mo joy ride. Listen"
Briefly the conspirator nodded
Five twenties were pressed into his
hand and he curled up in his seat
again.
Servan entered his box. In the
box next to his sat a handsomely
gowned young woman. He threw
her an idle glance. which was repaid
in kind. Later. Braine came in and
sat down beside Olga.
Everything looks like plain sail
ing" he whispered.
Olga shrugged slightly.
During the intermission between
the first and second acts, Server
took the rear chair of his box, nenr
the eyes of a lynx, suddenly observ-
ed the curtains stirring. A hand was
thrust through. In that hand was a
packet of papers. With seeming in
difference Servan reached back and
took the papers. slowing them away
in a pocket.
Braine rose at the beginning of
the second act.
Where are you ~going?" asked
Olga nervously.
ITO see Otto"
"A bold attempt was made to rob
Servan while in the box. but the
timely arrival of Jim frustrated this

Give him a crack on the coco and
we'll beat it,"
Just a minute. gentleman" said
a voice from the Leaf at the side OF
the chauffeur. "In take those pa
pers!' And the owner of the voice,
backed by a cold, sinister looking
automatic. reached in and confiscated
the spoils of war. And I shouldn't
make any attempt to slip out by the
side door"
Thanks. my friend" said Servan,
shaking himself free from his cap-
tors.
Don't mention it," said Norton
aimiably. we thought something
like this would happen. Keep per-
fectly quiet. you chaps. Drive on,
chauffeur; drive on"
Eyes, my lord, To what particu-
lar police station shall | head this
omnibus?"
THE nearest, Jones; the very
nearest you can think of. Some day
when I'm rich, I'll hire you for my
chauffeur. But for the present | shall
expect at least a box of Partegas out
of that hundred.
Jones chuckled. I'll buy you a
box out of my own pocket. That
hundred goes to charity.
Here we are, Out with YOU"
said Jim to his prisoners. He
sh~ouldered them into the police
station, to the captains desk.
