Al Troyon's. q Paris inn, the youth
Aarcel Troyon, afterwards to be LnoWn
o. Michael Lanyard, is caught e&ealing
pY Burke, an expert thief, who takes the
boy with him to America and makes of
aim q finished craftsman. After stealing
the Omber Jewels and the Huysman war
plans In London Lanyard returns to
Troyon's for the first time in many years
because he thinks Roddy. a Scotland
Yard man, IL on his trail. On arrival he
dnds Roddy already installed as a guest.

De MOrbihan. M. Bannon and Mile. Ban
non about the Lone Wolf, a celebrated
Cracksman who works alone, puzzles and
alarms him as to whether his identity is
only guessed or known. To satisfy him
eef that Roddy Is not watching him,
Lanyard dresses and goes out. leaving
Hoddy apparently asleep and snoring In
the next room, then comes back stealth
lily. to find in his room Mile. BannOn, who
explains her presence by saying that she
was sleep walking. In his apartment near
the TrocaderO he finds written on the back
OF q twenty-pound note, part Of his con-
9ealed emergency hoard, invitation
from The Pack to the Lone Wolf to join
them. Lanyard attempts to dispose of
the Omber Jewels, but finds that The
Pack has forbidden the buyers to deal
with him. He decides to meet The Pack
De MOrbihan meets him and takes him
before three masked members Of The
Pack. He recognized Popinot, apache
and Wertheimer, English mobsman, but
khe third, an American. Is unknown to
him. He refuses alliance with them.

common sense or to his romantic bent
In two minutes he had stripped the
mustache clean away from that stu
pid, fiaccid mask.
Unquestionably the resemblance was
now most striking; the American
would readily pass for Michael Lam
yard
This much accomplished, he pursued
his preparations in feverish haste. In
spite Of this, he overlooked no detail.
In less than twenty minutes he had
exchanged clothing with the American
down to shirts, collars and neckties;
had packed in his own pockets the
several articles taken from the other.
together with the jointed Jimmy and
few of his personal effects. and was
ready to BID adieu to himself, to that
Michael Lanyard whom Paris knew.
The insentient masquerader on the
floor had called himself "Goodenough
Smith," he must serve now as Good
enough Lanyard" at least for the
Lone VOLTS purposes; the police, at
all events, would accept him as such.
Distinguishing the lights, he stepped
quickly to a window and from one
edge Of it's shade looked down into
the street.
He was in time to see a stunted hui
man silhouette detach itself from the
shadow of q doorway on the opposite
walk, move to the curb and wave an
arm-evidently signaling another SEN
tinel on farther corner and out of
Lanyard's range of vision.
Herein was additional proof il any
lacked, that De Morbihan had not ex-
aggerated the disposition of Popinot.
He nodded grimly moved back from
the window, and used the flash-lanNp
to light him to the door.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-02-10

Picking it up, he examined with in
terest a small hypodermic syringe,
loaded to the full capacity, plunger
drawn back-all ready for instant use.
1t was the needle Of this instrument
that had pricked the skin of Lanyard s
neck; beyond reasonable doubt it con-
tanned soporific, II not exactly kill
ing dose of some narcotic drug-co-
caine, at venture.
So it appeared that this agent Of the
Pack had been commissioned to put
the Lone Wolf to sleep for an hour or
two or more-perhaps not perma-
nently-that he might be out of the
way long enough for their purposes.
Lanyard smiled grimly, lingering the
hypodermic and eying the PROSTATE
man.
Turn about" he reflected, fs said
to be fair play. Well, why not?"
With this he bent forward, dug the
needle into the wrist of the American,
and shot the plunger home, all in a
single movement so swift and deft
that the drug was delivered before
the pain could startle the victim from
his coma.
AS for that, he recovered quickly
enough; but only to have his clearing
senses met and dashed by the muzzle
Of a pistol stamping cold ring upon
his temple.
Lie perfectly quiet, my dear Mr..
Smith," Lanyard advised: don't speak
above a whisper! Give the dope a
chance; it'll only want moment-or
I'm no judge and you're a careless
highlander! I'd like to know, how
ever, if it's all the sanAR to you"
But the drug was taking swift eff
feet; the look of panic which had
drawn the features Of the American
and fickered from his eyes, with
dawning appreciation of his plight,
was clouding, fading, blending into
one of daze and stupor. The eyelids
luttered and lay still; the lips moved
as If with urgent desire to speak, but
were dumb; a long, convulsive sigh
shook the Americans body, and he

Cling feebly; not long, but long enough
to enable his antagonist to shift his
hold and climb on top of his body,
where he squatted, bearing down
heavily with knee on either Of Lam
yards forearms, two hands encircling
his neck, murderous thumbs digging
into his windpipe.
He revived momentarily, pulled him
self together, and heaved nightly in
futile effort to unseat the other.
The sole result of this was tighten
ing pressure on his throat.
Then of a sudden he ceased to
struggle and lay slack and passive in
the others hands.
Only an instant longer was the
clutch on his throat maintained. Both
hands left it quickly, one shifting to
his head to turn and press it roughly,
cheek to the floor. simultaneously he
was aware of the other hand fumbling
about his neck, and then of a touch
of metal and the sting Of a needle
driven into the flesh beneath his ear.
That galvanized him; he came to
life again in twinkling, animate with
threefold strength and cunning. The
man on his chest was thrown off as
by young earthquake, and Lanyard s
right arm was no sooner free than it
shot out with blind but deadly accu-
racy to the point of his assailant's
jaw. A click of teeth was followed by
a sickish grunt as the man lurched
over.
And then Lanyard was scrambling
to his feet, 2. bit giddy, perhaps, but
still sufficiently master of his wits to
whip his pistol out before making one
further move.

