CHAPTER I
HARRY VINCENT swung from the subway exit and turned southward toward Columbus Circle.
Blocks ahead he saw a distant electric sign that was spelling a word in running letters. The sign said:



HURRY!

Walking briskly, Harry kept watching the sign. Another word unraveled itself across the broad strip. It
was a repetition of the first, but exclamation points rendered it more emphatic.

This time the sign said:

HURRY!!

Instinctively, Harry quickened his pace. Somehow, the message seemed intended for him. He had taken
the subway because be hadn't been able to find an empty cab and besides, there had been a traffic jam
around Times Square. And now the electric sign was delivering another silent shout.
There, in running letters that fairly screamed its brightness, appeared a third word:

HURRY!!!

Now Harry was doing a dog-trot He was really taking this message literally.
