he started to do so, his eyes fell en-

He reconsidered. Perhaps it would
be best to reconnoitur. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the fire escape
which led to the back room. There,
as we grouped ourself about the

planned his plans, Wu's sinister face
gazed in at US for a moment, then
withdrew. Silently he made his way
