Though outwardly be waa quite calm and matter-of-fact, there was a bard, black core of savage anger deep Inside him. Ha thrust the pistol suddenly Into his pocket, turned on Mulgrare quickly, grabbed blm by the collar and waist-band and heaved blm bodily out of tbe car. Then be jumped out after blm, hauled blm to his feet, and gave him a crashing punch In the mouth that knocked blm down again. Then quite delib erately he picked him up and knocked him down again. "Come out with It, you rat," he said in a low, savage voice. "Where Is she? I'll smash you to pieces If von don't tell me." "Ow . , . owl" yelled Mulgrave. He blubbered like a big baby. Mahony gave blm a good kick In the pants. "Talk," be said. "I didn't ask yon to sing." " "Owl . . . all, right, I'll tell you," gulped Mulgrave. "Bhe'i In a house near Watford. There are three men guarding her." "And doping her, I suppose," added Mabony grimly. "Well, you're go ing to take me to that house now. I'll kill yon If you don't" Mulgrave made a despair ing gesture. But he realized he had no cbolce. "All right," be mumbled. "Clet back Into tbe car then," aald Mahony. "And mind you don't bleed on the Upholstery." i That four hundred yards might make all the difference between success and failure It he bad to make a quick getaway with the gtrL Bluff bad eerved him well once that evening; It would probably aerve him again. He etopped back Into the car, drove up the drive, and stopped Im mediately outside the front door of tbe house. It was evident that the occupanta of the house had heard hla approach. Hardly had the car stopped before tbe front door opened. "Who are yon. and what do yon want here at this time of night?" demanded a voice harshly. ' Mahony got out of tbe car. In bis overcoat pocket his right band was clapped on bis pistol-butt. "TBVER mind who I am," be an- ' swered equally harshly. "I've been sent to tetcb the girl, Ruth Froser. Bring her out bore to the car, and get a move on. I'm In a hurry." "Obi" said the man blankly. "Too want the glrL" The light from the ear headlamps show Over. his body Mahony Jumped into ins nouse.

Another seven or eight minutes driving urougm mem to tne entrance to a rough drive leading through a thick eopse to a small houso that stood In an Isolated position about four hun dred yards from the lane. "Thai's tbe place. She's In there," aid Mulgrave sullenly. Mahony stopped tbe car Just out side tbe drive entrance. Tbe lights 01 me nouse could be seen gleam ing through tbe trees. "We get out again here." be said. Ton Drat. And don't about or try enytning smart, or 1 11 plug you They got out of the car and stood tn tbe roadway. Everything around them wae quiet except an owl call ing In the copse. Mulgrave stood sullen and nneaar. Ills face w hurting blm; he suspected that ha waa going to lose a tooth. "W-what have I got to do now?" he asked. "Nothing." said Mahony quietly. "T shsn't want you any more." With that he euddenly hit Mul grave a tremendous wallop full on the point of the Jaw. Mulgrare's heels came off tbe ground; he crashed down and out Into the ditch. Mahony bent over, hauled his un eonsclous body bsck Into the lane, carefully bound and gagged him. and thrust hlra back Into the ditch. Beside Mulgrave he flung his own fancy costume. That was a thlhg he was well rid of. for a few moments he consid ered; should he use bluff or stealth to get Into that house and rescue the girl imprisoned In It? He de cided upon bluff. The use ot stealth and quietness would mean that he would hare to leave the car where It was In the lane, four hundred yards from tbe house. with hie bead heavily bandaged. Hei had a sheepish, nervous air. "As a matter of fact ... the truth is . , , there's been an accident. I J I didn't like to roport It, because' , , well , . , you see . , ." He did not appear to know quite what ha wanted to say. Mahony. felt a sudden quick chill ot fear. What had happened. Had they killed the girl by any chance? "What the devil do you mean?" he demanded. "What's happened to the girl. She'a not . . . dead 7" "Ob, no. No, sho's not dead. Far from it. But . . . the trouble Is, we can't got at her. Tou see . . ." At that moment, from an upstairs window, there came the sudden un mistakable high-pitched crack of a pistol shot. "Whltl" a bullet flipped past Mahony's head and burled Itself In the turf behind him. Mahony cursed loudlv and moved swiftly. It was apparent to hlra that the game waa up; his bluff was spotted. Ho bad no wish to present a running target to anybody. There fore hla move waa In the direction of the house, not away from It. He slmrly hurled himself toward the front door, snatching his hand out of his pocket wllh hla clubbed pistol In it. Tbe man In the doorway was so surprised that he did not even attempt ta move until Ma hony's cluhhed pistol came down on his head. Then he collapsed In the doorway.
