his rifle ready in his hands.
He peered into LennOX's bedroom

Then the floor of the corridor creaked
beneath his step; and he knew moth

He glided faster. He halted once

E.ennox glanced up from his maya
zir2 to find that unmistakable thing,
g. ~ barrel of a rifle, pointed at his
breast. Cranston was one of those
rare marksmen who shoot with both
eyes open-and that meant that he
kept his full visual powers to the last
instant before the hammer fell.

said simply. "One of 'em won't work
at all-besides, against the doctors
orders"
Cranston stole over toward him,
looking closely for weapons. He pulled
aside the wooden blanket that LennOx
had drawn up over his body, and he
pushed his hand into the cushions of
the couch. A few deft pats, holding
his rifle through the fork of his arm
finger coiled into the trigger guard
assured him that LennOx was not
''heeled' at all. Then he laughed and
went to work.
"I thought I told you once" Len
ncx began with perfect GOODNESS, "that
the doors of my house were no longer
open to YOU"
"You did say that" was Cranstons
cultural reply. "But you see Pm here
just the same, don't you? And what
are you going to do about it?'
ST probably felt that sooner or later
you would come to steal-just as you
and your crowd stole the supplies
from the forest station last winter
and that probably influenced me to
give the orders. 1 didn't want thieves
around my house, and l don't want
them now. don't want coyotes,

"And 1 don't want any such remarks
out of you, either" CranstOn an
swered him. "You lie still and shut
up, and l suspect that sissy boarder
of yours will come back, after he's

the snow. and find you in one piece
Otherwise not"

But Cranston only laughed and tied
,Lennox's feet with a cord from the
window shade.
He went TO work very systematcai-
". First he rified Lennox's desk In
tbe living room. Then he looked on
s.l the mantels and ransacked the
cunhoards and the drawers. He was
tarnting and calm at first. But as the
moments passed. his passion grew up
on him. He no longer smiled. The
