in Mexico several months ago
when one OF his famous marked

There was no doubt Of it. Link
was reporting to his superior-the
notorious Won Zach, for whom
every Allied country was search

lated Mexican stronghold as a pris-
oner, to be tortured probably into
revealing her knowledge OF the

attempt at Fran's insouciance.

A short lull IN the afternoon
brought in its wake another furi-

stumbled down the stairs and
iurched across the cabin for more
coffee. He laughed with derision at
Marys transparently white face
and tear-dimmed eyes.
Scared Of the storm, eh ?"
Mary pushed his coffee across
