"How were you able to impersonate
the Silent Menace on the munition ship
of the Foreign Alliance? Who put me
in the box with the bomb?"
Adams smiled in an apologetic way.
''I've gotten near 1.-THE bottom of that.

Then hid you in a s-safe place in

"But who put me there?" she in
sisted.
He looked at her curiously. "Think

son on earth could have put you
there"

He shook his head. "He couldn't

Pearl gasped. II remember a ter

"No," was his laconic response.
"Then for goodness sake stop it!"
she exclaimed, vexatiously. "You are
not an ignorant man, are your"
"No."
"You are college bred, aren't your"
"Very much So" He laughed.
"Who is Sonora Vendre and what
is your relationship there? Is your.
real name Senior Vendre?"
This question took him back to the
incidents on the Granadian frontier
and soft light came into his eyes.
"Senora Vendre is woman with a
heart to whom I told my life story.
She agreed to help me. Her two sons
are a celebrated diplomat and chem

place of one in order to obtain admis-

Adams was about to answer these
leading questions, when for the first
time they observed large and turbu-
lent crowd of citizens and soldiers
collecting with loud outcrles and oaths.
All stood with faces toward the front
peak Of the building. Pearl and Adams
ran down the steps to see what the
excitement was about.
They took one look. A man was
