"Why does my wife appeal for mercy to you a stranger and in your own cipher! Miserable woman! What secret's here? Either you are " "Hush! some one's at the door!" admonished the secretary. Mr. Packard turned quickly, and, smoothing his face rapidly, as such men must, started for the door. Mrs.

I ain't gonna spend the rest of my life on a prison asteroid!" "Shinny, you know too much!" Loring's hand darted toward the blaster he wore at his belt. "Your secret's safe with me.
