BULL-BOG m druhmon: The next Instant he opnel door In the ekylltfit which Hugh had fulled to discover during the night, and, climbing down ladder luside the room, difcHHHarpd from view. "Hullu. old bean !" A cheerful shout from the kcouik' made Huh look down. TIhtc. niiisiM round lvtersoo. In an effective group, were IVter Par rvll, AIbjt Ijongworth, and Jerry Sey mour. "Itlrd's-nostlu'T" "I'eter, old soul." cried Hugh Joy fully. "I never thought the dav would come when I ghotild lie pleased to see your face, but It has!" "Ted and his pal, Hugh, have toddled off In jour car," said I'eter, "so that only leaves u four and Toby." Kor a moment Hugh stared at him Mankly, while he did some rapid men tal arithmetic. He even neglected to descend at once by the ladder which liad at last been placed In position. Ted and us four and Toby" made six and all was the strength of the party as It had arrived. Adding the pal made seven ; so who the deuce vms the palT The matter was settled Just as he reached the ground. I-akinRton. wild vyed and almost incoherent, rushed from the bouse, and. drawing Peter con on one side, spoke rapidly In a whisper. "It's all right." muttered Algy rap idly. "They're half way to London by now. and going like h If I know Ted." It was then that Hugh started to laugh. He laughed till the tears poured down his face, and Peterson's livid face of fnry made btru laugh still more. "Oh you priceless pair!" he sohbed. Right under your hally noses. Stole away! Yolcks!" There was another Interlude for further hilarity, "(ilve It up, you two old dears, and take to knitting. Well, au revolr. Doubtless we shall meet again quite soon. And. above all, I'nrt. don't do anything In Paris which yon would be ashamed of tny knowing." With a friendly wave he turned on his heel and strolled off. followed by the other three. The humor of the situation was Irresistible; the absolute powerlessiiesH of the whole assembled (rang to lift a Anger to stop them In front of the audience, which as yet showed no slpns of departing, tickled him to death. In fact, the lust thing ! Hugh saw, lief.ire a corner of the ; house hid th mo from sight, was the j majesty of the law moistening his in dellhle pencil In the time-honors! method, and advancing on Peterson xvlth his notebook at the ready. "One brief Interlude, my dear old "Warriors." announced Hugh, "and then we must get gny. Where's Toby?" "Having his breakfast with your airl." chuckled Algy. "We thought we'd better leave someone on guard, nd she seemed to love him best." "Kepulslre hound!" cried Hugh. "'InclOntnlly. boys, how did you man age to roll up this morning?" "We all bedded down at your girl's place last nlsbt," said Peter, "nnd then this morning, who should come and sing carols outside hut our one and only Polts. Then we heard your deafening diu on the roof, and blew along." TWO. :' "Co away," said Toby, looking up as the door 0ciicd and Hugh strolled In. "Yuur presence is unnecessary nd uncalled for, and we're not .pleased. 'Are we. Miss Iteiiton?" "Can you bear him, Phyllis?" re- marked Hugh, with a grin. "I meau lying about the house all day?" "What's the notion, old son?" Toby Sinclair stood up, looking slightly put tied. "I want you to atop here, Toby." aid Hugh, "and not let Miss Benton out of yonr sight. Also keep your eye sklnued on The Elms, and jet me know by 'phone to Half Moon street anything that happens. Vo you get me?" "I get you." answered the other. With a resigned sigh he rose and walked to ttie door. "I've got live minutes, little girl," whispered Hugh, taking her Into his arms as the door closed. "Five min utes of 'heaven. . . liy Jove! liut you look great simply great." The girl smiled at him. "Tell me whut's happened, boy," ahe said eagerly. "Quite a crowded night." With a reminiscent stnlle he lit a cigarette. And then quite briefly he told her of the events of the past twelve hours, being, os Is the manner of a man, mora Interested In watching the sweet color which stained her cheeks from time to time, and noticing her quickened breathing when he told her of his tight with the gorilla, and bis ascent of the murderous staircase. When he had finished, and pitched the stump of his cigarette Into the ftmte, fnlterlngly she tried to dissuade him.

