 They could not be in more cap bla hands" purre1 Mir, Honeybun. 1 Wllmot is probably in the stable yard. lem, take Miss Larkin round, will you and then come back to me"
 So Adela found herself trotting at the heels Of surly young man who novel xperience-evident didn't Ike her, Wilmot rss discovered in the eXtemporarized garage, lying on his back under the car, It vas claret-colored car, not yellow one, she vas quick 10 note.
 Wilmot scrambled 10 hts feet
 Miss Larkin desires few words with you said Mir James Honey bun. We want you 10 carry out whatever she suggests
 Left alone with Wilmot Adela studied the atrocious countenance with the keen scrutiny Of a student in anatomy. Cunning and cruelty were stamped on it and Adela re- ioiced, those being the qualities she needed for her project,
 "Wilmot you don't feel friendly towards Miss Lathrop's private de tectiye?" she began. 'I was sure of that He has been close 10 your tracks more than once lately, hap pen 10 know"
 50 do l." growled the chauffeur He topped up by taking the girl out Of my custody the other day"
 T heard of that replied Adela, leaving 1t 10 he inferred that she had been told by the Honeybuns, He is doubly dangerous since he hum bugged Inspector Roake into taking him on as an amateur helper"

 Nothing so noisy. Shant even firing 2 gun. Leave it 10 me. Il will either he fingers at his throat or cold steel in his ribs, There wont he any mistake. That's the swine that's been treading on my toes al along"
 Adela had promised Monkey-Facf that it would be dark at clever o'clock.

 T will try" was the rejoinder But I have got 10 be rude first,
