The confessed treason of Mara, act English spy, followed by ths murder of Capt. Hugh Kenley, have put Sir John Sanderson, British Intelligence chief, in a desparate quandary. Sir John's ward. Brinda Duncan, had given a lift in her car to a limping stranger whom she mistook for an Englishman. But be was a Nasi Sarachutist and, when leaving irinda s car. he shot Capt. Kenley. .. Brinda met Lieut. Richard Malden. a former beau, in the Intel!!* pence Office's ''rogues gallery.** He told her that his engagement to Gladys, daughter of Lord and Lady Mountwyn. is to be announced that evening. Brinda bad unpleasant memories of Gladys as a schoolmate. But Sir John and his ward went to tbo Mountwyn party, where Gladys proudly ebowed off the rapier-lihs Russian, Prince Vaslav, described by Dick as “a sort of society entertaiaer." During a Vaslav-directed blackout dance," a low cry is heard. Lord Mountwyn tells Dick. "Colonel Sanderson has been stabbed.** then assured him that none can escape from the grounds. While Brinda administers first aid, bet wounded Gardian warns her to bo “Cars1... especially in this house.** CHAPTER TEN Brinda straightened, and found Lord Mountwyn close at her elbow. “Catch what he said?'' ho asked anxiously. With an effort, Brinda smiled. “Nothing Important — just some- ' thing about— looking after tbo | house.** Lord Mountwyn thoughtfully eyed his prospective son-in-law. "Dick ... I'm especially sorry that this should have happened te3[ht. Not a very pleasaat way to ebrate an engagement — asking people and having them subbed in Che drawing room! 1 fancy Gladys will be more than provoked.... By the way. where Is the girl?** “Probably with Vaslav.* Dick spoke without beat. "Vaslav?* "The Prince They seem to get along." Lord Mountwyn pursed his Ups shrewdly. "Tbo green-eyed Boaster, eh? Never seer, my boy. Idero say Gladys Is merely trying to make you jealous—thinks you used stirring up. Though be has bis poinU, that Vaslav; at least 1 can understand why toe women like him.
