CHAPTER EIGHT

AS PRESCOTT mingled with the
passersby outside, Gun noticed, not
without admiration, how he seemed
10 completely lose his identity
among other people. An entirely
inconspicuous figure, nobody ever
would glance at him twice, or re-
member afterward that they hao
seen him. An exceedingly useful
trait on the part of a shadower.
=, Gun drank his coffee and stood
up. The waiter hustled over and
glanced at Coffin" Prescott's I'M
touched cup.
"Your frien' not thirsty after
all, eh ?"
That" Gun replied, lis not a
matter that have known you long
enough to discuss"
He paid and went unhurriedly
out. Outside he stood for . mo-
ment looking about him. Prescott
and the man he was trailing had,
of course, disappeared.
Gun hailed a crawling taxi, and
drove to Whitehall. But there he
found that X was engaged for
about three-quarters of an hour
and could see no one. Gun left a
message that he would be back,
and went out again to kill time.
Meanwhile Prescott was follow
ing his quarry, and in the begin
ming found it a decidedly firing
business. But he was used to it.
They passed along the street,
Pullinger on one side of it, and
Prescott on the other. On the cor
ner Pullinger paused and glanced
at his wrist watch. Then he turned
up the street that ran at right
angles. and now his pace was a
mere saunter.
Got an appointment, and he's a
bit early for it," was Prescott's
Inward comment.
He crossed the road and got on
the same side as his quarry, in
creastng the distance between
them by pausing to examine shop
window.
But as the man in front ap-
preached a corner, Prescott quick
ened his pace. He had known men
to saunter around corners and then
disappear completely, before this.
Never lose sight of your man.
At the corner Pullinger paused
and turned around to look back
along the street. Prescott turned
into the porch of a shop, which
was also the entrance to a block
Of offices. He did this naturally
rather than suddenly. so that Pull
niger failed to notice him. Shadow
ing is much a matter of timing.
1t looked rather as though the
fellow suspected he might be fol-
lowed, and was making sure he
wasn't, Prescott decided.
While with one eye he read the
names of the various firms in resi-
dence, displayed in neat white-on-
black on the walls, Prescott
watched with the other the refiec-
ton OF the man he was following
in an opposite shop window. When
the new non-refiector windows
came into general use the task of
the shadower would become a
great deal more difficult.
The attitude OF Pullinger was
that OF careless lounger. killing

was raking the street keenly with
his eyes. and making a mental
note OF all the people he saw there
