WALLING- TW "VONN YS MWS rTr&TT 60 PH Chapter It OOOD-BV, LAXTONH Laxton and Hallett were stand m over ma. I felt certain that I mi covered by leaiea piled a foot thick but aom part of me mutt be exposed. I waited In horror. A ilant hand came down and pinned my arm to the ground. Or o It teemed. But It was only a momentary sensation and fortu Batdy I did not cry out with the pain of It. Laxton or his com panion had walked over me. "Well." said Laxton, "that's a trail. Also, our young friend will not be able to get far without bis xoonoy. He cant have lugged that bar with him. Be must have got tt away before. The fellow who's supposed to have landed at St Michel bad nothing with him. I suppose nobody left the house while fou were there?1 "No. Vhen we went In he was saying good-by to a young fellow. I heard him call him Somerville, or Bomer-somethlng." "Somerfleld? Was Somerfleld carrying anything?" "No luggage, but a camera and a tand." "I wonder ... A camera, you aav? What sort of a camera?" "Couldnttell, except that It was a big one tn a yellow leather case." "I wonder ... be might . . . he's share . . . But why? . . . However, this does In my friend Qrenofen, eh? Re can't make much progress without this. Oo and call 'em in, Kallett. We'll lee whether Mr. 'Qrenofen can get through a net made of telephone wires. If he does my name's not Barlow." The rustling began again. They moved away. I lay perfectly still till the wood was silent and I heard Somerfleld stirring. "All clear, Orenofen." said he. "We're too near the open, Oren ofen. The woods are safe now. What Veronica does let her friends In fori When he found your dollars I thought it was a wash-out. sup pose they wriggled out of your pocket?" "No, I was holding them In ray hand. I must have dropped them getting under cover." We returned to the depths of the wood and found a secure hiding place not far from the little brake where the camera case was con cealed and waited what seemed In terminable hours of darkness. "Beginning to get the hang of it?" asked Somerfleld suddenly. It was aow eight o'clock still perfectly light even in that thick wood. "No, hanged if I am," said I "Have you got a cue?" "Hardly that But perhaps a way to find one. Think it out on any line, Orenofen, and you get driven up against Pell It we could pene trate to the personality hidden be hind the name of Pell, we'd be there, Orenofen,- We'd know why Pell was shot and what he had to do with that boodle, and the man who snaf fled It, and what both had to do with Veronica." That was undeniable. But Pell was dead. "Pell rvas known to people before he became Pell, and among those people were the Seabrokes." That was equally true, but the Seabrokes were not available. "And anyhow, Somerfleld, If MlM Seabroke hadn't wanted to keep that connection secret she'd have told me about It. Miss Seabroke wrote me a note I told you which seemed to show that she had cleared out of the mess and that was that." "Cleared out! You bet Veronica wrote that under compulsion. Yon heard what Pell said that after noon In the library about Sea broke exploiting his daughter and breaking her heart. Well. Sea- broke's mad on a marriage between t Veronica and the Fotherbury cub. And Veronica Isnt having any." How well I knew theft "But suppose." said Somerfleld. "the old man's got some hold on her. It strikes me, Orenofen, that Veronica may be wanting help lor herself before song." The suggestion put everytning else out of my mind. So." Somerfleld went on. -we've got to find Veronica and Veronica's got to tell us the truth about Pell. I cant think of a way of getting at Veronica, can you?" . If you can think or s way or. getting out of Laxton's net tonight Somerfleld," said I. "I think I can find a way of getting at Veronica."! Bully for you But wnere're we got to go?" "London, and tnen to Mrs. Fair fax." And then?" 'Mrs. Fairfax win know where the Seabrokes are likely to have gone." To be a fugitive Is unpleasant. To be a hungry fugitive la damna ble. We thought It too risky to re turn to Woodcot for food or to try to reach Somerfleld's house. Both would be watched. On that long tramp through the New Forest country I could have broken with out compunction Into any house we saw to get a loaf. On the way we met with no more startling adventures than the atten tion of barking dogs, but when we crept Into the railway precincts at Rlngwood and waited uu a train came In from the west and had been broken up and shunted and put together again, we were both nearly at the end of our tether. Unfortunately, as it seemed, this train went no further than South ampton, At three o'clock In the morning we were marooned in the midst of a railway desert. We awaited a chance of creeping unseen out of the railway yard, and found ourselves In a village called Totton, on the outskirts of South ampton. We walked toward the Uwn. It was a long way before we fmnd what we wanted an all night garage. A car for London I The sleepy man In charge looked dubious. Probably no plea of Illness would have stirred the man out of his lethargy; but. when Somerfleld took out his pocket bood and It bulged with notes, the effect was electrical. A chauffeur was discovered, a big car produced, the price of the trip arranged, with a tip for the janitor and a promise of one for the driver for speed. And when we had settled in the back of the oar and the lights of Southampton were left behind: 'Good-by, Laxton!" (To be Continued) KNIGHTS TO ELECT Mt.
