For a moment her eyes, dark and inscrutable, met Fraser’s; then she looked away, and in a_ low voice addressed Flower. “You didn’t tell Captain Martin ?" inquired the girl, as she drew back in her chair and eyed him perplexedly. “Not likely,” said Flower, with a laugh. “I’ve shipped in the name of Robert Orth.
