As before, several “spot- ters” walked past and sized me up. Then Ling came, He handed me a package I reached for my money, gave it to him and whipped out my gun. He swore an awful oath and began call ing me the vilest names I'd ever heard. I hollered, “Bob?” jaerman came bounding out of his box across the room and he shut that Chinaman up with an open- handed blow across the mouth. As wo were leaving the place the government operative whom Ling had laughed at four nights before came along grinning. “Well, Chinky,” he taunted, “T thought you were too smart China- man.” “T got ‘um bone in head.” Ling grinned back, as Baerman took him off to headquarters, John T.
