He knocked on the door.

"Mr. Arnold Haatz?"

"Yes."

"You are the Haatz who works for the government—you are in Russel Kinner’s office, connected with
the superintendent of prisons?"

"That’s right."

Arnold Haatz was a placid-looking goose of a man. His skin was pink, his eyes were as pale and
pleasant as August sky. His body was thick, and his hands were small hams.

"I’ve got a message for you, Mr. Haatz."

"Message?"

"From Audine Million. You know her, don’t you?"

"If it’s Jerry Million’s sister you mean—yes, I know her."

"That’s the one. She’s in a jam. She wants you to help her."

Haatz narrowed his blue eyes. "Where is she?"

The man who was made of bones and dry brown hide hesitated for a grim instant.

"She’s at a tourist camp north of town," he said.

Haatz did not answer immediately. He was puzzled. "I don’t understand why she should send for me," he
said.

"I was just around handy, so she sent me."

"What is this trouble?"

"Don’t know. She didn’t tell me."

"Is it her brother who is in trouble?"

"I don’t know."

Haatz said coldly, "I wouldn’t give that brother of hers a drink of ice water if he was in hell. Jerry Million
is no good. I would rather help a snake."

"It ain’t her brother."

"Jerry Million is as low as they come." Harshness was in Haatz’s voice. "A man who would do what he
did should be hung."
