CHAPTER THIRTY-SDC For a half hour, the expert studied the notes. “It's code, sir," he said finally, "but a very complicated one. It’s in German, I'm sure. But I can't get the key out of it at once. There's so little to work with—not more than five or six words." j "How long will it take?” "Perhaps a day; perhaps longer." "Drop everything else until you've solved it" As the agent left. Sir John slumped in his chair. 1 1 "Well," he said bitterly addressing space, “MacDonald wins! It’s heredity that toils the story. Maybe she’s a true daughter of Mata Hari, after all!" But he couldn't leave it at that Be began pacing the long room ... Brinda! Little Brinda! Somehow, he couldn’t believe it Should he call her in and invite her to explain? No, that wouldn’t do. If she were a spy—or if some clever Fifth Columnist was using her as one— It would merely give them warning. What was it the housekeeper had said? "Staying out all hours." Then he remembered—that benefit ballet for evacuees. A decent ; enough cause. And perfectly reI spoctable—Prince Vaslav was run- | ning it... Vaslav. “I wonder"- He left the thought ' unfinished. But a little later, on ; reaching bis office. he called in a confidential aide and asked for I Prince Vaslav’s file. “We have none," said the aide, looking shocked. "Don't you know” —He whispered the rest “I’m aware of that." declared Sanderson crisply. “However, I’m not interested in bis royal connections or In who vouched for him. i I’m afraid there's been too much | of that In this country—as well as | across the Channel. If we've no i file on this man, it’s time we startI od one. I shall expect you to have better information when I ask again." “Yes, sir,” said the aide. "I shall, sir.” His voice sounded rs though he meant it During weeks of rehearsal, Brinda seized every chance to become familiar with the mysteries of Vaslav’s abode. It was not easy, because there seemed to be softfooted servants everywhere. But she persisted.

Most of all she sought the door from which had come the buzzing sound—like that of a powerful wireless set Then came a night she was sure she had found It It had been a long evening—a final drilling of principals sandwiched in between the dress rehearsal and ths public performance. She beard the other leaving; Vaslav telling them goodnight For a moment the upper hallway was unoccupied. Her heart in her throat, Brinda crept along it until she came to the spot where the door should have been. But there was only a tapestried wall-hanging. She turned—and confronted Vaslav. Ho looked at her smilingly, his black luminous eyes drinking in her slender loveliness. "Ah,” be said, softly, "you’ve discovered my little secret Well ... it was time." He touched t* tapestry, and it slid aside, revealing a narrow grilled door. This, too, opened silently. “Will you*ptaase enter?* Ho bowed elaborately. Then, as Brinda hesitated, “Surely, you will not deny me the pleasure of satisfying your lovely curiosity, my beautiful ballerina?** The challenge sufficed. "1 never guessed there was a lift" remarked Brinda, smiling. “A tiny one," said Vaslav, “but targe enough." Ho stopped in after her, and the little house elevator silently ascended. “My private retreat” said the Prince, opening the door. “You are more than welcome." Brinda’s glance swept the room. She saw the globe, the books, the spacious lounge. But there was no trace of any wireloss. Then she realized the sound must have come from somewhere else in the building—some other room that also gave on the elevator shaft Under Vaslav’s gaze, she became suddenly conscious of the completeness of their isolation from the outer world. "Please sit down,” ho said. "No, one moment—just stand there—let me look at you." Without warning, his arms were about here holding her In a grip of steel. She beat on bis chest with her fiats, but, from his superior height, he looked down at her with a smile that was a strange mixture of tenderness and ferocity.
