We trust that with this tale we shall keep you in. Ssssss, hey. For a suspense tonight, CBS presents Stuart Irwin in Two Sharp Knives by D'Aishel Hammet. Shortly after 2 a.m. A poker game had just broken up at Denkhamdley's, the doctor coroner of Deerwood City.

Scott Henderson, Deerwood's chief of police, and Wally Shane, his assistant, was standing out. Where are we heading, Forrest Scott? It's well crossed the street, Wally. There's a rotation. See, aren't you afraid of the excitement, Chief?

Don't you think that watching the 211 come in has apt to be too much for your blood pressure? Well, it is, Wally. You can always carry on. You've been a pretty good imitation of an assistant to me for some time now.

Yeah? Yeah. If anything happens to me, you'd be the Chief. Don't worry. We'll be any harder for you to fool the publicist, Chief. Hi, Homer. Howdy, Scott. Hey, hello, well, can't wait for your boys to be around, anything?

No, I don't know. We sort of figured we'd put the town to bed tonight. How's the 211 on time? Right on the nose. You ought to be blowing for the bend in just about three seconds now.
