 For more than two years l was so weak and run down that I couldn't work more than half the time.

SYNOPSIS

PROLOGUE-In December, 1918, four men
gathered in a hotel in Berne and heard
one of the quartet outline a plan to paralyze
Great Britain and at the same time seize
world power. The ether three, Hooking
American, and Steineman and Won Gratz.
Germans, all millionaires, agree to the
scheme, providing another man, Hiram
Potts, an American, is taken IN. The in
~stigator 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.
CHAPTER Capt. Hugh Bulldog)
Drummond, a retired officer, advertises for
work that will give him excitement, sign
ing "Xl0." As a result he meets Phyllis
Benton. a young woman who answered his
ad. She tells him of strange murders and
robberies of which she suspects a band
headed by Carl Peterson and Henry Laking-
ton of being the leaders.
CHAPTER II-Drummond decides to go
to The Larches, Miss Benton's home. An
attempt is made on the road to wreck his
machine when another, occupied by Peter
son, darlington and a strange man, blocks
the road. While dining with Phyllis Benton
and her father Drummond hears a terrible
shrek at The Elms. During the night
leaves The Larches and explores
The Films. He discovers Lexington and
using a thumbscrew on an Ameri-
can who signs a paper. rescues
the American after a struggle and takes
him to his home. The man is Hiram c.
Potts.
CHAPTER III.-Peterson visits Drummond
the next day, departing with a threat to
return later and recover Potts and also a
torn paper which seized the
night of the fight. With the aid OF Peter
Darrell, an old army friend, Drummond ar
ranges to hide Potts, and substitute in his
place one Mullings, a demobilized soldier,
who is seized by Peterson and his gang
and taken to The Elms, along with Drum
mond.
CHAPTER IV.-When Peterson discovers
the hoax Drummond is escorted, by Irma to
a room where he is TO stay for the night.
During the night Drummond Is exploring
the house when he gets in a strange room
in which is a cobra. He escapes, but on the
stairs has a fall in the dark.
CHAPTER V.-Drummond .enlists the aid
of Algy L%ongworth, Toby Sinclair, Ted

m rescue.
CHAPTER VII.--Drummond is held pris-
oner in The Films and he hears Peterson
making plans to attend a conference at the
Ritz. He also hears Peterson and Laking-
ton plotting to make Potts sign an agree

In Which He Goes to Paris for a Night.
ONE,

Drummond had acted on the . u Of
the moment. 1t would have been man.
ifestly impossible for any man, GER
tainly n Of his caliber, to have
watched the American being tortured
without doing something to try to help
him. At the same time the last thing
he had wanted to do was to give away
his presence on the roof. The informa-
ton he had obtained that night was
Of such vital importance that 1t was
absolutely essential for him to get
away with 1t somehow; and, at the mo-
ment, his chances Of so doing did not
appear particularly bright. 1t looked
as If 1t vas only a question Of time
before they must get him.
He watched darlington dart from the
room, followed more slowly by F'eter-
son, and then occurred one Of those
strokes Of luck on which the incor-
rigible soldier always depended. The
girl left the room as well.
She kissed her hand toward him, and
then she smiled.
"You intrigue me, ugly one," she re-
marked, looking up, intrigue me vast
ly. 1 am now going out to get a really
good view of the KILL"
And the next moment Potts was
alone. He was staring up at the sky
light, apparently bewildered by the
