ed into he'd with him and promptly
proceeded to establish its commissary
on the inner flank Of the Websterian
thigh, where the skin Is thin and the
blood close to the surface. As con-
sequence, Mr.. Webster awoke sud

got out of bed for the purpose Of

alcohol-which being done, an active
search of the bed resulted in the dis
covery of three more jiggers and the
development of John Stuart Webster's
soul in the fogs Of apprehension.
"Tis an evil land, filled with trou-
ble," he mused as he lighted a
cigaret. II wish Bill were here to
advise me. He ought to be able to
straighten this deal out and assure
the higher-ups that I'm not butting In
on their political affairs. But Bills

veillance and unable to leave the
hotel to talk 1t over with Andrew
Bowers. the only other white expert
I know of in town. And by the way,
they're after Andrew, too! I wonder
what for"
He smoked two cigarets. the while
he pondered the various visible as
poets of this dark mess In which he
found himself flounderng. And fin
ally he arrived ut a decision. "These
chaps aren't thorough" Webster de-
cideu. They'll see me safely to bed
and pick me up again In the morning
so I'll take chance that the coast
Is clear. slip out now and talk it over
with Andrew"
He looked at his watch-eleven-
thirty. Hurriedly he dressed, strapped
on his automatic pistol. dragged his
bed noiselessly to the open window
and tied to the bed-leg the rope he
used to lash his trunk; then he low
cred himself out the window. The
length Of rope permitted Him to de-
scend within few feet of the ground.
Webster made his way to the street
