of him. OF course he would do what he
could.
. In the Cairo train he found a place for
Dawson and the portmanteau and was
shown into an empty compartment by the
6ark-skinned guard. At least he had
thought it empty until he looked arOunui.
when he saw a girl in the uniform OF
British army nurse huddled in the oppo-
site corner. He merely glanced at her,
returning to his own thoughts, when, just
as the train started. he heard a clear and
strangely familiar voice addressing him.
AREN'T you going to speak to me. Alan?"
He Strengthened and gazed at the girl,
rising somewhat bewildeted and staring
in kind of daze at Constance Masterson.
"Er-by jove-you, Connie?" he stam-
mered, crossing the apartment to her, his
brows taking a new tangle.

ooh! And now
"The bag weighs much lighter. sir.
Doubtless now it would be possible to

Jessup walked to and fro, his hands

awake to the exigencies of the situation.
He meant that not another hour should
pass without informing the person in

what had happened. Captain Won Hengel
had ceased to be the guest Of the Turkana
