SO It appeared that this agent of the

CHAPTER XII.
EIinht


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 it 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-
veloped her from throat to the hem
of a short walking skirt of rough
tweed, beneath which boots both stout
and brown were visible.
At sight of him she paused with a
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-
tarily to grow larger and darker in
her 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 that
grim alibi he had prepared with such
elaborate pains. He moved toward her
swiftly, with long, silent strides,
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 fes Ehis considera-
tion, for this tacit Indulgence of the
wish he had as yet to voice, and drew
a little hope and comfort from it 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 a trick of his trade.
he addressed her in a manner at once
peremptory and apologetic:
IF 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 tue
spirit of one committed to a forlorn
hope;

She gave him pause with a small
gesture. But how?" she breathed in

"Then you must take me with you!"
"Eh?" he stammered, dashed.

but for the slow and steady rise and

Thoughtfully Lanyard reviewed
these phenomena.

I'd suspected it's strength, however,
I'd have been less hasty-I could do

compass, he was in the habit of carry.

had left this thrown across the bed,
and he was wondering subconsciously
what use the other man had thought
to make of it that he should have
taken the trouble to remove it to the
chair.

The sole result of this was tighten

Then of a sudden he ceased to

Only an instant longer was the

hands left It quickly. one shifting to

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 of as
by young earthquake, and Lanyard's
right arm was no sooner free than It

jaw. A click of teeth was followed by
a sickish grunt as the mau lurched
over.
And then Lanyard was scrambling
to his feet, a bit giddy, perhaps. but
still sufficiently master of his wits to
whip his pistol out before making one
further move.

sort; his face more than half turned
to the foor and masked into the bar
gain.
Incredulously Lanyard stirred the
body with a 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 key rather
than by the wall switch while the heat
of the bulb indicated that the current
had been shut off only 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, Ian.
yard removed it; but the countenance
thus exposed told little more than he
knew; he could have sworn he had
never seen it before. None the less,
something in it's satuFhine 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 fexed muscles
began to relax. In this process some
thing fell from between the fingers Of
his right hand-something small and
silver.bright that caught Lanyard's
eye.
