What Is the Reason for Col. Travers
Request to Meet LiIIIan2
Hold the wire please" sent the
crisp request into the transmitter and
turned to Col. Travers.
Capt. Hastings is on the wire, Col.
Travers. Do you wish to speak to
him."
4'What does he want?' The words
came from lips that were actually stiff
with thwarted anger.
He says that Crowley recovered
consciousness for a minute and identi-
fled Smith as his assailant. Capt.
Hastings thinks Crowley has a good
deal more to tell, but he is unconscious
again.
Thank you" His tone was the me-
chanical one of man so trained to
perfunctory courtesy that he never for
gets it, even when--as was patent now
--be did not know he was speaking.

took the receiver from my hands and
began to speak, crisp, staccato COM
mands.

woods, but he got united in some mir
aculous fashion. I've got three men

all through this section that he'll have
plenty of help getting away. But ne
must not get far, must not! l depend
on your prompt work
Make arrangements to have some
one constantly by Crowley's bedside to
get anything he says when he rouses,
and you get out on what I've told you.
Send Robinson and Hasbrouck up here
as soon as they can get here. Kron-
ish's will be headquarters for the pres
ent. Good-by.,'
He snapped the receiver into its
place. stood with bowed head for a
minute as if laying out plan of cam
paign in his mind, then turned to
Dicky.
What about your head, Graham ?"
ut can wait" Dicky said shortly.
'It was only glancing blow anyway.

the skin. but it doesn't need any at
tention until I get home"
That's all right then. The officer
looked yisibly relieved. Mrs. Graham.
if / may have word with you, do
not believe we will need to take up the
time of your party any longer"
Madge Asks Favor.
He strode over to me, stood so that
his broad shoulders interviewed between
me and the others. I noticed that the
people in the room, including Dicky,
walked away, for there was that in
the officers manner which authorita-
lively indicated his desire that no one
but I should hear what he had to say.
