"If I‘ve good work so farâ€"I want a chance at the Bat!" The chief drummed on the desk. Annoyance and surprise were im his voice when he spoke. The chief‘s face became expresâ€" sionless. "I saidâ€"anything within reason," he said, softly. regarding Anderson keenly. The muscles of Anderson‘s left hand tensed on the arm of his chair. He looked squarely at the chief. "I want a chance at the Bat!" he said, slowiy. The chief‘s look grew searching. "H‘m" he said. "Wellâ€"as I sayâ€"anyâ€" thing within reason. What case do you want to be assigned to?"

"Thank you, sir," said the tall man, smiling and sitting down. He took a cigar and lit it. "That makes it easier, sirâ€"you‘re telling me that. Becauseâ€"I‘ve conte to ask a favor." He stood perfectly easy before his chief for several moments before the latter looked up from his papers. The man whoge name he whisperâ€" ed, oddly enough, was at that momâ€" ent standing before his official superior in a qui@@ room not far away.

"I can‘t thank you enough, sir." "Don‘t try," grumbled the chief. "If I weren‘t.as much of a damn fool as you are, I wouldn‘t let you do it.
