BRITZ ue HEADQUARTERS pi BY MARCIN BARBER Supplied Exclusively y in Canada by the British & Colonial Press, Limited, Toronto. The hollow thud of his brot heels told him the room below was bare too. Evidently, he was in'a bufld'ng that was abandoned in whole or in part. - The reflection made him just a little uncomfortable. If there wes one thing that got on the cool detec 'tiye's nerves it was the idea of being helpless in a fire. He would not mind fighting his way out of a burning house--he had done so mors than once. But the thought of being hem med in by four walls, unable to move hand or foot, with flames sweeping through the structure or crawling hungrily towards him had been ® the phantasy of hig few nightmares. He dreaded it with all the dread of a strong man whe lusts for action ip danger. So long as Britz could baitle for life or liberty, he was sure to be happy. He would have shone only in a literal sense as the hero of an auto-da-fé. The Headquarters sleuth, however quickly dismissed from his mind the unpleasant possibility that suggested itself. It was true he would have pre ferred even the return of his abduc tors to the probability of beiug roast ed like a trussed fowl. but it algn was true that there was no special reason to fear the building would blaze. The important thing was, 10 escape oeiore he could be assailed by either Kidnap pers or flames. Tha! he had en deserted by the three men w him in the park did not occur to him He thought of them ag coming back to carry out the purpose of their da ing capture. It was far from des'r able that ha be there an 'heir return Yei how should he get away? Al ready he felt the futility of striving to snap his bonds by gtrengta He must have re her method But what?

He could not do it in the middle of the floor Slowly, carefully. he worked his way on his knees to the wall, against which he braced him self. Then, bit by bit, he hent teet forward in a demilune un:i! his weight was on knees and tocs. Hi progress Was as painful as it was slow, for the silk scarf compelled his ankles to bend in unison. if at al and even when he had bent his toes to the requisite point it was a grea strain to keep them there A whim of fancy.

Of course, it was only patargi that any one in any way connected with the cage should come into his mind, vet it undoubtedly was strange that the pleture of the demure débutante should present itself to his inner vision so vividly and so persistently Close behind it came recollection of another afternoom on which he has seen little Miss March canrering along the hridle path near the obelisk --an afternoon months before he ever heard of the Missioner mystery. no seized mai ourse to ano on his face As hind his back floor, and he he and floor dis only the not his moment The detective. after a brie! pause to gather his strength, set his shoul der against the wall apd threw all his forpe into a single, vigorous panel The movement almost threw him to the floor again. but he recofered his poise quickly and stood erect. For a few moments he was content to fevel in the relaxation hat was so welcome after his long -ontinuance in & aramped and prostrate position Then a second's forgetfulness. natural enough to one accustomed to his free dom of movement, almost undid the work of the last half hour. He tried to step away from the wall oblivious to the scar? that bound his ankles, and pitched forward heavily. Hae did not fall to the floor. however, for some thing sharp and hard stopped him. He found himself wadged between a metallic framework and the wall. A venomous hise and the contac: of his bound bands with hot metal told him he bad fallen on a steam radiator, and as the hissiog sound increased he guessed the shoc™ had broken the little safety valve cloze to the top of the curved pipes. If the detectives position had been perilous before i was extra hazardous now. He was gripped in the jaws formed by the radiator and the wall, agd with ! neither hands nor feet at liberty, it seemed next to impossible for him to | free himsell.

But with doors and windows tightly ehut there was x very strong likelihood that If he remained in that room long enough with the steam escaplug at its presemt rate, he would suffocate in the surcharged alr--would. in fact, be drowned many stories above the street level. Britz could mot repress An inward smile at the grim humor of the thought, but ressjived he wou'd aot jet circumstances carry 'the joke too far. '1 wouldn't look natural parboi'ed" he said to himself, 1a great datec tive was not without hig perc-:'aga of vanity, and one of his few wea: nasses was a lifelong determination to lie in such state as his Assembly District could afford i: a casket of real rosewood that siould cost al least four figures. A resolve '0 do full credit to that luxurious en-asement when his time should ~ome had h:lp ed, In its time, to pull Britz unsea hed out of many a tight piace in which otherwise the plan of his conzttuction might have heen altered tialent'y. Bracing his shouldarg ence more Against the wall, Bri'z began another series of vigorous Attemp's to hreak the silken scarves. or to s'ip out of them. Exerting all hig strength he | strained alternately at wiist and ankles, and ground between his teeth the little ball of silk that hlocked his voice, But it was al} to na purnase. His eapiors knew their trade. and the | clinging bonds, while yielding, did nat give at any paint sufficiently to sel the sleuth at liberty. Sudden'y a thought, swift and keen as a saber flash, clove its way straight through hir perplexity.

There were not many lights on that side of the building. but a faint gleam in the depths enabled him to judge that he was about at the tenth story, and that ihe building was in an unfreguented aptown street. Withdrawing his tiead te pressed the button of a pocket elec tric torch and explored the room. From the style of ite finish it evidently was a section of an unoccupied apart: ' ment in a new and rather pretentious building, a room planned to be cat oft from the rest of the suite, for it seemed to give directly on the hall, and was stoarated from its neighbor by a fireproof door of massive steel. He seized the bandie. It turned readily, but the door did not open. The same was true of the door be tween the room and thé hall. He shook both doors with all his strength hut they had heen locked too stoutly to yield. It was apparent the kidnap pers had made him a prisoner in full knowledge of the unifkeliiood he would be released speedily. That they had plotted his death was not certain, but: It was unmistakable they had | given themselves little, if amy, ocon- cern in that respect, Britz thought | of the possibilities af fire as he had lain hound on the floor, and an un- pleasant sensation passed over him: but he hastened back to the window And examined the outside of the bulld with a view to escape in that direc tion. He did not expect to overtake als abductors quickly, nor was he even of a mind to devote the bulk of his time to that purposes. But he re marded the capture of his recent cap lors as an imporragt side enterprise | to the solution of the great diamond mystery, and habit made him eager to begin working withont delay There was a fire escape on the floor whence he !coked out--4 thoroughly modern contrivances with flat steps. and .a reallr serviceable handrail-- but it did no! run to the window at which he stood. However, Britz had more than one attribute of the lynx, and it did dot tax hig agliity greatly to reach the baleony while stil grip- ping the window frame securely and. with one quick movement, to swing himself over the ladder rail It was the work-of a minute or two to run down the easy steph to the first floor above the street and. from that point, he hal énly a whort drop to the sidewal:.

He laud- ed the life of a soldier, and said that he with many others was willing to go if necessary to help the mother country in this crisis There was wothing nobler than that a' man should give his life for his country. if he fell in battle the home was with those left behind, but their fam ilies would be provided for "For some: time,"" Mr. Manson said, "1 have been emdeavoring to interest my friends in parliament in the wel- fave of the widows and orphans of those men who years ago gave their lives for their country.
