For while there was silence, and

The American gave q strangled cry
Of terror, and then the unexpected hap
pened. There was crash as a pane Of
glass splintered and fell to the floor
close beside Lakington; and with an
oath he sprang aside and looked up.
"Peep-bo,' came a well-known voice
from the skylight. "Clip him one over

situation was irresistible; the absolute
powerlessness Of the whole assembled

showed no signs of departing, tickled
him to death. In fact, the last thing

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

Drummond had acted on the spur of
the moment. 1t would have been man.
ifestly impossible for any man, GER
tainly 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 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 was only question of time
before they must get him.
He watched darlington dart from the
room, followed more slowly by Peter
son, and then occurred one Of those
strokes Of luck on which the incor-
riglble soldier always depended. The
girl left the room as well.
She kissed her hand toward him, and
then she smiled.

marked, looking up, intrigue me vast

walked to the door.

whispered Hugh, taking her into his

But you look great-simply great"
The girl smiled at him.
"Tell me what's happened, boy"
she said eagerly.
"Quite crowded night" With a
reminiscent smile he lit 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.
When he had finished, and pitched
the stump of his cigarette into the
CRATE, falteringly she tried to dlssunde
him. With her hands on his coat and
her big eyes misty with her fears for
him. she begged him to give 1t all up.
And even as she spoke, she gloried In
the fact that she knew 1t was quite
useless. Which made her plead al
the harder, as is the way of a woman
with her man.

kissed her.
