Pelham i( (inliiiurtl ferulii V c* i , Pelham nodded, and rapped out something strong about the methods ta#!N»the hun, but he was really hearing agan the “reel fax" as related by exCorporal Jenkins . . . “they began baynettin' us on the ground ... I sez ter meself, “Ere’s when I 'op it'.'Ach was! JenkinB, you schafskopf, die quick!’ " “I suppose,” he said, ignoring Drummer's next remark, which left absolutely no Impression on his mind, “there is nothing much going on to keep one In London?" “Nothing hut Ascot, and the horse show, and international lawn tennis, and the July meeting, and Goodwood, and England v. Australia at Lord's.” “You giddy old thing! I thought you were going to the Cape to earn p. living?" "So Dam. But T can cadge tickets for some of the shows, and two bob at Lord's or the Oval give me a fino healthy bronze.’’ “A minute ago you swore it was indigestion.” "It is, confound you! Wait till I’m sick crossing the bay, and you'll see the blue under the gold. Hello! Here's Jameson and (’lose. Now, we’ll hear something. Trey’re studying ,the Mendelian theory, with snippets from the hook of Luther Burbank. You don’t know it yet, son, but this con federacy will grow pipless oranges as big as your fat head." Pelham was thankful for Close. He, at least, was faithful to hts creed, and seldom allowed the talk to stray far from citrus cultivation. ^ Even his favorite cocktail was an ‘‘orange blossom." The four played bridge until it was nearly time to dress for dinner. Close had an appointment with a professor of biology (an authority on Mendel Ism), Drummer had what he called "a date.” so Jameson and Pell am agreed to walk to the latter’s flat, the weather having cleared, and there dine on rold lamb and gooseberry tart. They respited Innesmore mansions at a quarter to seven, and the tele phone clanged the very instant the ■i.^r of No. II was opened. «#^rhis time it was Somers who spoke. "Are you alone?" he began. ^ "No. Captain Jameson Is here.” "Good. A snapper is always use ful. Bring him along, too, if he cares to take a hand in attack on a forti fied place, though I don’t think there will be any real trouble. Miss Daunt was kidnaped by ‘Vaquero’ and ‘Matador’ at 5 o'clock and taken to a house In Berners street, where she is now a prisoner. . . . Eh. what? Don't Interrupt. . . . She's all right—just a trifle weepy. I imagine. Hop into a taxi and join Prideaux. Ho will do the rest. You'll find hint sup porting the southwest corner of the street.

"Phyllis Daunt, who is going to marry my cousin, has been kjdnaped by two of the most dangerous men in London." "Too bad! The news seems to have hit you pretty hard.” “Oh, I can’t explain. Scotland Yard knows where she is—some house in Berners street.. I'm going there at once. Will you come?” "To resume the lady? I'm on!" They were fortunate In finding ft passing taxi, and were at the rendez vous in a few minutes. Pelham, a raging furnace within, had to main tain some semblance of coolness be fore his friend, whom it was manifestly Impossible to tell that while Phyllis Daunt might be Sir Arthur Pelham's promised wife she had very suddenly become the one desirable woman in the world to another member of the family. Still, Jameson began to guess how the land lay, and kept quiet. Prideaux was waiting for them. lie recognized Jameson at once. "Hello!" he cackled. "Been didcus sing oranges? Last time I saw you. Captain Pelham, you were tasting dead sea apples.” “Oh, for heaven's sake-" "Calm yourself, young man.

We'll have her out In a Jiffy, as soon as a policeman signals me that two of our men have taloen up a strategic position in a building overlooking the rear windows Ah, there he is now . . . By the way, keep your taxi. You may want it . No. I can't tell you a thing at this minute. The two men in plain clothes walking down the street with the policeman are Detective Sergeant Sheldon and a young cop, just caught, who is a wonder with an automatic, though we want no shooting, if it can be avoid" ed . Now, come with me!" Sheldon rang the bell at the house with the blue blinds. After some de, lay the door was opened, and, before an elderly woman who answered the summons well knew what was happen ing, the six men were inside, while a police inspector and sergeant, who happened to be strolling that way, halted on the opposite pavement. The raid was conducted so quietly that no other passerby had the least inkling of anything unusual taking place. The taxi driver, of course, had his suspic ions. He pulled up to the curb, out of the way of traffic, and kept his engine running. The woman, though awed by the presence of a' policeman, tried to brazen matters out.

Whatd'ye want? The king his self can't come In like thut." Pridenux answered her. "You have let some rooms, Mrs Watt, to two men named Mallsen and Grazzio. They brought a young lady here at a quarter past five, and pos sibly told you that she was a relative, taken suddenly ill, whom the woman who cooks for them would look after. Probably you believed their story In any cas^ you had better pretend that you did. because you'are harboring a couple of dangerous criminals. Now you can either be urrpsted or hell) the police. Choose quickly." Mrs. Watt did not hesitate a, second. Her assumed reliance on the laws of the land vanished, and she became servile. ‘"Ow could I tell?” she began.
