The bou has fol lowed tl.s car. and is tclltno Slrk about the place to which she has been taken. Nick suspects foul ploy from the unscrupulous Peter Orloff. who also wants the formula.

There was another bloke come down the steps to 'elp 'Im a whoppln" great feller 'he was too blgser'n you, sir. They carries 'er Inside be tween 'em, and shuts the door." "Was she still unconscious?" I asked. "Looked like It, sir. Any'ow she didn't struggle or sing out or nothln' o' that sort." "What did you do then?" "Sneaks along to the bottom o' the street, and climbs over the ratlin's. You couldn't kid me that there dirty lookln' place was a 'orspltal, and It they'd gone and took 'er somewhere else, I reckoned I'd better stop around a bit and see wot 'appened."

"I'll see to It, sir." "And there's one other thing. Have you got a bit of paper handy?" He steppedi inside the study, and came out with a writing pad. "I'm going to leave a note for Sir Jerrold," I explained, "Just In case be gets back before we do." I SAT down on the end of the carved oak chest and scribbled the fol lowing: 1 h. m.

"By L' Heaven, Jimmy, I should think you had!" I took two or throe paces up and down the hall my mind working with fererlsh rapidity. Astounding as the boy's story might be, Its ex planation was all too hideously plain. Ko mnttr bow the drugging and kidnapping had been arranged, Molly was unquestionably In Or loff's hands.
