Before Osborne teas murdered ho had lived with the Gnwllands, and Jerry ts trying to get some information from Mrs. Goulland, Chapter 4t EXPLOSION QUICK as an eel Jimmy twisted himself around, and thrusting Molly In front of me, I followed them down the passage. By the time I rained the main corridor, Jimmy had already crossed the hall. He flung open the door exactly as Molly reached It, and In another mo ment the Arm ground was beneath our feet, and we were all three run ning far the Iron gate. I was Just thanking my stare that I hadn't locked It when with appalling sud denness the end came. There was a rumbling roar behind ns; something struck me Tlolently between the shoulder blades, and half paralyzed by a sickening stab of pain, I pitched forward full length on the rough gravel. "GawdlUTUs!" Jimmy's gasped-out exclamation was the first thing to penetrate Into my numbed brain, and struggling up on to my banda and knees, I stared vacantly about me. The whole causeway was littered with pieces of broken masonry. One huge block, lust to my right, had half embedded Itself In the grass, and stretched out beside It, white and Inert, lay the prostrate figure of Molly. With a horrible fear clutching at my heart I crawled painfully to wards her. "Molly!" I cried. "Molly, darling!" At the sound of my voice she opened her eyes. For a moment she still seemed utterly dated; then as I slid my arm round ber and lifted her gently up, life and consciousness ebbed back Into her face, i "What's happened, Nick?" she fal tered. "I I thought we'd air been killed." ' "It's a miracle we weren't. The whole place has been blown to smithereens." I dragged out my handkerchief, and very tenderly wiped the dust and mud from her cheek. "Are you hurt?" I asked. "Did any of that stuff hit you?" "No, I don't think ao. I Just heard a roar, and then I don't remember anything else. I guess I must have fainted or something silly like that." She drew In a quick breath. "And you, Nick?" "Nothing to grumble about," I re plied. "I stopped a brickbat or some thing with my shoulder, but It doesn't seem to have done me any particular harm. I looked round for Jimmy and dis covered him almost at my elbow. Like both of us be was covered from head to toot with white dust, and a thin trickle of blood waa ooslng from his nose. "What's up, sir?" he demanded breathlessly. "The young lady ain't copped It 'as she?" "We're both Intact, Jimmy," I s sured him. "How about you?" "Me, sir? Oh, I'm fine. Bumped me nose a bit when I come down but that ain't nothing." He wiped away the blood with his hand and cast a slightly awed glance at the smoking ruin behind us. "Made a decent Job of It, 'aren't they, air? Never seen a better bust up, not even In the pictures." IN A sobering flush, the danger of our position suddenly camo home to me. "We mustn't stsy here," I said hastily. "That devil Orloff can't be far away, and If he sees that we've . escaped . . ." I broke off. "We must get down under the bank and make for the boat." I added. "Do you think you can manage It, Molly?" With the aid of my hand she scrambled shakily to hor feet "Yes. I'm all right, Nick. It's Jerry 1 m thinking of. Oughtn't we . . ." "He knows what happened," I In terrupted. "It he's alive he's on his way back now. Our best chance Is to lie up under those gorse bushes and wait for him there." She raised r further opposition, and disregarding the unpleasant pain that was gnawing at my right shoulder, I led the way forward to the gate. From here to the beaeh the dls lance was not more than fifty yards. The low-lying ground betwoen was protected from the tide by r rough FOR MANY RECRUITS The U. 8.

To my Intense relief It was still there. One of us must look out for Jer ry," I said. "You'd better do that, Molly, while we get the boat launched. Keep behind those bushes, and don't show yourself unless you see blm." Nodding her head silently she moved towards the gorse, and with out further delay Jimmy and I set about our task. It took us some time, tor I could only make use of my left arm. Jimmy, however, performed his share of the work manfully, and af ter several pauses for rest, we suc ceeded In tugging our craft to the water's edge, from which position she could be pushed off at a mo ment's notice. This done, we crawled back to where Molly was lying, and dropped down alongside of her. There's no sign of him, Nick, she whispered. "I'm beginning to feel frightened." You needn't worry yet, I re plied. "He's got that pistol of Daw son's with him, and If thore'a any trouble he won't stick at using It. All we can do Is to wait here until he chooses to show up." SHE, glanced round at us both. "You're the most wonderful boy In the world, Jimmy," she said In a low voice. "How did you know that we were locked In, and however did you manage to get ashore?" He scratched bis head. "It was like this, miss. I was sitting up on deck 'avlng a look at the place when all of a sudden I see a bloke com In' sneakln' out of the front door. "Soon as I clapped my eyes on 'lm I knew who 'e was. 'Gosh,' I says to meself, 'If It ain't that bllnkln' doc tor!' and before the words, as you might say, was 'ardly out of me mouth, 'e'd nipped off round the cor ner and was legging It away up the road. "Well, It didn't take me long to guess that 'e'd done the dlrly on you, so 1 off with me boots and shirt and drops In over the side. The tide was running a bit strong like, but I ain't what you might call a bad 'and at swimming got a prize for It al the Battersea baths last year, I did. 'It was that bloomln door tbsi was the real trouble.

"Lucky I did, too, or we wouldn't 'alf be In a mess now." We both stared at him for a mo ment without speaking. "James," 1 said slowly, "as Miss O'Brien has remarked, you're a bloody marvel. If we ever got out of thla . . ." "Look, Nick, look! There he Is straight In front of us." Molly, who had turned round again, was pointing through the bushes, and, Jumping to my feet, I caught sight of the distant figure of Jerry Just emerging through a gap In the hedge that hounded the lane. He was heading In the direction of the factory. "Shall I give Mm a whistle, sir?" Inquired Jimmy. "Not a bad Idea," I agreed. He Inserted two grimy fingers In to the corners of his mouth and emit ted a shrill blast. Jerry pulled up sharply. For a moment he stood gazing about him, and then as a second snd still more penetrating summons echoed across the marsh, he wheeled round and came hurrying towards us. "You'd bettor tell him, Nick," said Molly. "No good our both trying to tslk." Picking his way from one Arm tuft to auother until he reached the path, Jerry broke once more Into a steady run. Even if we had escaped observa tion till then, any further attempt at hiding ourselves was obviously fu tile, so parting the bushes I stepped forward Into the open. Without a word Molly slipped through after me. "You can take It easy," I called out. "We're quite safe, alt three of us." Muddy and dishevelled, his old waterproof smeared with dark stains. Jerry stumbled hurriedly up the slope. There was a queer look in his eyes, which I hsd nover exactly seen before, a look of overwhelming reller, coupled with a ktnd of sup pressed excitement.
