would be the time required to cut through.

With that he fell full length to the ground,
stretching his body far as the steel connection
would permit. Macdonald saw that he had hooked
one foot across the CORPSE and was straining to pull
it toward him. The body moved, slowly, and aided
by gravity on the down slope, turned clumsily the
right arm Topping over to strike the ground.
With the same instinct that caused him to
wreck the car, Macdonald suddenly knew what
Burgess was doing, and with desperate pull of his
arm he tried to drag the killer toward him, away
from Winslow's body.
But the dead man was close enough, and
Burgess pulled himself around and once more took
sitting position on the grass Almost leisurely he
reached out with his free hand, and grabbing the
blOod-stained clothing, drew the body even nearer.

Macdonald womed his hand into the pocket
again and brought it out. When he did, he looked
up at the killer, an expression Of determination on
his face. I've got something else in my hand,
Burgess. My cigarette lighter. If die today, you
die with me. Move that knife an inch and I'll click
this lighter"
The sudden quiet was oppressive as both men
became acutely aware of the heavy gasoline fumes.
Burgess eyes glazed over. He licked his lips 'You
you wouldn't do that you'd be killing your
SELF" But the confidence and conviction were gone
from his voice as he stared at Macdonald.
''YOu can find out If I'll do it, Burgess. All you
have to do is make the first move"
1t was just at dusk that the searchers found the
tracks where the car had gone over the embank-
ment, and moments later tan-and-gray uniformed
men were sliding and scrambling down the SCARED
slope toward the automobile.
WITHIN TEN minutes Mac had been pred loose
His leg was badly cut and swollen where it had been
pinned in the wreckage, but no bones were broken.
With the aid of the captain he hobbled away and
sat down on the grassy slope. Burgess, again hand
cufed, sat sullenly ten yards away, guard on
either side.
I'm damned glad he didn't know you had

think of that one running free again.
"He knew it," Macdonald said. He pulled

Macdonald shrugged and turned away. As they
headed up the slope toward the police cars the
captain said, 'What'd he mean? II you'd have

"Can 6ll you in later? Right now I'd like to
get cleaned up and let the wife know I'm okay"
"Sure," said the captain. He held the cigarettes
