Sir John took the report from his
desk and showing it to Brinda,
started reading it aloud:

Brinda looked at him curiously.
Sir John started pacing up and
down nervously:

Left alone, Brinda fingered for a
moment in the study. her eyes
rowing over its familiar contents:
the walls, lined with maps and
packed, ceiling high, with book
shelves; the savage Bengal tigers
head snarling above the fireplace;
Sir Johns big desk, flanked by
filing cases, and piled high with
documents. Years ago, she had
learned she must never touch any
thing In this room: above all, any
thing on that desk. This was Sir
Johns peculiar domain, sacred to
all save himself and his trusted
orderly, the impassive Hunt, who
stood by watchfully each day dur

housekeeper was permitted to enter

In spite OF her agony, realizing
that she was indirectly responsible
for Kenley's murder, deep down she
was happy to get the opportunity

Didn't she 60 out OF her way in
school when her spoiled friend,
Gladys, needed help? She had to
smile, remembering her first lie to
save Gladys from severe punish
ment when she sneaked into the
school mistress room and corrected
her own marks. She still recalled
the satisfaction she felt In having
helped her friend. Though she asked,
was Gladys really her friend? They
had completely drifted apart since
they left school

thoughts.

She lifted the receiver.
"Yes?"
Listen closely!" The voice was

the possession Of very dangerous
knowledge. You may be asked to
help find a certain man. You are
warned not to do so. Should you fail

Before Brinda could reply. a click

hung up. But the final words lin

name-"Mara."
