I may want to get married some day, so I don't want to take any chances." The mining engineer looked at him blankly for a moment, then threw back his head and laughter rolled out until it seemed to fill the stope. Hanlon watched the other's mind clear itself of all suspicion ... at least for the time being. Philander rested his hand companionably on the younger man's shoulder.
Should he go to some other planet? Would he thus get best leads? Perhaps if it wasn't for too long a time, of course. The leader smiled suddenly while Hanlon was thus thinking, and the rest grinned as though they had been waiting for his lead to relax their vigilance. "There will be a very large ... uh ... bundle." He paused a moment, then continued "We need more overseers on ... a certain planet.
"And I called, too," Hanlon said, "to offer you my respectful sympathy, Mrs, Embury, and ask if there's anything I can do for you." "Why, you're very kind," said Eunice, touched by his thoughtfulness, "but I'm afraid there's nothing you anybody can do for me." "F. Stone can," declared Fibsy; "he can do a lot for you, Mrs, Embury."
Hanlon said that he noticed the child, a boy, as he helped the little fellow down the car steps, because of an open jack-knife which the youngster carried, and which he good-naturedly advised him to close before he stumbled with it. To the best of Hanlon's recollection the little fellow wore a mackinaw jacket, but he did not notice this in particular.
"Well," replied the other, "there is something in that, and whatever I can do with him, I will, if you'll thry and do me a favor." "Me! Name it, man name it, and it's done, if it was only to rob the Grange. Ha! ha! An' by the way, I dunna what puts robbin' the Grange into my head!" And, as he spoke, his eye was bent with an expression of peculiar significance on Hanlon.
It was plenty dangerous, but if he could put it over maybe it would give him that "in" he needed. He hurried his steps and caught up with the big man just as the latter was stopping momentarily to peer cautiously around the corner and down a corridor which, Hanlon could read in his mind, led to the victim's stateroom.
Now Hanlon could see they were nearing some mountains, and took particular notice of everything that might be remembered as a landmark. Soon they were settling down into a little hidden valley, where there was a fairly large space-freighter. They led him into this ship, and he lost the dog, so could not see just where they were taking him.
"Your orders go, as I said." He touched a stud on his desk and when the doctor's face appeared on the screen, gave the necessary orders. "Look carefully to see if the internal arrangement of bones and organs is human but do not cut without specific orders." "What about the emperor, sir?" Hanlon asked. "You've undoubtedly formed some sort of opinion about him."
He controlled its mind so that it climbed up in the man's lap and, with its forepaws on the fellow's shoulder, looked out of the aircar's window. No one seemed to find anything peculiar in the dog's actions, its owner merely patting it as it stood there, as Hanlon could feel through the dog's senses.
"The same old reason," and Hanlon spoke seriously. "I'm trying, as I said, to find the Embury murderer, and I contrived that session with the old lady in hopes of learning something to help me in finding him." "And did you?" "I learned that she is a harmless, but none the less, positively demented woman.