rested with the immobility Of the dead,
but for the slow and steady rise and
fall of his bosom.
Thoughtfully Lanyard reviewed
these phenomena.
Must kick like mule, that dope!"
he reflected. Lucky it didn't get me
before l guessed what was up! Ii
I'd suspected it's strength, however,
I'd have been less hasty-I could do
with a little information from Mr..
Mysterious Stranger here"
In abstraction he wandered to a
chair over whose back hung light
dressing gown of wine-colored silk,
which, because it would pack in small
compass, he was in the habit of carry
ing with him on his travels. Lanyard
had left this thrown across the bed,
and he was wondering subconsciously
what use the other man had thought
t. make of it that he should have
taken the trouble to remove it to the
chair,
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-02-10

without movement Of any perceptible
sort; his face more than half turned
to the floor, and masked into the bar
gain.
Incredulously Lanyard stirred the
body with foot, holding his weapon
poised as though half expecting the
form to quicken with instant and vio-
lent action; but it responded in no
way.
With a nod of satisfaction he shift
ed the light until it marked the near
est electric bulb, which proved, in
line with his inference, to have been
extinguished by the socket kes rather
than by the wall switch wksie the heat
of the bulb indicated tkGr the current
had been shut off oGiy an instant be-
fore his entrance.
The light full UP, he went back to
the thug, knelt, and, lifting the body,
turned it upon its back.
Recognition Immediately rewarded
this maneuver: the masked face up
turned to the glare was that of the
American who had made a fourth in
the concert of the Pack-"Mr. Smith"
Quickly unlatching the mask, Lam
yard removed it; but the countenance
thus exposed told little more than he
knew; he could have sworn he had
never seen 1t before. None the less,
something in it's saturnine cast per-
sistently troubled his memory with
the same provoking and battling effect
that had attended their first encoun-
ter.
Already the American was strug-
Cling toward consciousness. His lips
and eyelids twitched spasmodically,
he shuddered, and his Dexed muscles
began to relax. In this process some
thing fell from between the fingers of
his right haad-something small and
silver-bright that caught Lanyard s
eye

CHAPTER XII.


That wistful shadow Of his memo
ries, that covering Marcel of yester-
day, in acute terror of the heavy hand
of Nine. Troyon, had never stolen down
that corridor more quietly; yet Lam
yard had taken not five PAGES from his
door when that other, at the far end
OF the corridor, opened, and Lucia
Bannon stepped out.
He halted and shut his teeth upon
an involuntary oath-truly 1t seemed
as though this run of the devils own
luck would never end!
Astonishment measurably modified
his evaporation. What had reused
the girl out Of bed and dressed her
for the street at that unhOly hour?
And why her terror at sight of him?
For that the encounter was no more
welcome to her than to him was as
patent as the fact that she was pre-
pared to leave the hotel forthwith. A
businesslike Burberry rainproof en-
velo9ed her from throat to the hem
of short walking skirt of rough
tweed. beneath which boots both stout
and brown we're visible.
At sight of him she paused with
nervous start and instinctively stepped
back, cropping blindly for the knob OF
her bedchamber door, while the eyes
that held to his with an effect OF
frightened fascination seemed momen-
.arily to grow larger and darker In
1er face OF abnormal pallor.
But these were illegible evidences.
and Lanyard ignored them, intent On
securing her attention and silence be-
fore she could speak and SO, perhaps,
betray him and ruin incontinently thar
grim alibi he had prepared with such
elaborate pains. He moved toward her
swiftly, with long, silent strides, q
lifted hand enjoining rather than beg
ging her silence and attention. AS he
drew nearer he was aware that curl
GUS change was coloring the complex
ion of her temper. She passed quickly
from dread to something oddly like re-
lief, from repulsion to something
strangely like welcome, and dropping
the hand that had sought the doorknob,
She in turn, moved quietly to meet
him.
He was grateful for this considera-
t! on, for this tacit indulgence Of the
wish he had as yet to voice, and drew
a little hope and comfort from 1t In
an emergency which had surprised
him without resource other than to
throw himself upon her mercy. And
as soon as he could make himself
heard in the clear yet concentrated
whisper that was trick of his trade
he addressed her In manner at once
peremptory and apologet1c:
eff you please, Miss Bannon-not
word, not a Whisper"
She paused and nodded, eyes stead
fast to his, questioning but compliant.
Doubtfully, wondering that she didn't
show more wonder, he went on in the
spirit of one committed to forlorn
hope:
tits vitality essential that / leave
this hotel without it becoming known.
If | might count on you to say moth
ing"
She gave him pause with small
gesture. "But how?" she breathed in
the least of whispers "The con-
cierge-"
Leave that to mel know anothas
way. | need only chance"
"Then you must take me with yoaaA
"Eh?" he stammered, dashed
