... In his imagination he saw him

And when lie hnd done It, and the
country lie tinted was In ruins, Mien lie
would cinim his million nnd enjoy it as
a great man should enjoy a great re

minutes did the Count sec visions and
dream dreams. That the force tie pro
posed to tamper with was n dangerous
force disturbed lilm not at alii he was
n dnngerous man. That tills Hellenic
would bring ruin, porhnps dentil, to
thousands of Innocent men and women
caused him no qualm: he was n su
preme egoist. All that appealed to
lilm was that he hud seen tho oppor
tunity Mint existed, and thut ho had
the nerve and the- brain to turn that
opportunity to his own , ndvnntago.
Only the necessary money wns lacking

he pulled out his watcli. They had
hnd their ten minutes . . . The matter
was settled, tho dlo was ens't. . . .
Ho rose nnd walked across the
lounge. For an nppreclnblo moment
tho Count paused by tho door, am n
faint smile came to his Hps. Then
he opened it, nnd,pn8sed Into the room.
Tho American, was hMU chewing hs
toothpick; Stolnemann wns still
brenthlng hnrd. Only von Grafs: hnd
changed his occupation nnd he vas

and wnl Iced over to the fireplace. . . .
"Well, gentlemen," ho sad quietly,
"what have you decided?"
It was the American who nnswered.
"It goes. With one amendment.
Tho money Is too big for three of us:
there must bo a fourth. That will bo
n quarter of a million ench."
The Count bowed.
"Havo you any suggestions as to
whom tho fourth should be?"
"Yep," said tho American shortly.
"Theso two gentlemen agreo with mo
that It should he another of my coun

Tho man wo htivo decided on Is com

count us In, too. If not, tho deal's

Tho Count nodded, nnd If ho felt nny
nnnoynnco at this unexpected develop

face.
"I knbw of Mr. Potts," ho nnswered
quickly. "Your big shipping man, Isn't
lie? I agree to your resorvutlon."
"Good," snld tho American. "Lot's
discuss some details."
Without a trace of emotion on his
face the Count drew up a chair to tho
table. It wns only when ho sat down
that ho started to play a tattoo on his
knee with his left hnnd. . . .
Half on hour latef he entered his
luxurious sulto of rooms at tho Hotel
Magnificent
A girl, who had been lying by tho
lire reading a French novel, looked up
ut the sound of tho door. She did not
speak, for Mio look on his face told her
all she wanted to know.
He crossed to the sofa and smiled
down at her.

ONE.
Captain Hugh Drummond, D.S.O.,
1L 0 late of His Majesty's Uoyul
Loamshlres, was, whistling In his morn
lng hath. Doing by nnturu of a cheerful
disposition, tho symptom did not sur
prise his servant, late private of tho
famous regiment, who wus laying
breakfast In an adjoining room.
After n while the whistling censed,
and tho musical gurgle of escaping
water announced that the concert was
over. It was tho signal for James
Denny the square-Jawed ex-batman
to dlsnppear Into the hack regions und,'
get irom ins wire the kidneys uuu Da-
con which Mint most excellent woman
hnd grilled to a turn. Hut on this pnr-
tlculur morning the invariable routine
wns broken. James Denny seemed
preoccupied, distrait,
Once or twice lie scratched Ills head
and stared out of the window with n
puzzled frown.
"What's you looking for, James Den
ny?" The irate voice of his wife ut
the door made him look round guiltily.
"Them kidneys Is relldy and waiting
these live minutes,"
Her eyes fell on the tnble, and she
ndvanced Into the room wiping her
hands on her apron.
"Did you ever see such a bunch of
letters?" she snld.
"Forty-live," returned her husband',
grimly, "and more to come." He picked
up the newspnper lying beside the
chair and opened It.
"Them's the result of that," he con
tinued cryptically, Indicating a para
graph with a square linger, and thrust
ing the paper under his wife's nose.
"Demobilized olllcer," she read slow
ly, "llndlng peace Incredibly tedious,

If possible; but crime. If of u compara
tively humorous description, no objec

suitably Impressed by applicant for his
services. Iteply at once Box X10."
She put down the paper on a chair
and stared first at her husband and
then nt tho rows of letters neatly ar
ranged on the table.
"I calls It wicked," she announced at
length. "Fair Hying In the face of Pro
vidence. Crime, Denny crime. Don't
you get 'living notnlng to do with such
mad pranks, my man, or you und me
will he having words." She shook an
admonitory linger nt him, und retired
slowly to the kitchen.