And even as she spoke, she gloried In the fact that she knew It was quite useless. Which mnde her plead nil the harder, as Is the way of a woman with her man. Then, quite suddenly, he bent unj kissed her. "I must go, little girl," he whispered. "I've got to be In Paris tonight. Tute care of yourself." The next moment he wus gone. THREE. "Have you got him all right. Tedr Hm,'h flung the question eugrly lit Ted Jerningiiatn, who whs lotifiginit In a chair at Half M'Hin street, with his feet on the mantelnleiv. I "I've got Mil) right enoiiL'h." tin- gwered that worthy, "but he doe. n't Mrke me us being Number One value. Ie's KonP o(r the boil, liecome quite gugga ngain. "H I !" said Hugh, "I thought we might ret something nut of him. I'll go and have a look at the bird." He left the room, and went along the passage to Inspect the American. Unfortunately Jernlnghnm wus only too right: The effects of 1at night's Injection had worn off completely, and the wretched man was sitting motion less in a chair, staring dazedly In front of him. Thoughtfully Hugh stood In front of the millionaire, trying In vain to catch some gleam of sense in the vacant eyes. "What luck?" Jemlngbam looked up as he came back Info the other room. "Dam" all, as they say In the ver nacular. Have you blighters Hnl-hed the beer?" "lYobnhly," remarked Peter I'ar rall. "What's the program now'?" Hugh examined the head on his glass with a professional eye before replying. "Two things." he murmured ot length, "fairly leap to the eye. The first Is to get Potts away to a place of safety: the second is to get over to Paris." "Well, let's get gay over the first, as a kick-off." said Jenilnghntu, ris ing. 'There's a car outside the door; there Is Knglnnd at our disposal. We'll take blm away; you pud the hoof to Victoria and catch the boat train." "It sounds -too easy," remarked Hugh. 'Have a look out of the whi tlow, Ted, and you'll see a man fright fully busy doing nothing not far from the door. You will also see a racing car Just across the street. Put a wet compress on your bead, and connect the two." A gloomy silence settled on the as sembly, to be broken by Jerry Hey. mour suddenly waking up with' i start. "I've got the 'stomneh-ache,' " he an nounced proudly. His listeners gazed at hint un moved. "You shouldn't eat so fast," re marked Algy severely. "And you cer tainly oughtn't to drink that beer." To avert the disaster be Immedi ately consumed It himself, but Jerry was too engrossed with his brain storm to notice. "I've got the 'stomach-ache,' " he re peated, "and she ought lo be ready by now. In fact I know she Is. My lust crash wasn't a bad one. What about It?" "You . mean . . , T" said Hugh, sturlng at him. "I "iiie:in." answered Jerry, "that I'll go off to the airdrome now, and get her ready, llrlug Potts along In hnlf an hour, and I'll take him to the governor's place In Norfolk. Then I'll take you over to Paris." "Croat ! simply great !" With a report like a gnu Hugh hit the speak er on the back, Inadvertently knock ing him down. "Off you get, Jerry. Ky the way, how many will she hold?" "Two beside me," spluttered the proud proprietor of the Stomach ache. "And I wish you'd reserve your en dearments for people of your own site, you great, fat, hulking mon strosity." He reached the door with a moment to spare, and Hugh came buck laugh ing. "Verily an upheaval In the grey matter." he cried, carefully refilling his glass. "Now, boys, whut about Paris?" "Is It uecossnry to go at all?" asked Peter. "It wouldn't have been If the Tank hail been sane," answered Drum mond. "As It is, 1 guess I've got to. Now listen nil of you. Tvd off you go. and raise a complete waiter's out lit, dicky and all complete. Peter you come with me to the airdrome, and afterward hok up Midlines, at IS Creen street. 11 ox l on. nnd tell him to get In touch with nt bast fifty demobilized soldiers who are on for u scrap. Algy you hold the fort here. ami don't get drunk on my ule. I'eter will Join you. when he's lluhhisl with Mulllngs, and he's not to get drunk, either. Are you all on?" Ten minutes Inter he was nt the wheel of his car with Parrell nnd the millionaire behind. Put Hugh seemed In no great hurry to start. A whim sical smile was on his face, as out of the corner of his eye be watched the iron who hud Iwcn busy doing nothing feverishly trying to rrank his car. which, after the manner of (he brutes, hud seized that moment to Jlh. Still smiling, Hugh got out and walked up to the perspiring driver. "A warm day." he murmured. "Don't hurry; we'll wait for you." Then, while the man, utterly taken aback, stared at him speechlessly, he strolled back to his own car. "Hugh you're mad. quite mad." said I'eter resignedly, as with a splut tering roar the oilier car