 The speaker was tapping his left knee softly with his hand save for that slight movement he sat as If nothing had happened. And yet ten minutes before a carefully planned coup had failed at the instant of success Even his most fearless ac- compices had been known to con fess that Petersons inhuman calmness sent cold shivers down their backs.

 Hugh grinned Your kindly for bearance amazes me-" he cried.
 "Should they not arrive by then I shall be put to the inconvenience of taking them, and in that case-much as 1 regret it-you may have to be killed. You're such an aggressive young man, Captain DrummolId-and I fear, not very tactful." He spoke respectfully drawing on his gloves 1; then as he got to the door he paused. I'm afraid that my words will not have much effect" he remarked, but the episode last night did appeal to me. 1 would like to spare you-I would really. It's a sign of weakness, my young friend, which I view with amazement-but nevertheless, it is there. So be warned in time. Return my property to Berners street, and eyes seemed to burn into the soldiers brain. You are meddling in affairs" he went on gently, "of the danger of which you have no conception.

 "Tell me. why did you allow this scoundrel to treat you in such an offhand manner?'
 "Unfortunately bullet intended for him just missed" answered Peter son casually. "A pity-because there would have been no trace of him by now"
 Might be awkward for you" mur- mured Hugh. "Such methods, Mir Peterson. are illegal, you know. May l offer you drnk?"
 Peterson declined courteously. 'Thank you-not at this hour" Then he rose 'I take 1t, then, that you will not return me my property here and now.','
 "Still the same deluSion. I seel" re- marked Hugh with a smile.
 "Still the same delusion." repeated Peterson. q shall be ready to re- ceive both the paper and the man up

The man smiled: obviously gen tleman, thought the practitioner, with his hand on the door of his car.
 Its about a great pal of mine. Captain Drummond. who lives in here" went on the other "I hope you won't think it unprofessional but thought I'd ask you privately. how you find him."
 The doctor looked surprised. Cap tain Drummond. so far as am aware, has never been better. I-er-cannot say the same of his friend" He stepped into his car. Why not go up and see for yourself?'
 The car rolled smoothly into Pic cadilly, but the man showed no signs of avaiing himself of the doctors suggestion. He turned and walked rapidly away, and few moments later in an exclusive West End club trunk call was put through to Godalming-a call which caused the recipient to nod his head in satisfac- tion and order the Rols-Royce.
 Meanwhile. unconscious of this sud den solicitude for his health, Hugh Drummond was once more occupied with the piece of paper he had been studying on the doctors entrance. Beyond establishing the fact that the man in the peculiar condition was Hiram c. Potts, the American multi millionaire. he could make nothing out of 1t.
 "If only I'd managed to get the whole of It." he muttered to himself for the twentieth time. That dam fellah Peterson was too quick" The scrap he had torn off was typewrit- ten, save for the Americans scrawled signature, and Hugh knew the words by heart

Left Him Thinkinq.

In q barber's shop in Landport @ man was having his hair cut while friend waited.
 The Friend-You're losing your wool, lad.
 The Victim-Yes, I am getting a bit thin on top.
 The Friend-Well, they say wool won't grow on wood.
 The Victim-That's so; and they also say that wheat won't grow in a busy street,
 Whereat the friend was reduced to hard.-London Tid-Bits.

Portraiture on Jewels.

Probably the best bit of portraiture done or any jewel is that of the head of Mithridates, the ancient king of Pontus. This deep violet image was discovered many years ago in India. The largest sculptured or carved work with an amethyst as the medium con- sists of the bust of Trajan, the Roman emperor. This adornment, formerly in the possession of the Prussian court, mysteriously disappeared when Napo- leon occupied the city of Berlin. His torians allege that some of his generals had taking ways. The work of art has been lost to the world since the time of this invasion by "the little corporal"

Work Done by Leaves of Trees.

A single leaf of an apple tree has 100000 pores through each one of which water is continually passing off into surrounding atmosphere. There are 1000 leaves on 60-foot elm tree. These leaves, if spread out, would cover a surface of 100000 square feet, or five acres. Over seven tons of wa ter, in the form of vapor, pass out of these leaves into the air within a 1um- mer day.

