CHAPTER VII.
In Which He Spends an Hour or Two
on Roof.
ONE.

Drummond paused for a moment at
the door of the sitting room, then with
a 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 lesser degree, with Henry Laklng-
tons 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-looklng man
with 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
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 lntimldated rabbit, while his neigh
Dor, helped by 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.
"Permit me, gentlemen, to introduce
to you Captain Drummond, D. S. O.,
NJ. G., the originator of the little en-
tertainment we have just had"

Which was the cue for the COM
mencement Of the last and longest
interlude, terminated only by the sud
den and unwelcome appearance Of a
notorious covered within and with
out by unrOmantlc slghtseers, and
paper-bags containing bananas.
They drove slowly back to Guild
ford, and on the way he told her brief
ly Of the murder Of the Americans
secretary in Belfast, and his inter
view the preceding afternoon with
the impOstOr at the Carlton.
"It's a tough proposition" he re-
marked quietly. They're absolutely
without scrupe, and their power

est son. But there's something more
in the wind than that, Phyllls-some-
thing which, unless I'm a mug Of the
first water, is an infinitely larger
proposition than that"
The car drew up at the station,
and he strolled with her to the plat
form. Then the train came in, and
he put her into a carriage. And two
minutes later, with the touch Of her
lips warm on his, and her anxious
little cry, Take care, my darling =
take care! :" still ringing in his ears, he
got into his car and drove off to an
hotel to get an early dinner

her, and his right arm lay along the
seat just behind her shoulders.
Tell me about this important
thing" she said a little nervously.
He smiled, and no woman yet born
could see Hugh Drummond smile with
out smiling too.
You darling" he whispered, under
his breatl-"you adorable darling!"
His arm closed around her, and, al
most before she realized 1t, she felt
his lips on hers. For moment she
sat mOtionless, while the wonder Of
1t surged over her, and the sky seemed
more gloriously blue, and the woods
a richer green. Then, with a little
gasp, she pushed him away.

mustn't, Hugh" she whispered.
"And why not, little girl?" he said
exultantly Don't you know love
you" His face was still very close
to hers. "WelT

"It's your turn" he whispered. 81

"But it's only two or three days

gled, but, even to her, 1t wasn't very
convincing. We've got other things
to do. We can't think of. :"
And then this very determined
young man settled matters in his
usual straightforward fashion. She
felt herself lifted bodily out of the
car as If she had been a child; she
found herself lying in his arms, with
Hugh's eyes looking very tenderly in
to her own, and a whimsical grin
around his mouth.

grimly. "They found out that he was

suddenly, and the man leaned out wav-
ing his arms. He was still gasplng
with the strength Of the ammonia, but
Hugh saw him clearly in the light from
the room behind. And as he cursed
himself for a fool In not having tied
him up, from the trees close by there
came the sharp clang of metal.
With quick catch in his breath he
began to run. The two men who had
rushed past him before he had entered
the house, and whom, save for a pass
ing thought, he had dlsregarded, had
become the principal danger. For he
had heard that clang before; he re-
membered Jem Smiths white horror

knocking down gates. Out Of
queshtlon. E"
Half-cOnsciously Hugh listened, but,
now that the moment for action had
come, every faculty was concentrated
on his own job. He saw half dozen
men go rushing out into the garden
through a 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
slant he wondered what they were
doing. A little later he was destined
to find out.
Then came 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 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. g..
For few seconds they watched one
another in silence, and then the man
Strengthened up.
THE sodler!" he snarled. "You
young pup"
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-plstol in his pocket and
turned his attention to the bed. Wrap
ping the millionaire In a blanket, he
picked him up, and, paying no more
attention to the man gaspng and chok-
ing in corner, he raced for the back
stairs.
Below he could hear Jerry hiccough-
ing gently, and explaining to the pro
Il pro prltor that he per-
shOnaily would repair inshlsted
on repairing any and every
gate posht he posshessed. And
then he reached the garden.
Everything had fallen out exactly
as he had hoped, but had hardly dared
to expect. He heard Peterson's voice,
calm and suave as usual, answering
Jerry. From the garden in front came
the dreadful sound Of a duet by Algy
and Peter. Not 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-conscious bur
den, get to his car, and drive off. 1t
all seemed so easy that he laughed. d. .
But there were one or two factors
that he had forgotten, and the first
and most important one was the man
upstairs. The window was thrown up
The Southern herald., 1921-07-15
FOUR.

At quarter to ten he backed his
car into the shadow Of some trees
not far from the gate Of The Elms.
Save for a light in the sitting-room
and one in a bedroom upstairs, the
front Of the house was In darkness,
and, treading nOiselessly on the turf,
he explored all round 1t. There was
one bedroom light at the back Of the
house, and thrown on the blind he
could see the shadow of a man. As
he watched, the man got up and
moved away, only to return in a mo-
ment or two and take up his old posi-
ton
ITS one of those two bedrooms"
he muttered to himself, 'ff he's here
at ALL"
Then he crouched in the shadow of
some shrubs and waited. Through
the trees to his right he could see The
LarChes, and once, with a sudden
quickening Of his heart, he thought he
saw the outline Of the girl show up
In the light from the drawlng-room
But 1t was only for a second, and
then 1t was gone.
He peered at his watch: 1t was just
ten o'clock. The trees were creaking
gently in the faint wind; all around
him the strange night noses-nolses
which play pranks with a mans
nerves-were whispering and mutter-
ing. Bushes seemed suddenly to come
to life, and move; eerie shapes
crawled over the ground toward
hlm-fgures which existed only In
his Imagination. And once again the
thrill Of the night stalker grlpped
him.
He remembered the German who
had lain mOtionless for an hour In a
little gully by Hebuterne, while he
from behind a stunted bush had tried
to locate him. And then that one
creak as the BOche had moved his leg.
And then the end. On that
night. too, the little hummOcks had
moved and taken to themselves
strange shapes: fifty times he had
imagined he saw him; fifty times he
knew he was wrong-in time. He
was used to 1t; the night held no
terrors for him, only a fierce excite
ment. And thus 1t was that as he
crouched in the bushes, waiting for
the game to start, his pulse was as
normal and his nerves as steady as
II he had been sitting down to supper.
The only difference was that in his
hand he held something tight-grIpped.
At last family in the distance he
heard the hum Of car Rapidly 1t
grew louder, and he smiled grimly to
himself as the sound of FIVE unme-
lodlous voices singing Justify struck
his ear. They passed along the road
in front Of the house. There was a
sudden crash-then silence; but only
for moment.
Peters voice came first:
"You priceless old ass, you've
rammed the blinking gate"
It was Jerry Seymour who then
took up the bawl. His voice was in
