Half-cOnsciously Hugh listened, but,
now that the moment for action had
come. every faculty was concentrated
on his own job. He saw half dozen
men 90 rushing out into the garden
through q side door, and then two
more ran out and came straight toward
him. They crashed past him and went
on into the darkness, and for an in
slant he wondered what they were
doing. A little later he was destined
to find out.
Then came q peal at the front-dOor
bell, and he determined to wait no
longer. He darted through the gar
den door, to find flight Of stairs in
front of him. and In another moment
he was on the first floor. He walked
rapidly along the landing, trying to
find his bearings, and, turning corner,
he found himself at the top of the
main staircase-the spot where he had
fought Peterson two nights previous
ly.
He walked quickly on to the room
which he calculated was the one where
he had seen the shadow on the blind.
Without seconds hesitation he flung
the door open and walked In. There
lying in the bed, was the American,
while crouched beside him, with a re-
volver in his hand, was man. +.
For few seconds they watched one
another In silence, aud then the man
Strengthened up.
"The soldier!" he snarled. "You
young pup"
Deliberately, almost casually, he
raised his revolver, and then the I'M
expected happened. A jet of liquid
ammonia struck him full in the face,
and with short laugh Hugh dropped
his water-pistol in his pocket, and
turned his attention to the bed. Wrap
ping the millionaire In a blanket, he
picked him up, and, paying no more
attention to the man gasping and chok-
ing in corner, he raced for the back
stairs.
Below he could hear Jerry hiccough-
ing gently. and explaining to the pro
pro pritor that he per-
shonally would repair inshisted
on repairing :. any and every
gate posht he posshessed. And
then he reached the garden. :.
Everything had fallen out exactly
as he had hoped, but had hardly dared
to expect. He heard Peterson's voice,
calm and suave as usual, answering
Jerry. From the garden in front came
the dreadful sound of q duet by Algy
and Peter. Not soul was In sight !;
the back of the house was clear. All
that he had to do was to walk quietly
through the wicket-gate to The
Larches with his semi-conscious bur-
den, get to his car, and drive off. 1t
all seemed so easy that he laughed. >. :.
But there were one or two factors
that he had. forgotten. and the first
and most important one was the man

And then this very determined

He smiled. and no woman yet born
could see Hugh Drummond smile with
out smiling too.

his breath-"you adorable darling"
His arm closed around her, and, al
most before she realized 1t, she felt
his lips on hers. For a moment she
sat motionless. while the wonder Of
1t surged over her. and the sky seemed
more gloriously blue, and the woods
richer green. Then, with q little
gasp, she pushed him away.

and give snarl Of anger. Like dash
he swerved into the underground on

shot out toward his throat, he smelt

He shifted his left thumb an inch

stroaled restlessly up and down. He
looked at his watch a dozen times in
two minutes; he threw away his
smoke before 1t was half finished. In
short he manifested every symptom
usually displayed by the male Of the
species when awaiting the arrival of
the opposite sex. Over the telephone
ne had arranged that she should come
by train from Godalming to confer
with him on matter Of great import
ance; she had said she would, but
what was Il? He. having no suitable
answer ready, had made loud buzz
ing noise indicative Of telephone
exchange in pain, and then rung of.
And now he was waiting in that pc
cuAar condition Of mind, which reveals
itself outwardly In hands that are
rather too warm. and feet that are
rather too cold.
"When is this bally train likely to
arrivef" He accOsted a phlegmatic
official, who regarded him coldly, and
doubted the likelihood of its being
more than a quarter of an hour early.
AT length Il was signaled, and, Hugh
got back into his car. Feverishly he
scanned the faces Of the passengers as
they came out into the street, until,
with a sudden quick jump of his
heart, he saw her, cool and fresh.
comiag toward him with faint
smile On her lips.
what is this very important matter
you want to talk to me about?' she
demanded, as he assisted her into his
car.
"TH tell you when we get out on
the Hogs Back" he said slipping In
his clutch. "It's absolutely vital"
He stole a glance at her, but she
was locking straight In front Of her.
and her face seemed expresslonless.
"Yos must stand long way of
when you do" she said demurely.
AT least IL it's the same thing as you
told me over the phone"
Hugh srinned sheepishly.
'The exchange went wrong" he re-
marked at length. Astonishing how
rotten the telephones are in town these
days"
Quite remarkable" she returned.
81 though, you weren't feeling very
well or something. OF course. IL 1t
was the exchange :"
.They sort of buzz and blow. don't
you know" he explained helpfully.
THAT must be most fearfully jolly
for them" she agreed. And there
was silence for the next two niles.
Once or twice he looked at her out
0r the corner OF his eye, taking In
every detail Of the sweet profile so
near to him. Except for their first
meeting at the Carlton, 1t was the
only time he had ever had her COM

Drummond paused for a moment at
the door of the sitting room, then with
slight shrug he stepped past Peter
son. During the last few days he had
grown to look on this particular room
as the private den of the principals Of
the gang. He associated II In his mind
with Peterson himself, SHAVE, impas-
sive, ruthless; with the girl Irma, per-
fectly gowned. lying on the sofa, smok-
ing innumerable cigarettes. and mani.
curing her already faultless nails; and
In lesser degree, with Henry Laklng-
TONS thin, cruel face, and blue, staring
eyes.
But tonight different scene con-
fronted him. The girl was not there !;
her accustomed place on the sofa was
occupied by an unkempt-looking man
with ragged beard. At the end Of
the table was vacant chair, on the
right of which sat darlington regard.
Ing him with malevolent fury Along
the table on each side there were half
dozen men, and he glanced at their
faces. Some were obviously foreign
ers; some might have been anything
from murderers to Sunday school
teachers. There was one with spec
tacles and the general appearance Of
an inundated rabbit, while his neigh
