CHAPTER X11— Continued.

"Right. Throw your gun on the
floor." Drummond picked up the wea-
pon and put It in his pocket; then lie
rang the bell. "I had hoped," lie mur-
mured. "for a larger gathering, but
one cannot have everything."
Save to Peterson, who understood.
If only dimly, what had happened, the
thing had come as such a complete
surprise that even the sudden entrance
of twenty masked men, who ranged
themselves In single rank behind their
chairs, failed to stir the meeting. It
merely seemed In keeping with what
had gone before.
"I shall not detain you long, gentle-
men," began Hugh, suavely. "Your gen-
eral appearance and the warmth of the
weather have combined to produce in
me a desire for sleep. But before I
hand you over to tbe care of the
sportsmen who stand so patiently be-
hind you, there are one or two remarks
I wish to make. Let me say at once
(hat on the subject of Capital and La-
bor I am supremely Ignorant. You
will therefore be spared any disserta-
tion on the subject. But from an ex-
haustive study of the ledger which now
lies upon the table, and a fairly inti-
mate knowledge of Its author's move-
ments, I and my friends have been put
to the lnconveulence of treading on
you. -
"There are many things, we know,
which are wrong in this jolly old coun-
try of ours; hut given time and the
right methods I am sufficiently op-
timistic to believe that they could be
put right. That, however, would not
suit your book. You dislike the right
method, because It leaves all of you
much where you were before. Every
single one of you—with the sole pos-
sible exception of you, Mr. Terrance,
and you're mad—is playing with revo-
lution for his own ends: to make mon-
ey out of It—to gain power. . . .
"I,et us start with Peterson—your
leader. How much did you sfly he de-
manded. Mr. Potts, as the price of rev-
olution?"
With a strangled cry Peterson
sprang up as the American millionaire,
removing Ills musk, stepped forward.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand
pounds, you swine, was what you asked
me." The millionaire stood confront-
ing his tormentor, who dropped bafk
In his chair with a groan. "And when
I refused, you tortured me. Look at
my thumb."
With a cry of horror the others sit-
ting at the table looked at the mangled
flesh, and then at the man who had
done It. Tills, even to their mind, was
going too ffir.
"liien there was the same sum,"
•ontinued Drummond, "to come from
Hocking, the American cotton man—
half German by birth; Stelnemann,
the German coal man; Von Gratz, the
CJerman steel 1111111. Is that not so,
Peterson?" It was an uitow at a
fenture, but It hit the ma'-k, and Pe-
tersen noddei^.
"So one million pounds was the
ctake tills benefactor of humtnanlty
was playing for," sneered Drummond.
•One million pounds, as the mere
f-rlce of a nation's life-blood. . , " .
Out at any rate be had (he merit of
ilnylr.g big, whereas the rest of you
icnm, and the other beauties so ably
:atalogued in that book, messed about
#t his heck and call for packets of
full's eyes. Perhaps you labored tin-
ier the delusion that you were fool-
ing him, but the whole lot of you are
to d—d crooked that you probably
thought of nothing but your own filthy
skins.
"Listen to me." Hugh Drummond's
voice took on a deep, commanding
ring, and against their will the four
men looked at the broad, powerful
wldler, whose sincerity shone clear
in his face. "Not by revolutions and
direct action will you make this Island
of ours right—though 1 am fully
aware that that Is the last thlpg you
would wish to see happen. But with
your brains, and for your own un-
scrupulous ends, you gull the work-
tngman Into believing it. And he, be-
. ause you can talk with your tongues
In your cheeks. Is led away. He be-
lieves you will give him Utopia;
whereas, In reality, you are leading
him to h—I. And you know It. Evo-
lution Is our only chance—not revo-
lution; but you. and others like
you, stand to gain more by the
latter. . . ."
His hand dropped to his side, and
he grinned.
"Quite a break for me," he re-
marked. "I'm getting hoarse. I'm
aow going to hand you four over to
the boys. There's an admirable, but
somffthat muddy pond outside, and
I'm ware you'd like to look for newts.