He paused as ho got to tho table and
glanced at the rows of letters. "Who
would have thought it, James?" lie re
marked. "Great Scotl I shall have to
get u pnrtiier."
With disapproval shbwlng in every
lino of her face, Mrs. Denny entered
the room, carrying the kidneys, nud
Driimmond glanced at her with u
smile.
"Good morning, Mrs. Denny," he
snld. "Whereforu Mils worried look

sarlly pulling books off shelves and
putting them back again "if so bo
that ho does," she continued grimly,
"him and mo will have words as I've
told him already this morning." She
stalked from the room, nfter staring
pointedly at the letters In Drummoud's
hand, nnd the two men looked nt one
another.
"It's Mint there reference tp crime,
sir, Mint's torn It," said Denny In, a
hoarse whisper.
"Thinks I'm going to lend you

Ills eves. "Just to wt liir mlml

rest," he remurked gravely, "you might
(en tier that, as far as I can see nt
present, I slall only undertake murder
in exceptional cases."
He propped the letter up ugalnst
the toast-rack and commenced his
breakfast. "Where Is Pudllngton,
.lames and one mleht almost ask
why Is Pudllngton? No town has any
right to such an offensive name." He
glanced through the letter, and shook
his head. "Tush I tush I And the wife

you conceive of any thine so dreadful?
Hut I'm afraid Mrs. Hank Manager Is
a puss u distinct puss. It's when
they get on the soul-mate stunt that
the furniture begins to fly."
Drummond tore up the letter nnd
dropped the pieces into the basket be
side him. Then he turned to his ser
vant nnd handed lilm the remainder of
the envelopes.
"Go through them, James, while I as
sault the kidneys, nnd pick two or
three out for "me. I see that you will

"Do Vflll U'lllit inn li ntii.n

and pushed awuyhls plate.
Denny was engrossed In a letter lie
hnd Just opened. A perplexed look
Was spreading over his face, and sud
denly he sucked his teeth loudly. It
was a sure sign that James was ex
cited, nnd Drummond glanced up
quickly, nnd removed the letter from
his hands. "I'm surprised at vou.
James," ho remarked severely. "A sec
retary should control itself., Don't
forget that the perfect secretary is an
It; nn automatic machine u thing In-,
capable of feeling; . . ."
Ho read the letter tliroutrh rnnlrtlv.
and then, turning back to the begin-
nlng, he rend It slowly through ngaln.

pulled out his cigarette ense. "To

I believe that we have Impinged upon
the goods." He rose nnd stood look
ing out of the window thoughtfully.
"ou think It's genuine, sir?' said
James.
His master blew out n cloud of
smoke. "I know It Is," ho answered
dreamily. "Look nt Mint writing; the

