which is something you don't run into every day. A
strange handwrot disc shaped thing with what looked like the
face of a clock on it, twelve Arabic symbols where

The first, the most obvious, and ultimately the correct choice,
was a planty nightclub known that the town's well heeled
party folks as.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
The Veil of Kashmir.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It was dark when I got there, but the front
doors hadn't opened yet. Around at the side an alley
led up to the trade entrance, next to which stood
a huge, wedge shaped character with a swarthy complexion, mind
by a sky down one sheek, and to make him
even more oppenheimish, he was wrapped in a black tent
sized opera cloak. I nodded politely, he spat, and I
went inside the veil of Kashmir is a sumptuous distro
(12:38):
even on ordinary knights, and this night was obviously to be.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
More than ordinary.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
The table across the end of the floor was banquet sized.
The place was hung with Kashmiri's flag and the picture
of an old man who looked for me.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It was hung from the middle of one wall.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
A naitre D was talking to an important looking gent
near the long table, and I walked over to them,
pausing only to note one of the dancing girls practicing
in a corner in her shalamar type costume.

of twelve you see here from the hands point to four. Yes,
the fourth member this means the hand.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Straight out is the beida.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You seem to know what you are talking about, headwaiter.
Kashmir culture is a hobby of my excellency. This is
an ancient how do you say, subversive organization, dating from
the time of the Moreal conquest of the sixteenth century.
Very interesting but of little significance. Now the circle of
twelve has been dead for three centuries. If you will

He just made it to the table, swept the sugar
bowl off it, and followed it to the deck.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When I saw the.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Dagger in his back, I grabbed my gun and set
sail for the alley, looking for the clot that went
with it. But he was gone, so was Achman. I
bent down over him, took a closer look, and saw
while he stilled the sugar with his finger, he pasted
the design in it around design.

The circle of twelve. You are listening to the.

Cloak and Dagger Caper tonight said venture with Sam Staid,
Well Joe, all the ingredients of a first class international gulash.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We're here. The cloak, the dagger, the man with a
scar in his face, the lady with a veil over hers,
and two corpses.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
When I've done it, had completed activities with Corps number
one at my apartment, so I hustle him down to
the Veil of Kashmir and put him to work on
number two. Then I hustled back to my office. The
big question had that's for the answer another.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Oh, I was trying to call you for all about right.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And the.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Probably not, but it doesn't matter the way now what
about okmen?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
He was gritting out of his wits. He said somebody
was going to kill him, and I told him he
sounded just the wrong place because he was slung and
grave and wonderful, good and can.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
He cried good, good good, but wait wait, wait, hold
it fair. What happened when all the crying was over,
I said.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Not to see you, jam, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
He told you somebody was going to kill him.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
That's all. Yes, damn, that's why he was crying.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You say, that's the way Ackland was crying.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Why he didn't care for himself.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He's he's just a selfless, generous time angel child who
was ocmand crying over what is paper in all the papers.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Sam, the Chronicle and the Examiner and the Call, and
and even on the cover of Time this week.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
A banklist. That's whose picture of was.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Darwall Hallara, the Prime Minister's kashmir a little bit more
than any sad on him.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
The hope sa Asia Teutry.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Oxmd Sam not from Seu Su said they're going to
kill said jawaile Ho.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Two paragraphs later, my passitarian secretary, let's slip the information
at Shalamar had arrived at the office five minutes after
Okmed left and departed from my home and heart loaded
for bear. The hullabaloo over you, Dawara, all was due
to the fact that you were at this moment arriving
on the steamer Pacifica en route to Washington, with, as
the article put it, the destiny of the Middle East
in your briefcase. Ten minutes later, I was fighting my
(18:39):
way through the mob at twer forty two. Not just
a mob, mind too, but an assortment of bands, a
Hindu delegation, the full membership of the Samskrit Society at
the University of California, with a huge banner reading Jawara,
how We're with you, and an overripe soprano on a
pedestal singing hel hands, I love. I struggled through this
to the curb just in time to see you pull
away in your special limousine, then climbed over some more
(19:01):
backs to a phone book.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
He sim.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Gage me to come to it like put see. But
there's the sam stade missus scene.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Oh yes, As.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The Prime Minister arrived, thereat you any mean right, and
you better call out the guard. They're going to try
to assassinate him tonight, My good man.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Do you realize, my good man, I know whereof I
speak the restaurant, Ahmed.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yes, you're getting the idea, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
If the old circle of twelve with a brand new
page art not get on it. My next move may
sound for you like a combination of negligence, indolence.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And on wigal. But I must remind you that I
was not employed on this paper. Was receiving no site
then for risking my ever loving neck. And I added
up the figures and the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Of primary interest to me, namely the lady who tried
to kill me on page two. I therefore entrusted responsibility
for your health and that of the Middle East of
the Proconsole, made my way home, put on my slippers
and set the lazy Susan on the floor, this time
for fready to play with it.
Speaker 5 (20:11):

