gone Daniel smiled broadly
FOR the first time since he had
set eyes upon Ivanoff. He
could see his way CLEAR now to the
thorough accomplishment of his mis-

for putting into his hands such

"Glenwood, eh? And he protected
the historic name of st. Aubyn, that
noble earl; protected it on the surface
while he dragged it in the mire of an

and his keen eye lost no whit Of its

science that must be uneasy within
