did it to distract Rundhia's atten-
ton from herself. Regret enlarged
itself now into kind of cold, ap-
palling horror.
'sRundhia," she asked almost
hoarsely, 'did you mention my
name in connection with this?"

"Did you? Would you rather I
should ask the RESIDENT"
'I had to tell him all / knew"
Rundhia answered. 'It was conf
dential-off the record. I forbade
him to mention your name or mine"
'Have they arrested Captain Nor
wood?"
Norwood is a crook, who has
been found out. Why should you
bother about him?"
The Maharanee interrupted:
Lynn dear, why are you so nerv-
Gus? If Rundhia learned of some
thing wrong, it was his duty"
Rundhia interrupted his aunt:
'Duty? Norwood insulted every sim
gle one of us, including you, Lynn.
! heard him. He's cad. Let him
take the consequences"
Lynn returned to the main point:
"Rundhia, you say that the Resi-
dent phoned you. But how did the
Resident know? Wasn't it you who
phoned the Resident? If you don't
tell me, I intend to ask the Resi-
dent. There's phone here. Shall I
use it?"
my advice to you is to keep out
of it, Rundhia answered. "They
might make you give evidence. Do
you wish to be dragged into a scan
dal? Norwood is guilty. Do you
want to add to the poor devils hui
initiation by appearing in court
against him?"
"Rundhia, was it you who told
the Resident about those diamonds
in Captain Norwood's pocket?"
Rundhia didn't answer. Lynn got
out of her chair and went and sat
beside the phone. 1t was on lit
tie table near the Maharanee. She
raised the phone off the bracket, but
let it click down again when Run
dhia opened his lips.
"Since you insist" said Rundhia.
"Yes. / told the Resident. How
ever, he was already suspicious of
Norwood. He was glad to get my
information.
"And you told the Resident that
your information came from me?"
Il had to. But as I have al
ready told you, I forbade him to
mention your name"
.."Then I am in the position of
having betrayed Captain Norwood?"
do you call it betrayal? He's a
crook. He accepted a bribe. Not
the first time either, I dare bet
YOU"
Lynn spoke Indignantly: 'I don't
believe Captain Norwood would ac-
cept bribe from anyone. I haven t
even the slightest suspicion of his
being guilty, no matter what you, or
the Resident, or anyone may think.

Lynn and the Maharanee emerged
through the big brass gate and be-
came modern women. The seventy
year-oId servant with the key pre-
ceded them and announced them,
but they walked into Rundhia's den
as if it were New York apart
ment, which it rather resembled.
"Rundhia, that you should have
dared to ask permission to speak to
Miss Lynn Harding, makes me hope
you are ashamed and that you wish
very humbly to beg her pardon"
Rundhia was perfect. He didn't
even make any contrite gestures.
He looked straight at Lynn as if he
and she hadn't even an excuse for
misunderstanding.

he answered. "a man who wouldn't

to my failure to make Lynn love

But I will not pay Rundhia's debts
until I see how he behaves! I have
heard plenty of Rundhia's prom
ises."
Rundhia smiled at his aunt: "You
dear old despot, you could make me
promise anything!" he glanced at
Lynn. "Have you heard from Nor
wood?"
'What about him?" she answered.
Rundhia's eyes watched hers with
masked triumph.
There is more than rumor,"
he said. 'There is proof. To the
hilt. Norwood has accepted bribe.
Norwood's number is up
The Maharanee gasped. She
looked shocked, and Lynn noticed
it. Lynn said nothing.

Timid businessmen usually came right across

hands and dug for whatever change they had.
He sauntered down the pavement, turned at
the corner and came back. Halfway, he saw
the two shadowy figures slip over the garden
wall and disappear. Mireault and the Eel
were at work.
Tango fell to thinking of how he had looked
in the mirror. With the impressive image
vivid in his mind he Strengthened his shoulders
and threw out hischest again. Standing erect,
he tried salute 1t felt good. He grinned,
oddly pleased, and walked on.

corner that he saw the police lieutenant.

Nov, see?" Mireault said. What did
tell you? Looks good, doesn't it: See, you've

mot bad" Tango had to admit, surveying
himself in the mirror. He pushed out his
mighty chest and threw back his broad shoul-
ders. Even the Eel, the quick silent one who
was Mireault's working partner and who
rarely opened his mouth, was stirred to
speech. Boy, amt he handsome!' he said.
No doubt about it, Tango made noble

dumb grin off your face" Mireault said i'm
patiently, "and listen. This is so simple
half-wit could do it, so maybe if you try hard
you can too"
With regret Tango turned away from the
mirror His broad forehead wrinkled in the
painful expression that meant he was ooncen-
1ating.
"All you do is walk up and down the
street" Mireault said. Easy and slow, like
real cop on his beat. Then if anyone hears us
working in the house they won't get sus-
picious, seeing you. Keep walking until we
come out, then hang around few minutes
covering us. That's all there is to it. Well

Sure" Tango said, his eyes straying to
the mirror.
Then get going!" Mireault snapped.
! ANCO was a little nervous walking to the
street Mireault and the Eel had picked out,
but nothing happened. 1t was a prosperous
section and in the dim glow of the shaded
corner light Tango could see what handsome
houses they were, sober, solid, well cared for.
The house where the job was to be pulled
was in the middle of the block, behind gar
den wall. Mireault and the Eel had cased it
thoroughly: there was tin-can wall safe
upstairs with very comfortable load inside.
Apparently the old-fashoned family didn't
believe in banks. Maybe they would, Mireault
had said, after tonight.
Tango wondered what it would be like to

And he struck Tango across the cheek.
Indescribable emotions swirled in Tango's
head. He remembered the lieutenant answer
ing his salute; he remembered the old lady's
look of gratitude and admiration; he remem-
bered the splendid figure of himself in the mir
ror. And he remembered what the drunk had
said
He rose to the full pitch of mighty fury.
While Mireault and the Eel stared at him in
sheer paralyzed horror, he stuffed the shiny
whistle in his mouth and blew salvo of blasts
loud and long enough to bring all the police in
Paris.

you! arrest you in the name of the law!'
