to guard her words. Talking to

And you?"
"I?" His face was as disarmingly
ingenious as the face of the 49,
year-old Dick Maiden of bygone
days. I'm looking for chap who
tried to blow me up"
BLOW you up? How unkind!"
Rather. And he came precious
near doing it, too" There was a
note of grieved anger in Malden's
voice. Il caught a glimpse of the
duffer and I'm trusting I'll find his
picture in here"
But why would any one want to
blow you up?"
well, strictly speaking, the chap
wasn't after me but my laboratory
My invention, you know. No doubt
Sir John has told you all about it
Brinda smiled enigmatically. Un-
til the last "a hours, she could not
recall Sir John as having told her
anything about the inner workings
of the British Intelligence Office.
"You mean-?"
He was wholly unsuspicious. "The
Z-Ray," he said. "It's an amazing
affair, if we can only handle it. So
naturally it wouldn't do to have the
place dynamited right now"
To Meet Again.
A voice interrupted from the
doorway-one of Sir Johns secre-
taries. Lieutenant Maiden! Lord
Mountwyn just called. He asks you
to remember you have a rather i'm
portant engagement at his home
tonight"
Abruptly Brinda turned.
"Dick, it doesn't happen to be
Lord Mountwyn's that you're visit
ing tonight?"
"Why, yes!"
"Then I'll see you again soon."
You'll be there?" Malden's ex-
preston was unreadable.
Eyes. I scarcely ever see Gladys
any more, but Sandy-Sir John
wants me to go. He and Lord
Mountwyn have some business, I
think"
Ripping! I'll be waiting to well
come you" But the tone was not as
hearty as the words.
Brinda looked at him wide-eyed,
an uneasy premonition forming in
her mind But that would be
impossible The rich, ambitious
Lady Gladys Dick, the young
scion of the ancient but notoriously
impecunious Maiden family :. She
made the plunge.
isn't it shameful? It's an en-
gagement party and I don't even
know whom Gladys is going to
marry. You do, of course?"
Maiden bowed.
"Allow me to present him: Rich
ard Maiden At your service -
Brinda mustered her brightest
smile. But there was no joy in her
heart-only sudden desolation and
slow-creeping anger.

Brinda Reminds Dick.
'It wasn't that" and there was
culver of remembered hurt in
Brinda's voice as she went on, Il
didn't mind your being absent
minded-when it was your studies,
Dick. But the last time, the time
you broke your last date with me, 1t
wasn't your studies. Do you remem-
ber, Dick-it was a dance at Eton
Hall"
1T was?" Maiden looked i'm
mensely puzzled. "A dance! Now
what could have kept me from 60
ing to dance with you?"
1T was another girl, if I must
tell YOU"
mol"
Eyes, another girl. You see, I
have a better memory than you,
Dick. I could even tell you her
name. But don't look so distressed.
All that is ages ago, and I'm really
not in love with you now. You went
to America, didn't you?"
Eyes, yes. Quite" Maiden was
obviously relieved at the new trend
in the conversation. They've jolly
good technical schools there =. and
then the pater made me come back
and go in the Navy. Said there was
war coming-and the old fellow
was right, by Jove! But what have
you been doing besides getting to
be a raving beauty? I mean, what
are you doing here? You're not in
Intelligence by any chance?"
Don't you remember?"
"Of course. You're Sir Johns
niece, or something of the sort. I'd
almost forgotten
That's characteristic" said
Brinda. Uneasy under the steady
stare of his intent gray-green eyes,
she moved a step away. Her arm
brushed a file of the indexed photos
and it fell to the floor.
"Oh!"
Together she and Maiden bent to
pick up the scattered cards. AS
they rose, Brinda found her face
close to the tanned countenance of
the naval officer. Suddenly a firm
strong hand closed on her arm.
"Brinda, I didn't forget! 1t was
something else. I was fool"
The Years Add Attraction.
For a moment, Brinda sWayed to-
ward him. Then she pulled her arm
away.
Nonsense, Dick" she said brisk
ly. Its all too long ago to make
any difference. We were only school
children anyway. Here, help
me straighten these cards"
"Oh, very well,' with a disgrun-
tied air, he complied.
Watching him from the corner of
| her eyes, Brinda realized that the
| years had made him even more at
tractive than the Dick Maiden Of
her school days. He still had a
slightly professional look, due to an
austere profile, a high forehead and
a granite chin. But the mouth was
sensitive and the chin was relieved
by something very like a boyish
dimple. She remembered how that
blend of adult competence in jul
venile naivette had appealed to her
in the days when she was attending
the fashionable Cartwright Acad-
emy and Dick was an undergradu-
ate at one of England's famous pub
| lie schools in the next town.

seemed so overwhelmingly impor-
