Bill said. I'm a poor liar, but put
it across that time. Look in the Murphy
bed. Then call the COPS"
He kept his eyes on Dolores. His
gaze did not waver at Dib's exclama-
ton. He waited till Dib had called the
police, then he put the gun in Dib's
hand. Watch our pal" he said, and
stepped toward Dolores.
All the sardonic humor had left
Dib's face. His eyes were bright and

shining. He drew deep breath into
his lungs and let it out slowly. Il get
the prize story of the year. It's got
everything: mystery, human interest,
romance" He glanced from Dolores to
Bill, and the cynical grin came back.
Especially romance" he added drily.
Bill made no comment. He was
crossing the room, his eyes on Dolores.
He was trembling as he had trembled
on certain night in Paris. He saw
that Dolores was trembling also. Again
he got the impression of being in a
world apart where he and this lovely
creature stood together.

Bill leaped forward and pushed
Ricardo back as he made dive for the
gun. He said patiently, kid, you'll

Il count, don't I? Or do II"
Bill said nothing. Dib twisted his
mouth at the gun and said, But see
you expect more. Don't mind me. Un-
less" he added, you'd rather I'd CO."
Bill shook his head and said rudely,
"Sit down and wait"
1t was another ten minutes before
the doorbell rang again. Bill stood up
beside the telephone table and said,
"You open the door, Dib."
Dolores came in before Allenby.
Bills heart gave lurch as he saw the
warmth of concern and affection in
her face as she ran to Ricardo.
Allenby said evenly, You're a
louise. Squires. Why didn't you send
the kid home? Why did you force
Dolores to come here?"
Bill said, "I've got call to make. l
wanted you all here when made it."
He looked at Dib as he spoke and saw
nothing but sardonic mirth in his face.
He laid Ricardo's gun on the table
and picked up the phone. He used
both hands to dial Meridian 7-12l2.

He looked up from the telephone
and began to talk to the people in the
room: Il talked to Sebastian today.

to sell; information that would clear
me. Somebody else knew that and
tried to stop the deal"
He heard Dolores gasp and kept
doggedly on. That somebody fol-
lowed Sebastian up here and put
couple of slugs into him with my gun"
Then his face loosened in a grin.
But, whoever it was, he didn't realize
that Sebastian expected something like

steps, knocked the gun down and

gun thudded to the rug as Allenby
fell against the wall with crash.

cradle and stood up. so it was you.

Allenby's eyes we're wild as they
darted from one face to the other. His
voice was thin and high-pitched. He

me as he ruined you"
Dib Rand snapped, "You lie. rat!
