well this will give you another laugh but i'm going down to that building where we left barrack this morning i'm still curious about him i see sandy said do you ken smiled briefly well that's more than i do but somehow i he broke off and pulled a heavy sweater on over his shirt

10917

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

sandy froze where he was and finding himself before a chewing gum slot machine tried to look as if he had been busy inserting pennies into it for some time ken who had been slightly farther behind had time to step behind a protective pillar

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

it doesn't concern you ken told him and it's got nothing to do with the box he began to change into a pair of tweed slacks and a flannel shirt i was obviously way off the beam about that you were probably mistaken about the weight of it the first time and if we accept that then there's no reason to think there's anything fishy about the box at all

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

but the station was fairly well occupied they didn't dare let the man get too far away before they followed him sandy took up the chase ken intercepted him as he came past let me take the lead he may have seen you drop behind

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

sandy took off the jacket of his suit and began to unbutton his shirt it was ken's turn to ask a question what are you changing your clothes for sandy looked surprised for the same reason you are so we'll look a little different from the way we did this morning just to be on the safe side

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

don't be a dope ken told him you don't have to come along this is my hunch and it's my he stopped and it's my father that's what you were going to say weren't you sandy demanded

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

you'd better stay up here ken said i'll go down on the platform but try to get down in time to get on the train he takes a local train came into the station shortly after ken descended the stairs

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

we'll both follow him but not too close together ken went on and if one of us should lose him if we should get separated we'll meet at the museum at ten o'clock the icy minutes dragged slowly by but actually it was barely seven o'clock when ken caught sight of barrack

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

if you don't think that dark glasses will look crazy in the dead of winter sandy began they're a protection against snow blindness ken told him go on put them on they walked quickly their chins buried in their coat collars until they reached the corner of barrack's block

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

in their new order with ken dogging the man's footsteps as closely as he thought was safe they went through the maze of corridors and passageways that brought them to the crosstown shuttle train terminal

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

they watched him board a car by its center door and then screened by other riders they entered the same car by the doors on either end the train was an express and had rocketed its way downtown without a stop until it reached times square

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

his query ignored it pacing up and down with the package held lightly beneath his arm suddenly the man made for the stairs he had just come down ken bounded after him glad that sandy was on guard on the upper level

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

from side to side the man was nowhere in sight where'd he go ken asked quickly coming up beside sandy i don't know sandy spoke between clenched teeth

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

ken had no real reason to suspect that barrack was a criminal or that barrack's knowledge of his father's address was actually incriminating evidence but ken also knew that he himself wouldn't be satisfied

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

for a moment neither of them spoke sandy busied himself getting dressed but ken knew that sandy too was remembering the occasion when richard holt's nose for the news had brought him into a serious danger when he had learned more than was safe for him to know about a certain criminal activities

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

check ken's prophecy was accurate they boys took up positions on the station platform on either side of the barrack to make sure he didn't leave by another entrance and only moving in toward their quarry when the train flowed to a stop before them

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

he saw the redhead first when he reached the top and then just beyond him the man they were both following sandy rounded a corner only a few yards behind the men ken trailed him but as he rounded the corner himself he saw sandy standing still turning his head

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

is that all ken's voice cracked on the words unfortunately yes lausch nodded so many of them were made at the time you see it used to be apparently a small money box they can be found in numerous antique shops

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

he waited there until barrack passed by and then sauntered slowly in the man's wake giving sandy a chance to pass him as sandy went by ken said quietly i'll be behind you looks like he's heading for the seventy-second street subway station

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

two chairs at the table had been tipped forward to mark the places as reserved barrack set his tray down in front of one of them rightened the chair and sat down he put the package he was carrying it was about the size of a small suit box on the floor near his feet

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

the boys reached the building in ninth avenue a few minutes before twelve o'clock just as the first trickle of workers began to emerge on their way to lunch from a lobby across the street they watched the trickle swell into a steady stream

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

until he learned a little more about the affable mr barrack so sandy's reaction didn't surprise him once ken had let sandy see that he was really worried his red-headed friend would naturally insist upon standing by

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

let's try this he said and dove for a flight of steps that led to another section of downtown subway platforms they had just left there was an express train waiting in the station when they reached the bottom of the stairs but its doors were already beginning to slide shut

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

there were fewer people abroad in that neighborhood the boys could fall farther behind and still keep their quarry in sight at ninth avenue barrack waited for a traffic light and then hurried past the halted vehicles