If Hii.v of you want to summon me for
assault and batteif, my name is
Drummond—Captain Drummond of
Half Moon street. But I warn you

boys, and give 'em h—1. . . .
"And now, Carl Peterson," he re-
marked, as the door closed behind the
Ifst of the struggling prophets of a
new world, "it is time that you and I
settled our little account, Isn't It?"
The master-criminal rose and stood
facing him. Apparently be had com
plet«!y recovered himself: Li1* baud
Willi which lie lit his cigar was as
steady as a rock.
"I congratulate you, Captain Drum-
mond," be remarked suavely. "1 con-
fess I have no idea how you managed
to escape from the somewhat cramped
position I left you in lust r.ight, or
how you have managed to install your
o\vn men In this house. But 1 have
even less idea how you. discovered
about Hocking and the other two."
Hugh laughed shortly.
"Another time, when you disguise
yourself as tbe Comte de Guy, remem-
ber one thing, Carl. For effective con-
cealment it is necessary to change
other things besides your face and
figure. You must change your man-
nerisms and unconscious little tricks.
No—1 won't tell you what It Is that
gave you away. Vou can ponder over
It in prison."
"So you mean to hand me over to
the police, do you?" said Peterson
slowly.
"I see no other course open to me,"
replied Drummond.
The sudden opening of the door
made both men look round. Then
Drummond bowed, to conceal a smile.
"Just In time, Miss Irma."
The girl swept past him and con-
fronted Peterson.
"What has happened?" she panted.
"The garden Is full of people whom
I've never seen. And there were two

"But Where Is He?" Said the Girl,
Through Dry Lips.
men running down the drive covered
with weeds and dripping with wa-
ter."
Peterson smiled grimly.
"A slight setback has occurred, my
dear. I have made a big mistake—a
mistake which has proved fatal. I
have underestimated the ability of
Captain Drummond; and as long as I
live I shall always regret that I did
not kill him the night he went explor-
ing in this house."
Fearfully the girl faced Drum-
mond; then she turned again to Peter-
son.
"Where's Henry?" she demanded.
"That again is a point on which I
am profoundly ignorant," answered
Peterson. "Perhaps Captain Drum-
mond can enlighten us on that also?"
"Yes," remarked Drummond, "1 can.
Henry has had "an accident. After I
drove him back from the duchess' last
night"—the girl gave a cry, and Pe-
terson steadied her with his arm—
"we hnd words—dreadful words. And
for a Jong time, Carl, I thought It
would be better if you and I hnd simi-
lar words Ir. fact, I'm not sure even
now that It wouldn't be safer In the
long run. . . ."
"But where is he?" said the girl,
through dry Hps.
"Where you ought to be, Carl," an-
swered Hugh grimly. "Where, sooner
or Inter, you will be."
He pressed the studs In the niche
of the wall, ar.d the door of the big
safe swung open slowly. With a
scream of terror the girl sank lialf-
falntlng on the floor, and even Peter-
son's cigar dropped on the floor from
his nervous lips. For, hung from the
celling by two ropes attached to his
arms, was the dead body of Henry
Lakington. And even as they watched
It," It sagged lower, ar.d one of . the
feet hit sullenly against a beautiful
old gold vase. . . .
"My God!" muttered Peterson. "Did
you murder him?"
''Oh, no!" answered Drummond.
"He Inadvertently fell in the bath he
got ready for me, and then when he
ran up the stairs In considerable pain,
that Interesting mechanical device
broke his neck."
"Shut the door," screamed the girl;
"I can't stand It."
She covered her face with her
hands, slmddering, while the door
slowly swung to again-
"Yes." remarked Drummond thought-
fully. "it should lie an Interesting
trial. I shall luive such a lot to tell
them about the little entertainments
here, and ail your endearing ways."