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Do you think you could talk me out of it?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
That's the last thing in mind.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I'd never.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Everything happened at once, as near as I can recall
it again. When Cloak and Dagger back down to Freddie's tail,
Freddie yells found like a top and seeing d off balance,
put his other foot on aunt adelaide, lazy susan. Hardly
a place for a big, off balanced man. The place
is only a remaining foot about that. I kicked him
my son a gadge at the gun, which skidded into
a corner, and we went over and over for a
while c and he tore at my.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Suit, at his claws and teeth.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I beat his head with an ashtray, and Freddy sat
quietly in the corner and.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Washed himself at length.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Tiring of the ashtray, I beat his head on the
radiator and deer cloak and Dagger gave it up with
a long, unhappy sigh.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Say this is a.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Bitters apathetic got out of my way, head waiter or off.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Walk right over that white shirt front? Please have they
conserved anything else? This bineas just coming on.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
I wait, wait a score, and now now, my countrymen,
before we introduce our guests, Honora waa halbara, I'll beloved
five minutes. I suggest we rise and hold our country.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You cause me may she I had poe counsel.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Don't let me interrupt, Please not here signing remarcus, what
is the meaning of this? Aren't you're going to ask
me I'm supposed to be dead that what's throwing industry?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Please is about to be drown? Where's my drink? Pro counsilmen?
Speaker 1 (24:38):

Speaker 4 (24:43):
For the hosts to exchange glasses with the guests of honor.
Permit me to.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Cause me.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And the moral of this story, if there is one, is,
when danger it threatens, don't hire a bodyguard, buy a
cat and a lazy susan period.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
End of report science.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Why does people do these things?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh? We all have different loyalties. That's different ideas of

Have you ever seen one of these before?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Hm?
Speaker 7 (14:05):
What is it? A secret society medallion?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I tell me who?
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Who tells you this?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Atadurian Popper and the little Storial store on Grand Avenue
know anything about it? Secret society is right? A circle
of twelve you see here from the hands point to four. Yes,
the fourth member this means the hand.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Straight out is the beida.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
You seem to know what you are talking about, headwaiter.
Kashmir culture is a hobby of my excellency. This is
an ancient how do you say, subversive organization, dating from
the time of the Moreal conquest of the sixteenth century.
Very interesting but of little significance. Now the circle of
twelve has been dead for three centuries. If you will
(14:50):
exclude me, excellency, I'll get for mister state as much address,
and then.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I will call it a.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
He just made it to the table, swept the sugar
bowl off it, and followed it to the deck.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
When I saw the.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Dagger in his back, I grabbed my gun and set
sail for the alley, looking for the clot that went
with it. But he was gone, so was Achman. I
bent down over him, took a closer look, and saw
while he stilled the sugar with his finger, he pasted
the design in it around design.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
The circle of twelve. You are listening to the.
Speaker 1 (15:33):

Speaker 6 (16:20):

Speaker 1 (16:22):
The chimes are your invitation, and now back to the
Cloak and Dagger Caper tonight said venture with Sam Staid,
Well Joe, all the ingredients of a first class international gulash.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We're here. The cloak, the dagger, the man with a
scar in his face, the lady with a veil over hers,
and two corpses.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
When I've done it, had completed activities with Corps number
one at my apartment, so I hustle him down to
the Veil of Kashmir and put him to work on
number two. Then I hustled back to my office. The
big question had that's for the answer another.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Oh, I was trying to call you for all about right.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And the.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Probably not, but it doesn't matter the way now what
about okmen?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
He was gritting out of his wits. He said somebody
was going to kill him, and I told him he
sounded just the wrong place because he was slung and
grave and wonderful, good and can.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
He cried good, good good, but wait wait, wait, hold
it fair. What happened when all the crying was over,
I said.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Not to see you, jam, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
He told you somebody was going to kill him.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
That's all. Yes, damn, that's why he was crying.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You say, that's the way Ackland was crying.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Why he didn't care for himself.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
He's he's just a selfless, generous time angel child who
was ocmand crying over what is paper in all the papers.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Sam, the Chronicle and the Examiner and the Call, and
and even on the cover of Time this week.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
A banklist. That's whose picture of was.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Darwall Hallara, the Prime Minister's kashmir a little bit more
than any sad on him.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
The hope sa Asia Teutry.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Oxmd Sam not from Seu Su said they're going to
kill said jawaile Ho.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Two paragraphs later, my passitarian secretary, let's slip the information
at Shalamar had arrived at the office five minutes after
Okmed left and departed from my home and heart loaded
for bear. The hullabaloo over you, Dawara, all was due
to the fact that you were at this moment arriving
on the steamer Pacifica en route to Washington, with, as
the article put it, the destiny of the Middle East
in your briefcase. Ten minutes later, I was fighting my
(18:39):
way through the mob at twer forty two. Not just
a mob, mind too, but an assortment of bands, a
Hindu delegation, the full membership of the Samskrit Society at
the University of California, with a huge banner reading Jawara,
how We're with you, and an overripe soprano on a
pedestal singing hel hands, I love. I struggled through this
to the curb just in time to see you pull
away in your special limousine, then climbed over some more
(19:01):
backs to a phone book.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
He sim.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Gage me to come to it like put see. But
there's the sam stade missus scene.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Oh yes, As.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
The Prime Minister arrived, thereat you any mean right, and
you better call out the guard. They're going to try
to assassinate him tonight, My good man.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Do you realize, my good man, I know whereof I
speak the restaurant, Ahmed.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yes, you're getting the idea, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
If the old circle of twelve with a brand new
page art not get on it. My next move may
sound for you like a combination of negligence, indolence.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
And on wigal. But I must remind you that I
was not employed on this paper. Was receiving no site
then for risking my ever loving neck. And I added
up the figures and the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Of primary interest to me, namely the lady who tried
to kill me on page two. I therefore entrusted responsibility
for your health and that of the Middle East of
the Proconsole, made my way home, put on my slippers
and set the lazy Susan on the floor, this time
for fready to play with it.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I'm interesting that when was that?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's elder my girl, he whispered, let's
have the plan.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
So that's Plutonian poland rocket ship.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Somehow this all seems largic on ever, she rather death,
mister G.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Two, than to betray my country quiet trading. Oh no, no, no,
not that, buddy, it's a fade. Oh hello, pro Console,
May I do do do? I have taken every precaution,
Prime Minister. He's on his way to the banquet now going.
There's one thing I must hostle you well, epsolute secrecy,
(20:49):
the mere knowledge that's such an organization, as if this
circle of twelve exists will give added strength to a
disloyal opposition in our country that may express itself in
a manner of disasters to our books is in sending
to Washington.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Do you understand me.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
My leu. It's taken me a while.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I learned the ground rules in the International League, and
I get the general idea.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Are you you were spoken of this school?
Speaker 9 (21:10):
No while?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
No? Oh, excuse me, hello, this is Haddi and Papa start.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Oh yes, it took me a great deal of long
time to check my record, mister Spade, But I family
found there. Oh what's that the gentlemen who bought the
set of First Cause Miry medallions like the one you
saw me my shop.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Oh yes, yes, his name is ras.
Speaker 3 (21:32):

