stealthily down the hall toward the
front door; the money was still in that
room in there! Also, he was glad to
have had confirmed what he had al

alone in the Iron Tavern.
The front door opened and closed
again softly. Dave Henderson stole
silently across the hall again, and
crouched against the opposite wall once
more, but this time almost at the door

The fashlighty full on, lay on the
desk. It played over the package OF
banknotes, and sent back reflected

phone instrument that stood few
inches further along on the desk. The
mans form, his back to the door, and
back of the light, was like a silhouettcd

the house. Perhaps five seconds passed,
and then the man chuckled low and
wheezingly.
Dave Henderson grew suddenly rigid.

heard that chuckle before-somewhere
