It is not like fighting Boers or Filipinos, this war of walls of men who can turn the smallest bit of information to advantage. Intelligence officers speak of their work as piecing together the parts of a jig-saw puzzle. What seems a most innocent fact by itself may furnish the bit which gives the figure in the picture its face.

He remembered clearly now, an incident that had merely brought a momentary wonder at the time. Those last minutes before the ship took off.
"You came to tell us about your father, Mr. Abel Cumshaw." "That's right," said the young man with amazing alacrity. "You're all right too.
