SYNOPSIS.
PROLOGUE.—In December, 1918, four
men gathered in a hotel in Berne and
heard one of the quartet outline a plan
to paralyze Great Britain and at the
same time seize world power. The other
three, Hocking, American, and Steineman
and Von Gratz, Germans, all millionaires, |
agree to the scheme, providing another
man, Hiram Potts, an American, is taken ;
The instigator of the plot gives his |
in.
name as Comte de Guy, but when he
leaves for England with his daughter he
decides to use the name Carl Peterson.
CHAPTER I. — Capt. Hugh (Bulldog)
Drummond, a retired officer, advertises
for work that will give him excitement,
signing “X10.” As a result he meets
Phyllis Benton, a young woman who an-
swered his ad. She tells him of strange
murders and robberies of which she sus- |
pects a band headed by Carl Peterson and
Henry Lakington of being the leaders.
CHAPTER IIL.—Drummond decides to
go to The Larches, Miss Benton's home.
An attempt is made on the road to wreck
his machine when another, occupied by
Peterson, Lakington and a strange man,
blocks the road. While dining with Phyl- |
lis Benton and her father Drummond
hears a terrible shriek at The Elms. Dur-
ing the night Drummond leaves The
Larches and explores The Elms. He dis-
covers Lakington and Peterson using a
thumbscrew on an American who signs
a paper. Drummond rescues the Ameri-
can after a struggle and takes him to |
his home. The man is Hiram C. Potts.
~ «Did you—did you hear—anything?” |
With a vain endeavor to speak calmly,
his host looked at Hugh.
“That night-bird?” he answered
easily. “Eerie noises they make, don’t
they? Sometimes in France, when
everything was still, and only the
ostly green flares went hissing up,
pne used to hear ‘em.
pus sentries out of their lives.” He
talked on, and gradually the color '
came back to the other man’s face.
But Hugh noticed that he drained his
port at a gulp, and immediately re-
filled his glass, . , .
Qutside everything was still; no
repetition of that short, strangled cry
again disturbed the silence. With
the training bred of many hours in
No Man’s Land, Drummond was lis-
tenlng, even while he was speaking,
for the faintest suspicious sound—but
he heard nothing. The soft whisper-
{ng night-noises came gently through
the window; but the man who had
gcreamed once did not even whimper
again. He remembered hearing a
similar cry near the brick-stacks at
Guinchy, and two nights later he had
found the giver of it, at the edge
of a mine-crater, with glazed eyes that
still held in them the horror of the
final second. And more persistently
than ever, his thoughts centered on
the fifth occupant of
Royce.
It was with almost a look of relief
that Mr. Benton listened to his tale of
woe #bcut his car.
“Of course you must stop here for
the night,” he cried. “Pbyllis, my
dear, will you tell them to get a
room ready?”
With an inscrutable look at Hugh,
in which thankfulness and apprehen-
sion seemed mingled, the girl left the
room. There was an unnatural glit-
ter in her father’s eyes—a flush on his
cheeks hardly to be accounted for by
the warmth of the evening; and
it struck Drummond that during the
time he had been pretending to look
at his car, Mr. Benton had been forti-
fying himself, It was obvious, even
to the scldier’s unprofessional eye,
that the man’s rerves had gone to
pleces, his daughter’s worst forebod-
ings were likely to be fulfilled. He
talked disjointedly and fast; his
hands were not steady, and he seemed
to be always waiting for something
to happen.
Hugh had not been in the room ten
minutes before his host produced the
whisky, and during the time that he
took to drink a mild nightcap, Mr.
Benton succeeded in lowering three
extremely strong glasses of spirit.
And what made it the more sad was
that the man was obviously not a
heavy drinker by preference.
At eleven o'clock Hugh rose and
sald good night.
“Youll ring if you want anything,
won't you?’ said his host. “We don’t
have very many visitors here, but I
hope you'll find everything you re-
quire. Breakfast at nine.”
Drummond ¢losed the door behind
him, and stood for a moment in
silence, looking round the hall. It
was deserted, but he wanted to get
the geography of the house firmly im-
printed on his mind. He stepped
across toward the drawing-room. In-
side, as he hoped, he found the girl.
She rose the instant he came in,
and stood by the mantelpiece with her
hands locked.
“What was it?" she half whispered
—%that awful noise at dinner?”
He looked at her gravely for a
while, and then he shook his head.
“Shall we leave it as a night-bird for
{the present?’ he said quietly. Then

he leaned toward her, ana took her
hands in his own. “Go to bed, little
girl,” he ordered; “this is my show.
And, may I say, I think you're just
wonderful. Thank God you saw my
advertisement!”
Gently he released her hands, ana
walking to the docr, held it open for
her. “If by any chance you should
hear things in the night—turn over
and go to sleep again.”
“But what are you going to do?”
she cried.
Hugh grinned.

less the Lord will provide.”
The instant the girl had left the
room Hugh switched off the lights, and
stepped across to the curtains which
covered the long windows. He pulled
them laside, letting them come to-
gether behind him; then, cautiously,
he unbolted one side of the big cen-
ter window. Silently he dodged across
the lawn toward the big trees at
the end, and leaning up against one
of them, he proceeded to make a more
detailed survey of his objective, The
Elms.

