He worked like demon for five

and the heat were less intense. The

Two men came round the corner OF

see that one OF them was Mr.. Jones.
II was Mr.. Montgomery Jones, per

swimming with a side stroke. He
suspected. and suspected rightly, that
the men on the bank would recognize
him and appreciate the reason for his
swim. and would not be slow 10 stop

He was right.
There came crack from behind
him, and something splashed the wa
ter beside his face. There was an
other crack. and the water splashed
into his eyes. That time the mark had
been overshot Again there was a
crack. and a third bullet went singing
past his ears. and blowing into the
stream an inch or SO before his face,
sent up a splash that halfblinded
him
Strong. even then turned his head
and laughed as he swan on. No more
shots came. and he reckoned himself
safe.
He climbed like an otter up the
further bank. and went bursting into
the bungalow and out into the space
behind IL. AS ne had guessed II
would be. the shed was enveloped IN
flames.
Langley with a white face, was
standing beside the water-butt swift

He smacked a hand on 10 Langley S

Langley nodded. and without more
