The car slowed up Iwfore the post olllcc nnd Hugh t-ot out Thorns wore one or two tilings ho proposed to do In London lieforc going to Goring, nnd It stnick Idm that a wlro to Velvr Darrell might allay thnt gentleman's uncnslnes If ho was Into In Retting down. So new was he to the tortuons wavs of crime, tlmt the foolishness of the proceeding never entered his hend: up to dnte In Ids life. If hi had wished to send a wire he had sent one. And bo It may be deemed a sheer fluke on Ids part, thnt a man dawdling by the counter aroused his suspicions. Ho was a perfectly or dinary man, chatting casually with the girl on the other side; but U chanced that. Just as nuRh was Hold Ing the postoftlce pencil up, and gaz- Ins at Its so-called point with an air of resigned anguish, the perfectly or dinary man ceased chatting and looked at him. Hugh caught his eye lor a fleeting secoad; then the con versation continued. And as be turned to pull oat the pad of forms. It struck him that the man had looked away Just a trifle too quickly. . . . A grin spread slowly over his face, and after a moment's hesitation be proceeded to compose a short wire. He wrote It In black letters for adi'l tional clearness; he also pressed his hardest, as befitting a blunt pencil. Then with the form In his hand he ad vanced to the counter. "How long will It take to deliver In Load onr he asked the girl. The girl was not helpful. It de pended, lie gathered, on a variety of circumstances, of which not the least was the perfectly ordinary man who talked so charmingly. "I don't think I'll bother, then." he said, thrustlug the wire into bis pocket. "Good morning. . . . He walked to the door, and shortly afterward big car rolled down the street. With what the girl considered pecu liar abruptness, the perfectly ordinary -man concluded bis conversation with her, and decided that he too would send a wire. And then, after a long nnd thoughtful pause at the writing bench, she distinctly heard an unmis takable "D a." Then he walked out, and she saw him no more. Moreover, It Is to be regretted that tlie perfectly ordinary man toM a He a little later In the day, when giving his report to wiine oue whose neck ap parently Inconvenienced him greatly. But then a lie is frequently more tactful than the truth, and to have announced that the sole result of his morning's labors hud been to decipher u wire addressed to The Elms, which contained tiie cryptic remark, "Stung again, stiff neck, stung again," would not liave been tactful. So lie lied, ns has been fctated, thereby showing Ills wisdom. . . . Hut though Orumraond chuckled to himself us the car rushed through the fresh morning air, once or twice a gleam that wits not altogether amuse ment shone In his eyes. For four years he had played one game where no mistakes were allowed; the little incident of the postofllce had helped to bring to hut mind the certainty that he had now embarked on another where, the conditions were much the same. That he had scored up to date was luck rattier than good manage ment, and he was far too Bhrewd not to realize It. Now he was marked, and luck with a marked man cannot be tempted too fur. Alone aud practically unguarded he had challenged a gang of International criminals; a gang not only utterly un scrupulous, hut controlled by a mas ter mind. Of its power as yet he had no cleur Idea; of Its size and Imme diate object he had even less. Per haps It was ns well. Had he realized even dimly the Immensity of the Is sues be wuh up ngulust, hnd he had but un Inkling of the magnitude of the plot conceived in the sinister brain of his host of the previous evening, then, cheery optimist though ho wus, oven Hugh Urummond might have wavered, Itut ho had no such 'Inkling, and ho the gleum In his eyes wus but transitory, the chuckle that succeeded It more whole-hearted than before. Was it not sport In u hmd llowiiig with strikes and profiteers; sport such as his soul, loved? "I am afraid, Mulllngs," he said as his car stopped In front of his club, -''that tho kindly gentleman with whom we spent last night has re pudiated his obligations. He refuses to meet the bill I gave hint for your services. Just wait here a moment." Ho went Inside, returning In a few moments with a folded check. "Itound the corner, Mulllngs, and an obliging fellah in u black coat will shovel you out tho necessary Hrad-, bnria." wink Adventures of A Denvobilized Officer Who Found Peace Dull CYRIL MNHLE 4 IIIustraHom by " TnWIN MYERS right by Geo H Doran Co The man gin need at the check. "Fifty pounds, sir!" he gasped. "Why Its too much, sir. . . I . . ." "The laborer. Mulling. Is worthy of his hire. You have been of the very greatest nsslstance to ran; and Incldentully, It Is more than likely that I may wnnt yon again. Now, where can I get hold of you J" "13 (.recti Street. 