Bight, old man." He made no demur, hut just vanished while his leader slouched onquietly, toward the front door of 5 Green street. The e were already beating on It. while a large knot of Interested spectators giving gratuitous advice stood around them. And In the crowd Drummond could see six of his gang, six anxious men who had determined police or no police to get upstairs and see what had happened. In one and all their minds was a sickening fear, that the man they followed had at last bitten off more than he could chew that theyd find him blown to pieces In the mysterious room upstairs. And then, quite clear and distinct above the excited comments of the crowd, onme the hooting of an owl. A strange sound to hear in a London street, but no one paid any attention. Other more engrossing matters were on hand, more engrossing that is to all except the six men who Instantaneously swung half round as they heard It. For Just a second they had a glimpse of a huge figure standing In the light of a lamp post on the other side of the street then it disappeared. And with astonishing celerity they followed Its example. Who-eve- r had been hurt It was not Drummond ; and that, at the moment, was all they were concerned with. By devious routes they left the scene of the explosion each with the same goal in his mind. And within an hour six young men, shorn of all disguise and clad in Immuculate evening clothes, were admitted to Drummonds house In Brook street by a somewhat sleepy Denny. They found Hugh arrayed In a gorgeous dressing gown with a large tankard of beer beside him, and his wife sitting on the arm of Ids chair. What happened, old lad?" asked Peter Darrell.

His face w as grim and stern, and the others waited in silence for him to continue. There was a big desk In the room, and the bomb fell on one side of It ImperTed and I gave our sonation of an earthworm on the other, which saved us. Unfortunately Ginger Martin elected to run round In small circles and curse. And he will curse no more. "Dead?"
