TWO.

In the days when Drummond had
been a platoon commander he hau
done many dangerous things. The or
binary joys Of the infantry subaltern S
Iife-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 reticent; 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
strength is a great asset, but 1t car
ries with 1t certain natural disadvan-
tages. In the first place, its pOssessor
is frequently clumsy: Hugh had prac-
ticed In France till he could move over
ground without single blade of grass
rustlIng. Van Dyck-a Dutch trap
per--had first shown him the trick, by
which a man goes forward on his ell
bows like q snake, and is here one
moment and gone the next, with nc
one the wiser.
Again, its possessOr Is frequently
slow: Hugh had practiced in France
till he could kill a man with his bare
hands in q second. Olaki-a Japa'
nese-had first taught him two oil
three of the secrets of his trade, ant
in the intervals of resting behind the
lines he had perfected them until i
was even money whether the Jap o.
he would win in practice bout.
And there were nights in No Mans
Land when his men would hear Strang'
sounds, and knowing that Drummont
was abroad on his wanderingS, woulC
peer eagerly over the parapet into thu
desolate torn-up waste in front Blu
they never saw anything, even whel
the green ghostly flares went kissing
up into the darkness and the shadow
danced Enthusiastically. All was silen
and still; the sudden shrill whimpe
was not repeated.
Perhaps a patrol coming back woul
report a German, lying huddled In
shellhole, with NO trace of a wound
but only broken neck; perhaps tn
patrol never found anything. Blu
whatever the report, Hugh Drummon
only grinnned and saw to his men
breakfast. Which is why there are 4
England today quite a number o
civilians who acknowledge only tw
rulers-the King and Hugh Drum
mond. And they would willingly di
for either.
The result on Drummond was nc
surprising; as nearly as a man may b

his SHOES, no question Of the possible
risk entered into his mind. To explore
the house seemed the most natural
thing in the world, and with character
