But Monsieur in answer to his

We'll. search again" said Willy
grimly. and this time you will have
my valuable assistance"
For the next half.hour. he appeared
the most worthy emulator of Fennoll
Darke. crawling over the floor in
every direction. and smothering pro-
fame expressions as he bumped his
head with certain mathematical
frequency against the sharp corners
of heavy pieces Of furniture.
At first. he devoted himself to an
exhaustive search of the room in
which he had seen that fitting shad-

his arm under the tub and Selling the
reluctant and protesting Ahmed by
the scruff Of the neck, drew him
forth.
Ahmed flattened his ears and dug
his claws deep into the bath-rug, but
il availed him nothing. He was
borne into the other room where En-
nestine hOnored his return with a
dramatic portrayal of the joyful emo
tions.
But before Willy could lift his voice
sufficient above her hubbub to explain
matters, Fennell Darke was announced
and Gaines fastened into the other
room to meet him and inform him
that Miss O'Hara was out in her mo.
tor.
TOO bad" said Darke; 81 have an
appointment with Wodeburn in ten
minutes, and thought she might be
interested in some of the methods
intend to pursue with him.
Willy gazed q him in surprise
