Kingston was well acquainted with the
elder Willoughby, bluff and burly, clad in
blazer and knickcrbocecrs, who greeted him
with a hearty hand-clasp. The Others he
identified at glance The placid-fcatured,
keen-eycd, arisocratic scptuagcnarian was
undoubtedly Judge Desmond His gait be-
trayed the military man in Colonel Mathews.
Lastly came The Count De Sacran. forty or
forty five years old, Of medium height and
build, whose jet-black hair contrasted strik-
ingly with his pallid countenance
The conversation was OF the usual desul-
tory, light, five O'Clock variety Kingston,
for man supposed 10 be absorbed ii scien-
tihc pursuits, displayed an AMAZING interest in
cakes and tea. After 4 little he found himself
chatting with &c Sacran.

Good, he won't regret it,"
Left 70 himself, Kingston lit a cigarette,
and stood for moment staring out Of the
window into the gray OF the early evening.
His forehead was wrinkled in puzzled frowil
That's the man, fast enough he solilo-
quized, but can't say that | entirely grasp

Pulling down the window shade, he turned
and dressed rapidly He had but finished
when the soft, mufiled note Of dinner gong
sounded He smiled grimly as he stopped
and drew from the suitcase slender object
wrapped III tissue paper. Tearing Off the
paper, he disclosed small but solid-looking
hammer, which he dropped into his pocket,
muttering:
It's cruel eypedient, but it's the only
way out He'llthank me for il in the end
As he stepped into the passage The door Of
the adjoining room opened, and he came face
to face with de Sacran III his evening
clothes the Trenchman's extreme pallor was
more noticeable than ever.
