If Iza Weiss's maid had only known the perils her mistress was going through, she would have had graver cause for alarm. It was a desperate enterprise on which the girl had embarked, but for some years she had lived in an atmosphere of intrigue and trouble, so that adventure was to her almost a relaxation. And, besides, her lover was in imminent danger, and that sufficed. After numerous hair-breath escapes, she had found him, but even then it looked as if her efforts were in vain.
Most unexpectedly Ford had come to the rescue. Iza had known Ford in South Africa, was aware for years he had been associated with Samuel Weiss, and that the men had worked together in more than one questionable transaction. She knew, too, there had been a deadly quarrel between them, and that the chief motive for Weiss's return was a desire to be as far away from Ford as possible.
