Go-Between

And now stay tuned for the Mystery Program that is unique among all Mystery Programs. Because even when you know who's guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at the final curtain. In the Signal Oil Program, the Whistler.

Errrr, signal the famous Go-Father gasoline. Invite you to sit back and enjoy another strange story. By the Whistler.

For extra driving pleasure, the signal to look for is the yellow and black circle sign. that identifies signal service stations from Canada to Mexico. And for Sunday evening listening pleasure, the signal to listen for is this whistle that identifies the signal oil program, the Whistler.

I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors which they dare not speak.

And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler Strange Story. The go-between. The conversation in the parked car matched the surroundings. Low, quiet, ominous. In keeping with the isolated low-lying strip of marsh and dark trees some miles from any main thoroughfare.

The driver of the car didn't look at his companion as he spoke. He was staring at the gun in his hand, the flat, cold automatic. He kept turning it over as if something were very strange and unfamiliar to him.

Something that he wasn't sure he could use. The girl's eyes weren't on the gun but on him. And there was a strange look in her eyes. Something not at all easy to define. Love perhaps.

But quite possibly pity. You... You don't want to do it, child. You don't want to kill Ellen. Of course I don't want to kill my wife. But I realize it's the only thing to do.
