Hide and Seek

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in... Soft Spence. In a moment, act one of hired and seek, starring Jackson Beck and William Redfield, and written especially for suspense by Bob Corcoran. This first portion of suspense is brought to you by the makers of Marlboro cigarettes.

Why don't you settle back and have a full-flavored smoke? Have a Marlboro. You get a lot to like with a Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the un-filtered taste. Try Marlboro. Plus soul cry of a lake steamer fell under the sleeping Chicago street like a wet feather, sending out ripples of fear that washed against a dandy man who would soon die.

A nerve kept jumping under his eye. His hands were sticky. He stared out the window, forcing himself to go through the routine he created. and stopped at the all-night cigar store no matter how late.

And had his shoes shined so he could go home with a clean pair. It was one of the reasons they called him Dandy. But he wasn't enjoying it tonight. Never would again. He came off the shoe shine chair like a dancer, moved to the door of the store.

Nothing either way. A half dollar glittered in the light and disappeared as the boy snapped it out of the air. Thanks, kid. You, Mr. Zanschles. The street stretched ahead. Heartcars empty. Some old newspaper blowing.

Big city tumbleweed. Dandy caught his reflection in a store window and had to stop in spite of his nervousness and desire to get away. A practiced hand rolled to the brim of his hat and the winds are not of his tie, got pushed to perfection.
