Don swung round to ner gripping her arm
fiercely. She shook herself free. Slowly. like
a woman in a dream she lifted a hand TO her
dark hair pushing it back from her cheek.
Il knew you wouldn't believe him" she
said almost in a whisper. Il knew that
otherwise I would have stopped him. OF
course it's all lies He's doing II TO protect me
because, he thinks I killed Ivor"
She turned TO Don. Her movements were
curiousy wooden as if she were some ex-
quisitely assembled doll Then. slowly, as she
watched him. her face softened and her mouth
moved in a warm little smile.
He tried TO take the blame because he's
in love with me-" she said softly, and he
knows I'm in love with him. That's why he's
so afraid killed Ivor" She took Don's hand
curling her white fingers around his square
ones. She murmured Thank you, thank you
so much. But it's no use Don't you see
that ?"
A T that moment when everything else was
~ so appalingly confused, the simplicity of
that statement was heart-rending. As Kay
looked at her niece's face, she was sure that
she was speaking the truth then. 1t was
poignantly transparent that she did love Don
and that all her protestations to the contrary
in the past had been invented for some reason
Of her own
Slowly Elaine turned from Don. Her green
eyes, amazingly calm now. moved around the
room. She looked at her father who was star

at her mother, too and Terry-and smiled

think 1 killed Ivor Maybe you think that's
terrible of them. But I'm grateful, very, very
grateful. And yet I'm glad this has happened
too because it's been so CHASTITY keeping IL all
to myself, not knowing how 1t could possibly
end
Gilbert leaned forward in his wheel chair
and said sharply Elaine. not only as your
father but as lawyer I must warn you. q"
It's all right, daddy" Elaine smiled fleet

rHE room was quiet with the cold, enguf-

watching the young boatman with sort

was suddenly blank, uncertain.

Don moistened his lips "Of course"

Perhaps Don knows what he's doing" he
said. I'm sure don't. It's all of it untrue,
Major. Don arrived at my house before
eleven-thirty. He stayed till twelve. He
couldn't possibly have killed Drake, couldn't
possibly have done any of those things"
Don looked at him rather wildly and then
at the Major. He's lying he said. Il asked
him TO say was at his house last night. And
he's sticking by it because he's friend Of
mine and he doesn't want me to get into

You seem very eager TO be proved muir

drily. But I'm afraid you'll find it hard TO
make me believe the coroner's physician would
continue to give you false alb against your
own wishes. I'm afraid this confession has
been rather waste of time"
His steel gaze turned abruptly on Elaine.

doesn't prove I've told you the truth" His
lips were white why don't you take me

The boat was still running. l couldn't think

Even in the first shock Kay had never

Now and then a nation makes
a law declaring that it has a GER
tain official name" This name may
have had long use inside the coun-
try, but it is likely to seem like a
big change to the outside world.
The ancient country of Persia is
one of those which have done that.
Several years ago the government
declared the official name would be
"Iran." instead of Persia. This law
put into force name which the
people of the country had been using
for a long time
So when I write about the Per-
slams, shall speak of their land as
Iran. I am rather sorry to do this,
since I think Persia was a good
name, and with its long HISTORY 1t
might well have been kept.
If we made a journey around the
world, we should need to travel al
most half the distance to reach
Iran 1t is a big country and con-
tains more than half as much land
as India.
Iran is not, however, nearly so
thickly settled as India. A late
estimate places the population at
100000.
Most of the people are Indians,
but there also are many Turks
(more than 100000, along with
Arabs and Kurds.

The Iranians are classed as whites,
but they are of mixed stock. Mon
golS, TartarS and Turks have in
vaded the country during the past
thousand years and have married
with the white Iranians.
More than nine tenths of the peo-
pie of Iran are members of the
Mohammedan faith. They pray to
Allah and honor Mohammed as the
chief prophet of Allah.
When they say their prayers,

diamonds West was allowed to hold
the trick with his queen. West

West is the criminal, and his
crime took place at the second trick!
He murdered the defense by holding
on to the diamond queen; he should
have dropped it when South played
the diamond ace After all, his
queen is useless unless his partner
has the Jack of diamonds; and if
his partner has the diamond jack,
West must drop the queen so as to
let East win the diamond trick.
For if East wins the diamond trick
