Go on" said the other eagerly
They would have sold you to the po-
lice"
The One-eyed Man smiled grin1ly.
do you remember Sam Hankey?" he
said.
Great Scottl yes" said the other
"WeIl, James has died. There was
no hope, as you said. Things had gone
too far, and, fortunately, Grant is dead
also"
Good heavensi that's quick"
THE case needed immediate atten-
ton, my friend. Now to business. Have
you got all the details for the next
COUP"
They're here" replied the other, and
as the One-eyed Man leaned over the
/ papers he said: Now for the first deed
that will make the London police aware
that a smarter man than they ever
met is amongst them"
! 1.-THE EAST ANGLIAN BANK
ROBBERY.
The scene of the events here related
was the east coast of England. In a
small, struggling village not more than
six miles from a railway center, the
| occupants of a small room, Two in
number, were coming a cyclists road
map of the district. They were the One
| eyed Man and his lieutenant, who went
| by the name of "Greaser'' among the
gang. from some trace of Mexican blood
| in him; but in the village he was known
| by the more euphonious name of Row
| lands T. Rowlands The One-eyed
! Mans cognomen was Henry ]. Macas-
sar. They had been lodging in Shering-
ham for four weeks, ostensibly for
health and pleasure. With little ex-
cursions. fishing on the Breads. and
| other mild pursuits, such as sketching
| they whiled away the daylight hours
| whilst night saw them In the sanctity
of their bedroom scanning, by the aid
of an oil lamp, the contour of the coast
and the roads therefrom.
On the night in question they were
completing the details of their plan,
and were porting over the map, when
the One-eyed- Man spoke abruptly
Here's the spot" he said. pointing
with his finger to a dot on the coast.
| His lieutenant. leaning over his left
shoulder. read "Cley.''
That's it, continued the One-eyed
Man: nice and quiet. and good road
| through TO Holt and Fakenham, and
so on to Peterboro'. Good road to
double back on Norwich or through to
London. Are the tyres all right?''
Right as the mall said the other
Well tomorrow night the Submarine
will lie off Cley, and we shall ship on
her the proceeds of our robbery of the
East Anglican bank in Norwich easily
in an hour, barring accident to the
Panhard 1 fix the time for beginning
operations at $3.50 p. m"
Great snakesi Broad daylight" al
most yelled the lieutenant.
The One-eyed Man looked coldly at
him. I'm afraid, Greaser, you have
got TO learn that my method of proceed
ure differs somewhat from that of the
common or garden individual who
prowls round with a dark lantern and
a Jenny
"Oh. l knew you were a clinker at
the game, Boss; but whoever cracks
crib then? And bank at thati Why,
the clerks Will be therei"
They will not, for the bank shuts
at three, and most of them go almost
upon the stroke. But, granted one or
two are left, they will be your especial
charge, Mr.. Greaser&
81 suppose, Boss, you do not mind in
forming me how you purpose proceed
ing; I am thick-headed enough to be
totally in the dark"
The One-eyed Man smiled through
his thin lips almost pityingly at the
Greaser, who sat opposite to him.
You poor fool" he said; you poor
fool I doubt if 1 shall ever make a
master of you. And yet had hopes"
and again he smiled upon him. do
you think 1 am going to throw a dyna-
mite bomb on the bank, or what?"
II tell you I don't know" growIed
the other sullenly, with red temper
showing DULY on his cheek-an indica-
ton the One-eyed Man noted, for a
quarrel with the Greaser on the eve of
big haul was not to be thought OF.
He fastened to conciliate him.
Listen, my friend" he said. It have
here list of the names of the leading
directors of the bank. and the first and
foremost is that of its chairman, Lord
Amberstone. Tomorrow afternoon,
about o'clock, you go to the manager
and deliver a note. asking him to ac-
company you to the Maids Head hotel
at 2:30 to meet the chairman upon i'm
portant business. He is a new mana
ger. and does not know Lord Amber
stone personally. l rely upon that for
the success of the scheme You Will
conduct him to me in my private room,
and. still I'm the character of my ser
want, you viii await my orders. The
Submarine has instructions to be off
Cley at I p. m. The skipper-Bresci,
the Italian-Nill land in a patent coll
lapsibie boat. and meet US a little to the
westward of the Rocket Tower on the
beach. He will hide the boat in the
scrubby grass that lies alongside and
wait for us at the back Of the huge
sea-wall OF stones. We meet him with
the stuff in our motor, stow it aboard,
and there you arei"
You forget the coastguard," said the
Greaser-
Il do not" said the One-eyed Man,
sharply. Il ask you. am in the habit
of forgetting things like that? He does
not go 10 his rounds till nearly o'clock.
Haven't We been moth-hunting in that
beastly marsh for weeks only TO asecr-
tain the time of his rounds? We take
the motor down the road to the Rocket
Station, and there you are,''
We'll. the plan should answer" said
the Greaser in reply. Anyway, I'm
on. Now let's go TO bed. BY the way.
