gurgle. Apart from the embarrassment

Soapy, alone at last, did not delay.
With all the energy that had been ac-

kicks. The panel splintered. The lock
snapped. The door swung open.
There was an electric switch inside
the cupboard. He pressed It down and
was able to see clearly. And, having
seen clearly, he, drew back, his lips
trembling with half-spoken words Of a

still much perturbed.

"And collect the stuff"

No program could have outlined more

table and drained 1t with gesture al
most swashbuckling.
"Soapy will have doped the old man
by this time, eh?"
That's right"

said Mr.. Twist, with return OF his old
nervousness. Suppose he hasn't had

That's right" he chuckled.
He nodded his head complacently.
And immeditely something seemed to
strike him on the base Of the skull. He
had been standing by the table, and
now, crumpling at the knees, he slid
gently down to the floor. Dolly drew
in her breath little sharply, and then,
being a woman at heart, took q cushion
from the armchair and placed 1t be-
meath his head.
Only then did she go to the telephone
and ask the operator to connect her
with Rudge Hall.
"Soapy?"
"Hullo!"

knockout drops nestled in his waist
coat pocket, but, to bring about the
happy ending, it was necessary for him
to transfer them to the interior OF
Mr.. Lester Carmody. And, little By
little, there crept upon Soapy the
realization that he had not a notion
how the deuce this was to be done.
The whole question of administering
knockout drops Is very delicate and
complex one. So much depends on the
party of the second part. Before you
action your victim must be induced tc
start drinking something.
When you are guest In a mans
house you cannot very well go about
thrlSting drinks on your host at half
past IL in the morning. Probably Mr.
Carmody would not think of taking
liquid refreshment till lunch time, and
there would be butler in and out OF
the room all the while. Besides, lunch
would not be for another two hours OF
more, and the whole essence of this
enterprise was that it should be put
through at once.
MIR. Molloy wandered into the garden,
turning the problem over In his mind
with growing desperation, and had just
come to the conclusion that he was
mentally unequal to it, when, reaching
the low hall that bordered the moat.
he saw q sight that sent the blood
coursing joyously through his veins once
more.
Out in the middle of the moat lay
the punt. In the punt sat Mr.. Car
molly. And in Mr.. Carmody's hand was
