Tiie entrance to Number 5 Green street proved easier than Drummond had expected so easy as to be almost suspicious. No lights shone In the windows above: the house seemed completely deserted. Moreover, the door into the street was unbolted, and without a moments hesitation Drummond opened it .and stepped inside, followed by Martin and Ted Jerninglmm. The long bluck cloak had been discarded; only the black mask concealed his face, as the three men stood Inside the door, listening intently. Not a sound was audible, and after a moment or two Drummond felt his way cautiously through the downstairs office toward the flight of stairs that led to the rooms above. In single file they crept up the stairs, Drummond leading. The door at the top was ajar, and for awhile they stood In the carpeted passage above listening again. Along this passage are the clerks offices, he explained In a low voice to the other two. At the far end is another door which we shall probably find locked. Beyond that is the inner office, which we want. Well, lets get on wlv It, guvnor, muttered Ginger Martin hoarsely. There's no good in 'anglng abaht. Drummond switched on his electric torch, and flashed it cautionsiy round. Doors leading off the passage were open in most cases, and all the rooms were empty; It was obvious that none of the staff were about. And yet he felt an indefinable sense of danger, which he tried In vain to shake off. Somehow or other, lie fe!tcertain that they were not alone that there were other people in the house. But Ginger Martin had no such presentiments, and was rapidly becoming impatient. To open the door at the end of the passage, if it should prove to he locked, was such child's play rs to lie He wanted absolutely contemptible. to get on with the safe, which might take time, instead of fooling round in a passage listening for mice. Without a sound, the cracksman set to work; his coarse features outlined in the circle of the torch, Ids fingers handling his instruments as deftly as any surgeon.

Still no sound came from anywhere, though tiie dick as the lock shot back had seemed horribly loud in the silence. And then, Just as Martin cautiously turned the handle and pushed open the door, Drummond stiffened suddenly and switched off his tordi. He could have iyvorn that he heard the sound of voices close by.
