Cf. .f>QrrJ.ic>e -12- In Which Hugh Drummond and the Reverend doaiua Longmoor Lunch Together 1 TheoTake "Rot, Hugh !" Peter turned n little Irritably from his covert Inspection of the Reverend Theodoslus Longmoor. "You've got Peterson on the brain. Why, that old bird Is no more like him than my boot." "Nevertheless, It's Peterson," answered Dn1mmond doggedly. ''It's just thnt one trick he can never shake off -that tapping with his left hand on bls knee--that made me spot him." "Well, gra~;~ted you're right," conceded Darrell grudgingly, "what do we do now, sergeant major?" "I don't know, Peter. I've got to think this out." "You're perfectly certain, Hugh?" said Peter, who was still far !rom convinced. "Absolutely, old man," answered Drummond gravely. "The clergyman over there Is Carl Peterson, late of the Elms, Godalming. And the game has begun again." Darrell gave a short laugh as he noted the gleam In his leader's eyes. "I'm thinking," he remarked soberly, "that this time the game is going to make us go all out.'' "So much the better,'' grinned Hugh. "We'll a'dd him to our collection, Peter, and then we'll present the whole bunch to the zoo. And, In the meantime, he shall lunch with us when Phyllis arrives, and prattle on theology to an appreciative audience. Incidentally It wll appeal to his sense of humor; there's no difficulty about recognizing us. Look out, he's comIng over." They turned as the clergyman crossed toward them. "Jolly old tum-tum beginning to shout for nourishment," said Hugh with an affable smile as he joined them. "My wife should be here at any moment now, 1\ir.-er-'' "Longmoor Is my name,'' said the elergyman, beaming on them. "It is very charming of you to take such compassion on a lonely old man." "Staying here all by yourself?" asked Drummond politely. "No; my daughter Is with me. The dear child has been my constant companion ever since my beloved wife's death some years ago. We have just returned from a visit to the famine&tticken area," replied the clergyman. "Most Interesting-but most terribly sad. You know-I don't think I caught your name." "Drummond,. Captain Drummond,'' altswered Hugh mechanically. "And this Is Mr. Darrell. I tl:ink I have had the pleasure of making your daughter's acquaintance already. She was manufacturing woolen garments for the Austrians down here, and I retrieved an elusive ball of wool for her." "That Is just my daughter all over, Captain Drummond," beamed the Reverend Theodoslus. "Never wasting her tim~ always doing something for the good ot humanity." But at the moment It is to be regretted that Hugh was not worrying his head over the good of humanity. Incenceivable thougl1 It was, judged ~ the mere matter of appearance, that the Reverend Theodosius was Carl Peterson, It was still more lnronceivable that the wool knitter could be Innli'. Of course Peterson might have ch;u1ged his daughter-but If he hadn't, what then? What had he said to Peter Da;{ll when the girl, recognizing him all the time, was sitting in the next chair? How much had she OYerheard? And suddenly Hugh began to feel that he was floundering in deep water. He glanced at his watch an<l turned to Darrell. "Confound the girl, Peter 1 She's nearly forty minutes htte." "Picked up a pal, old hoy," answered that worthy. "Picked up a pal and they're masticating a Bath bun somewhere. Why not leave a message at the door, and let's go on with lt? I'm darned hungry." The Reverend T!:leodoslus beamed from behind bls spectacles. "'Tis ever the same," he murmured gently. "But 1t is the prerogative of their sex." ''Well, let's todrlle In and take nour1 ment," said Hugh, taking holrl of the clergyman's arm with his hand and pushln~;:; him toward the restaurant. "By tbf! way, what about the daughter? Isn't she going to honor us?'' Not today," answered the Reverend Theodoslu~ "She Is lunching upstairs with the poor fellow I told yon about, whO!!I! office was wrecked last night. He Is sadly In need of comfot·t. I understnnd that the police are satisfied tbat three scoundrels we1·e luvolved 1n the crime. And two of them have escaped." "Dirty dogs,'' said Hugh, frowning. "Now 1! all three had been found adhering to the furniture It mi>(ht have reconciled you to the loss of those hundred acid drops." "lq fact," continued the clergyman, helping himself to some fish, "the whole thing Is \'Pry mysterious. However the pollee have every hope of laying their hands on the two others very shortly. An unfortunate clerlt who was brutally assaulted by them has confided to his employer that he believes he knows who one of the other two was. A huge man, Captain Drummond, of enormous strength: a man-well, really, do you know? a man I should imagine just like you. and a man, who, popular rumor has It, is the head of 11 m~·sterlous body ('fill· lng itself the Black Gang. So that should prove a valuable clue for the pollee when they hear o! lt." Not by the flicker of an eyelid did Drummond's face change as he listened with polite attention to the rlergyman's remarks. But his brain was moving quickly as he took in thi new development. One card, at any rate, was down on the table: his Identity as leader of the Black Gang was known to Peterson. It was the girl who had found him out: that was ob· vlous. The point was how did it affect matters. "An elusive person, I believe," be remarked quietly.
