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 Ian
yard
This much accomplished he pursued
his preparations in feverish haste. I'm
spite of this, he overlooked no detail
In less than twenty minutes he had
exchanged clothing with the American

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 window and from enc
edge of it's shade looked down into
the street.
He was in time to see stunted hui
man silhouette detach itself from tho
shadow of a doorway on the opposite
walk, move to the curb and wave an
60 1:n
tinel on a 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 PoDinot.
He nodded grimly, moved back from
the window, and used the fiash-lamp
to light him to the door.

where he squatted, bearing down
heavily with a 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
a futile effort to unseat the other.
The sole result of this was tighten
ing pressure on his throat.
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 needle
driven into the flesh benea.u 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 assailants
jaw. A click of teeth was followed by
sickish grunt as the man 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.

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 a 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 q 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 Ills travels. Lanyard
had left this thrown across the bed,
and he was wondering subconsciously
what use the other man had thought
to make of 1t that he should have
taken the trouble to remove It to the
chair.

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, 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, "is 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 delft
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 q pistol stamping a 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 a moment-or
I'm no judge and you're a careless
highbinder! 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 flickered from his eyes, with
dawning appreciation of his plight,
was clouding, fading, blending into
one of daze and stupor. The eyelids
fiuttered 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

that corridor more quietly; yet Ian

Bannon stepped out.
He halted and shut his teeth upon
an involuntary oath--truly 1t seemed
as though this run of the devils own

Astonishment measurably modified
his evaporation. What had roused

And why her terror at sight of him?
For that the encounter was no more
welcome to her than to him was aa
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
nervous start and instinctively stepped
back, cropping blindly for the knob OF
her bedchamber door, while the eyes
that held to his with an erect OK
frightened fascination seemed momen-
tarily to grow larger and darker In
her face of abnormal pallor.
But these were illegible evidences.

she. in turn, moved quietly to meet
him.
He was grateful for this considera-

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

he addressed her in manner at once
peremptory and apologize:
'If you please, Miss Bannon-not

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
shirt of one committed to forlorn
hope:
IT'S vitality essential that / leave
this hotel without it becoming known.

She gave him pause with small
gesture. "But how?" she breathed in
the least of whispers. "The con-

"You Must Take Ne 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 foot. holding his weapon
poised as though half expecting the
form to quicken with instant and vlO-
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 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-
