| Bull-Dog Drummond "The Adventures of a Demobilized Officer Who Found Peace Dull rs—— by CYRIL McNEILE 'SAPPER' ILLUSTRATIONS BY IRWIN MYERS Copyright by Geo. H. Doran Co. (Continued from last week.) 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 game 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 in. The instigator of the plot gives his pame 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.” 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. 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. CHAPTER IIL—Peterson visits Drum- mond the next day, departing with a threat to return later and recover Potts and also a torn paper which Drummond seized the night of the fight. With the ald of Peter Darrel, an old army friend, Drummond arranges to hide Potts, and gubstitute in his place one Mullings, a de- mobilized soldier, who is seized by Pster- son and his gang and taken to The Elms, along with Drummond. His voice died away, and he rose slowly to his feet. In the open door by I \ a 7 / V ) “What the Devil,” Cried Drummond Furiously, “Is the Meaning of This?” four men were standing, each with a peculiar-shaped revolver in his hand. “What the devil,” cried Drummond furiously, “is the meaning of this?” “Cut it out,” cried the leader cor- temptuously. “These guns are silent. If you utter-—youn die. Do you get me?’ The veins stood out on Drummund’s forehead, and he controlled himself with an immense effort. “Are you aware that this man is a guest of mine, and sick?’ he said, his voice shaking with rage, “You don’t say,” remarked the lead- er, and one of the others laughed. “Rip the bed-clothes off, boys, and gag the young cock-sparrow.” Before he could resist, a gag was thrust in Drummond’s mouth and his hands were tied behind his back. Then, helpless and impotent, he watched three of them lift up the man from the bed, and putting a gag in his mouth also, carry him out of the room. “Move,” said the fourth to Hugh. “You join the picnic.” A large car drove up as they reached the street, and in less time than it takes to tell, the two helpless men were pushed in, followed by the leader; the door was shut and the car drove off. “Don’t forget,” he said to Drum- mond suavely, “this gun is silent. You had better be the same.” At one o'clock the car swung up to The Elms. For the last ten minutes Hugh had been watching the invalid fn the corner, who was making frantic efforts to loosen his gag. His eyes were rolling horribly, and he swayed from side to side in his seat, but the ! As a result he meets Phyllis Benton, a young woman who an- ' He dis- ' bandages round his hands held firm and at last he gave it up. Even when he was lifted out and : carried indoors he did not struggle: he seemed to have sunk into a sort of apathy. Drummond followed with dignified calmness, and was led into a room off the hall - In a moment or two Peterson en- ' tered, followed by his daughter. “Ah! my young friend,” cried Peterson af- fably, “I hardly thought you’d give me such an easy run as this.” He put his hand into Drummond’s pockets, and pulled out his revolver and a bun- ‘dle of letters, “To your bank,” he murmured. “Oh! surely, surely not . that as well. Not even stamped. Un- ' gag him, Irma—and untie his hands. My very dear young friend—you pain me.” «] wish to know, Mr. Peterson,” sald Hugh quietly, “by what right this das- | tardly outrage has been committed. | A friend of mine, sick in bed—re- | moved, abducted In the middle of the night: to say nothing of me.” With a gentle laugh Irma offered him a cigarette. “Mon Dieu!” she re- marked, “but you are most gloriously ugly, my Hugh!” Peterson, with a faint smile, opened the envelope in his hand. And, even as he pulled out the contents, he paused suddenly and the smile faded from his face. From the landing up- stairs came a heavy crash, followed by a flood of the most appalling lan- guage. «What the——h—1 do you think you're doing, you flat-faced son of a Maltese goat? And where the h—I am 1, anyway?” “1 must apologize for my friend's language,” murmured Hugh gently, “but you must admit he has some jus- tification. Besides, he was, I regret to i state, quite wonderfully drunk earlier . this evening, and just as he was sleep i ing it off these desperadoes abducted him.” The next moment the door burst op- en, and an infuriated object rushed in. His face was wild, and his hand was ' bandaged, showing a great red stain on the thumb. | ' “What's this—jest?” he howled furi- ously. “And this d—d bandage all covered with red ink?” “You must ask my friend here, Mullings,” said Hugh. “He's got a i peculiar sense of humor. Anyway, “he’s got the bill in his hand.” | In silence they watched Peterson open the paper and read the contents, while the girl leaned over his shoulder.

