I may need your help." Bettington was startied. "You'll need a higher aid than mine, If It's anything serious." "It Is not a major operation, but It needs a man with the skill you used to demonstrate. I shan't need you yet. This business must be accomplished first If you do what I want I will give my word that I shall forget all your past life. You will be free." "You forget that you told everything to those three men." "They may not be In a position to tear witness against you. They are outlaws, remember." Bettington went to his room In no calm frame of mind. The Boss had evidently decreed wholesale death. But for the moment the time was not come for action. Not until a month had gone by would Clements attempt to extort his ransom. CHAPTER VI The Surgical Smile next Bettington . was awakened morning by the consciousness that the Albatross had stopped and was rolling gently. He rose and dressed quickly, and ere he had finished the yacht was under way once more. - On deck he was surprised to see up and down striding Radway Elgar briskly. There was an amazing look of vigor and health about him. He came cheerily to the other's side. "I have just had a delicious swim. It invigorates one. I dived down an enormous distance and left all my aches behind me." So that was why the Albatross was stopped. Bettington followed the owner to the saloon. It was his habit to eat sparingly at breakfast Plainly it was Radway's habit to eat a huge meal. He was concerned at the other's small appetite. "Take a dip with me tomorrow morning and you'll eat better. I eat a great deal because I work a great deal and need the fuel. The worker, if he works hard and at high speed, must eat and drink all he can." "There's a limit somewhere," Bettington warned. "That's the difficulty," the capitalist admitted. There was already that Riming sensation at the pit of his "Clements!" he called. "A little of that old cognac; not a pony bring It In a cocktail glass."
