"Such Is your rule. And I think
you have failed, haven't you, you un
pleasant specimen of humanity? How
will they kill you, I wonder?"
It was at that moment tlmt the man
made his mistnke. He looked away;
only for a moment —but he looked
away. Just as a cat's nerves give
after a while and it looks round for
an avenue of escape, so did the crouch
ing man take his eyes from Hugh.
And quick as any dog, Hugh sprang.
With his left hand he seized the
man's right wrist, with his right he
seized his throat. Then he forced
hip) upright against the door and held
him there. Even when inch by inch
he shifted his grip on the man's knife
hand he never took liis eyes from his
opponent's face; even when with a
sudden gilsp of agony the man
dropped his knife from lingers which,
of a sudden, had becotne numb, the
steady, merciless glare still bored
into his brain. j
"You're not very clever at it, are
you?" said Hugh softly. "It would
be so easy to kill you now, and except
for the inconvenience I should un
doubtedly suffer, it mightn't be a bad
Idea.' But they know me l downstairs, i
and it would make it so aw J; ward
when I wanted to dine here again.
. . . So, taking everything into
account, 1 think —"
There was a sudden lightning move- i

to rise, but the pain was too great,

Tlie next moment t-2 was priding
alont the corridor toward tie ele
• otor. A« a tight It had been * poor
on# hat his brain was busy with the
information he hid heard. True, It
had been scrappy in the extreme, and.
in part, had only confirmed what he
had suspected all along. The wretched
Granger had been foully done to death,
for no other reason than that he was
tlft millionaire's secretary. Hugh's
jaw tightened; It revolted his sense of
sport. It wasn't as If the poor blight
er had done anything; merely because
he existed and might ask Inconvenient
questions he had been removed. And
as the elevator shot downwards, and
the remembrance of the grim struggle
he had had in the darkness of The
the night before came back to
his mind, he wondered once again if
he had done wisely in not breaking
Peterson's neck while he hud the
chance.
He was still debating the question
in his' mind as he crossed the tea
lounge.
"Why, Captain Drummond, you look
pensive." A well-known voice from a
table at ills side made him look down,
and he bowed a little grimly. " Irma
Petersofi was regarding him with a
thocking smile.
He glanced at her companion, a
young man whose face seemed vaguely
familiar to him, and then his eyes
rested once more on the girl. Even
his masculine intelligence could ap
preciate the perfection—in n slightly
foreign style—of her clothes; and, as
to her beauty, he had never been un
der any delusions.
"The Carlton seems rather a favor
ite resort of yours," she continued,
watching him through half closed eyes.
"I think you're very wise to make
the most of it while you can."
"While I can?" said Hugh. "That
sounds mther depressing."'
"I've done my best," continued the
girl, "but matters have passed out of
my hands, I'm afruid."
Again Hugh glanced at her compan
ion, but he had risen and was talking
to some people who had just come in.
"Is he one of the firm?" he re
marked. "His face seems familiar."
"Oil, no!" said the gU*l. "He Is —
just a friend." She leaned forward
suddenly. "Why don't you Join us
Instead of so foolishly trying to fight
us? Believe me, Monsieur Hugh, it Is
the only thing thut can possibly save
you. You know too much."
"Is the invitation to amalgamate
official, or from your own charming
brain?" murmured Hugh.
"Made on the spur of the moment,"
she said lightly. "But It may lie re
garded as official."
"I'm a'frafd It must be declined on
the spur of the moment," he an
swered In the same tone. "And equal
ly to be regarded as official. Well,
uu revolr. Please tell Mr. Peterson
how sorry I am to have missed him."
"I will most answered
the girl. "But then, mon ami, you
will lie .seeing him again soon, without
doubt. . .
She waved a charming hand In fare
well, and turned to her companion.
Rut Drunimond, though he went into
the hall outside, did not immediately
leave the hotel. Instead, he button
holed an exquisile being arrayed in
gorgeous apparel, and K;d him to a
point of vantage.
"You see that girl," he remarked,
"having tea with a man at the tliird
table from the big palm?-
you tell me who the man
to know his face, but I can't put a
name to It."
"That, sir," murmured the exquisite
being, with the faintest perceptible
scorn at such Ignorance, "is the mar
quis of Laidley. His lordship Is fre
quently here."
