Jones," "That doesn't matter," snid Barsclou impatiently, ignoring the shocked faces across the table "Anglin's a dead issue, He doesn't interest me any more." "Well, he interests me," said John Henry hotly, "particularly if it boils down to a mistake in our name." "Which is not Jcmre," Sin added Barselou laughed suddenly There was no amusement to shared in the sound. "1 hirec AngJin last year to find (he Queen I was to pay him so much ove expenses. A week ago, Anglin saic he was on the right track. Th galleon was somewhere in th Badlands and he was figuring ou a route I could follow through th canyons to reach her, beginning a a fixed starling point which agreed on." "Oh!"

"You don' gel the point, Conover. 1 don' care who you are or what you'V' done. All I want from you Is th other halt of Ihe puzzle.

He said carefully, "I'm no saying we have the route, Barse Ion. But if we hand over to next? The la; guy that had the Queen informa tion for you got killed at you door."
