last vision Drummcnd had of him be
fore the doors closed was a benevo
lent old clergyman beaming- at him
solicitously from behind a pair of
horn-rimmed spectacles.
And now came his only chance.
Surely there would be some one who
would recognize him below; surely
the hall porter, who in the past had
received many a tip from him, must
realize who he was in spite of the
hat pulled down over his eyes. But
even that hope failed. The elderly
party in the invalid's chair who had
come half an hour ago was now go
ing, and there was no reason why the
porter should suspect anything. He
gave the two men a hand lifting the
chair into a big and very roomy lim
ousine car which Drummond knew
was certainly not his, and the next
instant they were off.
He could see nothing the hat was
too far over his eyes. For a time he
tried to follow where they were going
by noting the turns, but he soon gave
that up as hopeless. And then, after
driving for about h:ilf an hour, the
car stopped and the two men got out,
leaving him alone. He could hear a
lot of talking going on, but he ddin't
try to listen. He was resigned by
this time utterly indifferent; his
only feeling was a mild curiosity as
to what was going to happen next.
The voices came nearer, and he
found himself being lifted out of the
car. In doing so his hat was pulled
back a little so that he could see, and
the first thing he noticed was his own
new Rolls-Royce. They couldn't have
brought it to the Ritz, he reflected,
where it might have been recognized
and an unwilling admiration for the
master brain that had thought out
every detail, and the wonderful or
ganization that allowed them being
carried out, took hold of his mind.
The men wheeled him alongside his
own car; then they lifted him out of
his chair and deposited him on the
back seat. Then the Italian and tne
other man who had been at the Ritz

Service and the Small
Account
This bank is a service institution organized to meet finan
cial necessities of its depositors. The amount of its ser
vice to its dpeositors often depends on the bank balances
they maintain.
This bank must carefully protect the funds deposited
here by its depositors. Money can be loaned only when
we feel sure that it will be safe. When a depositor main
tains a reasonably large, steady .balance, it js an indica
tion to us that he knows how to use money successfully.
It gives us a reason to believe that loans to him will be
safe. That is one reason why depositors who maintain
large balances get better service from their bank. They
are entitled to it.
And even more than that, a large balance provides
the depositor with sufficient funds to take care of emer
gencies and business opportunities that may arise.

sat down one on each side of nim,
while a third man took the wheel.
"Look slippy. Bill," said the big
man beside him. "A boat will be
coming through about half-past nine."
A boat! What was that about a
boat? Were they going to send him
out to sea and let him drown? If so,
what was the object of getting his
own car? The hat slipped forward
again, but he guessed by some of the
flaring lights he could dimly see that
they were going through slums. The
headlights were on, and Hugh judged
they were going about thirty-five
miles an hour. And he also guessed
that it w-as about forty-five minutes
before they pulled up, and the en
gine and lights switched on. The men
beside him got out, and he promptly
rolled over into a corner, where they
left him lying.
"This is the place to wait," he heard
the Italian say. "You go on, Franz,
to the corner, and when it's ready
flash your torch. You'll have to stand
on the running-board. Bill, and steer
till he's round the corner into the
straight. Then jump off no one will
see you behind the headlights; I'm
going back to Maybrick tower."
And then he heard a sentence which
drove him impotent with fury, and
again set him struggling madly to
move.
"The girl's there. We'll get orders
for her in the morning."
There was silence for a while; then
he heard Bill's voice.
"Let's get on with it. There's Frani
signalling. We'll have to prop him
up on the steering wheel somehow."
They pulled Drummond out of the
back seat of the car, and put him in
the driver's seat.
"Doesn't matter If he does fall over
at the last moment. H will look as if
he'd fainted, and make the accident
more probable," said the Italian, and
Bill grunted.
"Seems a crime, he muttered, "to
smash up this peach of a car." He
started the engine and switched on
the headlights; then he slipped her
straight into third speed and started.
He was on the running-board beside
the wheel, steering with one hand and
holding on to Drummond with the
other. And as they rounded the cor
ner he straightened the car up and
opened the throttle. Then he jumped
on" and Drummond realized the game
at last.
A river was in front a river span
ned by a bridge which swung open
to let boats go through. And it was
open now. He had a dim vision of a
man waving wildly; he heard the
crash as the car took the guarding
gate, and then he saw the bonnet dip
suddenly; there was a rending, scrap
ing noise underneath him as the
framework hit the edge; an appalling
splash and silence.
