Lacy Immediately realized the mis-
take he had made and, learning the
character Of the telegram that had
been sent to Scotland Yard, made
quick preparations for shorteaing his
vacation at the coy seashorc resort.
He acted with characteristic disregard
of conventionalities. He summoned a
fisherman and hired him to take him
out In small boat. and hailed Cas-
tie liner which was bound for South
Africa. BY the aid OF a clever cock
and bull story" he induced the cap
tain to take him aboard and before
the Scotland Yard man reached Mar
gate Lacy was calmly sailing the sea
on his way to Cape Town.
Superintendent Froest Immediately
telegraphed to the authorities at Cape
Town, describing Lacy. and instruct
ing them to apprehend the man on his
arrival at that port Lacy managed to
get ashore and strolled about the Az
rican city. admiring the botanic gar
dens and the astronomical observatory
with the enthusiasm of a tourist
whose only desire is to profitabiy
while away an idle hour. He was in
speeding the fine new docks OF the
place when the agent OF Scotland
Yard clapped his hand on his shoulder
and placed him under arrest. Lacy
submitted with perfect good grace and
was formally lodged in Jail at Cape
Town. Arrangements were made to
have him returned to England the fol
lowing day.
But, alas, his satisfaction was pre-
mature, for the daring Lacy jumped
of the train while 1t was In motion
and disappeared in the depths Of a
South African forest. The officer had
the train stopped at the next station
and, with the assistance Of several
other men. made a search OF the
woods. They finally located their man

one OF the brightest detectives In
Scotland Yard. Wilkie told Froest
that It might be worth his while to
come up to Lows and have a look at
the latest addition to the American
invasion of London.
Not long after the meeting in Lows
Exchange all London became excited
over what was called the "Cutlass
Mystery" 1t began when we'll
dressed, elderly gentleman of consid-
cradle wealth was found on the side
walk with his head badly cut and the
blood flowing from several saber
wounds. He said he had no recollec.
ton of how he came to be In such a
plight, and resolutely declined to give
the police any information upon the
subject. Two days later another man
was found similarly wounded and in
the same condition. He was not as

and went so far as to say that his
misfortune was the result of a card
party In which he had participated

however, to give the locality of the
