CHAPTER XXI

A S Harold opened his mouth to
~ yell for help Huck viciously
clapped a hand to his lips. The boy
fought desperately but inefectively.
It was too late to save himself now.
The rest Of Huck COnnor's muir
ferrous act was quickly carried out.
Holding and silenclng Harold with
one hand, Huck dealt him a stun
ming blow with the other
There was not even a cry as the
hurting body left the window and
crashed through space to death be-
low
Then. almost instantly, Huck set
himself to follow the dictates of his
rapidly working brain.
He fiCkcd out his handkerchief
and ran it over the woodwork of the
window to remove any finger prints
he may have LETT on it, A quick
survey OF the room assured him that
little was amiss. A chair overturned.
He rightcd it in one swift movement.
His glance then fell upon the ia
ttt llIdb ill+A tAlt doll ia Will tliC
butt OF the Cigaret he had smoked.
Huck was too wise to smoke a spe-
Cial brand by which he could be
traced but he knew that Harold did.
Quickly he spread his handker-
chief on the table, took up the tray
with a corner of it and emptied the
contents on the linen. He ran his
coatsleeve over the table, and then,
satisfied that he had destroyed all
CleWs, turned to leave the room.
At the door he stood listening for
a few seconds while he held it
slightly aJar and wiped of his fin
RerprInts. Hearing nothing, he
opened it wider and peered into the
hall. There was no one IN sight.
Then as silently and smoothly as
a shadow. Huck stepped out and
made his way to his own rooms.
TTAROLD'S body was discovered
l. 4 soon afterWard. A guest on a
lower floor had glimpsed a falling
object as it passed his window and
instantly called the Office to report
his belief that il was a body.
