that kept turning green. Monty
Simmons, crazy-eyed, gasping, met
Holcomb halfway the stairs and tried
to brush past. He had a revolver.
Holcomb twisted it out of his hand
and bore him down, pleading. Leave
that to U.s." he whispered. "She
can't get away. -. She'll pay"
Monty shook violently and pounded
his fists upon the steps. Holcomb
raced on up. At door upstairs ne

him was disturbed. A group Of wom-
