Howe.
At that moment Minot, followed by
Paddock. was rushing triumphantly
into the Harrowby suit. He threw
down on the table a package of let
ters.
There they are,' he cried. ~
He stopped.
Thanks" said Lord narrowly wild

dear Minot. we need you. My mar has
been to the theater Trimmer is or
ganizing a mob to board the Lileth!'
Board the Lileth?'
"Yes-to search for that creature who
calls himself Lord Harrowby."
Come on. Jack" Minot said TO Pad
dock. They ran down several flights
into the street.
Where to?' painted Paddock.
The harbor!' Minot cried.
As they passed the orera house they
saw q crowd forming and heard the
buzz of many voices.
Mr.. Paddock knew of n man on the
water front who had a gasoline launch
to rent. and fortunately it happened to
be in commission The two young men
leaped into it, Paddock started the en-
CINE. and they tipped with reassuring
speed Over the Dark waters toward the
lights of the Lileth.
My plan Is this" said Minot when
they got To the ship. Turn George
over to us. Well bundle him into our
launch and run Off out of sight behind
Tarragona island. Then let Trimmer
search to his hearts content. When
he gets tired and quits signal us by
hanging n red lantern In the bow"
Martin Wall smiled broadly.
Not bad for an amateur kidnaper."
he said will l turn George over to
you? Will a duck swim? A good
idea"
In the kidnapping George put up .
lively fight. Once he slipped and fen,
his three captors on top of him, and al
that moment Minot felt a terrific tug
ging at his coat. But the odds were
three to one against George Harrowby.
and finally he was dragged and push
ed into the launch. Paddock started
the engine, and that odd boat loac
drew away from the Lileth.
Hours passed and no red light from
the Lileth. 1t rained in torrents.
I'D give a thousand dollars SAID
Paddock, Ito know what's going on
aboard that boat"
