that he might give the whole show

at him with some admiration
THAT was pretty clever Of you.
How did you do it,"
That's keep" answered Gun.
THE main point is that I know
their little game now. It means
that we've got to get away from
here, and very soon, if we're tc
prevent such destruction and loss
of life, it gives one cold shivers tc
think about it. We mustn't worry
about anything else at the mo-
ment, but just how to get away"
"And that won't be easy" COM
mented the girl. "Have you got
any sort of plan?"
Yes, a rough one. But we can
discuss it later. I want to tell you
what this scheme of your friends
over there really amounts to. Have
you any idea?"
"Only the vaguest. I gather
there's going to be a big holdup,
and someone's likely to get hurt
in the process. They've a regular
arsenal over there, with enough
stock in it to blow up a village"
"It's more than a village they
intend to blow up" Gun interrupt-
ed, grimly. "Listen-here's the
scheme in a nutshell. There seem
to be three parties concerned.
Firstly, some immensely wealthy
men who are financing the scheme.
Secondly, a group of financiers
who can work the stock market"

, mo doubt" Guns voice was
grimmer than ever. "And the third
group are the practical men-the
|men who are to do the dirty work.
Your friend Otto seems to be in
charge of that section. And the
idea is, in a sense, a very simple
one. On a certain day-or, more
likely, night-an airplane will fly
over London. simultaneously or
as nearly SO as possible-another
one will appear over Berlin. Each
of these machines will drop three
or four bombs on the busiest part
Of the alphabetically wrecking

Good heavens!" Coral had gone
pale, and stared at Gun with star
lied eyes. But WHY-what's the
object?"
"On1y this. Immediately after
the bombing, in both London and
Berlin, an intensive propaganda
scheme will be put into operation.
It will be rumored that the ma
chine that bombed Berlin was a
British one, and that the one that
bombed London was an Italian one
Thus the temper of the popula-
ton of both countries will be
reused to fever pitch. There will
be instant danger of War-a dan
ger that may well become fact
and in consequence there will be
a panic on the stock exchanges Of
three countries-England Ger
many and Italy. And to men who
can control the markets, and who
know beforehand what is going to
happen, it will be easy to make
an enormous fortune"
Good heavens!" Coral gasped
again. Even she was overcome
with the enormity of the scheme.

We are the only ones outside the
