Of power for each of the five zones.

had laid for years in his desk was

action.

up cautiously and pushed open the
blinds The brightness OF the lard,
recently so sinister and dark, amazed
him for an instant. The barn, the
outbuildings and the shining iron roof
of the garage were clearly visible. He
was aware after a moment that wan
ing moon rode up the sky among faint
stars. A fleece of cloud passed swiftly
across its lopsided face and left 1t
FURNISHED brighter.
He grinned mirthlessly as he cooked
the ancient firearm and aimed upward
at that shining face. The shadow of
the garage stretched out across the
freezing ground toward him. Its en-
trance was obscured by impenetrable
blackness.
The bite of the wintry air brought
his racing mind back to normality and
uneasiness. All at once, he was con-
WINGED that he had been about to make
a fool of himself. The plan that
seemed so brilliant a moment before,
became inane and childish. even as the
perils which he had imagined in the
gloom appeared ridiculous In the home

The wind searched out penetrable
places in his clothing and set him 10
