The picture was just barély ott‘ of drawing; the colors ran a little. Rush gouldn’t put his fingér on what was wrong, but deep down where his hunches lived, Rush had a feeling. He was sute that the look he had surprised in Jago’s eyes had been fear, yet there was no reason for him to be afraid of the inventor, if inventor he was. In the few secoiids Rush sat digest- ing the’ story’ Jago: had told’ him, a knock came on the door. Sur- prisingly light on his feet for so at a man, Jago was at the door almost before the knockin ceased. He’ put the gun in his pocket and kept his hand there: With his’ other hand he opened the door a crack, then swung it wide. ¥ “Come in, come’ in, children. I have a’ visitor I want you to meet.” Rush swiveled in his chair to look toward the door, Framed in it as they entered the room were a striking brunette with a slight oriental cast to her featutés, and Wilmer, Leslie Germaine’s com- pene ‘of the’ previous sebuah he almost laugi love’ The stoinigs (We wife A one knot.
