None of the nine clocks in the

They haven't been, at least. since the
place became high school, II years
ago. No one around the school re-
calls when the clocks last ran regu-
,arly. They were wound up several
years ago. but told lies about the
time.
The clocks are SO old that their
rarity has been recognized by the
National Museum, which is seeking
them as exhibits.
A master clock, an odd-looking
device in a 5-foot glass-andwooden
case in the school nurses Office, once
controlled the buildings time system.
1t was operated by pendulum and a
heavy weight suspended from steel
cable and hidden somewhere in the
dark recesses beneath the floor of the
case. 1t was wound by a heavy
crank which took almost as much
strength to manipulate as is needed
to flip over the engine of an old car.

across the tips of the skyscrapers; not once did the sun appear. Now Lou Saganitz was by no i means a patient man. He had de- termined that Mink Sabbath should be rubbed, and rubbed he must be. Doc Smith came to Lou at the lat ter's urgent order.
 'It's still raining" Lou said pointedly.
 "Um," breathed Doc Smith. "You know any other way of erasin' @ guy so it can't be traced in an autopsy"
 'No," quavered the doc. "You better find a way" Lou .in- formed him. T ain't waitin' for q stretch of clear weather to throw another party for guy I'm gettin' rid of. And besides, banquets cost money" He pointed a finger in emphasis. T want Mink in the morgue tomorrow"
 Doc Smith gulped. eff you could have some of the boys"
 "No shootin, either" Lou voted. "I'm not flavin' anything traced to me. But want that guy gone. And if they have to trace 1t to you, I'll be sorry for you. That's all"
 It might have been all to Lou but 1t was just the beginning to the doc. One day of grace. If 1t didn't clear by tomorrow ...
 It didn't. Dawn the next day was a mockery; the day seemed to out do the night in darkness. And Doc Smith was desperate enough to call on Mink Sabbath personally. Be- hind him came a moving man, bearing a tall, boxed package.
 "How d'you .feel?" the doc asked Mink after the greetings waiting for a protest. You're look ing bad, awfully bad. You're need in some vitamins. How's your diet? :? Here, take off your shirt"
 Mink was out of his shirt before he had worded the violent protest he felt. The flunkey undid the package and exposed Q glistening chromium sun-ray lamp. Doc Smith lost no time in getting the device plugged in the wall.
 An hour under the lamp, and under the hopeful glare of Doc Smiths colorless eyes, and Mink was peacefully asleep. Another hour and the doc gave up in fear full despair. The only result from the lamp was the slow appearance of what soon would be healthy tan on Mink's back.
 He left him there, the doc, did, and went in supplication to Lou. Lou would be just mad enough to make use of those guns he was so reluctant to call upon. He swung the door open - then his jaw dropped in amusement. Lou Saganitz was smiling at him; grinning, in fact. He arose from his desk and extended a hairy hand. Brilliant" he said. Doc Smith allowed his hand to be shaken. He still couldn't believe either his eyes or his ears. ''How?" he asked blankly.
 Lou snorted. "You don't need to act dumb with me. doc! got q kick out of the way you made sure ] of him. The sun-ray lamp was gen. jus enough, but getting c lamp with a short-circuit was a fasterpiecev The old doc g,llped.
 Good old rain," Lou continued. "one of Mink's windows was leak- ing. When he got up to turn off the lamp he stepped in the puddle of water. Electrocuted!" Lou guffnwed pleasantly. ''we'll send flowers. of course"

When they bumped them in the Saganitz gang they did it. grace fully. With them it wasn't ques- tion of staging noisy rubouti they reasoned that a quite demise, ! quiet and ominous, could put the fear of eternity and Lou Saganatiz into a mugs head easier than a spray of tommy-gun shells.
 Among Lou's closest friends only one knew how the pumping was accomplished. That one was old Doc Smith, and he'd devised the scheme. His flabby lips were often wont to recede over toothless gums { at his own cleverness, for nobody had ever traced his method. Au- topsies showed nothing. Nobody could prove that Lou's victims weren't stricken by heart failure or, for, that matter, sun stroke.
 The hitch was that the poison was effective only on sunny days. Doc Smith had taken advantage of the similarity between a certain substance - available in nature abundantly-and the chief elements of the blood stream. The substance was made from the green coloring in leaves. A few ounces in a drink and the stage was set. The next time the victim strolled in the sun- light strange grapplings and as- saults took place among the mole- cules in his blood. A little lapse of time-then the hearse.
 But-the poison was effective only in sunlight and for only four days.
 Came the day when Lou decided Mink Sabbath must die. As col- lector for Lou's chain of bookie joints Mink had appeared too fre- quently with alibis that business was awful.
 Lou didn't believe business was awful. From the way the papers were playing up the races he was convinced the public was definitely horsey. Then why the drop in the returns from the bookies? Lou's mental finger pointed at Mink and Doc Smith gurgled in glee.
 The night that Mink was feted by Lou Saganitz marked a new high in the mobs celebrations. Lou req soned that Mink's offense was great; his death feast should be in keeping with his offense and Lou rented an entire night club, com plete with entertainment.
 So Mink Sabbath was duly dosed and that night 1t rained. Dov
