Gunman’ s Bluff
(Continued From Page 4)
Margaret the chauffeur stopped the
machine.
It was raining heavily; there were
few pedestrians in sight, and those
were hurrying to reach th. shelter of
the Underground sfation. . She pulled
at the catch of the door to open it,
that the chauffeur might more easily
take the suitcase at her feet, when,
out of the shadows, came a shabby-
looking figure. He must have seen her
i he’ turned the handle
and pulled open the door before the
chauffeur could descend.
“Thank you,” said Margaret,
handed him a piece of silver she had
ready to pay the luggage-room atten-
dant.
As she did so she switched on the
and
light.. For a second she stared into
the unshaven face and the grimy
figure. \
“Luke!” she gasped. {
He was stricken dumb with amaze-
ment, unable to speak or move. {
“Luke!” she said again.
Then, as he shrank back, her hand
shot out and gripped him by the coat.
“Come in, for God’s sake!” she said
breathlessly, and half dragged him to
her side.
At that moment the chauffeur ar-
rived.
“Drive on,” she said, hurriedly. “This
She only hoped that the man could
not see the scarecrow who was seated
at her side.
“Where shall I go, madam?”
“To—to the house,” she said.
As the chauffeur climbed back into
his seat, a third figure appeared. He
came running down the street like a
man pursued, and gripping the handle
of the door, leaped onto the running
board as the car moved. She thought
at first it was a policeman, but then a
passing street lamp revealed the dark
face of Gunner Haynes.
“Don’t make a fuss,” he said, as he
blundered the door be-
hind him. “I've chased your car from
the Haymarket. Who's this?”
He peered forward and she heard
him whistle.
“Is that Mr, Maddison?”
“Yes, it's said Luke,
for the first time. |

ford. Do you know it? It’s three
quarters of an hour's run, and if we're
sucky we'll reach there before two of
the biggest rats that ever climbed out
of Thames mud.”
She leaned out of the window and
gave directions to the chauffeur.
Couldn't we drive on to Dover and
get on board the boat?” she asked
urgently.
Gunner Haynes shook his head.
“No, that won't work. The Sparrow
is a good fellow, but he'd jail his own
mother. And if, as I believe, Mr.
Morell, or whatever his present name
is, has blown—has told the story of
Tiffanny’s—every boat will be watched
and besides, there isn't one till day-
light that we could possibly catch.
There’s only one chance, and that is
for Mr. Maddison to appear in Spain,
where he is supposed to be; I think
that can be worked—unless Mr. Danty
Morell has got too far ahead of uss”
He peered forward again.
“You've got a fur coat on—that’s
good. You can lend it to your hus-
band. It’ll look rather silly, but no-
body will see him.”
“What are you going to do?”
asked.
“I'm going on an airplane ride to-
night and he's going with me,” he said.
“As for you, Mrs. Maddison, your
work is very simple. You'll return to
London; you'll lie a little—I hope it
won’t hurt you very much—and leave
for Spain tomorrow. If I can’t get him
there after I've landed him in France,
I'm a Dutchman.”
There was a silence, and then:
“TI know a better way,” she said
quietly. “I can go with him.”
To her surprise, the Gunner did not
combat that suggestion.
“Perhaps you're wise,” wad his com-
she
ment.
They came at last to a dark ana
bumpy road, and here the car was
stopped by the Gunner's instructions.
He got down and pointed into the
darkness.
“Pull your over there and shut
off all your lights,” he said, and when
this was done and with great trouble
tlie car had been maneuvered over the
rough ground and the engine had been
shut off, he came back to the

“Well, what next?’ asked Connor.
“The next is a long walk back to the

“TI guessed that,” she said quietly.
It was still drizzling and the clouds
were low, but neither of the three pas-
sengers evinced the slightest anxiety
as, with the roar of the engines, the
big monoplane swept into the _dark-
ness, up and up, through the thick
mist of clouds, until they emerged,

“I found the letters, Danty,” said
Haynes softly. “You know just how

Danty said nothing, He grabbed the
arm of his reluctant friend and almost
dragged him back to-+ the roadway.