ONE. “Jt is a little difficult to know what to do with you, young man,” said Pe- terson gently, after a long silence. “I knew you had no tact.” Drummond leaned back in his chair and regarded his host with a faint smile. “I must come to you for lessons, Mr. Peterson. Though I frankly admit,” he added genially, “that I have never been brought up to regard the forcible abduction of a harmless individual and a friend who is sleeping off the effects of what low people call a jag as being exactly typical of that admirable qual- ity.” Peterson’s glance rested on the dis- ' heveled man still standing by the doer, and after a moment's thought he leaned forward and pressed a bell. wpake that man away,” he said ab- ruptly to the servant who came into the room, “and put him to bed. I will consider what to do with him in the morning.” “Consider be d—d,” howled Mul- lings, starting forward angrily. “You'll censider a thick ear, Mr. Blooming Know-all. What I wants to know—" 'fze words dled away in his mouth, and Lie gazed at Peterson like a bird looks at a snake. There was some- thing sa ruthlessly malignant in the "stare of the gray-blue eyes that the ex-soldier who had viewed going over the top with comparative equanimity ag being part of his job quailed and looked apprehensively at Drummond. “Do what the kind gentleman tells vou, Mullings,” said Hugh, “and go to bed.” He lit a cigarette, and thought. fully blew out a cloud of smoke. “Stop this fooling,” snarled Peter- son. “Where have you hidden rotts?”’ “push, tush,” murmured Hugh. “You surprise me. I had formed such a charming mental picture of you, Mr. Peterson, as the strong, silent man who never lost his temper, and here vou are, disappointing me at the begin- ning of our acquaintance.” For a moment he thought that Ye- terson was going to strike him, and his own fist clenched under the table. «1 wouldn't, my friend,” he sald quietly, “indeed I wouldn't. Because if you hit me, I shall most certainly hit you. And it will not improve your beauty.” Slowly Peterson sank back in his chair, and the veins which hed been standing out on his forehead became normal again. He even smiled; only the ceaseless tapping of his hand on his left knee betrayed his momentary loss of composure. Drummond's fist uncleriched, and he stole a look at the girl. She was in her favorite attitude ! i on the sofa, and had not even looked un. «1 suppose that it is quite useless for me to argue with you,” said Peter- son after a while. “] was a member of 1ay school de- bating society,” remarked Hugh rem’ niscently. “But I was never muc- good. I'm too obvious for argument. I'm afraid.” “You probably realize from what has happened tonight,” continued Pe: terson, “that I am in earnest.” «J should be sorry to think so,” an- swered Hugh. “If that is the best you can do, I'd cut it right out and start a tomato farm.” The girl gave a little gurgle of laughter and lit another cigarette. “Will you come and do the danger- ous part of the work for us, Monsieur Hugh?” she asked. “If you promise to restrain the little fellows, I'll water them with pleas ure,” returned Hugh lightly. Peterson rose and walked over to the window, where he stood motion- less, staring out into the darkness. Hugh realized that the situation was what in military phraseology wight be termed critical. There were in the house probably half a dozen men who, like their master, were absolutely un- scrupulous. If it suited Peterson's hook to kill him, he would not hesitate 10 do so for a s'ngle second. For a moment the thought crossed his mind that he would take no chances by remaining in the house: that he would rush Peterson from behind snd escape into the darkness of the garden. But it was only mo- mentary—gone almost before it had come, for Hugh Drummond was not that manner of man—gone even before he noticed that Peterson was standing in such a position that he could see every detail of the room behind him reflected in the glass through which he stared. A fixed determination to know what lay in that sinister brain replaced his temporary indecision. Events up tc date had moved so quickly that he had hardly had time to get his bearings; even now the last twenty-four hours seemed almost a dream. And as he looked at the broad back and massive head of the man at the window, and from him to the girl idly smoking on the sofa, he smiled a little grimly. He had just remembered the thumbscrew of the preceding evening. Assuredly the demobilized officer who found peace dull was getting his money's worth; and Drummond had a shrewd suspicion that the entertainment was only just beginning. A sudden sound outside in the gar- den made him look up quic®y. He saw the white gleam of a shirt front, and the next moment a man pushed open the window and came unsteadily into the room. It was Mr. Benton, and quite obviously he had been seeking consolation in the bottle. “Have you got him?” he demanded thickly, steadying himself with a hand : on Peterson’s arm. «I have not,” said Peterson shortly, eyeing the swaying figure in front of him contemptuously. “For heaven's sake, sit down, man, before you fall down.” He pushed Benton roughly into a chair, and resumed his impas- sive stare into the darkness. The girl took not the slightest notice of the new arrival, who gazed stupid- ly at Drummond across the table. “We seem to be moving in an at- mosphere of Cross-purposes, Mr, Ben- ton,” said the soldier affably. “I hope your daughter is quite well.” “¥r—quite, thank you,” muttered the other. “ell her, will you, that I propose to call on her before returning to Lon- don tomorrow.” ‘ With his hands in his pockets, Peter- son was regarding Drummond from the window. “You propose leaving us {omorrow, ¢o you?” he said quietly. Drummond stood up. «I ordered my car: for ten o'clock,” he answered. “I am quite sure that I shall be more useful to Mr. Peter- son at large than I am cooped up here. I might even lead him to this hidden treasure which he thinks I've got.” 5 “You will do that, all right,” re- marked Peterson. “But at the mo- ment 1 was wondering whether a ljt- tle persuasion now—inight not give me ¢ll the information I require more quickly and with less trouble.” A fleeting vision of a mangled, pulp- like thumb flashed &cross Hugh's mind; once again he heard that hide- ous cry, half animal, half human, which had echoed through the dark- ness the preceding night, and for an instant his breath came a little faster, Then he smiled, and shook his head. “I think you are rather too good a judge of human nature to try anything so foolish,” he said thoughtfully. “You see, unless you kill me, which 1 don’t think would suit your book, you might find explanations a little difficult to- morrow,” of For a while there was silence 1n the room, broken at length: by a short laugh from Peterson. “For a young man, truly your per spicacity is great,” he remarked, “Irs ma, is the blue room ready? If so, tell Luigi to show Captain Drummond to it.” “] will show him myself,” she an: swered, rising. Hugh saw a look of annoyance past over Peterson's face as he turned to follow the girl, and it struck hin that that gentleman was not bes pleased at the turn of events. Thed tne door closed, and he followed hit guide up ‘the ‘stairs. The girl opened the door of a room and switched on the light, Then she faced him smiling, and Hugh looked at her steadily. “Tell me, you ugly man,” she murmered, “why you are (Continued on page 6, Col. 1.) ~~ MERCANTILE APPRAISEMENT.
