LONE WOLF
A Short Story
By JACK WOODFORD

IT WAS two A. M. But a visitor from out of town would never have suspected it. Traffic in Lake Shore Drive below was continuous. There was only the slight tinkle of glass to mark the Spider's entry. He has carefully chipped the glass from above a window lock that gave upon the fire escape.

Sliding open the window noiselessly, he crept into the living room. Pulled down the shade behind him. Turned his flashlight on. Looked about. Nothing in particular attracted his gaze.

He tiptoed to the door- pushed it open slowly, furtively. The sight which greeted his eyes in the next room almost made him gasp aloud, practised as he was. A feminine figure bent of the sideboard drawers, carefully laying out knives, forks and spoons. Heavy, gleaming silver they were; silver to make one's mouth water.

The woman was so intent upon what she was doing that she had hear nothing. Her flashlight lay upon the edge of the sideboard, reflecting light upon her task. A long strip of black velvet was spread out to receive her booty. The Spider grinned and pushed open the door boldly. Flashed his light full upon her.

"Not a move, sister!" he ordered. "I got you covered. Don't make me shoot a woman. That's one thing I ain't ever done."

After a gasp of surprise she straightened up.

"Where do you fit?" she asked sharply.

"This is rich," the Spider told her. "Two of us working the same apartment on the same night. Sure it getting to be a busy town, ain't it?"

"Sure is," she agreed; but, after all, I was here first."

"And, seeing as how you're a lady, I supposed I ought at least to split with you."
"Split!'" she echoed. "I don't see where you come in at all. Go find a lay of your own."
