N IcGANN and Rosario" the
N1 Inspector called out. There's
three hundred armed cops
around this building. You haven't
got one chance of making a
break for it. Pm giving both of
you just thirty seconds to come
out with your hands in the air
otherwise you'll come out feet

"There's be a dozen dead cops
before you get us out" McGann,
called out derisively.
A. rifle cracked sharply from
the darkness, and q bullet ripped
into the hinged shelf section,
three inches from Ryan's head.
Crouching down, two detectives
moved toward the pitch black
room. Another switched on a
powerful fashlight, picking out
stacks of heavy boxes.
The crash of a pistol shot was
followed by a yell of pain from
one of the advancing detectives.
my shoulder!" he gasped, as
two patrolmen pulled him back
by the feet. His face twisted into
a painful grimace. "Must've
cracked my collarbone." Two
patrolmen rushed him to a police
ambulance.
"That's just sample" McGann
yelled. "And don't forget this,
you fatfeet: we're standing right
behind that blonde and her
newspaper pal. You can start
shooting anytimew He laughed
with loud, defiant eXultance.
Hawkins nudged Inspector
Ryan, pointing to a thick sheet
of steel that lay on a shelf.
IF one of your men carried
that ahead of him." he whispered,
he'd be able to get into that
room without being winged"
Great" said Ryan. Turning to

sheet of steel and use it as a
shield; we've got to get a man

it, almost knocking it from ms
hands. But he held on, deSpi!e
the jarring shock of a third oui,
let, this one from the rifle, unul
he had put a pile of boxes be-
tween him and the two gunner.
Meanwhile, three other detec-
tives plunged through the open
door in a concerted rush. -
One detective poked a fash
light around the corner OF box,
switching on its beam momen-
tarily. A rifle bullet smashed its
face, showering him with glass
fragments.
In the moment before the
light was extinguished, another
detective had spotted Rosario,
toward the center of the wall
opposite from the secret door.
Charles Dawson, handcuffed TO
water pipe, stood in front OF
him. The detective noted in that
split second that Rosario'S head
projected about two inches above
Dawson's.
Holding his own f1ashlight@ at
arms length, the detective Sepa-
rated two boxes with his free
hand and thrust his service re-
volver through the opening. For
perhaps a tenth of a second he
pressed the turn-on button, shin
ing the light into DawSon's and
Rosario's faces. -. =,
Rosarie's gun fred almost si-
simultaneously with the detec-
tive's, wrecking the f1ashlight. It
was Chimp's last destructive
venture; the detectives precise
ly-calculated shot whizzed almost
through the channel of Dawson's
cowlick, striking the center OF
RoSario'S forehead. .4.A:. r.
McGann's obituary was terse:
"Dammit-he's got the hand
cuff keys!" he muttered. McGann,
needing them to free Jean from
the water pipe so he could use
her as movable shield, moved
toward Rosario. Jean reached a
swift, instructive decision. *:...t
Her foot shot out in the dark
ness, tripping Mccain. Falling to
one knee, he accidentally fired his
gun. A detectives fashlight
caught him as he. wheeled to
shoot Jean. Two bullets. pierced
his chest as he fired. Jean
dropped to the floor. ,. !, =.

a series of commands.

AS the officers scattered tc

tor selected a dozen sharpshoot-
ers from the patrolmen and de-
tectives and lined them up, with
guns drawn, behind the members
of Captain Clancy'S command
who were attempting to find the
hidden door.
There's a spring mechanism
on a section of these shelves,
Clancy reported, "but it's neat
job of joining!"
He ran his sensitive, educated
fingers along the edges of the
shelves, tapped the heavy back
which rested against the wall. His
hand stopped suddenly as it en-
countered a thin, vertical linden
tation, close to a shelf partition

NO COMPROMISE

The battle for justice progresses toward ultimate
victory here and there the country the works Of
prejudice crumbe under the assaults by the constantly
growing forces of freedom Nevertheless, need to
continue to be mindful of the warning that there are
traitors within our own ranks-men and women who,
having mortgaged their souls to our enemies,
are willing and anxious to sell out group for mess
of potage Even at the peril of the entire structure Of
our rights these sinuous seekers of jobs and honors
usually reveal their real character by their pleas
for compromise with segregation for its gradual elm
nation when the fight should be pressed harder for the
complete immediate destruction of the antdemocracy
evil That fight necessarily entails sacrfceshe sacrifice
of selfish ambition in order that progress will not be
retarded.
1t is encouraging to recall the struggle for the abolish
ment of segregated schools Selfish men then argued
that eff the colored schools go, the coored teachers
too" The jim Grow schools went down and their teachers
also But later the teachers up Today they enjoy
equality of pay and placement in the public school systems
of such cities as Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
The battle for justice demands courage patience,
sacrifice Here in Massachusetts there strong ally in
the dominant sentiment; Massachusetts wants jim

ouestion-Was the tower Of ga
bel built before the flood or after
wards?
Answer--It was built after the
lood. The record is in Genesis IL.
Odd John, the beloved dis
9iple, write the Gospel Of John, the
Epistles Of first, second. and third
John, and the book of Revelation?
Ayes, he is understood to be
the author.
Odd Cain and Abel have
any sisters?
Ayes, indeed. Read Genesis
5:4: And the days of Adam after
he had begotten Seth were eight
hundred years: and he begat sons
and daughters" OF Adam, the Bible
says: "He begat sons and daugh-
ters."
o.-Plesss tell how a man can be
sure that he is called to the min
istry.
A.-First, God impresses him. He
does not seek for it. Hebrews 5:4:
And no man taketh this honour
unto himself. but he that is called
of God, as was Aaron Secondly,
he begins to win souls. This is
the fruit and proof of his calling.
John ABS, So Thirdly, the church
recognizes that the man is called
and sets him apart by ordination.
mark 3:14.)
o.-ls there anything in the
Bible to prevent some great ruler
from eonquering all of Europe and
starting new empire like that Of
Rome?
A,-No one will be able to weld
all the nations of Europe, once parts
Of the Roman Empire, into another
world empire. This is clear from
the prophecy Of Daniel 2:4l: "The
kingdom shall be divided" 1t is di-
yided today, and verse 43 says:
Whereas thou sawest iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mingle
themselves with the seed of men:
but they shall not cleave one to
another, even as iron is not mixed
with clay" Elements Of division
will keep them apart in the future
b as in the past, In the near future,
verse A viii be fulfilled. 1t reads:
"And in the days of these kings
shall the God of heaven set up
kingdom, which shall never be de-
stroyed: and the kingdom shall not
be left to other people, but it shall
break in pieces and consume all
these Kingdoms, and it shall stand
for ever" This, of course, is the
Kingdom of Christ over the entire
world, which will be set up after
His second coming.
