CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Knuckles rapped softly on the bedroom door. It was Walker, the . h< usekeeper. “Lieutenant Malden 4 calling,'* she whispered hoarsely. Naturally a simple, wholesome soul, the housekeeper had become 1 ostentatiously stealthy since Ken- * ley's murder. it was now her firm V conviction that virtually every cal- i I ler was a Fifth Columnist in dis-1 guite. Brinds met Dick at the door. It was not yet dark, but a deepening fog swirled in the streets, blotting i i out the tops of buildings and crest-' : ing a ghostly, premature twilight. Dirk claap d her hands eagerly. “I'm so glad you phoned,” he said, r “I had to,” Brinda whispered. I His warm, firm grasp gave her new courage. “A terrible thing ha- come up! Listen: Sandy'a threatening to send me away!” “Send you nway?” There was consternation in his voice. “ Where? •I Why?” “I'll explain as we go along.” - Dick helped her into the cab. The • war had not yet reached the point where cabs were to become all but i extinct. As their driver felt his way gingerly through the evening traf- . fie, Brinda told of her conversation with Sir John. "But that's balmy!” Malden protested. when she had finished. “There's no reason he should feel that way ... I'll talk to him.” Brinda shook her head. "It won't do any good. Not when Sandy 3 makes up his mind -and I'm afraid he has. Anyway, that isn't why I phoned you. It’s something else - something ! overheard in the house on the moor — before you came. I want to know what you make of it.” Probing her memory, she repeated the dialogue between the spies I regarding the ocean rendezvous. The young naval lieutenant listened i with anxious concentration. "You should have fold me thia beE fore,” he said. Bravely. “It's highly important. Now, if we only knew 0 where the submarine will ba—” 11 “But I do!” Brinda exclaimed. “1 memorised it, and wrote it on a piece of powder-paper with my eyebrow pencil.” “Good girl!” said Dick. “Let’a Isee.” But Brinda searched her handbag in vain. “I must have left it at home,” she wailed. "How silly of I me! But wait—l think I can remember it." i "If you can," said Dick, “youll do better than most navigating offlcert.’* * "Don’t be angry-let me think!” As she wracked her memory, the eab stopped before the Savoy. “You're tired.” said Malden.

“Wait till we've had a bite to eat; maybe you'll remember then.” Brinda's clutch suddenly tightened on his arm. “Dick!” she whispered. "That man there! Look!" “What man?” “There! The man with the limp! Going around the corner! Oh, Dick, I'm sure he's the one! Don't let him .get away!” Her urgency pulled him along protesting. But, when they reached the corner, there was no one in i sight. I "Oh, dear!” Brinda was almost in tears. "Why didn’t you hurry? I'm sure it was he!" "In heaven's name, who?” Dick demanded, a little impatiently. “Tho parachute spy!” said Brinda. “The man who murdered Captain Kenley." Dick snorted. “You're dreaming. I didn't sec anybody.” “It was the chutist!” said Brinda positively. “I'm sure of it. Something about the way he walked. Not Just the limp, but something else, tut where did he go? Oh, Diek, be must have gone somewhere!” “Maybe he got back on his chute and floated away,” Dick suggested. “Don’t be superior—l really saw him! And he can't be far off; he didn't have time! Come along! If , you won't come, 111 look for him alone!” 1 “All right, don't pul! my arm off. Where do we look first? In doorways? That's a favorite hiding place for spies, they say.” 1 Yet, as he jested, something—perhaps the memory of the events <>n the moor-led Dick to make sure hia ! service automatic was free in its , holster. Despite the proximity of the Savoy, the street into which they • had turned was all but deserted. It ■ seemed to be full of shops, already I closed for the evening, and of warehouses, tight-boarded against airraids. No positive sign of life appeared ’ until they were halfway down the square. Then they came to a burly doorman, poated beneath a sidewalk ' awning. "Did you see a man pats here a moment ago?" asked Dick. "A man 1 with a limp?” The doormaa favorad him with a . steady stare. After a moment’s n- ■ flection, so studied ss to border on insoler.ee, he replied: “No, sir, I ■ 'avsn't seen nobody." i . wuteaaad along tbs Mroeta 1 little further. They saw doors, but ■ none were open. There were deoc- , ways too, but no spy hiding in them. It was Brinda who stoppod. ' "• UM ’*»• H« eouldnt have got this far.” Sba .Hooked thoughtfully back at the
