Instead of smiling at what Monk and Ham intended to he humor that would break the ice, the young lady seemed distressed. When she spoke, there was brittle fear in her voice.



"If you know where I can find Doc Savage, please tell me," she pleaded in a strained voice.



Monk and Ham sobered.



"Is your business with Doc important?" Ham asked sharply.



"Extremely!"



The chemist and the lawyer exchanged glances. The girl sounded as if she were in earnest.



"Does Doc Savage know you?" Monk queried.



"Rae Stanley is my name. My father is Professor Elmont Stanley. Mr. Savage does not know me, but he has probably heard of my father."



"What do you want to see Doc about?"



Attractive Rae Stanley shook her head. "That must be strictly between Doc Savage and myself."



"In inquiring about Doc, how did you happen to pick on us?" Monk asked curiously.



"You were the first men I saw who looked as if they might be able to speak English," Rae explained.



"Then you didn't know we're two of Doc's outfit?" The girl's brown eyes widened. Her exquisite features showed delight.