'Oxton, sir, 'lljil wnys find me. And any time, sir, ns you wants me, I'd like to come Just for the sport of the' thing." Hugh grinned. "Good lad. And it may be sooner than you think." TWO. Inside the Junior Sports club, Hugh Drummond was burying his no.e In n large tankard of the nle for which thnt cheery pot-house wns still fnm oua. A wnlter was arranging the first editions of the evening papers on a table, and Hugh beckoned to him to bring one. Cricket, racing, the latest divorce case, and the Intest strike all the usual headings were there. And he -was Just putting down the paper, to again concentrate on his problem, when a paragraph caught his eye. "STUANOK MCRDF.n IJf BELFAST "The man whose body was dlscov ered In such pecullnr circumstances near the docks has been Identified as Mr. James Granger, the confidential secretary to Mr. Hiram Potts, the American multi-millionaire, at present In this country. The unfortunate victim of this dastardly outrage his head, ns we reported In our last night's issue, was nearly severed from his body hnd apparently been sent over on business by Mr. Potts, nnd had arrived the preceding day. What be was doing In the locality in which he was found Is a mystery. "We understand that Mr. Potts, who has recently been Indisposed, has re turned to the Carlton, and Is greatly uptSJt at the sudden tragedy. "The police are confident that they will shortly obtain a clue, though the rough element In the locality where the murder wns committed presents great difficulties. It seems clear that the motive was robbery, as all the murdered man's pockets were rilled Itut the most pecullar.thlng about the case Is the extraordinary cure taken by the murderer to prevent, the ldentlfl cation of the body. Every article of clothing, even down to the murdered man's socks, hnd hnd the name torn out, nnd it wns only through the crim inal overlooking the tailor's tab Inside the Inner breast-pocket of Mr. Grang er's coat thnt the police were enabled to Identify the body." Drummond slid down the paper on his knees, nnd stnred a little dazedly at the club's Immortal founder. "Holy smoke! laddie," he' mur mured, "that man Peterson ought to-j be on the committee here. Verily, I believe, he could galvanize the staff Into some semblance of activity." "Did you order anything, sir?" A wnlter paused beside 1dm. . "No," murmured Drummond, "hut I will. rectify the omission. Another large tnnkard of ale." The ' waiter departed, and nugh picked up the pnper again. "We understand." he murmured gently to himself, "that Mr. Potts, who has recently been Indisposed, bus returned to the Carlton. , . . Now Hiat's very Interesting. . . He tit a cigarette, and lay back In his chair. "I was under the Impres sion that Mr. Potts was safely tucked up In bed, consuming semolina pud ding, at Goring. It requires elucldu- Hon?" "I beg your pardon, sir," remarked the wnlter, placing the beer on the table beside him. "l'ou needn't," returned Hugh. "Up to dnte you have Justified my fondest expectations. And as a further proof of my good will, I would like you to get me a trunk call 2 X Goring." A few minutes luter he was In the telephone box. "Peter, I have seldom been so glad to henr your voice. Is alt well? Good. Don't mention any names. Our guest Is there, Is he? Gone on strike ngulnst more mill: puddings, you say. Coax him, Peter. Make a noise like a sturgeon, und he'll think It's caviare. Have you seen the puperx? There are Interesting doings in llelfnst, which concern us rather Intimately. I'll be down later, and we'll have a pow wow," He hung up the receiver and stepped out of the box. "If, Algy," lie remarked to a man who wus looking nt tho tape machine outside, "the paper says u blighter's somewhere and you know he's some where else w hut would you do?" "Up to date In such cases I have al ways shot tho editor," murmured Algy I.ongworth, "Come and feed," "You're so helpful, Algy. A per fect rocl; of strength.

