Suddenly Bumper's voice called

"Hey. Mulligan! Are you up

Steve pulled Maggie back into
the darkness of the cave.
"Yes, it’s me,” Steve answered,
imitating Mulligan In voice and
accent. "And who wants me?”
"Ma Bumper Jackson. Any

"No,” shouted Steve. "There's no
Wasp up here at all. I been peekin’
all over the place.”
Til take the other side then,”
shouted Bumper. "Did you hear
about old Tom Logan?"
"What about him?” Steve held
his breath In fear as he waited for
Bumper’s answer.
"We got him—In the stomach—’’
For a moment Steve was unable
to find words.
"Is he — dead — ?” he asked
slowly. j
"Not yet,” cried Bumper. "They