"Laidley!" cried Hugli, In sudden ex
citement. "Laldley! The duke of
Lampshire'g son! You priceless old
stuffed tomato—the plot thickens."
Completely regardless of the scan
dalized horror on the exquisite being's
face, he smote him heavily In the
stomach and stepped Into Pall Mall.
For clear before Ids memory had come
three lines on the scrap of paper he
had torn from the table at The Elms
that first night, when he had grabbed
the dazed millionaire from under
Peterson's nose.

Tlie duchess of I.nmpshlre's pearls
were world-famous; the marquis of
Laldley was apparently enjoying his
tea. And between the two there
seemed to be a connection rather too
obvious to be missed.
THREE.
"I'm glad you *two fellows came
down," said Hugh thoughtfully, as he
entered the sitting-room of his bunga
low at Goring. Dinner was over, and
stretched In three chairs were Peter
I>arrell. Algy Longfcortli, and Toby
Sinclair. "Did you know that a man
came here this afternoon, Peter?"
"I did not. Who was It?"
"Mrs. Denny has Just told me." Hugh
reached oat a hand for his pipe, and
proceeded to stuff It with tottacco.
"He eaine about the water. And he
told her that I had told him to come.
Unfortunately, I'd done nothing of the
i I sort."
"What do you mean, Hugh?" asked
Toby Sinclair.
"It's pretty obvious, old boy," said
Hugh grimly. "I should say that
about five hours ago Peterson found
out that our one and oply. Hiram C.
Potts was upstairs."
"Good Lord T* spluttered Darrell,
by now very wide awake, "what do
we do, sergeant-major?"
"We take it In turns—two at a
time—to sit up with Potts." Hugh
glanced at the other three. "D—n It
—you blighters—wake up I"
"I don't know what it is," Darrell
said, rubbing liis eyes, "I fee) most in
fernally sleepy."
"Well, listen to me—confound you
. . . Toby!"
"Sorry, old man." With a start Sin
clair sat up in his chair and blinked
at Hugh.
"They're almost certain to try and
get him tonight," went on Hugh.
"Having given (he show away by
leaving a clue on till' wretched secre
tary, they must get the real man as
soon as possible. It's far too danger
ous to leave the —leave the—" His
head dropped forward on his chest:
a short, half-strangled snore came
from his lips. It had the effect of
waking him for the moment, and he
staggered to his feet.
The other three, sprawling in their
chairs, were openly and unashamedly
asleep; even the dogs lay in fantastic
attitudes, breathing heavily, Inert like
logs.
"Wake up!" shouted Hugh wildly.
"For God's sake wake up! We've
been drugged!"
An iron weight seemed to be press
ing down on his eyelids: the desire
for sleep grew stronger and stronger.
For a few moments more lie /ought
against it, hopelessly, despairingly:
whll£ his legs seemed nut to belong
to him, there a roaring noise
In his ears. And then, Just before
unconsciousness overcame him, there
came to his bemused brain the sound
of a whistle thrice repeated from out
side the window. With a last stu
pendous effort he fought his way to
ward It, and for a moment he stared
Into the darkness. There were dim
figures moving through the shrubs,
and suddenly one seemed to dptach
itself. It came nearer, and the light
fell on the iriah's face. His nose and
mouth were covered with a sort of
pail, but the cold, sneering eyes were
unmistakable.
"Laklngton!" gasped Hugh, and
then the roaring noise increased in
his head; his legs struck work alto
gether. He collapsed on the tloor and
lay sprawling, while Laklngton, his
face pressed against the glass outside.
Watched In silence.
"Draw the curtains." Laklngton
was speaking, his voice mulffed be
hind the pad, and one of the tuen did
as he said. There were-■four in all,
each with a similar pad over tils
mouth and nose. "Where did you put
the generator, Bpownlow?"
"In the coal-scuttle." A man whom
Mrs. Denny would have had no diffi
culty in recognizing, even with the
mask on IIIN face, carefully lifted a
small black box out of the scuttle from
behind some coal, nnd shook it gent
ly, holding It to his ear. "It's fin
ished," be remarked, and Laklngton
nodded.
