I!< _ M | CHAPTER 1 TEN thousand feet above Lon don's usual October fog, i fast two-seater German seou plane dipped ghost-like through thi night-sky, ita motor idling. At i word from the pilot, the lone passen ger thrust his arms into the sleevei of a suit of browni'h-black cover alia, already covering the rest of hii body. He lipped the eover-alla shut concealing the British-tailoret lounge suit he wore beneath. Now he was only a bag, with a sharp pale face peen ng out. Frowning with concentration, thi pilot nosed the plane gently down watting—obviously for a radio message His br>w cleared. "Jetat!’’ he ordered sharply. The man in the eover-alla stood up, fingered hie webbed parachuteharness, making sure it waa is place. 1 Hfil Ihtltr!” "IM Hitltrl" I The pilot gunned the motor. The man in the cover-alls dived overboard, plummeting down toward the wide-spreading fog-curtain. In a little while the parachute billowed out, dirt-brown and ominous. Presently, man and parachute merged with fog, and became invisible, a silent menace descending on the sleeping land below. The lightened airplane elimbed swiftly, wheeled and turned back toward Germany. • •• In the study of his I-ondon home, a brisk five-minute walk from the British Intelligence Office, Sir John Sanderson scanned the reports, marked "Secret and Urgent" just brought by hia confidential aide, Captain Hugh Kenley. "The deni!” rasped Sir John. "Another Nau 'chute! And down in Watford—almost in our lap!" “Yes sir," said Kenley. "An A R. P. constable found it, tueked under a brush-pile." Sir John looked unhappy. "Wall, that means we've one more of Adolf's Fifth Columnists to hunt down. Cheeky duffer — dropping down that near London! Nothing much we can do either. A young woman is supposed to have picked him up in a yellow Bentley roadster. By now, he's probably contacted our friend Captain Ajas and gotten orders for whatever devilment's in hand.'* Kenley nodded. "Speaking of A fas, Sir, I'm afraid I brought you more bad news of him. That report in front of you, Sir; from our No. 29, the one with the letter—" "X*. y*»- I have it." Sir John rapid!y read the paper indicated. What—what's thia? Why, eon- . found it, man, this can’t be! There must be some mistake! "Sorry, sir. It's all correct. I've cheeked it carefully — handwriting and all. I'm afraid 'Ajax' has scored again. Mara has betrayed us.. That woman wouldn't do such a thing—for love only!” "Two of them have before," his aide pointed out. “Two cf the boot. This makes ‘hree He must be quite a fellow—that ehap ‘Ajax’." Sir John read the report again, then the letter, penned in a ly feminine hand... ."I realise too late what I have done. ~ . Cannot betray him even now because I am madly, desperately in 10ve.... But .. I must warn you for the sake of the others.... I ean no longer trust myself.... I will do anything HE U’lH mF. ... Anything! , t * I beg of you, don't tend any more women after him. . . . Ifg no use - . . Hen only do with them M °h. did with me.... He must have taken the list while I slept, but I am afraid I wouid have given it to him any’tU.L kn ® w therc *• '” lly one thing left for me ... that, or . . God end England forgive me.” 1 The letter was signed: "Mara 29.” Sir John pushed the letter away. Incredible! She’s worked with me for a long time. I have trusted her absolutely." m'T*? d ‘ d you get that exotie . Yw,n * Ke "’*y asked. Sir John waved hia hand with an ImMbite goeturo -. “I met her in Cairo, she said she ■as boro in Saloniki..