With the big ledger under his arm
lie crossed I he room and called
some men who were standing outside
in the hall; and as the detectives,
thoughtfully supplied by Mr. Green,
entered ilie central room, he glanced
for the Inst time ni Carl Peterson and
his daughter. Never had tbe cigar
glowed more evenly between tbe mus-
ter-criminal's Hps; never had tbe girl
Irma selected a cigarette from her
gold and tortoise-shell case Willi more
supreme indifference.
"Good-by, my ugiy one!" she cried,
with a charming smile, as two of the
men stepped up to her.
i"Good-by." Hugh bowed, and a tinge
of regret showed for a moment in his
eyes.
"Not good-by, Irma." Carl Peterson
removed his cigar, and stared at
Drummond steadily. "Only au revoir,
my frietid; only au revoir."
EPILOGUE.
"I simply can't believe it, Hugh."
In the lengthening shadows Phyllis
moved a little nearer to her husband,
who, quite regardless of the publicity
of their position, slipped an arm
around her waist.
"Can't believe what, darling?" he
demanded lazily.
"Why, that all that awfi'.l night-
mare Is over. Lakington dead, and
the other two in prison, and us mar-
ried."
"They're not actually in jug yet, old
thing," said Hugh. "And somehow
. . ." he broke off and stared thought-
fully at a man sauntering past them.
To all appearances he was a casual
visitor taking bis evening walk along
the front of the well-known seaside
resort so largely addicted to honey-
moon couples. And yet . . . was
he? Hugh laughed softly; he'd got
suspicion on the brain.
"Don't you think they'll be sent to
prison?" cried the girl.
"They may be sent right enough,
but whether they arrive or not is a
different matter. I don't somehow see
Carl picking oakum. It's not his
form."
For a while they were silent, occu-
pied with matters quite foreign to
such trifles as Peterson and his daugh-
ter.
"Are you glad I answered your ad-
vertisement?" Inquired Phyllis at
length.
"The question Is too frivolous to
deserve an answer," remarked her hus-
band severely.
"But you aren't sorry it's over?"
she demanded.
"It Isn't over, kid; it's Just begun."
He smiled at her tenderly. "Your life
and mine . . . isn't It Just wonder-
ful?"
And once again the man sauntered
pnst them. But this time he dropped
a piece of paper on the path. Just at
Hugh's feet, and the soldier, with a
quick movement which he hardly
stopped to analyze, covered it with his
shoe. .The girl hadn't seen the action; |
but then, as girls will do after such j
remarks, she was thinking of other
things. Idly Hugh watched the saun- j
terer disappear In the more crowded
part of the esplanade, and for a mo- j
nient There came onto his face a look j
which, happily for his wife's peace of j
mind, she failed to notice.
"Let's go and ent. and after dinner
I'll run you up to the top of the head-
land. . . ."
Together they strolled back to their
hotel. In his pocket was the piece of
paper; and who could be sending him
messages in such a manner save on'
man—a man now awaiting his trial?
In the hall he stayed behind to in-
quire for letters, and a man nodded to
him.
"Heard the news?" he inquired.
"No." said Hugh. "Vyhat's hap-
pened ?"
'That man Peterson and the girl
have got away. No trace of 'em."
Then he looked at Drummond curious-
ly. "By the way, you had something
to do with that show, didn't you?"
"A little," smiled Hugh. "Just a lit
tie." , „
"Police bound to catch em again,
continued the other. "Can't hide your-
self these days."
And once again Hugh smiled, as h«
drew from his pocket the piece of pa.
per:
"Only an revoir, my friend; only at
revoir."
He glanced at the words written Ir.
Peterson's neat writing, and the smile
broadened. Assuredly life was stil!
good; nssuredly. . . .
And Into an ash tray nearby he
dropped a piece of paper torn into a
hundred tiny fragments.
"Was that a love-letter?" she de-
manded with assumed jealousy.
"Not exactly, sweetheart," he
laughed back. "Not exactly." And
over the glasses their eyes met.
"Here's to hoping, kid; here's to
hoplhg."
