She frowned, considering the question of the money. Only two weeks before they had made the first of five annual payments that were due on the house, and it had left them in perilously shallow fi- nancia) straits. Of course, there was always the money that was so carelessly displayed on the gambling tables, but there couid be no question of using that.

Shordt, former Key West navy man has been seriously wounded in action in the Korean conflict. Pri- or to his duty in Korea, he was at- tached to the Naval Base as a | crminal investigator for the legal | office. | |" Machinist Shordt left Key West ni July of 1950 and went to as- | signment in the Far East. He was | appointed to Warrant Machinist in | | 1991 and again reassigned to the | 1 Far East. | During his stay in Key West, | Shordt made many frineds, not on- | |ly on the Base itself, but also in | the city.

Regan! By God, he'd have a last look ct Regan before he left. Lurching a little, he picked up the candle that had been sitting on the table and started toward the hall. It was barely dusk, but the third-floor storeroom where Regan was hidden had only a few small windows and he would need a light to see. The Negro who was on watch leaped to his feet as Dupré en- tered the room, the long barrel of the horse pisto] half lifted before he saw who it was. “Get out!” he said thickly. “Go downstairs to my room and help Cudjo pack my things. Got a lit- tle business with my friend Mr. | Regan. Little matter I want to) discuss with him.” ent berserk as it flashed across vered mind that Dupré had come to renew’ the torture. With a sudden convulsive move- ment he lifted his shoulders from the bed of rags and twisted to- ward Dupré, clutching at Dupré's knees as he rolled. ‘the weight and unexnectedness of the attack brought Dupré sprawling across him, and with almost animal quickness Regan gathered his legs beneath him, rose to his knees, and sent Dupré flying backward across the room. The candlestick had been knocked out of Dupré’s hand when he fell, and now it lay on the rough, inflammable pile of rags and blankets that had been Regan’s bed. Slowly, almost hesi- tantly, the tinv flames began to lick at the edge of the blankets, advancing and retreating along their edge, seeming almost to die and then moving forward again as a stray wisp of wind stirred them into life.
