THE ENEMY STRIKES
CHAPTER XIV

Talcott accepted the print and
rs he scanned it his bewilder-
ment grew. The print was a
copy of a creased and rather
smudgy original. 1t was the
head and shoulders likeness of
a man in uniform, a Uhlan Off
Ger of the first World War. His
head was closely shaved or bald.
Under a bullying forehead his
eyes held the. fixed, CLASSY stare
of unquestoned authority. His
chin was short and square, his
lips thin and cruel. He didn't
look like Struthers; he didn't
look like anybody Talcott could
remember ever having seen.

1T certainly isn't Struthers,'
Talcott said.
IL don't like to think what a
Nazi agent could do if firmly
established nearby. Well check
on him thoroughly. And now"
the cloudiness left his gray eyes
as he turned to Mcdowell,
