direction they would come to deliver their attack. Or when, so that we
would be ready. But you and Farmer--"

Colonel Welsh stopped talking, blinked his eyes, swallowed hard, and
smiled.

bottom of my heart that you two are fighting on our side. And, son--"

The Chief of U. S. Intelligence was about to add that the President of

"Radio silence at all cost, chump!" he growled at himself. "And stop
worrying about Freddy. He's somewhere right back there behind you. You
saw his ship as clear as could be only thirty minutes ago! So take it
easy."

Yes, only thirty minutes ago Freddy Farmer had been right there at his
right rear in the other plane. Sure! But kingdoms have fallen,
