"You might get one and you might not. Now, you will wait till San comes home, and see if he'll let you have the big car." "Will you go then, Eunice?" "No; of course not. I don't go to such fool shows! There's the door! Sanford's coming." A step was heard in the hall, a cheery voice spoke to Ferdinand as he took his master's coat and hat and then a big man entered the living-room.

" it! What's the use? I tell you, yes! It's all gone-very cent of it." Link caught him by the shoulder as he sat at the desk. Sanford's tone enraged him. "You thief!

They had no tools with which to break back into the satellite. And no help could possibly reach them in less than three weeks. If they couldn't get back inside the Platform, Sanford, laughing proudly, had killed them all. There was a babbling of angry, strained, tense voices in Joe's headphones.
