crushed into red, shapeless pulp,

"Lakington won't" said Hugh with
grin. "And If you see him tomor-

Goodnight, Phyllis"
With a quick movement he raised
her hand to his lips; then he slipped
in the clutch and the car disappeared
down the drive.
He felt a sense Of elation and Of
triumph at having won the first round,
and as the car whirled back to Lon
don through the cool night air his
heart was singing with Joy Of action.
And it was perhaps as we'll for his
peace Of mind that he did not witness
the scene in the room at The Elms.
Lakington still lay motionless on
the floor; Peterson's cigar still glowed
steadily in the darkness. It was hard
to believe that he had ever moved

it might have been the girl, who was
just lighting another cigarette from