started, but Hugh still smiled. On the way to the airdrome he tojited twice nfter n block In the tratllc to make quite sun that the pursuer should have no chance of losing blm, and. by the time they were clear of tho4rnn"ic and spin ning toward their destination, the gen tleman In the cur behind fully agreed with Dnrrell. At first he bad expected some trick, being a erson of tortuous brain; but as time went nn, nnd nothing unex pected hnppened. be became assured. His orders were to follow the mil lionaire, and Inform headquarters where he wus taken to. And asstm-d ly at the moment It seemed efisy mon ey. Then, quite suddenly, the hum ming stopped and he frowned. Tim car In front had swung ofT the road. atid turned through the entrance of a small airdrome. What the dell wrs he to do now? Most assuredly be could not pursue an airplane on a mo tor even a racer. Itlludiy. without thinking, he did the first filng that came Into his bead. He left bis car standing where It was. nnd followed the others Into the airdrome on foot. Perhaps he could find out something from one of the mechanics; someon might be able to tell him where the plan' wss going. There she was with the car beside her. and already the millionaire was being strapied Into his sent. I iruin moti'l was talking to tbe pilot, nnd the sleuth, full of eagerness, accosted a passing mechanic. "fun you tell me where that air plane Is going to?" he asked Ingrati atingly. It was perhaps unfortunate that the said mechanic hnd Just had n large spanner dropped on his toe, ami his answer was not helpful. It was an education In one way, ami ot any oth er time the pursuer would have treat ed it with the resoct It deserved. Rut, as it was. It was unfortunate that I'eter Darrell should have chosen that moment to look round. And nil he saw wusibe mecnsnlc talking ear nestly to the sleuth. . . . Where upon he talked earnestly to Drum mond. ... In thinking It over after, flint un happy sleuth whose Job had seemed so easy, found It difficult to say exactly what hnpiened. All of a sudden he found himself surrounded by people all very affable and most conversa tional. It look him quite five minutes to get hack to his car. nnd by that time the plane was a speck In the west. Drumtnond was standing by the gates when he got there, with a look of profound surprise on his face. "One I have seen ofu-n," remarked the soldier; "two sometimes; three rarely; four never. I'nncy four punc tures all at the same time! Dear, dear! I positively insist on giving you a lift." He felt himself Irresistibly propelled toward Iirummoiid's car. with only time for a Heeling glimpse nt his own four Hat fires, and almost before he realized It they were away. And It was then that the man he hud thought mud laughed gently. "Is It nil right, Peter?" Hugh asked. "All sufo," came a voice from bo hind. "Then dot him one!" The sleuth hnd a Heeling vision of stars of all colors which (lanced be fore bis eyes, coupled with a stun Ing blow on the hack of the head. Vaguely he realized the ear was pull ing up then bluckness. FOUR. "My dinir fallow, J told you we'd git liere soim'Tiow." Hugh TM uinuioiiil stretched his legs luxuriously. "The fact that It was necessary to crash your blinking bus In a stray held In order to avoid their footling pass port regulations Is absolutely Imma terial. The only damage Is a dent In Ted's dicky, but all the best wallers have Hint. They smear It with soup to show their energy. , . , My Hod I lien's another of ttieni." A Krcnchman was ailvnming to ward them down the stately vestibule of the Kill waving protesting hands. He addressed himself In a voluble cnscendo to Driiinmond. who rose and bowed deeply. His knowledge of French was microscopic, but such tri fles were made to be overcome. The Frenchman produced a note hook. "Voire nolo, M'sleur, ail vous plait?" "Undoubtedly, mon t'obaiel," re marked Hugh vaguely. "Nous crash ons dans " "He warns your name, old dear." murmured Jerry weakly. "Oh, doe he?" Hugh beamed on the gendarme. "Yihi priceless little bird! My iinuie In Captain Hugh Drumiuond." And as he spoke, a man sitting close by, who had 1 n tin nmused oubsiker of the whole a-ciic. stiffened sudib-nly In his chair and stared hard at lliu;b. It was only for a s ml, nnd then he vas once more merely the politely lute rctc-d spiM iiitor. Hut Hugh had ! seen that quick look, though he gave no sign; and when nt last the French man departed, apparently satlslled, he leaned over and spoke to Jerry. "See that limn with Hie suit of hand ine dowiis and the cigar?" he re marked. "He's In tbe game; I'm Just wondering on which side." He was not left long In doubt, for barely had the suing doors chtsed behind the gendarme, when tbe man In question rose and came over to him.
