Doc Hear Over Car

Doc glided through high weeds. He reached a road, a little used thoroughfare.

A score of yards distant, five men had just seated themselves in a touring car. The car engine started.

"How'd it go, Squint?" asked one of the five in the machine.

The man's words, lifted loudly because of the noisy car engine, reached Doc Savage's keen ears. And he heard the reply they received.

"Slick!" replied Squint. "Old Jerome Coffern is where he won't never give us nothin' to worry about!"
