CHAPTER W-continued.


A fixed determination to know what
lay In that sinister brain replaced his
temporary indecision. Events up to
date had moved so quickly that he had
hardly had time to get his bearings !;
even now the last twenty-four hours
seemed almost a dream. And as he
looked at the broad back and massive
head of the man at the window. and
from him to the girl idly smoking on
the sofa, he smiled little grimly. He
had just remembered the thumbscrew
Of the preceding evening. Assuredly
the demobilixed officer who found
peace dull was getting his moneys
worth and Drummond had a shrewd
suspicion that the entertainment was
only just beginning.
A sudden sound outside in the gar
den made him look up quickly. He
saw the white CLEAN Of shirt front,
and the next moment q man pushed
open the window and came unsteadily
into the room. II was Mr.. Benton, and
quite obviously he had been seeking
consolation in the bottle.

In the days when Drummond had
been q platoon commander he had
done many dangerous things. The or.
binary joys Of the infantry subaltern's
life-such as going over the top, and
carrying out raids-had not proved
sufficient for his appetite. He had
specialized In peculiar stunts Of his
own: stunts over which he was sin
gularly rehcent; stunts over which
his men formed their own conclusions,
and worshiped him accordingly.
But Drummond was no fool. and he
had realized the vital importance OF
fitting himself for these stunts to the
best Of his ability. Enormous physical
