IL lA unQ0uDteuly VtlS SABllb VI ulut frying pan that unnerves Castaloni ale tries to duck as Adoreen swings Che pan down on his head but he ls @ little too late. The cast-iron utensil catches him on the back of Che head just as he pulls the trig- ger of his gun.
 The bullet rips a hole in the rug, and in the next instant Ado- reen clips him behind the knees just as Angus shoves his fist into the racketeer's face. The Broccoli King doesn't look a bit dangerous, lying there on the floor with his eyes closed and his breath coming in loud, even gasps,
 "Oh, my goodness" says Ado- reen, with pardonable touch of pride. Look what I've done"
 "Gee whiz, Addie," Angus says, ''you shouldn't have done 1t. You saved my life, but you mighta got hurt"
 Now look here, Angus If you think I was going to stand by and let this-this heel kill you, you've got another guess coming, You never did know how to take care of yourself"
 T guess that's right, Addie. I guess I gotta have you to look after me-"
 Adoreen hesitates Q second as if she is going to melt, and then her eyes snap back to normal Right now we've got to do something about this. Will that truck run2"
 Sure. l guess 80. I'll make 1t 'Fun."
 Even Angus is little surprised swhen the engine actually starts. The front lenders are off, and the body of the truck is wrinkled up from stern to prov, With the Broccoli King stretched out next to his former henchmen in the back of the truck, Angus, With Adoreen sitting next to him, man. ages to back out of the sunroom. It Is hard to understand how Angus gets that truck back as far as h0 does. Maybe the people who see him along the way Just don't believe 1t. Or maybe they don't want to 20 fooling around with anything they are sure is super natural
 Anyway, 1t is not untn after Angus and Adoreen have crossed back Into Manhattan that they hear the wall o fa siren over the rattle of loose tin. It makes no difference to Angus this time If Q policeman wishes to converse with lhim, since he is headed for In- Spector Callahan's ofiice anyway. So he pulls over to the curb and waits with Q peculiarly clear con- science.
 What Angus isn't expecting is the gun this copper jerks out of his holster and points at him. He has seen enough guns for one day, and lt doesn't make him feel any easier that this one has blue uniform behind 1t.
 Don't novel Just don't movel' the officer barks, and Angus can see that this member of the law is young and that this is prob- ably the first time he has pointed 0 gun at anyone. Keep your hands up and come out of there both of you"
 There isn't much choice, so Angus and Adoreen pile out with their hands pointing toward the sky. A lot of people, who are i passing by get interested and close in.
 Angus Is annoyed "Walt e min. ute, Officer. You got this all wrong"
 "Wrong, am IF I suppose the license number doesn't check with the report We gotp I suppose you didn't steal this truck2" 1 Well, maybe l did, but" The patrolman grips his gur tighter. "Okay. That's enough. gotta warn you that you better keep your mouth shut, cause any. thing you say can be used against you" For the first time the COT looks at Adoreen carefully.
 What's your name2" he ask' Adoreen.
 Adoreen Is quivering, "Adoreer Margatc," she says, forgetting sht has decided to be just plain Ado. reen Mickletwidge again,
 The cop takes . step back. q thought SO. Come over here, Miss Margate. Put your hands down You're safe now. You must have had 6 terrible experience"
 He turns to somebody In tho crowd. "Call Inspector Callahan Tell him Officer Krinkel told yot to call, and tell him to rush dowr here because I've got Q dangerous kidnaper covered"
 Angus suddenly sees what on, cer Krinkel Is driving at. T didn' kidnap her. ofilcer," he protests "You sec"
 Denying 1t, are youp Tha won't get you very far"
 No, Ofacer." says Adoreen "You don't understand. It wasn' this man"
 Ofiicer Krinkei pats her shoulder and says, Don't you worry, littl' lady. I know just how you feel You're safe now. This crook won hurt you anymore"
 
 Angus and Adoreen are still argu' ing with Officer Krinkei and witt two other cops who have come ul when afl, avalanche of police carI came roaring up. Tn two seconds the street Is damned with police men and detectives, and there art more Tommy guns aimed at Angul than the whole A. N Y. had in th, Argonne. Angus is relieved to see In spector Callahan.
 Hello, Inspector" says Angus @Make these fellows put their gum away. This Is all Q mistake"
 A couple of hlusky patrolmei grab Callahan hecaiise it looks ai if he Is going to pitch forward h . dead faint. Then he pulls him self together and lokog murder.
