west side ramp; garages and filling stations
open all night, the Fitch Filling Station where
Dave worked.
On Fifty-seventh Street people were stop
ping at eating places wedged between brown
stone houses. But here - nothing, not a car,
not cop. Nobody.
He opened the box and pulled down the
lever. He closed it and pressed back against
the dark. He hadn't long to wait. In no time
he heard the shrill shrek of sirens, the clang
of fire engines, rush of feet. Where few min
utes earlier the street had been quiet as
tomb, it came alive. Windows were swung
up.
Heads were thrust out, twisting to see if
blaze might be bursting through the roofs
Crowds poured from the neighborhood like
stream of ink from an overturned bottle.
They too craned necks to locate the fire. A
policeman dashed around the corner from the
north, another from the south.
OUT of the dark stole Dave Santelli. His
feet mingled with the running feet. He be-
came part of the flow of humanity He didn't
wait for engines to pull up at the curb beside
the box. He didn't wait for fremen to spring
out and search the street for the person who
had turned in the alarm; to look vainly for
the blaze.
He vanished in the crowd. clutching wad

glare of the spot and tried hard to see be-
yond it.
He could make out only the dim bulk of the
officer perched high on platform a short dis
tance back from the stage. He heard his own
voice answering the questions this man shot
at him.
Whats your name?"
He heard himself through the amplifier
saying, Dave Santelli" He heard his voice
answering the next question, then the next;
a voice out of nightmare waiting for the
man on the perch to demand, Dave Santelli,
did you have anything to do with the murder
of the Fitch Filling Station attendant on the
night of September thirteenth?'
If only he could run from the sound and
from this place and from the fear that clawed
his insides. If only he could run the way he
had from the fire-box after he turned in the
false alarm.
Fifty-eighth Street had been as dark as
this room where now thousand eyes must
be examining him.
But there were no eyes to mark him that
night as he stood near the box, waiting to give
the signal He had made sure of that, piercing
the darkness to check on whether anybody
was watching him.

had hardly any traffic. Around the corner on
Fifty-seventh Street were cars bound for the

of bills in his pocket He swung around the
corner and backed against a wall, hearing
his own heartbeats. 1t seemed to him that
stop. The clang of engines returning to the
firehouse hit his ears like the growl of beasts,
angry at being called out on a FOOLS chase.
He'd done cockeyed thing for a reason
he still couldn't understand. The money
ought to be reason enough. A hundred bucks
Ten crisp new ten-dollar bills gripped in his
wet, nervous palm. He thought of this after
noon when the proposition had been put up
to him. He'd been washing the windshield
of this guy Addisons car. As the glass came
clear, he saw Addison looking him up and
down.
Addisons eyes were the kind you couldn't
get away from once they clamped down on
you. They were like steel rivets. Dave had
gone around to the side where Addison was
at the wheel and said, ''Okay, sir. Stop in
again. Safe driving" Fitch employees were
instructed to give this greeting with CHEEKY
smile. Addison had asked, ''By the way, kid,
want to earn an extra century,"
Just like that, as if centuries were green
leaves growing on trees. Without waiting
for Dawes answer, he had explained, my
names Reed Addison. live at the Ritz.

windows plunged the room in
darkness from which row upon
row of officers, detectives and
visitors studied the men and
women as one by one they went
up the steps to a small stage.
On each in turn the spotlight
glared: eye of the law.
And from the dark that even
those with vision sharp as a

eyes concentrated on them. AS
they stopped to answer ques-

some as old offenders. identi-
fed despite fake names. Others
were new, faces dead white in
the spotlight and panicked,
their voices too low or too shrill
from the desperate effort at
bravado to cover fear.
The boy who looked scared
was twenty, perhaps - far too
young to be standing where he
was. His eyes should have been
a poets. They were seal-brown
and shadowy. brooding eyes
but not shifty. not tricky. His
face was thin. sensitive. His
nostrils dilated like an animals
breathing quickly after a long
run. The hair matted above his
forehead lay black and thick as
fur. After he answered each
question, his teeth held onto
his lower lip.
What's your name?"
AS HE gave the name his voice
was shaky, wavering through
the mike like a radio voice hit
ting static: Dave Santelli."
Were you ever arrested be-

that was one of the most beautiful
spots on the island.
Altho the conduct of navy men
generally is exemplary, they are not
always above taking advantage of
opportunities when presented. An
old standby when visiting new ports
was to use cigar store coupons as

A standard of efficiency unequalled
by any navy is set by that of the
United States. Sailors are not
trained for fighting alone, but after
the initial five weeks training period
is ended they can learn any of many

Large battleships, which may
weigh from $1,000 to $4,000 tons are
small cities in themselves. They
carry compliments of from 1900 to
1900 men. Aircraft carriers, how
ever, may have a crew of as many
as 1900.
Battleships are assigned with
cruisers and destroyers to make up
a complete unit as a fighting force
and all operate together, the speaker
said.
