During the introductions which
followed, Mia observed the other
members of the house party with

Thorpe had indeed assembled a
heterogeneous group of people as
his guests. 1t would be hard to
imagine, for example, a sharper
contrast than that which existed
between the delicate figure of Rob-

him was his wife, whose warm olive
skin and sloe-broWn eyes were suctly
accentuated by the Egyptian jewelry
she wore. Her bracelet, Mia noted,
was a wrought-silver solar disls sur
mounted by serpents-the sacred
symbol of Egypt.
Mia was glad to turn from her to
the suave assurance of Bruce Pey-
ton, Thorpe's lawyer. He was a
youngish man in his early forties,
with fine, masklike features. What
went on beneath the mask it was i'm
possible to know, but at any rate
the exterior he presented to the
world was studiously charming.

Tucked away in an obscure cor
ner of the room was Noel Moffat,
Pauline Pry's secretary. Her fine
blond hair was parted in the middle
and drawn smoothly back from her
forehead. A pair of dark-rimmed
spectacles somewhat obscured the
direct glance of her blue-gray eyes.
She was wearing a soft little frock
of dove-gray silk that did nothing
at all to accentuate the good points
of her personality.
Engaged in desultory conversation
with her was Derek Knowle, Tim
othy Castleton's nephew, who had
recently been engaged as Jarvis
Thorpe's secretary. His eyes bright
ened when he was introduced to
Mia, and he held her hand a shade
longer than was necessary.
"What delightful surprised" he

RIO DE JANE1RO, Jan. l6-
Indications that Argentina had
changed her position and might

for a break of all relations with
the Axis powers were seen today
in informed quarters as the con-
ference of American foreign
ministers swung into action.

considerable pressure by the other
Pan-American republics. were be-

on the issue. one Of the most i'm

The last obstacle to accord, how