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

ken made one more effort to keep sandy out of what he believed to be his own problem you're going to give me a guilt complex he said if you get frostbite standing

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

a familiar shape caught ken's eyes the man who had broken his watch crystal the man who had picked up barrack's package was squeezing himself through one rapidly narrowing entrance

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

one by one the cars went past at a swiftly increasing speed and then the train disappeared entirely except for the winking red light on the last car growing smaller and smaller in the dark tunnel of the subway ken let himself sag wearily against a pillar

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

sandy glanced longingly toward the warm steamy interior but he didn't argue barrack was out again in less than fifteen minutes to continue his rapid pace westward sandy moved out into the stream of pedestrians in his wake

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

barrack didn't even look up as the train stood in the station there he was engrossed in a newspaper but at thirty fourth street the next stop he made his way hurriedly out of the car when he reached the street the boys were both fairly close behind him and ken cautiously dropped back another twenty feet

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

and ken fell into position behind him barrack turned south when he reached eighth avenue and walked along the busy truck crowded street until he passed the rear of pennsylvania station at thirty-second street he swung westward again to walk briskly past the block long bulk of new york's main post office

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

but when i came around the corner right behind him he was already gone he could be anywhere his gesture took in an exit to the street level and three stairways leading down various train platforms ken thought quickly if the man had disappeared that fast he must have gone down the nearest stairway

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

barrack walked west on thirty-fourth street at a rapid pace until he turned abruptly and entered a cafeteria sandy waited on the sidewalk until ken came up do we go in better not you stand inside the doorway here and i'll take the one behind the cafeteria

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

do you want me to go sulking around in corners for the rest of my life because i broke a promise he stood up are you ready for a moment their eyes met and they both grinned yes ken said then i'm ready

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

the boys dashed for another door in the same car ken's fingers grabbed for the rubber edge of the panel in an effort to prevent it from closing but he was too late it slid shut with a small final thud the train lurched into motion

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

leaned comfortably against a radiator why didn't we find this spot this morning he asked this is my idea of comfortable sleuthing when he came swiftly erect there he is let's go

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

ken and sandy glanced around saw no sign of barrack and slid through the crowd to study the building's directory on the rear wall it was obvious from the names listed on it that the entire building was devoted to printers paper dealers and ink companies

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

when the second hand on ken's new chronometer had ticked off two full minutes they drifted into the lobby with the stream of workers obviously hurrying toward an eight o'clock deadline the four elevators along one wall each swallowed up a dozen or more with every ascent

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

a moment later he vanished from sight through the doorway of a huge building sandy waited for ken to catch up and they stood for a moment on the sidewalk either he'll come right out again or he'll take an elevator ken said

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

barrack was just coming through the doorway carrying half a dozen small cartons he paused at a large mailbox designed for packages standing against the building wall and began to drop the cartons in

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

one after the other the largest proved too big for the opening and barrack propped it up on top of the mailbox instead then with one package still tucked securely under his arm he walked the few steps to the corner and waited for a light he apparently intended to walk westward on thirty-second street

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

in almost the same instant ken saw sandy sidestep into a shop doorway he waited there until ken came up ken stopped and pretended to stare through the glass at the display of hardware and tools where he continued to watch barrack you see what i see sandy said ken nodded

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

that's funny sandy said what would he be doing at a printing trade center i guess we were right after all he was lying about where he worked i didn't say that ken reminded him

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

they found a sheltered doorway a few yards down the block and did their best to keep warm by stamping their feet but the icy chill crept through their overcoats and into their very bones at nine o'clock sandy said grimly

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

and an employee of the tobacco mart might have a perfectly legitimate business in a place like this maybe he came to pick up a batch of labels or printed containers he glanced at his watch let's wait outside awhile and see if he comes back down and goes some place else to chatham square say

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

then he began to eat his single sandwich washing down the mouthfuls with swallows of coffee an irritated voice snarled at ken's elbow that's the sixth time you've rinsed out that water glass are you going to stay here all day

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

i've had enough of this i'll agree to anything barrack lied about the tobacco mart he's really a printer or he's an international crook who steals rubies to melt down into red ink which he ships around in iron boxes

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

very interesting very interesting sandy said in a curious choked voice sintelli was quite surprised at your third question lausch went on

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

you mean the night your father got back when the door was found open in the morning you think barrack was here then ken nodded barrack or someone involved with him how else would he have known this address

