continued, land as I looks
i around I see the doctor lift
in out the young lady.
There was another bloke come down
the steps to 'elp ina whoppin' great

Looked like it, sir. Any'ow she
didn't struggle or sing out or nothin'
o. that sort"
What did you do them"
"Sneaks along to the bottom o the
street and climbs over the railin's. You
couldn't kid me that there dirty -lookin'
place was a 'orspital, and If they'd
zone and took 'er somewhere else,
reckoned I'd better stop around bit
and see wot 'appened."
We'll done, Jimmy!" I broke in.
you've got more sense and CUTS than
10 ordinary boys"
He flushed with pleasure. Don't
know how long it was was waitin'
there, sir. Seemed a bit of time
like, and then, just as it started rain
in, out comes the doctor again and
drives on in is car. The windows
was all down and there didn't seem
to be no one else about, so I thinks
to meself-now's the time to ave look
round.
Wharf lane, sir-that's wot the
streets called, and it turns outer
Bishops terrace. There's q bridge
over the canal just before you comes
to it, and the water runs along at
the back behind the builders yard and
the two 'ouses.
II writes down the names with bit
o. pencil, so as I won't forget 'em, and
then I reckons that the best thing I
can do is to come along ERE and tell
you. didn't know much where was,
but I walks back along Bishops ter
race, and at the top picks up bloke
with a truck, who was havin' drink
at a cawfee stall. e was comm this
way and he give me q lift as far as

He stared at me anxiously. II 'ope

Done right" echoed. "By heaven,
Jimmy, should think you had!"
took two or three PAGES up and
down the hall-my mind working with
feverish rapidity. Astounding as the
boys story might be, its explanation
was all too hideously plain. No matter
how the drugging and kidnapping had
been arranged, Molly was unquestion-
ably in Orloff's hands. The house to
which he had taken her was probably
some obscure den belonging to him.
self.
He doubtless intended to hold her
as . hostage while bargaining with
me for the formula, and when I
thought of her bewildered terror as she
recovered consciousness and wondered
what had happened to her, . sudden
and savage resolve famed up in my
heart.
"It's bad business. Jimmy" I said
quietly. We've got to get her out Of
this at once. Will you come along
with me now and show me where the
place is?"
He nodded eagerly. "You bet, sir.
Wouldn't be no use my goin' back to
the 'otel. I'll get the sack tomorrow,
anyway"
