began to issue from the compartment

to the floor.
This was the second for which
Perry had been wAiting-he wanted
access to the little room where vigil

boxes rented by the banks customers.
He pushed on in the excitement and
once inside past the big door slipped
a black mask from his pocket and
hastily adjusted II. Thus immune
