watching Dan closely,
"A friend Of yours wants to speak

The butler responded slowly with a
covert glance at Dan.
No sooner had they gone, however
than Dan climbed all the way into the

them. Then he ran to the window.
Across and down the street the

Once however, Craig paused, and I

Just then We could distinguish a
sound as though someone had moved

He looked at me a moment. The

from an outside plant and thus obviate
the preliminary horrors that attend
the starting up of the power plant in
the building itself. The chair is in
