I want the light from the win-' dow to shine upon us. I said I would keep you interested, so we shall have to talk. '1 hope that you will talk tty," Pr will try," was the mejoinder. "But 1 have got to be rude first. 1 shall never make you Lady 'Bulpeter. You are guite clear on that?" "Quite clear. But I am clearer still 'that you will make me something else. Just think how frightful it would have been if the original Sherlock's Watson had been a woman and Sherlock had had to marry her to prevent her from showing him up as a donkey." "So that's the position? Well, let's live up to it." They did, for the space of half an hour, when Adela's cooing dove note changed into the admonitory whisper: "Look out! It's coming." "And le has brought his master's car. That is to take my body away in, It would have been "Father thinks that Mr. Stampage's | a silly thing to leave it lying about the advice is sound." Adela replied. "The sham Lord Bulpeter is evidently dan- gerous and should be dealt with. The details" are for arrangement between Wilmot and myself." "They could not be in more capable hands," purred Mr. Honeybum: "Wil- mot is probably in the stable yard, Jem, take Miss Larkin round, will you, and then come back to me." So Adela found herself trotting at the heels of a surly young man who --novel experience--evidently didn't like her, Wilmot was discovered in the extemporized garage, lying on his "back under the car. It was a claret- colored ear, not a yellow one, she was quick to note. Wilmot scrambled to his feet. "Miss Larkin desires a few words with you," 'said Mr. James Honeybun. "We want you to carry out whatever she suggests. =e + Left alone ' with ' Wilmot, Adela studied the atrocious countenance with the keen scrutiny of a student 'in anatomy. Cunning and cruelty wére stamped on it and Adela "rejoiced, thosé being the qualities she needed for Her project. "Wilmot, you don't feel friendly to- wards. Miss Lathrop's private detec- tive?" she began. "I was sure of that. He has been close to your tracks more than once lately, I happen to know." "So do 1," growled the chauffeur, road. And so untidy." It will be seen that for a man about to make the supreme sacrifice," as the special correspondents used to call it, the gentleman who had borrowed Lord Bulpeter's plumes was in flippant mood. The car slid quietly to a full stop, with its bonnet pointing to the closed lodge gates, and the driver got down as though to open-them. But as he passed the couple who had spent the i ; : 5 if 5e 2 £3 {he g £ 4 i "his lamp, drew the cur- tain over the diamond-paned window and looked an unspoken question at his "We will prop him up in that chair, have him howling for help if I have to hurt him a little" "Thivd degree, mister?" said Stur. man. "What in the name of Moses might, that be?" "It is an American invention used by the detectives of the new world for extorting confessions from crooks," was the reply. "By word and deed they make the créok so uncomfortable that, to escape further torment, he talks, That js the way I propose to deal with Mr, Wilmot." Now it so happened that Mr, Wil- mot hdd been in America, and that without having to brave the terrors of Ellis Island. He had been born in "God's Own Country," end he had signalized his American citizenship by serving a term of imprisonment in a prison. "None knew better than he what the third degree meant, and if his mouth was gagged his ears were not. His eyes goggled at the speaker in dumb horror, : "Put a match to the kindling on your hearth, Sturman," the master of need to heat the poker, judging by the obstinate glint in our friend's eye." But the mere' threat had done its work. The sweating wretch in the chair contrived in dumb show to indi- coercive measures would not be nec- essary. "So much the better for you," said the representative of Lord Bulpeter. "And justeto test you let me ask you this. Were you instigated to murder me by Miss Adela Larkin?"