Hut James had discreetly left the
room.
TWO.
At four o'clock exactly Hugh Drum
mond stepped out of his two-seater at
tho Haymnrket entrance to the Cnrl
ton. For a few momenta after enter
ing tho hotel ho stood at tho top of
the stairs outside the dining room,
wlille his- eyes traveled round the ta
bles In the lounge below.
Slowly nnd thoroughly he continued
his search. It wns early, of course,
yet and sho might not have arrived,
but he was taking no chances.
Suddenly his eyes ceased wauderlng,
nnd remained fixed on n tnble nt the
fnr ond of the lounge. Half hidden
behind a plant a girl wns seated alone,
nnd for n moment she looked straight
nt him. Then with tho faintest sus
picion of n smile, she turned nwny, nnd
commenced drumming' pn tho tnble
with her Augers.
The tahlo next to her was unoccu
pied and Drummond made his way to
ward It and sat'down.
He felt not tho slightest doubt In
Ids mind that this was the girl who
had written him, and, having given
an order to tho waiter, he started to
study her face as unobtrusively ns pos
slide. Ho could only see tho profile,
but that wns quite sufllclent to make
him bless the moment when more as n
Jest thnn anything 4lse ho hnd sent
his ndvertlsement to the paper.
ner eyes, he could see, were very
blue; and great masses of golden
brown hair collod oyer hor ear, from
under n smnll black hnt. Ho glnnced
at her, hnnds, nnd noted, with approv
al, 'yio absence of uny ring. Then he
louKot once more nt her face, and
found her eyes were fixed on him.
This time she did not look away.
She seemed to think that It was her
turn to conduct the examination nnd
Drummond fumbled In his waistcoat
pocket. After a moment lie found
what he wanted, nnd tnklng out n 4-nrd
he propped It against the teapot so
that the girl could see what was on It.
In large black capitals ho had written
Hox X10.
She spoke almost at once. "You'll
do, X10," she suld, and he turned to
her with n smile.
"It's very nice of youto say so," he
murmured. "If I may, I will return
the compliment. So will you."
She frowned slightly. "This Isn't
foolishness, you know. What I said In
my letter is literally true. I want
you to tell me," and there was no trace
of Jesting In her voice, "tell me, on
your word of honor, whether that ad
vertisement was bona fide or a Joke."
Ho answered her in the same vein.
"It started more or less as a Joke. It
may now be regariled ns nbsolutely
genuine."
She nbdded ns If satisfied. "Are
you prepared to risk your life?"
Drummdnd's eyebrows went up nnd
then he smiled. "Granted that the
Inducement is sufllclent," he returned
slowly, "I think I may say that, I am."
no saw that she was staring over
his shoulder at some one behind his
hack.
"Don't look around," she ordered.
"nnd tell me your name quickly."
"Drummond Captain Drummond,
late of the Loumshlres." He leaned
back In his chair, and lit a, cigarette.
"My denr I'liyllls," said a voice be
hind his back, "this Is a pleasant sur
prise. I bad no Idea that you were In
London."
A fall, clean-shaven man stopped be
side the table, throwing a keen glance
nt Drummond.
The world is full of such surprises,
Isn't It?" answered the girl lightly. "I
don't suppose you know Captain Drum
mond, do you? Mr. Luklngton art
connoisseur und er collector."
The two men bowed slightly, and
Mr. Lnklngton smiled, "I do not re
member ever having heurd my harm
less pastimes more concisely de
scribed," he remarked sunvely. "Are
you Interested In such matters?"
"Not very, I'm afraid," answered
Drummnnil. "Just recently I have
been rather too busy to pay much at
tention to art."
The other man smiled again, and it
struck Hugh that rarely, If ever, had
he seen such u cold, merciless face.
"Of course you've been to France."
Laklngton murmured. "Unfortunately
n bad heart kept me on this side of the
water. Sometimes I cannot help
thinking how wonderful It milst huve
been to he able to kill without fear of
consequences. There Is art In killing,
Captain Drummond profound art."
He looked nt his wntch and sighed.
"Alas I I must tear myself away. Are
you returning home this evening?"
The girl, who had been glancing
round the restaurant, shrugged her
shoulders. "Probably," sho answered.
"I haven't quite decided. I might stop
.with Aunt Kate."
"Fortunate Aunt Kate." With n
how Lnklngton turned away, nnd
through the glass Drummond watched
lilm get his hat und stick from the
cloakroom. Then he hfoked at the
girl, nnd noticed that she had gone a
little white.
"What's the 'matter, old thing?" be
asked quickly. "Aro you feeling
faint?"
She shook her head, and gradually
the color enme back to her face. "I'm
quite nil right," she answered. "It gave
me rather u shock, that man finding us
here. You-'ve stumbled right Into the
middle of It, my friend rather sooner
than I anticipated. That Is one of the
men you will probably have to 1:111. ."
Her companion lit another cigarette.
"What is his particular worry?"
"First and foremost the brute wants
to marry me," replied tho girl.
"I loatho being obvious," suld Hugh,
"but I am not surprised."
"Hut It Isn't that that mutters." She
looked ut Drummond quietly. "Henry
Lnklngton Is the second most danger
ous man In England."
"Only the second," murmured Hugh.
Then hadn't I better sturt my career
with the first?"
Sho looked at him In silence. "I
suppose you think thut I'm hysterical,"
she remarked after a while. "You're
probnbly even wondering whether I'm
nil Miere."
Drummond flicked the nsh from his
cigarette, then ho turned to her dis
passionately. "You must admit" he
remnrkod, "Mint up to now our conver
sution has hardly proceeded along
conventional lines. I nm n complete
stranger to you; another man who Ik
a complete stranger to mo speaks to
you whtlo we're at tea. You Inform
mo that I shull probnbly have to kill
him In the near future. The state
ment Is, 1 think you will agree, a
trifle disconcerting."
Tho girl throw back her head and
laughed merrily. "You poor young
man," she cried ; "put that way It does
sound alarming." Then sho grew se
rious again. "There's plenty of time
for you to back out now If you like,
Sho was looking at him gravely as
sue spoke, and It seemed to her com
panion that Miere was an appeal In
the big blue eyes. And they were very
big: and the fnco they were set In was
very charming especially at the anglo
It was tilted nt, In tho hnlf-llght of the
room. Altogether, Drummond reflect
ed, n most adorable girl. And ador
able girls had always been a hobby of
nls. Probubly Laklngton possessed a
letter of hers or something, nnd she
wanted lilm to get It back. Of course
he would, even If ho had to thrash tho
swine to within an Inch of his life.
"Weill" The girl's voice cut into
his trnln of thought and lie hurriedly
pulled himself together.
"The Inst thing I wnnt Is for the
Incident to finish." lie said fervently.
"Why It's only Just begu-"
"Then you'll help me?
'That's what I'm hero for." With a
smile Drummond lit another cigarette.
"iell me all about it."
"The trouble," she began after a mo
ment, "Is that thero is not very much
to tell. At present It Is largely guess
work, and guess work without much of
a clue. However, to start with, I had
oetter tell you what sort of men you

