CHAPTER XVIII.
Pebblenarsh.

AT o'clock next day, Jones, re-
dressed by Kellerman in morning
coat rather the worse FOR wear--a
coat that had been left behind at the
bungalow by one of Kellerman's
friends-and dark cloth cap, took
his departure from the bungalow. His
appearance was frankly abominable,
but quite distinct from the appear
ance of man dressed in gray fan
mel tennis coat and wearing a PAN
ama-and that was the main point.
Kellerman had also worked up a
history and personality for the newly
attired one.
You are Mr.. Isaacson," said he.
Here's the card of a Mr.. Isaacson
who called some time ago: put 1t In
your pocket. l will write you a couple
of fake letters to back the card. You
are in the watch trade. Pebblemarsh
is the nearest town, only Ave miles
down the road; there's a station there,
but you'd better avoid that. There's
a garage. You could get a car to Lon
don. If they nail you. scream like an
excited Jew, produce your credentials
and IL the worst comes to the worst

WOulu love lndt interview. country
policeman, lunatic asylum man, Mr..
Jsaacson highly excited and myself"
He sat down to write the fake letters
addressed to Mr., Isaacson by his uncle,
julius Goldberg, and his partner, Marcus
Cohen. AS he wrote he talked over his
shoulder on the subject of DISCUSSES. al
leging that the only really impenetra-
BILE disguise was that of niger min
strel.
TYou see, all black faces are pretty
much the same said he Their pre-
dominant expression is black, but

pants and things, to say nothing of q

Mr.. lsaacson, and you may thank the
God Of the Hebrews l haven't made you
an old clothes man--watches are re-

are short but credible. Have YOU enough
money!"
Lots" said Jones, land I don't know
in the least how to thank you for what
you have done. I'd have been had sure,
wearing that hat and coat--well, maybe
we'll meet again"
They parted at the gate. the hunted
one taking the white, dusty road in the
direction OF Pebblemarsh, Kellerman
watching till bend hid him from view.

way added a touch Of the footlights
to this business. rhis COMPOUNDED

Kellerman. who thought in terms of
reels and situations, had managed to
inspire Jones with the feeling that
he was moving on the screen, and
that any moment the hedgerows
might give up an army of pursuers.

However. the hedgerows of the Peb-
lemarsh road gave up nothing but the
odors of briar and woodbine, nothing
pursued him but the twitter Of birds
and the songs of larks above the sum-
mer-drowsy fields
There is nothing much better to
live in the memory than a real old
English country road on perfect
summer afternoon, no pleasanter
companion.

result, for in England when really

The main street runs north and
south, and as Jones passed up 1t he
might have fancied himself In Sand

alike are these three towns.

with the goggles. Jones thanked him,

Then they started.
