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

“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 !

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.

CHAPTER IV,
In Which He Spends a Quiet Night at
the Elms.
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
