Half-consciously Hugh listened, but,
now that the moment for action had
come. every faculty was concentrated
on his own job. He saw half a dozen
men 60 rushing out into the garden
through side door, and then two
more ran out and came straight toward
him. They crashed past him and went
on into the darkness, and for an in
stant he wondered what they were
doing. A little later he was destined
to find out.
Then came a peal at the front-door
bell, and he determined to wait no
longer. He darted through the gar
den door, to find a flight of stairs in
front Of him, and In another moment
he was on the first floor. He walked
rapidly along the landing. trying to
find his bearings, and, turning corner,
he found himself at the top Of the
main staircase-the spot where he had
fought Peterson two nights previous
ly.
He walked quickly on to the room
which he calculated was the one where
he had seen the shadow on the blind.
Without a seconds hesitation he flung
the door open and walked in. There
lying In the bed, was the American,
while crouched beside him, with a re-
volver In his hand, was man. {.

another In silence, and then the man

Deliberately, almost casually. he
raised his revolver, and then the un-
expected happened. A jet of liquid
ammonia struck him full in the face,
and with short laugh Hugh dropped
his water-pistol In his pocket, and
turned his attention to the bed. Wrap
ping the millionaire In q blanket, he
picked him up. and, paying no more
attention to the man gasping and chok-
ing in corner, he raced for the back
stairs.
Below he could hear Jerry hiccough-

Jerry. From the garden in front came
the dreadful sound Of duet by Algy
and Peter. Not a soul was In sight !;
the back Of the house was clear. All
that he had to do was to walk quietly
through the wicket-gate to The
Larches with his semi-consclous bur-
den, get to his car, and drive off. 1t
all seemed so easy that he laughed. :. {.

ON e.

Drummond paused for moment at
the door Of the sitting room, then with
slight shrug he stepped past Peter
son. During the last few days he had
grown to look on this particular room
as the private den Of the principals Of
the gang. He associated 1t in his mind
with Peterson himself, suave, impas-
sive. ruthless; with the girl Irma, per-
fectly gowned, lying on the sofa, smok-
Ing innumerable cigarettes. and mani
curing her already faultless nails; and
in 4 lesser degree, with Henry Laking-
toms thin, cruel face, and blue, staring
eyes.
But tonight a different scene con.
fronted him. The girl was not there
her accustomed place on the sofa was
occupied by an unkempt-looking man
with q ragged beard. At the end Of
the table was vacant chair. on the
right Of which sat Lakington regard
ing him with malevolent fury. Along
the table on each side there were half
4 dozen men, and he glanced At their
faces. Some were obviously foreign.
ers; some might have been anything
from murderers to Sunday school
teachers. There was one with spec
tacles and the general appearance Of
an intimidated rabbit, while his neigh.
Dor, helped by a large red scar right
across his cheek, and two bloodshot
eyes, struck Hugh as being the sort
Of man with whom one would not
share luncheon basket.
Peterson's voice from just behind
his shoulder reused him.

to you Captain Drummond, D. s. O..

tertainment we have .ust had"

suddenly, and the man leaned out wav-
ing his arms. He was still gasping
with the strength Of the ammonia, but
Hugh saw him clearly In the light from
the room behind. And as he cursed
himself for fool in not having tied
him up, from the trees close BY there
came the sharp clang Of metal.
With a quick catch In his breath he
began to run. The two men who had

And then this very determined

LEI a. ths thing whatever it was-
was shut In its cage. And now It was
out lodging through the trees, lot
loose by the two men. He heard some
thing crash into bush on his right,
and give snarl Of anger. Like 1ash
he swerved into the undergrowth on
the left.
Then began dreadful game. he

realized that the animal was in front

Shadowy, indistlnct, in the darkness,
he saw something glide between two
bushes. Then It came out into the
open, and he knew 1t had seen him,
though as yet he could not rake out
what It was.
Cautiously he lowered the million

forward. It was enough; with a snari

up against. 1t was a partially grown
gorilla.
For a full minute they fought In
silence, save for the hoarse grunts Of
the animal as It tried to tear away

then enclrcle him with Its powerful
arms. And with his brain cold as Ice
Hugh saw his danger and kept his
head. It couldn't 90 on; no human
being could last the pace. whatever his
strength. And there was only one
chance Of finishing 1t quickly, the pos
sibility that the grip taught him by
Olaki would serve with a monkey as It
did with man.
He shifted his left thumb an inch
or two on the brute's throat, and the
baboon, thinking he was weakening,
redoubled its efforts. And then, little
by little, the fingers moved, and the
grip which had been tight before grew
tighter still. Back went its head;

denly there was tearing snap, and
the great limbs relaxed and grew
limp. +
For moment the man stood watch
ing the still quivering brute lying at
his feet; then, with a gasp Of utter
exhaustion, he dropped on the ground
himself. He was done-utterly
cooked; even Peterson's voice close
behind scarcely reused him.
"Quite one Of the most amusing en-.
tertainments I've seen for a long time"
The calm, expressionless voice made

CHAPTER Vl-continued.
THREE

Hugh stopped his car at Gulldford
station and, lighting a cigarette,
strolled restlessly up and down. He
looked at his watch a dozen times In
two minutes; he threw away his
smoke before 1t was half finished. In
short he manifested every symptom
usually displayed by the male Of the
species when awaiting the arrival Of
the opposite sex. Over the telephone
he had arranged that she should come
BY train from Godalming to confer
with him on matter of great import
ance; she had said she would, but
what was 1t? He, having no suitable
answer ready. had made loud buzz
ing noise Indicative Of telephone
exchange In pain, and then rung of.
And now he was waiting in that Pc
culiar condition Of mind, which reveals
itself outwardly In hands that are
rather too warm. and feet that are
rather too cold.
"When is this bally train likely to
arriye?" He accosted phlegmatic
official, who regarded him coldly. and
doubted the likelihood of its being
more than quarter Of an hour early.
At length It was signaled, and Hugh
got back into his car. Feverishly he
scanned the faces Of the passengers as
they came out into the street. until,
with q sudden quick Jump of his
heart. he saw her. cool and fresh,
coming toward him with faint
smile on her lips.
"What Is this very important matter
you want to talk to me about!" she
demanded, as be assisted her into his
car.
"I'll tell you when we get out on
the Hogs Back" he said slipping in
his clutch. "yt's absolutely vital"
he stole glance at her. but she
was looking straight In front Of her.
and her facs seemed expressionless.
'You must stand . long way OF
when you do." she said demurely.
"At least II IFS the same thing a you
told me over the phone"
; Hugh grinned sheepishly.
The exchange went wrong" be re-
marked at length. Astonishing how
rotten the telephones are In town these
days."
"Quite remarkable" she returned.
II thought you weren't feeling very
~sll or something. OF course, II It
was the exchange :"
'They sort Of buzz and blow, don't
sou know" be explained helpfully.
"That must be most fearfuily jolly
for them" she agreed. And there
was silence tr the next two niles.
Once or twice he looked at her ont
Of the corner Of his eye, taking In
every detail Of the sweet profile so
near to him. Except for their frst
meeting at the Carlton. II was the
only time he had ever had her com.
pletely to himself, and Hugh was de-
termined to make the most Of 1t. He
felt as II he could go on driving for
ever. Just he and she alone. 1t was
then that the girl turned and looked
at him. The car swerved danger
eusly. ...

picion Of smile. "Then you can tell
