Intended to go in with the gan?
and collect the . -money nimseii,
nfi nJok nn anything else that
was lying around ,and, because
latle Jan was known as a Deaig
crent child, he intended to cut off
' hSs arms and stick out one of his
eyes, and clip off his tongue. "He-
liye all right," said uutcn, - ev
' on ifrhe limns and stammers."
j "An furthermore," said Butch,
if the cops .make any trouble
rii shoot it out. see "
And now, Jan's godparents were
TEry, rery angry. But they didn't
show It much, because they are
bruized. And they didn't want to
shoot it out, because they didn't
haVe any disagreement with the
people they'd have to shoot, only
with Batch's gang, who had
rounded them all up.
i Also a line had been dropped to
them that there was considerable
trouble inside Buteh's ranks, and
a lot of his followers were slip
ping along the word that the head
was no bargain anyhow.
f So they kept calling up more
oops, all the time they were talk
ing reasonable.
J As is the custom in kidnaping
" cases, appeals to Buteh's better
nature were sent out on the cable
wires and oyer the radio from all
f the parts of the world, begging
him to hare a heart and spare the
" child.
j Butch had set a deadline: Let
us in on 3Jan and the property on
or before October 1st, or get ready
'' to shoot it out.
5 Nobody was paying much at
tention to little Jan, but he, and
his tutor, and the bodyguards,
went on acting with lots of spunk.
"Just tell those bullies that if
they're going to kill me, I'm go
ing to die on my feet," he said,
j "And I'ye still got a gun.
j Butch bowled with rage. "You
see, he said, "that Just shows how
dangerous that brat is." Nobody,
however, saw.
It was decided to contact Butch
again. Somebody thought of Luck
again. Somebody thought of
Lucky Spltale who lately had been
practically out of the papers, even
the tabloids only giving him a line
daw and then?
I ,?His picture was up in the post
, oftices. but the word went out
that the indictment might be
-waived if he'd act as a go-between.
Where to meet was a ques
tion. Butch couldn't very well
'move off the place, on account of
he'd have to bring practically an
army as ,i bodyguard, so John and
i Marianne, said Okay we'll meet
jjyou in your own headquarters.
! Probably Lucky slipped them a
f line that what Butch really want
j ed was no: so much the ransom
ias a chance to make an impression
I on his own gang, who were get
5 ting, sour.- "Let him ride in Jan's
estate in a great Mercedes car,
I and you can settle mere or less on
" fthe first price," he said. "You
i know Butch Is that way." Jan is
