 I went round the fat and found that everything had been ransacked-the in side of books, drawers, cupboards boxes, even the pockets of the clothes in my wardrobe and the sideboard in the dining room. There was no trace of the book.
 Most likely the enemy had found it, but they had not found it on Scudder's body.
 Then I got out an atlas and looked at big map of the British isles My notion vas to get off to some wild dis trict where my veldcraft would be of some usd to me, for I would be like a trapped rat in city. I considered that Scotland would be best, for my people were Scotch, and I could pass anywhere as an ordinary Scotsman. had half an idea at first to be a Ger man tourist for my father had had German partners, and I had been brought up to speak the tongue pretty huently, not to mention having put in three years prospecting for copper in German Damara Land.
 But calculated that it would be less conspicuous to be aSScot and less in a line with what the police might know of my past. fixed on Galloway as the best place to go to. 1t was the nearest wild part of Scotland, so far as could figure it out, and from the look of tbe map was not overthick with population
 A search in Bradshaw informed me that 8 train left St, Pancras at 7:10,, which would land me at Galloway station in the late afternoon. That was well enough, but a more impor- tant matter was how I was to make. my way to the station. for was pretty certain tbat Scudder's friends would be watching outside, This puzzled me for a bit Then had an inspiration. on which went to bed and slept for two troubled hours.

 fine summer morning was food

 My inclination was to let things slide and trust to the British police taking a reasonable view of my case But as I reviewed the situation I could find no arguments to bring against my deci- sion of the previous night. So with a wry mouth I resolved to go on with my plan. I was not feeling in any par ticular funk, only disinclined to go looking for trouble, if you under stand me
 hunted out well used tweed suit a pair of strong nailed boots and a flannel shirt with a collar Into my pockets I stuffed spare shirt, a cloth cap, some handkerchiefs and a tooth brush I had drawn a good sum in gold from the bank two days before in case Seudder should want money, and took f50 of it in sovereigns in a belt which had brought back from Rho desia. That was about all I wanted Then I had a bath and cut my mus tache, which was long and dropping, into short, stl1bby fringe,
 Now came the next step. Paddock used to arrive punctua1ly at 7:3o and let himself in with a latchkey But about twenty minutes to z, as I knew from bitter experience, the rnilkman turned up with a great clatter of cans and deposited my share outside my door
 had seen that milkman sometimes when had gone out for an early ride He was a young man about my own height, with a scrubby mustache, dressed in a white overall. On him I staked all my chances
 I went into the darkened smoking room, where the rays of morning light were beginning to creep through the shutters There I breakfasted off a whisky and soda and some biscuits from the cupboard. By this time it was getting on 10 o'clock.

 Then I hung about in the hall, wait ing for the milkman. That was the worst part of the business, for I was fairly choking to get out Of doors. Six thirty passed, then $40, but still he did not come.
 The fool had chosen this day of all days to be late.
 At one minute after the quarter to 2 I heard the rattle of the cans outside. | opened the front door, and there was my man singing out nay can from a X bunch he carried and whistling through his teeth. He jumped bit at the sight of me.

 q reckon you're a bit of sports man. I said, "and I want you to do me a service. Lend me your cap and overal1s for ten minutes, and here's q sovereign for you.''
 His eyes opened at the sight of the gold, and he grinned broadly. Whats s the gamer he asked.
 "A bet,'' I said. q haven't time to explain, but to win it I've got to be miIkman for the next ten minutes All you've got to do is to stay here till come back. Youth be a bit late. but nobody will complain, and you'll have that quid for yourself
 'ERight-o!" he said cheeriIy. T a1n't the man to spoil a bit of sport. Here's the rig, guv'nor.'
 I stuck on his flat, blue hat and his white overalls, picked up the cans, banged my door and went whistllng downstairs The porter at the foot told me to shut my jaw, which sound ed as if my makeup was adequate.
 At first thought there was nobody