Incidentally, Toby Sinclair Is running round In circles asking for trouble. Let's rope him In." "Go nnd find him this afternoon Algy," snld Hugh rising. "And tell him to keep his mouth shut. I'd come with you. but It occurs to me that tho wretched Potts, bathed In tears at the Carlton, Is In need of sympathy. So long, old dear. Youll hear from mo In a day or two." Drummond sauntered, nl.ong PnJI Mall. He had told Longworth more or less on the spur of the moment. knowing that gentlemnn's capabilities to a nicety. Under a cloak of as sumed flippancy he concealed an Iron nerve which hnd never yet railed him; and. In spite of the fact that he wore nn entirely unnecessary eye- class, he could see further-Into a brick wull than most of the people who called htm a foot. It wns his suggestion of telling Toby Sinclair that caused the smile. For It had started a train of thought In Drummnnd's mind which seemed to him to be good. If Sinclair why not two or three more equnlly trusty sportsmen? Why not a gang of the boys? Toby possessed a V. C. nnd a goott a . . n one for there are grimes or hip t.u., and those grades nrc appreciated to n nicety by the recipient's brother officers If not by tho general public. The show would fit Toby like n glove;, . . Then there was Ted Jcru- Inghnm, who combined the roles of nn nmnteur nctor of more than aver age merit with nn nhlllty to lilt any thing at any range with every con ceivable type of firearm. And Jerry Seymour n the Flying corps. . . . Not n bad thing to have n Hying man up one's sleeve. . . . Ami pos sibly some one versed In the wajs of tanks might come In handy. . . . The smile broadened to a grin; surely life was very good. And then tho grin faded, nnd something sus piciously like n frown took Its place, For he had arrived nt the Carlton, nd reality had come back to him. Sir, Potts will see no one, sir," re marked the man 1owhom he ad dressed his question. "You are about tbe twentieth gentlcinnn who has been here already today." Hugh had expected this, and smiled genially. Precisely, my stout fellow," he re marked, "but I'll lay a small amount of money that they were newspaper men. Now, I'm not. And I think that. If you will hnve this note delivered to Mr. Potts, lie will see me." He sat down nt a table, nnd drew sheet of puper toward him. Two nets were certain: First, that tho man upxtulrs was not the real Potts; second, thnt ho was otie of Peterson's gang. Tho difficulty was to know ex- nctly how to word the note. There might bo some mystic pass-word, the omission of which would prove him un Impostor nt once. At length he took o pen and wrote rapidly; he would have to chance It, Urgent. A message from head quarters." He sealed tho envelope and handed It with the necessary five shillings for postuge to the man. Then he sut own to wait. After whnt seemed nn Intermlnahlo delay he saw the mes senger crossing tho lounge. "Mr. Potts will see yon, sir." Hugh followed his guide along a corridor, and paused outside u door while he went Into u room Ho heard murmur of voices, and then the' man reappeared. This wuy, sir," he said, nnd Hugh stcpiKMl .Inside, to, stop with an Invol untary gasp of surprise.

"And, Inrhlcnlnlly, your like tic to our lamented friend Is won derful, 11 very nearly ilerelred even mr." The mnn, not Ill-pleased, gave short laugh. "It'll puss, t think. Hut It's risky, These cursed retMirlers have been badgering the whole morning. And If his wife or somebody comes over, what then? It wasn't Ilk ltoson to bungle In llelfnst. lie' never left a clue before, and he tind plenty of time to do the Job prop erly." "A name Inside a breast-pocket might easily be overlooked," remarked Hugh, seising the obvious clue. "Are you making excuses for him?' snarled the other. "He's fulled, and failure Is death. Such Is our rule. Would you have It altered?" "Most certainly not. The. Issues are far too great for any weakness, . . "You're right, my friend you're right. Long live the Urolherhond He stared out of the window with smouldering eyes, and Hugh preserved a discreet silence. Then suddenly the other broke out again, . . . "Hnvo they killed that Insolent puppy of soldier yet?" "Er not yet." murmured Hugh mildly. "They must find tho American at once.' The mnn thumped the tntile emphatically. "It wus Important be fore nt least his money was. Now with this blunder It's vital." "Preclsojy," suld Hugh. "Precise ljr.M 'I've nlrendy Interviewed one mnn from Scotland Yanl, but every hour Increases the danger. However, you have a mcssajji for me. Whut Is It?' Hugh rnu and casually picked up Ids hat. He had got more out of tho Interview than he had hoped for, nnd there was nothing to be -gained by prolonging It. Hut It struck him that Mr. Potts' Impersonator wus n man of unpleasant disposition, and thnt tactically a flanking movement to the door wns Indicated. And, being of sn open nature himself. It Is possible thnt the real sfute of affairs showed for a moment mi his fare. Ite that ns It may, something suddenly uroimcd the other's suspicious, and with a snnrl of fury he sprung past Hugh to tbe door.
