But though Drummond chuckled to
himself as the car rushed through the
fresh morning air, once or twice a
CLEAN that was not altogether amuse-
ment shone In his eyes. For four
years he had played one game where
no mistakes were allowed; the little
incident Of the postofiice had helped
to bring to his mind the certainty
that he had now embarked on anothes
where the conditions were much the
same. That he had scored up to date
was luck rather than good manage
ment, and he was far too shrewd moi
to realize 1t. Now he was marked,
and luck with q marked man cannot
be tempted too far.
Alone and practically unguarded he
had challenged a gang Of international
criminals; gang not only utterly I'M
scrupulous, but controlled by mas
ter mind. OF its power as yet he had
no clear idea; of Its size and imme-
diate object he had even less. Per-
haps 1t was as well. Had he realized
even dimly the immensely of the is
sues he was up against, had he had
but an inkling of the magnitude of
the plot conceived In the sinister brain
Of his host of the previous evening,
then. CHEEKY optimist though he was,
even Hugh Drummond might have
wavered. But he had no such inkling,
and so the CLEAN In. his eyes was but
transitory, the chuckle that succeeded
1t more whole-hearted than before.
Was 1t not sport in a land flowing
with strikes and profiteers; sport such
as his soul loved?

as his car stopped I'm front Of his

He went inside, returning In a few
moments with folded check.

The man glanced at the check.
"Fifty pounds, sir" he gasped.

CHAPTER v.
In Which There 10 Trouble at corlns.
ONE.

In Which There 10 Trouble at Gorlng.
The car slowed up before the post
office and Hugh got out. There were
one or two things he proposed to do
in London before going to Goring, and
1t struck him that wire to Peter
Darrell might allay that gentleman's
uneasiness IL he was late In getting
down. SO new was he to the tortuous
ways of crime. that the fOolishness
of the proceeding never entered his
head; up to date In his life, II he
had wished to send a wire he had
sent one. And so 1t may be deemed a
sheer fluke on his part, that q man
dawdling by the counter aroused his
suspicious. He was perfectly Or
binary man, chatting casually with
the girl on the other side; but It
CHANGED that, just as Hugh was hold
ing the postoffice pencil up. and gaz-
Ing at Its so-called point with an air
of resigned anguish, the perfectly or
binary man ceased chatting and
looked at him. Hugh caught his eye
for a fieeting second; then the con-
versation continued, And as he turned
to pull out the pad Of forms, Il struck
him that the man had looked away
Just q trife too quickly.
A grin spread slowly over his face,
and after moments hesitation he
proceeded to compose short wire.
He wrote 1t in black letters for addi-
tional clearness; he also pressed his
hardest, as betting Q blunt pencil.
Then with the form In his hand he ad-
vanced to the counter.
"How long will It take to deliver
in London7" he asked the girl.
The girl was not helpful. II de-
pended, he gathered. on variety Of
circumstances. Of which not the least
was the perfectly ordinary man who
talked so charmingly.
II don't think I'll bother. them"
he said .hrusting the wire into his
pocket. Good morning. N
He walked to the door. and shortly
afterward his car rolled down the
street.
With what the girl considered pecu-
liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary
man concluded hin conversation with
her, and decided that he too would
send wire. And then. after long
and thoughtful pause at the writing
bench, she distinctly heard an unmis-
taxable "D--n.r Then he walked put.