decide to chance it, and go even closer.
Seated at the table was a man he :
while on either
did not ‘recognize;
side of him sat Lakington and Peter-
son. Lying on a
tall dark girl, who seemed completely
uninterested in the proceedings of
the other three. Hugh placed her
at once as the doubtful daughter Irma,
and resumed his watch on the group
at the table.
A paper was in front of the man,
and Peterson, who was smoking a
large cigar, was apparently suggest-
ing that he should make use of the
pen which Lakington was obligingly
holding in readiness. In all respects
a harmless tableau, save for one small
thing—the expression on the man’s
Hugh had seen it before often—
only then it had been called shell-
shock, The man was dazed, semi-
unconscious. Every now and then he
stared round the room, as if be-
wildered; then he would shake his
head and pass his hand wearily over
- his forehead.
For a quarter of an
hour the scene continued; then Lak-
ington produced an instrument from
his pocket. Hugh saw the man
: the pen. But what impressed him
‘most in that momentary flash of
‘action was Peterson. There was
something inhuman in his complete
passivity. Even as he watched the
man signing his name, no trace of
emotion showed on his face—whereas
on Lakington’s there shone a fiendish
satisfaction.
The document was still lylng on
the table, when Hugh produced his
revolver. He knew there was foul
play about, and the madness of what
ke had suddenly made up his mind
to do never struck him; being that
manner of fool, he was made that
way. But he breathed a pious prayer
that he would shoot straight—and
then he held his breath. The crack
of the shot and the bursting of the
cniy electric light bulb in the roc
were almost simultaneous, and the
next second, with a roar of “Come
on, boys,” he burst through the win-
dow. At an immense advantage
over the others, who could see noth-
fing for the moment, he blundered
round the room. He timed the blow
at Lakington to a nicety; he hit him
straight on the point of the jaw and
ne felt the man go down like a log.
Then he grabbed at the paper on the
table, which tore in his hand, and
picking the dazed signer up bodily,
he rushed through the window onto
the lawn. There was not an instant
to be lost; only the impossibility of
seeing when suddenly plunged into
darkness, had enabled him to pull the
thing off so far. And before that ad-
vantage disappeared he had to be back
at The Larches with his burden, no
light weight for even a man of his
strength to carry.
But there seemed to be no pursuit,
no hue and cry. As he reached the
little gate he paused and looked back,
and he fancied he saw outside the
window a gleam of white, such as a
shirt front. He lingered for an instant,
peering into the darkness and recover-
ing his breath, when with a vicious
phut something buried itself in the tree
beside him. Drummond lingered no
more; long years of experience left
‘no doubt in his mind as to what that
something was.
“Compressed-air rifle—or electric,”
he muttered to himself, stumbling on,
and half dragging, half carrying his
dazed companion.
He was not very clear in his own
mind what to do next, but the mat-
ter was settled for him unexpectedly.
Barely had he got into the drawing-
room, when the door opened and the
girl rushed in,
“Get hith away at once,” she cried.
“In your car. . . . Don't waste a
second. I've started her up."
“Good girl,” he cried enthusiastical-
ly. “But what about you?”
She stamped her foot impatiently.
“Im all right—absolutely all right.
Get him away—that'’s all that mat-
ters.” . :

half to himself, while his jaws set
like a steel vise. “A thumbscrew.

“Oh! quick, quick,” the girl urged
in an agony. “They may be here at
any moment.” She dragged him to
the door, and together they forced
the man into the car,
“Lakington won't,” said Hugh with
a grin. “And if you see him tomor-
row—don’t ask after his jaw. . . .
Good-night, Phyllis.”
With a quick movement he raised
her hand to his lips; then he slipped
in the clutch and the car disappeared
down the drive. . . .
He felt a sense of elation and of !
triumph at having won the first round,
and as the car whirled back to Lon-
don through the cool night air his
heart was singing with joy of action.
And it was perhaps as well for his
peace of mind that he did not witness
the scene in the room at The Elms.
Lakington still lay motionless on
steadily in the darkness. It was hard
to believe that he had ever moved

body must have got busy. Of course,

At length Peterson spoke. “A
young man of dash and temperament,”
he said genially. “It will be a pity
to lose him.”
“Why not keep him and lose the
girl?” yawned Irma. “I think he
might amuse me—"
“We have always our dear Henry
to consider,” answered Peterson,
“Apparently the girl appeais to him.

Twe speaker was ‘¢pping his left
knee softly with his hand; save for
that slight movement he sat as If
nothing had happened. And yet ten
minutes before a carefully planned
coup had failed at the instant of
success. Even his most fearless ac-
complices had been known to con-
fess that Peterson's inhuman calmness
sent cold shivers down their backs.
CHAPTER THEEE.
In Which Things Happen
Moon Street.
ONE.
Hugh Drummond folded up the
piece of paper he was studying and
rose to his feet as the doctor came
into the room. He then pushed a sil-
ver box of cigarettes across the table
and waited.
“Your friend,” said the doctor, “is
in a very peculiar condition, Captain
Drummond—very peculiar, Can you
enlighten me at all as to what he has
been doing during the last few days?’
Drummond shook his head. “Haven't
an earthly, doctor.”
“There is, for instance, that very
unpleasant wound in his thumb,” pur-
sued the other. “The top joint is
crushed to a pulp.”
“I noticed that last night,” answered
Hugh noncommittally. “Looks as if it
had been mixed up between a ham-
mer and an anvil, don't it?”
“But have you no idea how it oc-
curred?”
“Pm full of ideas,” said the sol-
dier. “In fact, if it's any help to you
in your diagnosis that wound was
caused by the application of an un-
pleasant medieval instrument known
as a thumbscrew.”
The worthy doctor looked at him in
amazement, “A thumbscrew! You
must be joking, Captain Drummond.”
“Very far from it,” answered Hugh
briefly. “If you want to know, it
was touch and go whether the other
thumb didn’t share the same fate.”
He blew out a cloud of smoke and
smiled inwardly as he noticed the look
of scandalized horror on his compan-
