Marney caught his breath.
The brute was in the midst of its
spring when the German loosed his
shot. The impetus that had launched
, the creature from the path was still
there. for it passed its intended victim
by inches only and floundered to the
ground in a crumpled heap.
Everything began happening at once.
Dopmann was running toward the gate,
white faced and panic-stricken, with
a wounded thing as savage as wolf
Looping on three legs after him. Marney
had never seen SO much fear In
mans eyes before. A crash OF glass
from one of the outbuildings hailed the

MarneV was stamping W anu ~
with suppressed excitement. The
weapon he carried was pitifully obso-
lete. useless against the odds that were
multiplying themselves momentar1ly on
the other side of the gates. He had
made up his mind what he was going
to do. Cold FLOODED murder was abb
horrent to him, but there were more
reasons than one whv Dopmann's body
should be found in the vicinity OF the
Villa Sabine.
The German agent had conceived
this raid, conceived it and carried II
out-up to a point. 1t was up to Digh-
ton and himself to divert attention
from themselves. If they found Dop-
mann dead in the road, they would
think that one of the shots from the
window had been responsible.
Dighton had disappeared again. pur-
suing the same tactics, no doubt, as he
had tried on entering. There was only
the German in view; with the lone dog
gaining on him.

The American crossed TO the otneI

Another five minutes found him del

did not happen shortly he felt he
should go stark, raving mad.
Dopmann was moving along the side
of the house now, trying to find

escaped Marney's lips. The windows
were too high up and the Germans
