"You seemed quite surprised to see Miss Gallian. "I was. Couldn't quite place her." "You recognized her?" "I still ain't too sure, but blame me if she don't look a lot like, Daisy Richter." "You knew this Daisy person !" Kilgour suggested mildly. "Me? No Bern a number one 'coaster she came too high for poor little Dave. Only saw Daisy once in Hong Kong 'bout three years ago." "Why did Daisy leave the China coast?" "Reckon she played both ends against the middle once to often. Anyhow, she skipped for India with a squarehead gun runner." "Think Bhe knows anything about Adams' disappearance?" "Maybe maybe not.? Tarnished gold on Spurr's shoulder straps glistened in a brief shrug. "But my bet is she does; even if she did act up a tree about Adams takin' a powder." "In that case a talk with Marya Gallian may be enlightening. Com ing, Bruce?" "No. I'll take my turn later Think 111 chat with our friend the Colonel." Inwardly thinking, North made no further attempt at persuasion. If the British Intelligence man elected to approach the problem through Spurr well, it was just as well. "Hey, Cap, better watch your step with that joy baby if she turns on the old S. A." Colonel Spurr's loose smile was. not pretty. "Thanks for the tip. Bye the bye, Bruce, you might see if you can learn anything from the newspa per." North indicated the discarded North China' Daily News. "But it's two weeks old?" "Doesn't that make it all the more interesting?" North's hand was actually closing Into the Frying Pan.. .for Enjoyment HEINZ PURE FOOD PRODUCTS "57 Varieties" FOOD STORE over the cold brass door knob of the room m which Chao Ku and Marva Gallian were waiting when a voice, menacing as a leveled pistol, warn ed, "Stand still!" North knew better than to dis obey. Hostile eyes were drilling holes into his shoulder blades. Promptly he oriented the deadly undertone as coming from a door di rectly at his back. "Is anyone in sight?" "No,"- "Then turn around, raise your hands and come in here." Silently the door of a perfectly dark room swung open to shut again once North had crossed the threshold. Simultaneously a flash light blazed into his eyes, making any reconnaissance simply out of the question, "What the devil is this?" the man from G-2 demanded in a hoarse whisper. "Whoever you are, you've got the wrong man." "Be quiet or I shoot, verstehe?" Then in guttural German. "All right, Johann, see if he has a pis tol'.' Grinding mental teeth. Hugh North perforce endured a search which ended when the second man pulled a compact little .32 from the wash leather holter adjusted be neath his left arm. "I have it, Kurt." , "Gut. Now, mein Her, these questions you must answer. Where is Luther Adams gone?" A strong reek of onions offended North's nos trils as he merely blinked into the flashlight. "Answer met" "I don't know," he muttered and tried to grasp the significance of this deadly ambush. He must be careful and make no mistake. No matter what happened Luther Ad ams could not be left at large. Sup pose the new process fell into the hands of certain nations who had an axe to grind with the world? "We will see about that later. Who are you?" The fellow sounded angry and not altogether certain of his position. "A member of the police," North lied. "Ach, so? Who with the Fraulien is in there?" 'Inspector Chao Ku, of : the Shanghai Municipal Police." ''Why have you her arrested?" "She isn't under arrest; at least not at present." "Gut." The unknown drew a long breath then continued in a hoarse stage whisper. "Now you will go across the hall and send that China man away." "Indeed? I see no reason why I should." . ' "You are vun stpid kerl, Hen Policeman," observed the voice. "Maybe you make it necessary for us to kill you, and then him." "Violence is the tool of fools," North was surprised to hear his own voice saying. "Suppose I told y BEULAH V.

"I would believe you, mein Herr," came the surprising retort. "But I do not think you are of the politzei. You are Leonid Dankoff!" Dankoff ? The name impinged on North's conScieness like a clench ed fist. "You're absolutely wrong. I'm not" "Silence! Don't try to lie to me! My people haff not forgotten what you did in Harbin. Where haff you the American Major taken? An swer me!" : ' ' North could feel the prickof i perspiration breaking out on his palms and his throat was going dry as an arroyo in Death Valley. What a monumental irony it would be to perish, now of all times, for some unknown person's misdeeds. Instinct told him death had never before been quite so close. "Don't be a bloody fool! I'm not Dan" . An unexpected thing happened; in a room across the airshaft and directly behind North's captor someone switched on a light. In stantly he struck at the figure thus suddenly silhouetted. Th blow landed hard, sending the Teuton reeling backwards, but before North could follow up his advan tage he tripped on a piece of furni ture and luckily went sprawling just as the second man fired at him. Ears filled with the jangle of shattering glass North from his crouching position flung a waste basket at the head of his principal enemy and missed. The missile however disturbed the other's aim enough to render harmless a second shot. .. "Heraus, schnell!" North cursed the loss of his .32 on glimpsing figures briefly outlined against the yellow 'rectangle of the doorway. People yelled, doors slammed and the corridor awoke to noisy confusion.
