A deluge of urf swept over u, half filling the well, but fhaking herself like a drenched dog. ths stout little ship struggled gal lantly on. Twice she bumped heavily, pitch ing me against the rail. Then an other blinding torrent poured In ovor our bows, and with a final con vulsive shudder we slithered for ward Into deep water. "They've found It look st 'em!" Jerry's voice rang out clear above tlia roar of the breakers, and open ing my eyes I stared back over the dripping counter. I was Just In time to witness the end. Fifty yards behind us, In the very center of the fairway, the big cut ter was slowing drunkenly round. I saw Orlolt spring to his feet, and at the same Instant. the heavy boom swung over with a crash. It caught him full on the side of the head, knocking him backwards Into the sea. Then a huge wave broke against the stranded vessel, burying her from my sight beneath a cloud of spray. aro hound to come right In the long run. 1 expect they enn't quite make up their minds what to do about Mrs. Gowlland." "How Is she?" I asked. "You went to ace her last night, didn't you?" Molly nrai'led. "She's still at the same hmiHO In rlnuKo of that police woman. They've been quite nice and all that sort of thing, but even now she doesn't know whether they're going to prosecute her, "I wish they'd settle It one war or the other. I've taken a couple of furnished rooms for her at Bourne mouth under another name, and If they'll only lot hor out sho can go down there and get well. After that I mean to give her some money and send hor to Now Zealand. She's got an unmarried brother out there, who's devoted to her. She's going to llvo on his farm and look after him." "yOU'HE a brick, Molly," I said, 1 stroking her hair. "I wlBh all beautiful women were as kind as you ore." She loaned ovor and kissed me. "Don't he so foolish, Nick. There's nothing kind about helping Mrs. (lowlland why, I just feel I can't do too much for her. If she hadn't told us the truth, we'd never have found the formula." "Talking of that," I said, "I won-: i'Ww . x ' " - J-i r , ""i-'zf. I ' gk 'Af m M u . .fk&. el s i?. VAN b MARINGBH-'-. I stared back over the dripping coupter. It was Jerry who was tho first to speak. "Which of tho swine was It, Nick?" ho aakod. "Not by any fclmnce your pal rotor?" 1 spat out a large mouthful of the North Sea. "I'm afraid so," I replied. "It's very annoying, because there were quite a lot of things I wanted to sny to him." ' "rvON'T got up, Nick darling. I'll U light It for you." Molly struck a match and held It to the clgaret which I had Just placed between my Hps. , "What did the doctor think about you this morning?" she asked. . "He was most encouraging. Said that I'd monded up In great style, and that as far as he could see tho shoulder would be as good as ever." 1 settled myself back gingerly against the cushions. "I'll have these bandages off In another v.eek," I added, "and then we can got mar ried." Molly gave a llttlo contented laugh. "Better sny a fortnight. You might hurt It again If you started hupglng me too soon." "All the best games,' I objected, "have a certain element of danger. It's supposed to add to their attrac-' tion." The door opened and Paw son ad vanced towards the sofa, carrying i a tray. j "Your hoof tea, sir." I eyed him with some disfavor. "I'm sick of beef tea," I said. "Couldn't i have something else Just for a chimge?" "Not until lunch time, sir. The doctor was particularly Arm on that point." Molly palled my arm. "Me a good hoy and drink It up, Nick. Jerry and Mi. CrosHwell will bo hero In a few minutes, and they're sure to have some news for us." "I hope srt," 1 said, tnklng a reluc tant sip, "I don't know exactly what the Home Ollleo aro plnylng at, but It's quite time they got a move on of some sort." "They've been horribly slow." agreed Molly. "All the same, thlncs dor when wo bIioII hear from Avon, lie's hnd It for over a week now." "Oh, I'm not worrying. Father never mado mistakes, and hoHides, according to Mr. Crusswell, Sir Wil liam was absolutely convinced the momout he-road it. They must tost the thing, of course, and that's bound to tako a llttlo time." "Well, I wIf.Ii they'd hurry up," I said. "If It's all correct I shall have to buy soma striped trousers and a morning coat. One can't marry a mllllonnfross In a lounge suit." . Thera was a bang outside, fol lowed by voices In the hall, and the noxt moment Jerry and Mr. Cross woll appeared In tho doorway. "I said thoy'd have 40 mo good r.ows!" Molly jumped up and darted towards thorn. "Oh, do toll us what It is. 1 enn see I'm right from your faces." Jerry caught her two hands, and drawing hor towards him, kissed her gently but firmly on the tip of tho nose. "Keep cool, my child," he said: "(Ills Celtic impulsiveness is out of plnco in a sickroom." lie turned to Mr. CresBwell. "What about It?" he inquired. "Shall I spill the glad tid ings, or will they come more im pressively from you?" The lawyer smiled. "Go ahead with your report. Sir Jcrrold. I am convinced that you will do full Jus tice to it." "Well, It's real dyedln-tho-wool hush-hush stuff," Jerry seated him self on tho foot of tho Bofn. "You understand that, of course. When wo got to Whitehall wo wero shown straight Into old lUvkenham's pri vate sanctum. "The Assistant Commissioner was there too. and some other bloke who. I gather, is a bit of a noise at the K.O.
