 hey will probably only have one man b guard him. Now the carriage, please"
 Young Kentish was six foot ser ;eant of grenadlers home on furlough md mxuriatlng in plain clothes. He and Hewitt walked little way toward he town, allowing the landau to catch hem up. They travelled in 1t to within
 hundred yards of the empty shops ind then alighted, bidding the driver walt.
 q shall show you three empty ,hops," Hewitt said, as he and young zentish walked down Granville road. II am pretty sure that sammy Crock 1t is in one of them. and am pretty ure that that is the middle one. The hops at each side of the three are oc- upied, and If the prisoner struggled r shouted or made an uproar he might ,e heard if he were in one of the shops text those inhabited, so that the mid le shop is the most likely. Now. see here," he went on as they stopped be- ore the window of the shop in ques- lon, lover at the back there's stair ase not yet partitioned off. It goes town below and up above. On the tairs and on the floor near them there Ire muddy footmarks. These must ave been made today else they would lot be muddy. but dry and dusty, since here hasn't been a shower for a week III today. Move on again. Then you oticed that there were no other such parks in the shop. Consequently the han with the muddy feet did not come D by the front door, but by the back. otherwise he would have made a trail rom the door, so we will go around to be back ourselves"
 It was now growing dusk. The small ieces of ground behind the shops were ounded by low fence, containing DOT for each house.
 "This door is bolted inside of course" levitt said, ''bdt there is no difficulty climbing. I think. we had better Fait in the garden till dark. In the heantime the jailer, whoever he Is, lay come out. In which case we shall ounce on him as soon as he opens the DOT. You have that few yards of cord
 your pocket, I rnink, and my hand erchief properly rolled will make bry good gag. Now over."
 They climbed the fence and quietly pproached the house. placing them elves in the angle of an. outhouse, out
 sight from the windows. There was sound and no light appeared. Just bove the ground about a foot of win DIV was visible, with a grating over apparently lighting a basement. uddenly Hewitt touched his compan- ms arm and pointed toward the win ow. A faint rustling sound was per- aptible, and, as nearly as could be scerned in the darkness, some white lind or covering was placed over the lass from inside. Then came the bund of striking match, and at the de edge of the window there was a lint streak of light.
 Hewitt took stone from among the lbbish Altering the garden and flung crashing through the window. There as a loud exclamation from within, le blind fell. and somebody rushed
 the hack door and flung 1t open. lstantly Kentish let fly heavy right under. and the man went over like a little. In moment Hewitt was upon m and the gag in his mouth.
 Hold him." Hewitt whispered hur- edly. "Tll see if there are others" He peered down through the low indow. Within Sammy Crockett, his ire legs dangling from beneath his ng oyercoat, sat on packing box, aning with his head on his hand and s back toward the window. A gut ring candle stood on the mantelplece, ld the newspaper which had been retched across the window lay in altered sheets on the floor. No other srson besides Sammy was visible.
 They led their prisoner indoors. oung Kentish recognized him as a lblic house loafer and race course ifiian, well known in the neighbor- 1od.
 "So it's you, is it, BrowdieY' he lid. I've caught your one hard ump and I've half a mind to make 1t score more. But you'll get 1t pretty arm one way or another before this ,b's forgotten"
 sammy Crockett was overjoyed at s rescue. He had not been Ill treat l, he explained, but had been thor ighly cowed by Browdle. who had om time to time threatened him say rely with an iron bar by way of per iadlng him to quietness and submls- on. He had been fed and had taken 3 worse harm than a slight stiffness om his adventure, due to his light un- sr attire of jersey and knee shorts. l Sergeant Kentish tied Browdle's el- l jws firmly together behind and car l cd the line round the ankles, bracing ] up tight. Then he ran a knot from De wrist to the other over the back the neck and left the prisoner truss and helpless on the heap of straw lat had been Sammy's bed. You won't be very joyful. I expect" entIsh said. T don't suppose you'll disturbed till some time tomorrow lless our friend Danby turns up In 'e meantime. But you can come ong to jail instead If you prefer It." They left him where he lay and took lmmy to the old landau. sammy alked in slippers, carrying his spiked loes. hanging by the lace. in his hand. '-Ah,v said Hewitt. T think I know
