certainly was a most peculiar noise
inside that tank.
Was it a mulfled scream?
Kennedy reached down and picked
UP a rock, hitting the tank with re-
sounding blow AS the echo died
down, he listened again.

its three bandits, to the spot fixed Cd

three well-dressed crooks had drawn
revolyers, thinking perhaps the plan
for getting rid of Kennedy might pos
sibly have miscarried But the taxi
cab driver and the rough-faced fellow
had treasured them with the sign OF
