Ten minutes later he was at the

millionaire behind. But Hugh seemed
in no great hurry to start. Win

the man who had been busy doing
nothing fevershly trying to crank his
car. which, after the manner Of the

Still smiling. Hugh got out and
walked up to the perspiring driver.
"a warm day." he murmured.
Don't hurry; We'll wait for you"
Then, while the man, utterly taken
aback, stared at him speechlessly, he
strolled back to his own car.
"Hugh-you're mad, quite mad"
said Peter resignedly, as with splut-
tering roar the other car started, but
Hugh still smiled. On the way to
the airdrome he stopped twice after a
block in the traffic to make quite sure
that the pursuer should have no
chance of losing him, and, by the time
they were clear of the traffic and spin
ming toward their destination, the gen.
tleman in the car behind fully agreed
with Darrell.

In Which He Goes to Paris for Night.

talnly one 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 tOsdo was to give away
his presence on the roof. The informa-
ton he had obtained that night was
Of such vital Importance that it was
absolutely essential for him to get
away with it somehow and, at the mo-
ment, his chances of so doing did not
appear particularly bright. 1t looked
as If it was only question of time
before they must get him.
He watched Lakington dart from the
room, followed more slowly by Peter
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. 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
sudden turn of events. and then he
heard the voice of the man above
speaking clearly and insistently.

right Open the front door. You'll see
a house, through some trees. Go to it.
When you get there, stand on the lawn
and call Phyllis Do you get me-"
The American nodded dazedly; then
he made great effort to pull himself
together, as the voice continued:
go at once. It's your only chance.
Tell her I'm on the roof here"
With q sigh of relief he saw the mil
lionaire leave the room; then he
Strengthened himself up. and proceeded
to reconnoiter his own position. There
was a bare chance that the American
would get through, and if he did, every
thing might yet be well. If he didn't
Hugh shrugged his shoulders grimly
and laughed.
1t had become quite light. and after
a moments indecision DrummOnd took
running jump, and caught the ridge
of the sloping roof on the side nearest
the road. From where he was he could
not see The Larches, and so he did
not know what luck the American had
had. But he realized that it was long
odds against his getting through. and
that his chief hope lay in himself. 1t
occurred to him that far too few un-
biased people knew where he was; it

The girl smiled at h..A.
''Tell me what's happened, boy"
she said eagerly.
"Quite a crowded night" With a
reminiscent smile he lit a cigarette.
And then quite briefly he told her of
the events of the past twelve hours,
being, as is the manner of man, more
interested in watching the sweet color
which stained her cheeks from time
to time, and noticing her quickened
breathing when he told her of his fight
with the gorilla and his ascent Of the
murderOuS staircase.

the stump of his cigarette into the

"Freshness" Generally Ignorance,

Sometimes freshness takes the form
of familiarity with superiors. We may
be created 'free and equal" That is,
we may be created with the hope that
in time we may become free and equal.
But ordinarily there is a world Of diff
ference between a freshman and a
judge of the Supreme court. The
fresh know it all. They are impatient
Of progress and freely tell US what
they are going to do when they get
started. The old Judge isn't sure about
many things. He must have time to
secure and digest the evidence. When
he speaks his opinion becomes a law
to the nation. Yet how presumptuous
in f1edglings to begin argument with
those who really know. Still that's
the way of the fresh. 1t has to be en-
