CHAPTER xxI-Cont;nued.

He passed along the wider lane In
the direction OF JervaulX, his eyes
scanning the ground and the ditch. A
little distance short Of the gate
through which Billy had wheeled the
Sphinx when lodging the police, he
stopped quickly and picked up scrap
OF metal. 1t was the broken end of an
exhaust silencer
II was rIghtl' calculated Billy.
Here they crashed again-or the en-
gine gave out for good. And they
came the very way l did myself. And
one of the two was lame-dead lame.
One sure thing-they couldn't have got
far that night. And If they weren't able
to ride the thing what did they do
with it,"
He hurried to the far end Of the
field, where the last of the tracks had
fsiled. He hesItated, and glanced to-
wards the distant crag-pits.
"What should have done myself
II I hadn't known the ground?' he
thought. "Ill try here first"
Less than hundred yards to the
right was clump of brushwood,
growing alone, little oasis on the
bare field.
The bushes masked n narrow clay
pit, twenty feet deep, that had been
delved in times past to bring up the
heavy mari subsoll and spread it over
the sandy field. 1t was now complete
ly cioaked with brambles. Billy pulled
them apart, and saw something gleam-
ing dimly at the bottom of the pit.
1t was the buckled frame of a big
twin Indian motorcycle.
With whoop of triumph Billy
ciambered down the steep side of th,:
pit and disappeared through the BRAN
bles. He remained below some time
When at last he emerged and stood
on the brink, Bllly's face was rather
pale, and his eyes troubled.
"Great Caesars ghost ~ he said.
who'd have expected this? NOw-.If
! can pick UP the other track, I'll have
the game in my hands!'
He hurried in the direction of the
distant crag-pits, then suddenly pulled
up short and glanced at his wrist
watch
AimeeI" he exclaimed.
He had an appointment with Aimee
at five. and aa urgent one. 1t was al
ready past the hour. Billy set OF at
run. and In ten minutes reached the
rendezvous. Aimee was there already.
In rough serge walking-clOak and a
SnOoks hat trimmed with calico vlo-
lets. In spite of the costume she
looked vIvidly lovely.
"Mr. Chauffeur" said Aimee, severe

That isn't true. I've never seen you
