CHAPTER v
In Which the Bag of Nuts Is
Found by Accident

1t was the desk that saved Drum
mond, and with him Ted birmingham.
Fiat on their faces, their arms cover
ing their heads, they lay on the floor
waiting, as in days gone by they had
waited for the bursting of too-near
crump. They heard Ginger Martin,
as he blundered round the room, and
thsn-suddenly 1t came.
There was a deafening roar, and a
sheet Of flame which seemed to fill
the room. Great Jumps Of the ceiling
rainsd down and the big roll-top desk
cracked In pieces and splintered into
matchwood, fell over on top Of them.
But 1t had done its work; 1t had borne
the full force Of the explosion In their
direction. As desk It's day was past:
It had become series Of holes rough
ly held together by fragments Of wood.

the aid Of his torch. With the ex-
plosion all the lights had gone out

CHAPTER vi
In Which There Is a Stormy
Sxpper PARTY at the Ritz

It was just about the time that
Ginger Martins wife became, all un-
consciously, widow that the sitting
room bell Of a certain private suite
in the Ritz was rung. The occu-
pants Of the room were two In num-
ber-a man and a woman-and they
had arrived only that morning from
the Continent. The man, whose sig
nature In the register announced him
to be the Reverend Theodosius Long
moor-looked a splendid Specimen of
the right sort of clergyman. Tall,
broad -shouldered, with pair OF
shrewd, kindly eyes and a great mass
of snow-white hair, he was the type
of man who attracted attention where
ever he went, and In whatever society
he found himself. A faint twang In
his speech betrayed his nationality
and, indeed, he made no secret OF It,
He was an American born and bred
who had been seeing first hand for
himself some Of the dreadful horrors
of the famine which was ravaging
Central Europe.
And with him had gone his daugh-
ter Janet-that faithful, constant
companion Of his, who since her moth
ers death had never left him. She
was a good-looking girl, too-thOugf
perhaps uhkind people might have
said girlhood's happy days had reced
ed somewhat into the past. Thirty

father always alluded to her as "MJ
| little girl"
There was something very sweet anC
touching about their relationship; his
pride in her and her simple, loving
alteration for dad. Undoubtedly a
charming couple, had been the verdic

simple, SO fresh, so unassuming II
these days Of complexity and double
dealing.
After dinner, because his little Jane
was tired, the Reverend Theod~siu
and his daughter remained In thei
suite.
And for two hours until he got III
and rang the bell, the Reverend TheO
| dosius was engrossed in work; whil
his little Janet, lying on the sofa dis
played considerably more leg than on
would have expected <icar's daugh
ter even to possess. And occasional
gurgles Of laughter seemed to prov

There Was q Deafenlng Roar, and a
Sheet Of Flame Seemed to Fill the
Room.
and for while he lay pressed against
Ted birmingham trying to recover his
wits. His head was singing like a
bursting kettle: his back felt as If 1t
was broken where a vast lump Of
ceiling had hit him. But after moving
his legs cautiously and then his arms,
he decided that he was still alive. And
having arrived at that momentous con-
clnsion the necessity for prompt action
became evident. A bomb bursting In
London is not exactly private affair.
"Ars you all right, TedT" he NUT
tered hoarsely, his mouth full Of plas-
ter and dust.
II think 80, old man." answered Jer-
ingham, and Drummond heaved a
sigh of relief. II got whack on the
back of the head from something"
Drummond scrambled to his feet,
and switched on his torch. The
wrsckage was complete, but it was
for the third member Of the party
that he was looking. And after mo-
ment or two he found him, and cursed
with vigorous fury that boded Ill for
the person who had thrown the bomb,
II he ever met him,
For Ginger Martin, being either too
frightened or too ignorant, had not
done as he was told. There had been
no desk between him and the bomb
when it burst, and what was left OF
him adorned a corner. There was
nothing to be done: the unfortunate
crook would never again burgle q safe.
And the only comfort to Drummond
was that death must have been abso-
lutely instantaneous.
"Poor DEVIL" he muttered. "Some
one 10 going to pay for this"
And then he felt birmingham clutch
ing his arm.
IT'S blown a hole in the wall, man
Look"
It was true: he could see the light
Of a street lamp shining through q
great jagged hole.
"soms bomb," he muttered. Lets
clear"
He gave q final fash Of his torch
round the foor, az they moved toward
the shattered wall. and then suddenly
stopped.

Right in the center of the beam, ly
ing in the middle of the floor, was {

His servant came into the room car
rying the chamois leather bag which
he handed to Drummond.
The door closed behind him, and
Hugh stared thoughtfully at the bag
in his hand.
"Pd forgotten about this Saw it

hoped it. Hullo it's sealed"

Hugh laughed and ripped open the
bag; then his eyes slowly widened In
amazement as he saw the contents.

devil have we got herer
He emptied the bag out on to the
table, and for a moment or two the
others stared silently at half dozen
objects that flashed and glittered with
a thousand fires. Five OF them were
white: but the sixth-appreciably
larger than the others, and they were
the size Of walnuts-was a wonderful
rose pink.

Saving Faith

Read Luke 1860. Text: $50.
Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
peace.
Meditation-Go in peace! How our
souls long for quiet times and our
feet for smooth places. But if life
teaches one lesson before all others,
1t is that the price must first be paid
"a price of toll, of searching and
Of discipline. In faith we must work
out our own salvation. then the
peace of God will enter our hearts.
Sometimes it comes by the door
of memory and sometimes by the
door of hope. Sometimes 1t is borne
to us by the ministry of human
speech and kindness. But always it
brings us the sense of a Presence.
