In her case however, she had become a col uKnn of solid ice the moment she turned to see Harry Hutchins But Jim was all fire now - all fire and fury. He sprang forward needless of the gun.

 She shut her eyes, afraid to see Jim go down before her then she heard the shot, intermingled cautiously with the sound of crash- ing glass
 It was the following Sunday. Cilly was preparing tea in her apartment She expected Sergeant Dolan. And Jim, of course. But Jim lived here now. They had been married the previous afternoon, with Sergeant Dolan, ironically enough, serving as best man.
 Just, at this minute, Jim was checking their bags at the airport Some time tomorrow they would be in Utah, to welcome Jims father home.

And behind her, out- side the shattered glass of Ames and Wakef1eld's front door, stood Dolan. his service revolver still smoking.
