and half dragging, half carrying his

He was not very clear in his own
wind what to do next, but the mat

'b2rely had he got into the drawing
room, when the door opened and the
girl rushed in.

She stamped her foot impatiently.

stepped into his car. why not 70 up

The car rolled smoothly into Pic

of availing himself OF the doctors
suggestion. He turned and walked
rapidly away, and few moments later
lin an exclusive West End club
a trunk call was put through to
Godalming--a call which caused the
recipient to nod his head In satlsfac-

Meanwhile, unconscious of this sud
den solicitude for his health, Hugh
Drummond was once more occupied
with the piece Of paper he had been
studying on the Doctors entrance.
Beyond establishing the fact that the
man in the peculiar condition was