 He was not very clear in his own mind what to do next, but the mat ter was settled for him unexpectedly Barely had he got into the drawing room, when the door opened and the girl rushed in.
 "Get him away at once," she cried. "In your car. Don't waste a second. I've started her up."
 Good girl" he cried enthusiastical- ly. But what about you?"
 She stamped her foot impatiently. "Pm all right-absolutely all right Get him away-that's all that mat ters."
 Drummond grinned "The humor- ous thing is that I haven't an idea who the bird is-except that" He paused, with his eyes fixed on the mans left thumb. The top joint was crushed into red, shapeless pulp and suddenly the meaning of the in strument Lakington had produced from his pocket became clear. Also the reason of that dreadful cry at dinner.
 By Godr' whispered Drummond half to himself, while his jaws set like steel wise. "A thumbscrew. The devils the swine :"
 "Oh! quick, quick" the girl urged in an agony. "They may be here at any moment" She dragged him to the door, and together they forced the man into the car "Lakington won't" said Hugh with "a grin. And if you see him tomor- krow-don't ask after his jaw. |. Good-night, Phyllis"

"DANGERi DANGER!"

Ssiopsis.-in December, 1918. four men gather in a hotel in Berne and hear one of the quartet outline a plan to paralyze Great Britain and at the sarue time seize world power. The other three, Hooking, Ameri- can, and Steineman and Von Gratz, Germans, all millionaires, agree to the scheme, providing another man, Hiram Potts, an American, is taken in. The instigator of the plot gives his name as Comte de Guy, but when he leaves for England with his daughter he decides to use the name Carl Peterson. Capt. Hugh (Bull-Dog) Drummond. a retired officer, advertises for work that will give him excitement, signing "X10." As a result he meets Phyl- lis Benton. a young woman who answered his ad. She tells him of strange murders and robberies of which she suspects a band headed by Peterson and Henry Lakington. She fears her father Is involved
 Drummond decides to go to The LarcheS. Miss Benton's home, next door to The Films, Peterson's place. Peterson and Lakington stop his car and look him over.

At length he replaced the scrap in his pocket-book> and rang the bell.
 "James," he remarked as his serv- ant came in: You'd better know that as far as 1 can see we're up against tough proposition"
 Indeed, sir" murmured his servant.
 "The gentleman is asking for you, sir" Mrs. Denny's voice from the door made them look round.
 Hugh walked quickly along the pass age to the room where the million aire lay in bed.
 How are you feeling?' said Drum mond cheerfully
 The man stared at him uncompre- hendingly, and shook his head.
 Do you remember last nght?'' Hugh continued, speaking very slowly and distinctly. Then sudden idea struck him and he pulled the scrap of paper out of his case. Do you re- member signing thatf"
 For while the man looked at it ; then with a sudden cry of fear he shrank away.
 "No, no," he muttered, not again."
 Hugh hurredly replaced the paper. Bad break on my part, old bean; you evidently remember rather too we'll. It's quite all right" he continued re- assuringly; "No one will hurt you" Then after pause-"Is your name Hiram c. Potts?'
 Thn f,1J ly and muttered Hiram Potts" once or twice, as if the words sounded familiar.
 Do you remember driving in a motor car last nightY' persisted Hugh.
 But what little flash of remem- brance had pierced the drug-clouded brain seemed to have passed; the man only stared dazedly at the speak CT. Drummond tried him with few more questions, but it was no use, and after a while he got up and moved toward the door.
 Don't you worry, old son." he said with smile. "We'll have you jump ing about like a two-year-old In a couple of days
 Then he paused; the man was evi- dently trying to say something. What is it you want?" Hugh leant over the bed.
 Danger, danger" Faintly the words came, and then, with a sigh, he lay back exhausted.
 With grim smile Drummond watched the motionless figure.
 I'm afraid" he said half aloud, ''that you're rather like your medical attendant. Your only contribution to the sphere of pure knowledge is something 1 know already"
 He went out and quietly closed the door. And as he re-entered his sit ting-room he found his servant stand ing motionless behind one of the cur tains watching the street below.
 "There's a man, sir" he remarked without turning around, watching the house."
 For a moment Hugh stood still, drowning. Then he gave short laugh. "The devil there isi' he re- marked. "The game has begun in earnest. my worthy warrior, with the first nine points to us. For posses sion, even of a semi-dazed lunatic, Is nine points of the law, Is it not, JameS?"
