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 a
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 its shade looked down into
the street.
He was in time to see a stunted hui
| man silhouette detach itself from the
! shadow of 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. If 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-lamp
to light him to the door,

Picking it up, he examined with in
terest a small hypodermic syringe,
loaded to the full capacity, plunger
drawn back-an ready for instant use.
1t was the needle of this instrume nt
that had pricked the skin of Lanyard's
neck; beyond reasonable doubt it con-
tanned a soporifc, if 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, sis 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
single movement SO swift and deft
that the drug was delivered before

his coma.
AS for that, he recovered quickly
enough; but only to have his clearing
senses met and dashed by the muzzle
of 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
chance; it'll only want a moment-or
I'm no judge and you're careless
highlander! I'd like to know, how
ever, if it's all the same 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
futtered and lay still; the lips moved
as if with urgent desire to speak, but
were dumb; long, conclusive 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 a knee on either of Ian
yards forearms, two hands enciTcling
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 10
his head to turn and press it roughly,
cheek to the floor. simultaneously he
was aware of the other hand fumbling
of metal and the sting of a needle
driven into the flesh beneath his ear.
That galvanized him; he came to
life again in a 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
Sickish grunt as the man lurched
over
And then Lanyard was scrambling
to his feet, bit giddy, perhaps, but
still sufficiently master Of his wits to
whip his pistol out before making one
further move.

At Troyon's. a Paris Inn, the youth
marcel Troyon, afterwards to be known
as Michael Lanyard, is caught stealing
boy with him to America and makes of
him a finished craftsman. After stealing
the Omber Jewels and the Huysman war
plans in London Lanyard returns to
Iroyon's for the first time in many years
because he thinks Roddy, a Scotland
ard man, is on his trail. On arrival he
finds Roddy already installed as a guest.
At dinner a conversation between Comte
de Morbihan. NJ. Bannon and Mile. Ban
non about the Lone Wolf, a celebrated
craftsman who works alone, puzzles and
alarms him to whether his identity is
only guessed or known. To satisfy him
gelf that Roddy IS not watching him.
Lanyard dresses and goes out leaving
Roddy apparently asleep and snoring In
the next room, then comes back stealth
lily, to find in ms room Mile Bannon. who
explains her presence by saying that she
was sleep walking. In his apartment near
the Trocader0 he finds written on the back
or a tWenty-pound note, part of his con-
cealed emergency hoard, an 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 Wertheiner. English mobsman, but
the third, American. is unknown to
MIN. He refuses alliance with them.

CHAPTER XII.
EIiuht.


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 instinctiveiy 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, a
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,

him.
He was grateful for this considera-
ton, 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 a manner at once
peremptory and apologetic:
eff you please, Miss Bannon-nos q
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:
Its vitality essential that / leave
this hotel without it becoming known.
If | might count on you to say moth
ing"
She gave him pause with a small
gesture But how?" she breathed in
the. least of whispers. 1.-THE coz

Then you must take me with you:"

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 a foot, holding his weapon
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 it's 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 it 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 fiexed 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.

rested with the immobility CT 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 I 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 a 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 subconsciousIy
what use the other man had thought
to make of it that he should have
taken the trouble to remove it to the
chair.

Bullet Wounds in Stomach

In some experiments with bullet
wounds it was determined that when
a hollow organ. such as the stomach,
is perforated by bullet it sustains
more damage If 1t contains fluid than
If empty. The author fired a O.303
bullet at Sleeps stomach, in the one
case when 1T vas full of water, and
in the other case when it was empty.
with following results: The aperture

was or inches. From this it follows
that a man nit after a full meal would
have less chance of recovery than
had this occurred when the organ was
empty. Bullet wounds of the lung,
provided no large vessels are touched,
are seldom fatal in man or beast.

100 per cent to the looks of the farm
and displays to all passers by that SIR.
Mason and his estimable wife are alert

liked the idea of the naming OF farms.
IL gives the owners an Individuality

good example set by Mr.. Mason, and
that soon a large number of farm
homes may be known in this way.

The Probst Grain Co. met with a Sc
rious mishap last Saturday morning.
The big, new cement addition had
been filed about to capacity, when one
wall was crushed out and about 5000
bushels OF grain flowed out on the
ground, By rushing all the hands that
could work atahe job, the grain was
got back under cover before the rsiu
came Sunday. The collapse Of the ele-
vator wall is said to have been caused
by filling the elevator before the con-
crete had set and dried.
