we sped along. "Why do you suspect them?"

It was evident that he was discussing the case so that Paula could
overhear, for a purpose.

"Why, we received a tip from abroad--I won't say where," replied
Burke guardedly, taking his cue. "They call themselves the
'Group,' I believe, which is a common enough term among
anarchists. It seems they are composed of terrorists of all
nations."

"The leader?" inquired Kennedy, leading him on.

"There is one, I believe, a little florid, stout German. I think
he is a paranoiac who believes there has fallen on himself a
divine mission to end all warfare. Quite likely he is one of those
who have fled to America to avoid military service. Perhaps, why
certainly, you must know him--Annenberg, an instructor in
economics now at the University?"

Craig nodded and raised his eyebrows in mild surprise. We had
indeed heard of Annenberg and some of his radical theories which
had sometimes quite alarmed the conservative faculty. I felt that
this was getting pretty close home to us now.

"How about Mrs. Annenberg?" Craig asked, recalling the clever
young wife of the middle-aged professor.
