And no one can tell what » woman will do.” “So I've been told—by those un- wersed in feminine psychology.” Vance’s manner was light and almost flippant. “Still, even should Mrs. Bliss decline ¢o assist in the continuance of the work, Mr. Salveter—with his fanatical en- thusiasm for Egyptology—might be per- | susded to act as the doctor’s financial angel.” “Not_if it offended Meryt-Amen—" hemml. and then stopped abruptly appeared not to notice the sud. den break in the other's response. | “You would, I suppose,” he remarked, “attempt to influence Mrs. Bliss against | helping her husband complete his ex- | o 0 no, effendl.” Hani shook his “I would not. presume to advise .

Anyway, I'll be rightfully disappointed if Hani finds the tin in the cabinet.” Heath was glowering. “It looks to me, sir,” he complained, “that one of us oughta looked for that opium. You can't trust anything that Swami says.” “Ah, but you can trust his reactions, sergeant.” Vance answered. “Further- more, I had a definite object in sending Hani upstairs alone.” Again came the sound of Hani's foot- steps in the hall outside. Vance walked to the window. Under his drooping lids he was watching the door eagerly. (To be continued.)