"An ingenious invention Is gas,"
he said, addresiflng another of the
men. "We owe your nation quite a
debt of gratitude for 'Hie idea."
A J&tturnl grunt left no doubt as
to what that nation was, and Laklng
ton dropped the box into his pocket.
"Go get him," he ordered briefly,
and the left the room.
Contemptuously Laklngton kicked
one of the dogs; It rolled over and
lay motionless In it* new position.
Then be went in turn to each of the
three men sprawling in the chairs.
With no attempt at gentleness lie
turned their faces up to the light, anil
studied them deliberately; then he let
their heads roll- back again with a
thud. Finally, he went to the window
and stared down at Druminond. In
Ills eyes was a look of cold fury, and
he kicked the unconscious man sav
agely In the ribs.
"You young •wine," he muttered.
"Do you think I'll forget blow
on the Jaw?"
He took another box out of his
!>oeket and looked at It lovingly.
"Shall I?" With a short laugh he
replaced It. "It's too good a death
for you. Captain Drummond. D. S. (>..
M.C Just to snuff out In your sleep.
No, my friend, I think I can devise
something better than that; some
thing really artistic."
Two other men came in as be
turned away, and Lak-ington looked
at them. •
"Well." he asked, "hare yon got the
old woman?"
"Bound and gagged in the kitchen,"
answered one of them laconically.
% Are you going to do »h|* crowd In?"
The speaker looked at the uncon
scious men with hatred In his eyes.
"They encumber the earrb —this
breed of puppy."
'They will not en camber It for
long," said Laklngton softly. "But
the one ID the window tbert is aot

going to die so easily. I have a small
unsettled score with him. . .
"All right; he's in the car." A
voice came from outside the window,
and with a last look at Hugh Druni
mond, Lakington turned away.
"Then we'll go," he remarked. "Au
re voir, my blundering young bull. Be
fore I've finished with you, you'll
scream for mercy. And you won't
get It. ..."
Through the still night nlr there
came the thrumming of the engine of
a powerful car. Gradually It died
•away and there was silence. And
then, with a sudden crack, I'eter Dar
reH's head rolled over and hit the arm
of his chair.
CHAPTER VI.
In Which a Very Old Game Takes
Place on the Hog's Back.
ONE.
A thick grey mist lay over the
Thames. It covered the water and the
low fields to the west like a thick
white carpet; it drifted sluggishly
under the old bridge which spans the
river betwupn Goring and Streatley.
It was the hour before dawn, and
In His Eye* Was a Look of Cold Fury, j
arid He Kicked the Unconscious Man i
Savagely.
sleepy passengers, rubbing the win
dows of their carriages as rhe Ply
mouth boat express rushed 011 toward
London, shivered nod drew their rugs
closer around them. It looked cold
. . . cold and dead.
Slowly, ,aimost Imperceptibly, the
vapor rose, and spread outwards up
the wooded bills by Basildon. II
drifted through tlje shrubs and rose
bushes of a little garden, which
stretched from a bungalow down to
the water's edge, until at length wisps
of It brushed gently round the bunga
low ifself. Suddenly ihe window of
one of the downstair rooms was flung
open, and a man with a white hag
gnrd face leaned out drawing great
gulp* of fresli air into his lungs.
Three other men lay sprawling un
couthly In chairs, and two dogs lay
motionless on the hearthrug.
After a moment or two the man
withdrew, only to appear again with
one of the others In his arms. And
then, having dropped hi* burden
thryugh the window on to the luwn
outside, be repeated his performance
with the remaining (wo. Finally he
pitched the two dogs after them, and
then, with his hand ti» Ids forehead,
he staggered down to the water's
edge.
"Holy smoke!" he muttered to him
self. as he plunged hi-, head Into the
cold water, "talk about the morning
after!"
After a while, with the water still
dripping down bis fa''e, he returned
to the bungalow and found the other
three in various stages of partial In
sensibility.
"Wake up. my lieroe#." IK* r*mark«»d.
"and go and put your great fat head*
In the river. We were all of uk
drugged or doped somehow. And
now," lie added bitterly, "we've all
got head*. and we have not got I*ottx."
"I don't remember anything," said
Toby Sinclair. "except falling asleep.
