f CHAPTER FORTY-ONE Brinda screamed. “Nol” she tried, and then threw 1 herself in front of Malden. I Vaslav hesitated. An expression 1 of pain twisted his mouth. 1 “Ah!” he said softly, “So It io that way! You are a very lucky fellow, Lieutenant Malden. But ' since I cannot kill you at the moment, let me give you a parting bit of advice: the neat time, be more careful to whom you entrust the plans for your Z-Ray. Plans which through your carelessness I shall now take with me, and place in better hands. Goodbye, lucky I Lieutenant Malden!” I Then euddenly hie expression ehanged. His hands rose slowly in the air, the pistol clattered to the Boor. “Just keep them up there, matey!” said a new voice, and over Vaslav's shoulder there appeared the broad, beefy countenance of a London constable. Behind the constable came Sir John, then two other men in Mvilian clothes with a sullen, hand-euffed prisoner between them. The operator of the balcony spotlight The constable whipped out another pair of handcuffs and snapped them on Vaalav. Re submitted impaaaively. Sir John turned to the constable. “Clear these people out,” ho said. I want to talk to this man—now." Hs waited until the members of the ballet and stagehands had been herded to the other side of the set, then addressed Vaalav. “Well, Prince Yonidof,” he said, "It appears you have loot all the way around. I don’t mind tolling you that we have your house surrounded, and that by thia time your gang of subordinate spies are in cuitody.* "Quito rare, Colonel Sanderson?” asked Vaslav. "Quite!" said Sir John. "That room in the basement was very cleverly hidden, but it wae not proof against tear gas... I suppose you realise the penalty which you fae' l e?” <mr Wl ° W e,piona< * * < * nU Vaalav returned hia look without trepidation. ”1 know the penalty for spying, if that is what you mean, Colonel. But I have no Idea whatever that I shall suffer it" "And why not?" asked Sanderson, hia face grim. "Because, mv good Colonel, I am far too valuable to von alive. You and I are men es *e world. You know as well aa I that, in my position, 1 can give yon secrete regarding the enemy that are of mrseh more importance to yon than my trivial existence." Slr John made a gesture of dtol~

"And you are prepared to do no?” “Os course," said Vaslav with a shrug. "After all, I am not a German. even though the Bolshevik revolution led to my being reared as one. I have played for big stakes, Colonel Sanderson. I have played for the ehance that in this cataclysm of Europe—this force of war where nations are being melted and recast—l might be able to regain the throne to which I am entitled by birth." “You mean the Russian throne?" asked Sir John unbelievingly. "Why not? Hitler was only a house-painter. Mussolini io the son of a laborer. And I am not only a prince of the Blood Royal but more unscrupulous and intelligent than either of them.” -You do not seem to have fared aa well,” said Sir John drily. "True. It seems 1 have a weakness ... a weakness they do not share, and one that 1 myself discovered only recently." Over Sanderson’s shoulder, Vaalav looked longingly at Brinda, bio dark eyes mournful. “It seems that I am capable of love." He drew a deep breath. “But let that pass. I have told you what I am willing to do. la it a bargain?” Sanderson studied Vaslav’s face carefully, methodically, estimating his man. "Very well," ho said Anally. "As you say, your life means nothing to me; your knowledge of the enemy's plans means everything. But you must keep your bargain. Will you answer my questions?” “Why not?" Vaalav again said. “After all, I have nothing to lose ... and 1 am really rather fond of England. You know. Colonel, I have some dear relativee hero—in quite exalted places.” "You are a complete scoundrel, I see, Vaalav,” said Sir John slowly. “Utter and complete! But never mind. You say you'll answer my questions. First, answer thia one: who murdered my aide, Captain Kenley?” “That is saay,” replied Vaslav Indifferently, “your Captain Kenley was shot by a Gestapo agent named Schleicher. He was brought here by plane and parachute, ostensibly to aaeist ase, but actually to spy on me. By a queer twist of circumstance, your charming nieee mistook him fee an injured Englishman and drove him into London. He was just getting out of her ear when Captain Kenley happened along. Ho suspected Schleicher and questioned him. Sehlricher, who also was known trader the name of I-arsen. Brandstetter and other aliaMe, killed him to save himself," “Where to thia man of many aliaaee?” demanded Sanderson. “I presume your men captured him aboard the Vandam. You

said they caught everyone, did you not?” “Yes," answered Sir John. "And now another question: Who stabbed me at Lord Mountwyn’s?” “The same Baron von Schleicher," said Vaalav, smiling. "And 1 really must apologise. But you see he made the stupid miatake of giving Lord Mountwyn my actual code instead of a fictitious one that wo had prepared for him. We wanted to see whether he would give it to you. He did, thereby disqualifying himself as our friend. However, it waa necessary to get the code back—so I made up the little dodge about the blackout dance, and the Baron did the rest As you know, be fell victim to you and your nieee." "I see," aaid Sir John, "I rather thought it was something like that Now question throe: Who murdered my agent—Mara?—and arranged for her body to bo delivered at my door?” “That was Agent Mueller,” aaid Vaslav. “Though it to possible 1 gave him the suggestion. She was becoming troublesome. Leaving the body at your door waa my own idea. I wanted to discourage your nieee from practicing espionage. She seemed to have an unfortunate faculty of blocking my plans, and aa 1 waa In love with her, there waa nothing much 1 could do about it" "Many women have been in love with you, have they not Vaslav?" asked Sanderson coldly. "Mara, for instance?" "I have used women,” Vaalav replied. -But I waa never in love myself before. I doubt that I should ever use one again.” “So . .." mused Sir John, “you are Ajax, the man whom women found irreetotibie.. until you met "Ajax?" for a moment Vaalav loehad bewildered. “Ah l see! Your code name for me no doubt . since you did not know my identity. And now, Colonel, may I ask you a question? "How did you detect me? I mean, in advance of tonight's fiasco?" “Through this stupid ballet buainnm, of course." Sir John replied. Starring my niece ... or rather, my ward, was, in a war, a brilliant conception. It turned my suspicions awar from you completely, aa rou rightly calculated it would. But you apparently did not know “J* *“ thoroughly familiar wW > ekeea and when she left some notes ew this daneo in her room, it was easy to eee that they wero a disguised coda.