own line, which would not have been
open to him, had he run straight. But
he didn't. He deliberately chose to
turn his brnln to crime. Not vulgar,

things, calling for u master criminal.
He has always had enough money to
allow him to take his time over any
coup to perfect his details. And
that's what he loves. He is quite un

"What particular form of crime does
he favor?"
"Anything that cnlls for brain, iron
nerve, nnd refinement of detail," she
answered. "Principally, up to dute,
burglnry on n big scale, and inurder."
"My denr soull" said Hugh Incredu
lously. "How cun you be sure? And
why don't you tell the police?"
She smiled wearily. "Because I've
got no proof, nnd even If I had . . ."
She gave a little shudder, and left her
sentence unfinished. "But ono day, my
father and I were In his house, and,
by accident, I got Into a room I'd nev

about mlnlutures, nnd, to my horror. I
recognized them. Do you remember

Drummond nodded; he wns begin
ning to feel Interested.
"They were the ones I wns holding

get the work bee and leave school

Some get tho Idea that they are

Yields Are Assured.
"What a delightful winter we have
had," is an expression that could bo
heard almost unywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only In the
Middle West and "down east" could
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in tho Canadian West. There
the same remnrkuble features that
brought forth d wonderful winter ex
isted. Iteports from all parts of the
country, from fumed Medicine Hat In
Alberta to Winnipeg In Manitoba, in
dicate that ull through the winter
season very little cold wenther was
experienced. In December, wo .end
that golf playing had put into the dis
card ull Ice sports, Mint fnrmers were
caught "red-handed" plowing their
fields. In Jnnunry, the Alberta yeo
man got out his tractor and In his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1021 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer harrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why, yes. of
course, In March," said nn Iowa
farmer, who had- Just, heard from his
son, who wns looking after tho West
ern Canadian farm, "my boy writes
tne they had some suow, and a few
cold dips, but what did that matter?
The cattle 'and the horses enmo
through the winter In better condition
than they looked three or tour months
ago. Grass wns plentiful on the prai
ries, the stubble was rich and valu
able as food, nnd the straw stucks
nnd grove proved ample for shelter."
Sprlug is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery Is
nil in shape for n spring's work, nnd
he Js looking fonVnnl to nn excellent
crop year. Last fall there was a
splendid lot of moisture .that perme
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications nre
now that the crop will go In in the
condition required for successful ger
mlnntlon. Then, with the lengthened-
days of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine Mint they bring, ac
companied by showers of rain, nnd
with n soil of which there Is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for a ripening har
vest the hundreds of thousands of
acres of whent, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts bf the Western Canada fanners
swell with pride ns they rensonnbly
look forwnrd to an abundant harvest.
Thero is n great deal that can bo
snld in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most Important is
that those who live there, and have'
lived In other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
It Is true the winters ns n rule are
colder than are those In countries
lying much farther south, but It Is
nlso true thnt 'they nre tempered by
n dryness of the atmosphere thnt
makes u lower temperature preferable .
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Knerva
tion and llstlessness are unknown;
the nir Is bracing, but the cold Is not
penetrating. Then the summers and
