a reality, and that, further, it was in

conclusion that the ideals and objects

not be admitted officially: the abduc-

But we came to the conclusion that
the Black Gang was undoubtedly an
extremely powerful and ably led or
ganiZation whose object was simply
and solely to fight the Red element
In England. The means they adopted
were undoubtedly illegal-but the re-
suits We're excellent. Whenever man
appeared preaching Bolshevism, after
few days he simply disappeared In

CHAPTER XIV
In Which the Threads Are
Gathered Up

1t was a week later In Sir Bryan
Johnstone's Office two men were seat
ed, the features Of one of whom, at
any rate, were we'll known to the pub
lic Sir Bryan encouraged no note
riety: the man In the street passed
him by without recognition every
time But with his companion 1t was
different: as a member Of several sue
cessive cabinets, his face was we'll
known. And 1t is safe to say that
never in the course of a life devoted
to the peculiar vagaries Of politics had
that face worn such an expression Of
complete bewilderment.
