to school, from which he had been alb
sent upon vacation.
He did not attempt to visit Paul
vitch's room again that day, but in
stead busted himself in other ways. He
had always been well supplied with
money, so that when necessity demand
ed he had no difficulty in collecting
several hundred pounds. 4
Some Of this money he invested In
various strange purchases, which he
managed to smuggle into the house
undetected when he returned late In
| the afternoon.
The next morning, after giving his
father time to precede him and con-
clude his business with Paulvitch, the
lad hastened to the Russians room.
Knowing nothing of the mans true
character, the boy dared not take him
fully into his confidence for fear that
the old fellow would not only refuse
him aid, but would report the whole
affair to his father.
Instead. he simply asked permission
to take Ajax to Dover. He explained

tiresome journey, as well as placing
number of pounds in his pocket, for
the lad purposed paying the Russian
well.
"You see," he went on. "there will
be no danger Of detection, since am
supposed to be leaving ON an after
noon train for school. Instead will
come here after they've left me ON the
train. Then I can take Ajax to Dover,
you see, and arrive at school only a
day late. No one will be the wiser, no
harm will be done, and shall have
had an extra day with Ajax before I
lose him forever"
That afternoon Lord and Lady Grey
stoke bade their son goodbye and saw
; him safely settled in q first class COM
partment of the railway carriage that
would set him down at school in few
hours. No sooner had they left him,
however, than he gathered his bags
together, descended from the compart-
ment and sought cab stand outside
the station. Here he engaged a cabby
to take him to the Russians address.
l 1t was dusk when he arrived. He
Z found Paulvitch awaiting him. The
man was pacing the floor nervously.
The ape was tied with stout cord
to the bed. It was the first time that
Jack had ever seen Ajax thus secured
He looked Questioningly at Paul
y witch. The man mumblingly explained
= that he believed the animal hat
guessed that he was to be sent away
). and that he feared he would attemp
to escape.
Paulvitch carried another piece O.
cord in his hand. There was a noos'
in one end of 1t, which he was con
;. tinually playing with. He walked bacl
u and forth, up and down the room. Hi
e pockmarked features were working
g horribly as he talked silently to him
&c self. The boy had never seen hin
" thus. It made him uneasy.
le At last Paulvitch stopped on the OF
posite side Of the room far from tn
:. ape.
u "Come here" he said to the lad.

The lad laughed. 1T will not b

u Still smiling. the lad crossed th
