bed one of
the gold pieces. "Your image stamped on all of them. Also 'Ivan--Tsar.
In God We Trust.'"

"Okay," Cletus said, shuffling a little, then brightening. "Anyhow,
I'll have Nishka."

"Not if the common folks find out she worked for the MVD." As if to
punctuate Nick's prophesy, a dozen bombs exploded inside police
headquarters.

"Heck!" Cletus shrugged resignedly. "Well, lend me that hat, and
conjure up a couple million tons of soap--not perfumed."

Roaring with laughter, Nick promised to spread soap over the entire
country, then watched the little imp zooming back and forth across Red
Square--sprinkling the snowy pavement with Ivan-Tsar pieces of gold.

The Satanic laughter lasted till Nick had whizzed half way across
Chaos. "That caper," he told himself gleefully, "will fool The BBU
about my plan. Or, will it? Great Hades! I did a _good_ deed."

A million miles above the wastes of Chaos, he remembered he still wore
Volonsky whose shade would still be imprisoned in the Pravda room.
Nick shucked out of his unpleasant quarters, halted to watch the thing
spinning downward.

"Cheer up, Vych," he laughed. "Next century I'll gather up what's left
and give it back to you--maybe."
