CHAPTER {.
In Which Things Happen In n
Moon Street

Hugh Drummond folded up the
piece Of paper he was studying and
rose to his feet as the doctor came
into the room. He then pushed a sill
yer box of cigarettes across the table
and waited.
"Your friend" said the doctor, "is
In a very peculiar condition, Captain
Drummond-very peculiar. Gan you
enlighten me at all as to what he has
been doing during the last few daysT"
Drummond shook his head. Haven't

There Is, for instance, that very
unpleasant wound In his thumb" pur-
sued the other. 1.-THE top joint Is
crushed to a pulp"

Hugh noncommittally. Looks as II 1t

"But have you no idea how 1t &c

dier. "In fact, IL It's any help to you
In your diagnosis that wound was
caused by the application of an un-
pleasant medieval instrument known
as q thumbscrew."
The worthy doctor looked at him In
amazement. "A thumbscrew You
must be joking. Captain Drummond."
"Very far from It." answered Hugh
briefly. IF you want to know, 1t

words came, and then, with a sigh,
he lay back exhausted.
With q 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 l 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 motlonless 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,
frowning. Then he gave a short
laugh. 1.-THE devil there is!' he re-
marked. 1.-The game has begun in
earnest, my worthy warrior, with the

that you are a doctorT'
"You are perfectly correct, sir, In
your assumption"
The man smiled: obviously u gen.

his hand on the door of his car.

The doctor looked surprised. Gap

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 %yourselfT
The car rolled smoothly into Pic
cadilly, but the man showed no signs
Of availing himself Of the Doctors
suggestion. He turned and walked
rapidly away, and a few moments later

a trunk call was put through to
Godalming-a call which caused the
recipient to nod his head In satisfac-
ton and order the Rolls-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 @. 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-

At length he replaced the scrap in

that as far Is I a see we're up
against a 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
sire lay In bed.
"How are you feelingf" said Drum
mond c%heerfully.
The man stared at him uncompre-
hendingly. and shook his head.

Hugh continued, speaking very slowly
and distinctly. Then a sudden IDEA
struck him and he pulled the scrap OF
paper out OF his case. do you re-

For a while the man looked at It