he is.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Oh. Oh well, guys, thanks Dorothy. This is Haddian Ja
Papa Star. I found it just now, Dorothy.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And for all you've done for Alice, the least she
could do is thank you. And you can tell her
that for me. Aw bye, honey, So long you though,
Holy ship.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Let's say, now where we're we.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Are you had just giving me you're a shoe, you
would maintain set the secrecy in this unfortunate matter. Oh yes, sir,
Now I must go. They're expecting me at the banquet there.
Thank you again, not at all. Your service to our
country and the world will find the expression, I hope
on some later days.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Good night, good night, ready please not now.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
Down a fall?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Well, Folk and Dagger in the flesh going modern.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
No name of that gun? What if I told you
I'd already made the call, I'd say you a lion.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
The line is taped outside.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You'll figure the angle testing in my business? I have
to when's it coming off?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
For the Prime Minister? Any minute?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
For you?
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Right now?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
He's got you fool too.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
They're right there.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Oh, rash Foot, you're a fall guy, you know, doing
a heavy stuff. If it kicks back, you get it
and the other ten labs.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Do you think you could talk me out of it?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
That's the last thing in mind.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I'd never.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Everything happened at once, as near as I can recall
it again. When Cloak and Dagger back down to Freddie's tail,
Freddie yells found like a top and seeing d off balance,
put his other foot on aunt adelaide, lazy susan. Hardly
a place for a big, off balanced man. The place
is only a remaining foot about that. I kicked him
my son a gadge at the gun, which skidded into
a corner, and we went over and over for a
while c and he tore at my.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Suit, at his claws and teeth.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I beat his head with an ashtray, and Freddy sat
quietly in the corner and.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Washed himself at length.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Tiring of the ashtray, I beat his head on the
radiator and deer cloak and Dagger gave it up with
a long, unhappy sigh.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Say this is a.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Bitters apathetic got out of my way, head waiter or off.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Walk right over that white shirt front? Please have they
conserved anything else? This bineas just coming on.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
I wait, wait a score, and now now, my countrymen,
before we introduce our guests, Honora waa halbara, I'll beloved
five minutes. I suggest we rise and hold our country.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You cause me may she I had poe counsel.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Don't let me interrupt, Please not here signing remarcus, what
is the meaning of this? Aren't you're going to ask
me I'm supposed to be dead that what's throwing industry?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Please is about to be drown? Where's my drink? Pro counsilmen?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Hm, there was at one time a costume in our country.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
For the hosts to exchange glasses with the guests of honor.
Permit me to.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Cause me.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And the moral of this story, if there is one, is,
when danger it threatens, don't hire a bodyguard, buy a
cat and a lazy susan period.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
End of report science.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Why does people do these things?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh? We all have different loyalties. That's different ideas of
our duty. My duty, for instance, is to pick up
a nod of my head and a soup ful of
holes once a week.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Will your duty is sam?
