breathing of the girl at my side, but
she did not speak or move. She had

the words OF betrayal spoken by Anss
Cowan and Kelly left a sting of sus.
picion behind? If they had, would l
dare to confess the truth, fully reveal
my identity, and thus leave the fate
of my secret mission in her hands?
Her sympathies must naturally be

Then our only means of escape 10

that until assured those fellows have

We both listened in breathless ST.

from outside the house-possibly
someone yelling a report from the
