouldn't have waited patiently while I tickled his head. And he couldnt have shrunk so much in height. I felt for the object again, located the bald head, and found a series of scallops circling it It was d bust of Caesar. the I slid my hand down to Caesar's neck. The bust was heavy but manageable. I crouched, held the bust up and to the right, away from my body, and crept out from the walL If I had estimated the fat man's position correctly I would pass between him and the dull gray rectangle of one of the windows. The bust ought to make a nice silnou-ette- . I moved two steps, three, four, laurel-wreathe- five Everything happened at once. The bust of Caesar twisted out of my grasp and a shock numbed my arm and the fat man screamed. He had mistaken Caesar for me, as I had hoped. He had leaped and clipped it with the edge of his palm. My arm tingled as if he had used a baseball bat. I reached out, touched d bulk, ripped hooks serge-covere- into him. Then I caught it. A blow slashed across my right temple and sent sparks flickering through my head. It spun me around. I fought for balance like a drunk trying to stand in a canoe. I stumbled toward the spot where the door ought to be, and rammed into a wall. I got panicky. I was lost. I couldnt locate the door or windows or the fat man. 1 -- d tic tZuatity buff-in- for?
