As the world rejoices and conjectures, the powers of Evil plan a final, insidious joke on all humanity!

THE COMIN6 MIRACLE





IT just happened that General Ino was the first man who saw a truckload of policemen stop in front of the skyscraper which housed Doc Savage's New York headqtiarters. The general would have read about it in his newspaper, along with the rest of the world, a bit later, no doubt. But by seeing the truckload of policemen arrive. he got in on the ground floor, in a manner of speaking.



The general stopped to watch. He was interested in what the policemen had on their truck heavy lumber posts, barbed wire, and a keg of staples.
