or identified him beyond question,

And who we're. the men who did
Black Hawks bidding? They might
be the feared Terror Mob" hut
the look Of fanaticism in the eyes
of those Bob had fought convinced
him otherwise - they believed in
what they we're doing with the ar
dor Of zealOts.
These men-the Whisperers, as
they now had come to be known,
because they never conversed in
voices that could be distinguished
might be able to help a great deal,
If one could be caught. They must
have resorts where they remained
hidden, awaiting orders to do Black
Hawks bidding How did he COM
municate with them?
The plant was so carefully laid
that nothing was known about them
not even whether they spoke IN
foreign tongues among themselves.
Bob did know that the one who
addressed him outside the Breen
home had sounded cultured-as cul-
tured as Black Hawk himself
sounded in his letters.
Yet it could not have been Black
Hawk, for he would not risk such
close approach if he had others to
do his work. Proof that he was
not without assistants, Bob realized,
lay in the perfect workings of his
plans up to this time-the letters,
the bombing, the note to Ava, the
affair at Fl Harrison, and the other
incidents that had led to the gov
ernment's intervention.
If only he could meet Black Hawk

crossed st. Clair a wave of weari-
ness swept over Bob. He be-
gan to wonder if the fight we're
worth while. After all, Black
Hawk was only doing what in time,
idleness, inertia, smugness, self
satisfaction might do to any city.
At any rate, Black Hawk had
awakened Indianapolis. 1t was now
after midnight and there was a
considerable crowd on the streets.
He noticed Frank Mccarthy as he
turned east. Mccarthy in a group
with Joe Mcnamara and Jack Weiss
apparently was discussing politics
politics first and Black Hawk
second.
He halted his car in front of the
postoffice where a special crew of
wreckerS had cleared up much of
the debris. The west wing appar-
emily would have to be rebuilt, Bob
was taken to new offices on the
other side.
A star federal man was on duty
Frank J. Wilson, recalled from
Washington to aid Bob.
Nothing new" he said. Chief
Morrissey and State Police Com
missioner Feeney are waiting to
see you"
Bob went to Morrissey and Fee
ney at once, and was introduced to
a husky, heavy-Set man of So
Lieutenant Quinnstin, ace police
detective.
He will work right with you,
Major Martyne," said Chief Nor
rissey. Mr.. Feeney has asked me
to offer you full cooperation of all
state departments"
Thank you. I Will call on the
Governor very soon" He grimaced.
we nearly had two Whisperers-
Black Hawks men-a few minutes
ago"
I'd like to talk with theml"
Feeney said.
DOB made his excuses, and took
ID Lieutenant Quinnstin with him.
They soon reached Union Station,
where uniformed police guarded
each entrance, questioning every
person who approached. Only a
desperate man would try to pass
them carrying a package containing
a bomb.
The precautions would not avail
if Black Hawk attacked from the
air. But Bob had taken precautions
against that At the first sound Of
an airplane motor over Indianapolis
or any neighboring community,
swift army pursuit ships would go
aloft. Knowing of this. Black Hawk
would probably try some other mode
of attack.
A thorough search revealed no
hidden explosives. Bob and Quinn
stin reached the train level as an
express from st. Louis drew in.
Before it came to a stop a 1.-the
young man, clad only in shirt,
trousers and shoes. leaped from the
car behind the locomotive and ran
swiftly toward the front of the
train, as if trying to get ahead OF

In split seconds Bob saw it all!
This was a Wmsperer. assigned TO

held in his hand a nitrine bomb.
Now he was racing the locomotive,
