He blinked his eyes in the sud den light and grinned at me. "Sorry I scared you. Guess I must have fallen asleep." 'But how did you get In here?" He looked surprised.

"I asked the landlady If I could wait. She looked kinda peeved to be waked at midnight, but my press card made her think I was important I waited a half hour, then I turned off the light to get a snooze." "But the guard out in front the polrceman?" "Oh, yeah! I wasn't sure of the address. He said this was it He's a friend of mine." I was beginning to breathe normally again. "What did you want to see me about?" I offered him a cigaret and lighted one myself, then dropped to a seat on the edge of the sofa. "About a little more co-operation.

Edwin Toade' of nearby Hancock remarked that the rat Droblem had him "ud a tree" and he was nearly correct. Puzzled by the presence of many large rats, Toade was startled glancing at a favorite tree to see a large rodent sitting on a limb.

Investigating, he found the rats the tree' had nested in a hole in water over the dirty dishes in the sink so they would soak. Stepping to the telephone he asked for a number with which he seemed to be familiar, but which was strange to me. "All set," he said Into the mouthpiece. Enjoying, my mystification, he signaled me to the window again. "Watch!" hs whispered.

In less than five minutes, down the street came an old covered wagon, drawn by two burros and driven by an old man with a long white beard. One of the cameramen stood up and reached for his camera. The other hesitated. A pretty girl stuck her head out of the curtains of the covered vyagon behind the old man.

The last I saw of him as I closed the bedroom door, he was staring at the picture and scratching his head.

Now that he had taken his hat off, at last, I noticed that he was slightly I expected to lie awake, my thoughts in a turmoil, but I reckoned without the physical exhaustion of the past 24 hours. My sleep was dreamless. I wakened to find Belzer in the doorway, banging on a tin plate with a spoon. The air was pungent with the aroma of coffee. I jumped out of bed.

"Stop that! My landlady" "Your landlady is downtown, doing her shopping. It's nine o'clock and we've got to be on our way. My policeman friend at your front door goes off duty at 10, and his successor may not be as successful in persuading my rivals that you're not to be disturbed." He led me, still in my pajamas, to the front window where we peeked through the curtains. Several young men stood on the sidewalk below, arguing with the plain clothes officer. Two cameramen were seated on the curb as though resigned to waiting all day.

"What will we do go out the back way?" I asked him. "Leave that to me. Get dressed. I'll get you out of here." I had to admit he was a good cook. By 9:30, bathed, shaved and In clean clothes, with a breakfast of bacon and eggs to fortify trie against what the day might bring.
