chapter xv The car whirled through ■ gats tot in a kmc fence of elaborately wrought iron and servant* ported aentry-like bowed eery low aa the ear rushed in up a palm-shaded avenue toward a km*, low strut* tura of imposing dimensions. So this was the residence of Ben Yamra Hasid Pasha? Apparently the Egyptian's concept of a "small cocktall party” included the paa—wu of guest* brought by acme thirty or forty cars. Oddly engugh. as North put foot on steps covered by a runner es deep crimson, he re-eipenmred that icy little trickle of apprehension down I his spine. "Until leter, too* amt,” Katika murmured when a very dark Moorish footman indicated the coatrooms. Emerging, the man from 0-2 was taken in tow by a solemn, overstuffed English butler and conducted through a courtyard in which many persons stood about a graceful fountain drinking tenor s.pping cocktails. "This way pleaae, air,” the butler murmured when North slowed at if to linger in the court. "Hi* Eieallency instructed me to show you to the magsnne room. He is engaged, but will join you in a moment” I/eft to himself. North sought the Franch window of a small but pleaaaat reading room opening off an inner eourt and lingered there watchinff a pair of coral tinted flawing—s etalk about among lilies glowing in a shallow pool. How pleasantly cool it «as in here - and quiet. Ben Yemen Hasid, North promptly saw, was a connoisseur of furniture, paintings and rugs; and whoever had conceived the mansion's decorative scheme was a master of h!a art. . . . North started! What was that rustling sound? He reached the corridor just in time to sae a girt ateaithiiy glance aver her shonlder, and slip Tnta a roam two doors away.. .. Almost as silently and quite aa rapidly he started in pursuit of the prowler and followed her to a small study. .Somewhere * door creaked open. whereupon the dark baired young woman darted behind a banging and ant es sight. North UfcnwJae took cover la the doubtful shelter of a bookcase Hasid Paths'• nervous votes drew nearer. ”,... But my dear Colonel, your assumption u baseless. I pm a«t interested In such a proposition On the ether hand, you will net regret it it or—you follow my sag •fwi jnn •* North, ia his shallow refuge, kept hi* era riveted oa the h.ddea girl's figure Battened behind e hanging of fm India wink One hand was loot In the depths of her hog and her feet werr adjusting themselves fe- seme sudden movement. Diettnetly he could see her rounded jew set itself and the color fade ia her face. "Okay. Pasha. But right n«p I'm not saying 'yes', and !'m not saying 'a*.' I’ll think things over and give you a buu tomorrow.” Through that door across the room swung Stag Mrlhorns talking cainaaUy to Hasid Pasha.

Rigid and atraight as a caryatid, she remained breathless, immobile, when Hasid Pasha and his companion walked by. "Think over what I have seid,” invited Hasid Pasha. “I am sure that anyone of your intelligence will see the sensible course.” Presently the clacking of their heel* died away on the polished parquet floor of the hall. The girl, very trim in a gray tailored suit and yellow blouse, muttered something in a foreign isnguage Suddenly the girl darted from her hiding place and tried to escape into the courtyard, but North was far too auick. In a twinkle he had ona hand on her handbag and the other on her elbow, “Will you let me go?" she biased. I'jlng to aquirm Irons his grasp, “Keep out of this!" ”1 shall do neither and aniens you give me enme plausible tsplanatiou. 11! eal! Hasid Pasha and let him handle this I daresay he’d be very interested to learn that a guest of his had coma to tea with an automatic in her pretty little bag.” The unknown struggled furiously, brilliant lips writhing; color, welling Into h-r face, rendered it not the less attractive. All at once she looked piteovs. "Please, pleas#! l-rt me go. I e*n explain everything! You are Interfering in a matter of vital importance. Thousands of people may dla if you interfere.” She was vibrant with aarnestnesa. “What do you mean?” "Hasid ia net what you think. He'« a menace.” “I eee. and you were going to he judgu.
