run away. However the next words of the ISC-man made it obvious that Dunbee had been captured again, as he said: "He fought like a madman when we finally found him. Come, let’s take a look under the containers!"

Kennof heard them crawl around underneath. Then St. Cloud emerged again, followed by his companion.

"If he isn’t under the containers, he might be atop one of them," St. Cloud suggested.

"Why would he do a crazy thing like that?" the other contradicted him. "Let’s look someplace else."

As soon as they were gone Kennof wiggled his way out from under the pipelines and carefully descended the ladder. He jumped from the last two rungs and landed in front of Dr. Le Boeuf, who pointed a pistol at him.

"Hello, Kennof!" the little physician greeted him.

6/ THE ISC UNVEILED

"I can’t stand all this waiting," Celia Mortimer said to Shane, who sat across from her. "Why don’t we hear from Dick?"

Shane Hardiston was a tall muscular man with gentle blue eyes. At a superficial glance he could be easily mistaken as a kind and reticent person. But his enemies knew that his calm manners concealed his ability to act savagely.

"Maybe they already put him to sleep," Shane said teasingly.

"We’ve got to do something," Celia urged angrily.

"Yes," Hardiston agreed, "we’ve got to wait."

She gave him a furious look but refrained from answering. They sat in Kennof’s private office, which had become a sort of headquarters for them.

Hartz came in and tossed a bundle of papers on the table. His face had a cunning expression. "I think we’ve thrown the snoopers from the ISC off the scent. Cascane has reported that they left town." He rubbed his hands in pleasure. "Everything works out just fine." Then his face darkened. "Poor Dick. A lot of debts and a hang-up like you, Celia," he said in a plaintive voice. "Oh well," he continued unabashed when nobody cracked a smile, "the mood around here seems to approach absolute zero. Never mind, you can’t get a good man down. I’ve discovered that the president of the ISC, a certain Cavanaugh, has got more money in his bank account than he can possibly have earned in his business."

"He’ll trump up some kind of an explanation for his fortune when we ask him about it," Shanke said.

"Of course," Hartz admitted. "It was just an idea. By the way, that Cascane is getting awfully impatient in

his office. I can hardly talk him out of going to Cheyenne to help Kennof."

"He seems to have more guts than some other men," Celia commented ironically.

"She’s giving me the needle," Shane explained to the financial adviser. "The young lady is of the opinion that it’s time to intervene."

"But Celia," Hartz said indignantly. "Just now when everything is colacoola? (hunky-dory) If Dick needs help, I’m sure he’ll let us know. He’s not a kid who doesn’t know what to do in an emergency."

"I know him better," Celia declared. "If there ever was a man who stumbles from danger to danger, it’s Dick.