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

you take him ken said i'll be along in a minute he dashed across the street between rumbling trucks and took a swift look at the package barrack had left outside the box then he turned and crossed ninth avenue again in plenty of time to fall in a few steps behind sandy

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

barrack was following the same route that he had taken that morning in reverse as he neared the cafeteria where he had stopped for breakfast ken gave a start up ahead apparently waiting for someone at the cafeteria entrance stood the man whose broken watch crystal sam morris had repaired on christmas eve

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

a hasty glance through the wide plate-glass front of the big self-service restaurant assured them that it was very crowded i think it's safe to go in ken muttered as long as we're careful to keep out of their way

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

it sure is a small world sandy muttered and brother when you get a hunch it is a hunch i certainly didn't expect this ken assured him barrack had reached the cafeteria door he entered briskly through the revolving door

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

then if barrack does work here we ought to be able to pick him up again maybe i told you i'll agree to anything sandy said starting toward the lunch line sign he had spotted a block away anyway by noon we'll have the information from lausch and maybe you'll be willing to call this whole thing off

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

good the little expert beamed sintelli has just sent back your box and the answers to all your questions but come in come in and sit down near the heater you must be cold if you walked here from your friend holt's apartment

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

funnier and funnier sandy muttered did you see that barrack walked right past him ken nodded barrack had certainly seen the man he had actually brushed against him as he entered but neither had given any sign of recognition

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

ah sandy said under his breath if that's all we've done but at a glare from ken he broke off and moved toward the chair lausch was pulling into place for them first lausch said a moment later smoothing out a sheet of notes on his desk you want to know if the box is really old

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

and don't tell me sandy said that they couldn't recognize each other not after they drove together for a couple hundred miles look ken said now mr watch crystal is going inside too come on sandy said they began to move toward the cafeteria

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

have it any way you like but if i don't get some hot coffee pretty soon alright ken interrupted to sandy's amazement this doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere i'll agree to leave here now after all we have to get to the museum anyway if you agree to coming back here around noon

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

this is the first time i ever went into a restaurant with my mind on something besides food sandy said go ahead i'll follow you in a minute we'll be less conspicuous that way meet you at the tray counter if the coast is clear

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

this is supposed to be our christmas vacation remember i you'll feel better when you've got some breakfast ken assured him they did feel considerably better although sandy was still mumbling dire forebodings about frostbite on both feet when lausch opened his office doors to them an hour later

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

he probably wanted to find out how much we knew or suspect ken said well sandy told him grimly you may suspect plenty but even you don't know anything he started briskly across the room he looked perfectly alright to me

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

ken looked around into a pair of eyes as irritated as the voice sorry he muttered and moved away we'd better get a sandwich ourselves sandy suggested we'll be less noticeable doing that than hanging around here

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

he doesn't know why you thought such a box as this might have been stolen from a museum or anywhere else they're not valuable or rare enough to merit inclusion in a collection or to merit the risk of stealing for that matter

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

ken will have to refer to his crystal ball for an explanation of that sandy murmured lausch glanced at him questioningly i don't quite understand you nothing nothing sandy said hesitantly let's see there was one further question wasn't there

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

inside the great brightly lighted room rimmed with service counters hundreds of men and women were milling around intent on collecting a trayful of food or if already laden with trays on finding a vacant table where they could eat

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

they made sure that neither barrack nor the second man looked their way as they hesitantly collected a pair of corned beef sandwiches and two glasses of milk then they sought out a table from which they could continue their observations

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

sandy shrugged he might have learned it in a hundred different ways but suppose for a minute you're right in that case why would he come back here now why wouldn't he avoid us

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

he smiled at them over his glasses it is definitely sintelli didn't make any spectroscopic tests of the metal but he said that it wasn't necessary he is quite certain the box was made not less than three hundred years ago

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_08_campbell_64kb.mp3

they had just managed to find satisfactory places when sam morris's former customer moved away from the food counter his tray was crowded it was easy to see why he had taken so long to collect his lunch he made his way straight between the crowded tables to the one where barrack sat

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

and besides their own charm lies in the fact that being homemade no two are exactly alike an exact duplication would seem pointless and a modern craftsman would probably charge more to make such a thing than you would pay for an original box but it could be duplicated if there was any reason for doing such a thing

10917

10786

http://www.archive.org/download/ironbox_1611_librivox/ironbox_07_campbell_64kb.mp3

he picked up the phone book and leafed through it the tobacco market so that part of his story wasn't invented at least it's on chatham square that's down at the edge of chinatown isn't it