Have they taken him?"
"Of course they havfc," *aij Hugh.
"Just before I went off I »iw 'em
all In the garden, and thai swine
Lnklngton wan with t'.iem. However,
while you go and put your nut* in the
river, I'll go up and raitke certain."
With a (trim smile he watched the
rhree men lurch down to the water;
then he turned and went upstair* to
the room which had been occupied
by the American millionaire. It *»«
empty, as he had known It would be.
and with a smothered curse in ride
hla w»jr downstair* again.
TWO.
"Has it struck you fellows," re
marked Hugh, at the conclusion of
lunch, "that seated around this table '
are four officers who fought with some j
distinction and much discomfort in
the recent historic struggle?"
"How beautifully you put It, old
Hick!" said Dnrrell.
"Has It further struck you fellows,"
continued Hugh, "that last night we
were done down, trampled on, hud
for mugs by a crowd of dirty binck
gtiards composed largely of the dregs
of the universe?"
"A veritable Solomon," said Algy,
gazing at him admiringly through his
eyeglass. "I told you this morning I
detested your friends."
"lias It still further struck you,"
went on Hugh, a trifle grimly, "that
we aren't standing for It? I irropo.se
that we should tackle the blighters
tonight."
"Tonight!" echoed Darrell. "Where?"
"At The Kims, of course. That's
where the wretched I'otts Is for a
certainty."
"And how do you propose that .we
should set about It?" demanded Sin
clair.
Drtimmond drained his port and
grinned gently.
"By stealth, dear ojd beans —by
stealth. You and I thought we
might rake In Ted Jernlngham, and
perhaps Jerry Seymour, to join the
happy throng—will make n demonstra
tion In force, with the Idea of draw
ing off the enemy, thereby leaving the
coast clear for me to explore the
house for ihe unfortunate I'otts. An
accident. ... A car....
What Is the connecting-link. . . .
Why. drink. Write it down, Algy, or
we might forget. Now, can you beat
that?"
"We might have some chance," snid
Darrell kindly, "If we bad the slight
est idea what ft o were talking about."
"I'dy attention, all of you," said
Hugh. "Tonight some time about ten
of the clock, Algy's motor will pro
ceed along the Godalmlng-Ouildford
road. It will contain you three —also
Ted and Jerry Seymour? If we can
get 'em. On approaching the gate of
The Kims, you will render the night
hideous with your vocal efforts. Stray
passers-by will think that you are all
tight. Then will come the dramatic
moment, when, with a heavy craslv
you ram the gate. Horrified at this
wanton damage to property, you will
leave the car and proceed In mas*
formation up the drive."
'•Still giving tongue?" queried Dar
rell.
"Still giving tongue. Either Ted
or Jerry or both of 'em tvlll approach
the house and inform the owner In
heartbroken accents that they haye
damaged his gate post. You three w'lll
remain In the garden—you might be
recognized. Then It will be up to
you. You'll have several men nil
round you. Keep 'em occupied—-some
how. They won't hurt you; they'll
'only lie concerned with seeing that
you don't go where you're not wanted.
The last thing they want to do Is to
draw any suspicion on themselves—
and. on the face of If, you are merely
five convivial wanderers who have
looked oil the wine when it was red.
I think." he added thoughtfully, "that
ten minutes will be enough for me"
"What will you be doing?" said
Toby.
"I shall be looking for Potts. Don't
worry about me. I'll look after my
self, Now, Is cleur?!
"Perfectly," said Darrell. after a
short alienee. "But I don't know that
I like If, Hugh. It seeins to me, old
son, that you're running au unneces
sary lot ft risk."
"Got any alternative?" demanded
Drummond.
"If we're all going down," said Dar
rell, "why not stick together and rush
the house In a gang?"
"No go, old bean," said Hugh, de
cisively. 'Too many of 'em to hope
to [Hill It off. No, low cunning Is the
only thing that's got an earthly of
succeeding." With i K r 'n he rose, and
then toward the door. "Now
go ifnd rope iti Ted and Jerry, and
for the love of Heaven don't ram the
wrong gate".
"What are you going to do your
self?" demanded I'eter auspiciously.
"I'm going to look at her from ciosa

"I lore you, Phyllis."
