had been talking to kill time-or else
to make it, for some occult purpose.

"Over there-that large can in the
corner" Blackstock indicated.
To reach it Coast had to pass be-
tween the man and the door; as he
did SO, temporarily off his guard,
Blackstock stepped suddenly to his
side. Grasping Coasts right wrist
with his left hand, he thrust it up
smartly, interposing his shoulder to
prevent 1t from coming down as he
released 1t and simultaneously passed
his own right arm across Coasts
chest, Selling and p%inioning his left.
Having him thus helpless In n OF

pocket, withdrew the automatic pis-
toll and let him go with a shove that
sent him Keeling and staggering back

picked up a heavy monkey-wrench,
and threw himself at Blackstock.
Before he had covered half the
scant distance between them, however,
he was caught up suddenly from be-
hind, jerked back and held, struggling,
kicking, helpless as a child in the
arms of Chang.
AS If he were wholly unaware OF
what was taking place, Blackstock's
voice rumbled on: :" adopted
