penny without having something left
to show for it. There must be method
In his madness"
"IIe has done It for u.s." said Peggy.
"He has devoted himself all along to
giving us good time, and now we are
showing our gratitude"

You make for Boston, my dear cap
tain, and We'll do the rest" said De-
Mile. Mr.. Brewster can't counter
mand your orders unless he sees you
in person. Well see to it that he has
no chance to talk to you until we are

Montgomery Brewster's guests were
immensely pleased with the scheme, al

"We've been deputized to do some
very nasty work." said Subway as he
turned the key in the door. I'VE are
here to tell you what port we have
chosen"
Its awfully good Of you to tell me-"
Eyes, isn't it? But we have studied
