There was a fire exit at the end

All of them had come in CUR

NO ILLUSIONS

NO ILLUSIONS
Albert had no illusions. Maybe
the F'BI or the New York police
hadn't solved Paul Haffschner's
killing.
But Haffschner's own organiza-

Butner, himself. would be on it
IAwgoost Butner, head gunman for
the Germans in the United States.
Butner wasn't bad, sfor a Heinie,
either. Albert admitted. He was a
great man for detail.
He believed in working out
every move of a killing, the failing
of the victim, the knowledge of his
habits. jockeying for the oppor-
tunity, the killing itself, the get
away.
He wasn't so good on the spot,
though. Any slight disarrangement
of his plans bewildered him.
He couldn't think on his feet.
All Germans were like that. The
German army too. That was what
had kept them from winning after
'Dunkirk.
Well. Butner would be after him

his hours of practice with
his revolver.
He was still grmning coldly
when he caught sight of the heavy
but trim figure and the thinner
blond one walking along the dag
onal walk from Sixth to Fifth
street.
Butner and Heinsfogel. AL
ready! They were better than he
had believed they could be.
His eyes narrowed as he watched
them. They sauntered over 10 a
seat miraculously vacated and sat
down and talked earnestly to-
gether.
He watched them for long
moment. Then his eyes went past
them toward Sixth street.
A recruiting sergeant had set
up his stand near the entrance of
a walk. And Albert's plan was,
all at once, complete in his mind.
He took off his coat and slipped
his shoulder holster over his vest.
In il was a new automatic he
had bought only yesterday. The
gun with which he had killed
.Haffschner was somewhere in the
Ohio River, where he had dropped
it from the train on his way to the
coast.
He went out or the room and
down the elevator and through
the lobby. He crossed the street.
Butner and Heinsfogel were still
in earnest conference.
They got up after a while and
took a bus. He followed them TO
Main street, where they went into
hotel and asked for their keys.
Albert entered the lobby as
their elevator door closed.
Those two men who just
went up are friends Of mine"
he told the clerk. What's
their room number? They ex-
pect me-"
The clerk eyed him suSpiciously
but Albert was friendly and eager
and half smiling.
