their mark in the front tire.
Dick tried to hold the car in the

Dick sat up. He put his head in

Lord Mountwyn almost collided with
him in the hall.
"Deuced queer!" Dick remarked.
I'm going out and have a look

There's no one out there now, my

I'VE better have a look" Dick said.
Come on, sir"
AS though reluctant, Lord Mount

they seemed to be carrying an inert

Dick Starts Pursuit.
A car shot away along the drive

He saw another car standing In the

foot on the starter. There was no
response in the motor. Fool! He

Quietly they moved forward and
presently saw the house standing
amid the trees. The fog had lifted

a pale light on the dark and sinister

Dick stopped and held up his hand

strange conduct.
Why had his lordship protested
against pursuing these men? Was
he in league with the enemy? Dick
pushed the thought away as un-
worthy.

The red light grew brighter. He
