was no doubt in that worthy's mind
that, at last, this wretched meddler
with things that concerned him not
had been laid by the heels. Which
was as unfortunate for the chauffeur
rs 1t had been for unwary Huns In
the past.
COntemptuously he rolled Drum
mOnd over; then, noting the relaxed
muscles and inert limbs, he laid his
gun on the ground preparatory to rum
ming through his victims pockets. And
the fact that such an action was a
little more foolish than offering man
eating tiger a peppermint lozenge did
not trouble the chauffeur. In fact,
nothing troubled him again.
He got out one gasping cry Of ter
ror as he realized his mistake; then
he had blurred consciousness Of the
world upside down, and everything
was over. 1t was Olaki's most danger
Gus throw. carried out by gripping the
victims wrists and hurting his body
over by heave Of the legs. And nine
times out Of ten the result was a
broken neck. This was one Of the
nine.
| For while the soldier stared at the
body, frowning thOughtfully. To have
killed the chauffeur was incOnvenient,
but since It had happened 1t neces-
Stated a little arrangement Of his
plans. The moon was setting and the
night would become darker, so there
was 4 good chance that Lakington
would not recognize that the driver
Of his car had changed. And If he
did-well, It would be necessary to
forego the somewhat theatrical enter
tainment he had staged for his benefit
at The Films. Bending over tho dead
man. he removed his long grey driv-
ing-coat and cap; then. without q
sound, he threaded his way through
the bushes In search Of the car.
He found 1t about hundred yards
nearer tho house, so well hidden In
a small space of the road that he
was almost on top Of II before he real
lied the fact. To his relief 1t was
empty. and placing his own cap In q
pocket under the seat he put on the
driving-coat Of his predecessor. Then.
with quick glance round to ensure
that everything was In readiness for
the Immediate and rapid departure
such rs he imagined darlington would
desire, he turned and crept stealthily
toward the house.
Laldley Towers WAS en- fete. The
duchess, determined that every con-
ccivable stunt should be carried out
which would make for the entertain
ment Of her guests, had spared no
palms to make the evening a success.
The duke. bored to extinction, had
been i've times routed out Of his study
BY his indefatigable spouse. and was
now, at the moment Hugh first came
In sight Of the house, engaged In shak-
Ing hands with . tall, aristocratic.
looking Indian.

cantly. "What did you say the dam
