The detective got to his feet and

And this Prana, you say, took you

he demanded. What kind of dope
do you use?"
Il do not defile my body with dope"
Rawa flushed for the first time. my

"The restoration of the Fan of NTH

were piling out in hot confusion.

And did you correct this here error"
For a second there was a complete
silence in the room. The Hindu seemed
confused and weary. A film of dejec-
ton seemed to settle over his dark
face.
Not entirely, no." he answered,
sadly. Perhaps it was not so or
