Foster went to his room, deep in speculative thought, immersed in it over head and ears. . ~ And Elsie, how had she come to be at St. Alban's? , Why that dis- trict? There was only one way to find out, and that way was to obey the wire and go. He resolved that he would not tell Maud his destination, he would simply make an excuse to run up to London, He fished out a time-table and saw that he had a good margin in which to reach the town by the train indicated. : He packed his case with necessar- fes for a night's stay, and, having hastily explairied that he must go to London, set out on his journey. But he took care to impress on both Maud and. Mrs. Gibbs that 'they were still to carry out his previous instructions not to go out at night and - when: they retired, to see that their windows were fastened and the blinds: drawn. He made his connections and ar- rived at St. Albans by a slow train . that was considerably late. At the _ station there was no vehicle waiting for him. There were two cars, but they were for other passengers. He inquired of a ticket collector how far the Luss private 'hospital was from the station, and was told that it was a good twenty minutes' walk. It was _ out beyond the town. As he was-0b- taining this information a taxi-driv- er appeared and asked if he wanted a cab. ) : "I. suppose I'd better have one," said Foster. : He thought it was lucky that the taxi had: come into the station yard Just then. : 4 "We charge double fare for the hospital after six o'clock," said the " man, "but as I live out that way I'll take you for the ordinary." They started out in a slight drizzle - of rain. : NE " Half 'an hour passed, during which the evening was becoming rapidly darker and the rain had' changed to "a thick ground mist. They were in a side road off the main one when the taxi drew up and the driver got down from his box, z "4Sorry, sir, but you'll have to with the beating of a thousand ham- else of such quality? : 1ipel 2 Lf a it ae then she should be willing to take Hitter onthe race --coutsys mers, and he felt as if demons were boring through his "skull with red- hot pokers. : Voices came through the blood-red | mist that danced before his closed eyes.

From down the road came the rumble of a car. Foster heard, but did not understand all that he heard. His muddled brain merely register- ed the words without their meaning; but the meaning was bound to come later. , He was aware that a car had drawn up. 'He 'heard someone 'approach; and then a woman's voice cried out in swift horror: "What's this? to harm him--" : "Shut up)" growled a harsh tone. ; Foster, lying on the road, stirred at the voices. He made a tremen- dous effort to rise. His head spun round, and his weak voice roared like a trumpet. ' "Hughes! Hughes! Help!" : To him it seemed as if he had ut- tered but a whisper. But he heard the man's tone give an order. "Here you fellows, clear out! I'll look after him." Foster fell back; his head struck hard against the ground. He lay still, He had a vague feeling that a long time passed before anyone came to him. Again he was wrong. He felt someone stoop beside him. He felt a hand touch his neck as if to raise his head; and he felt a sharp pain where the fingers touched, as if a needle had been run into his flesh, And then he forgot every- thing and the world became a blank. "FETCH THE SURGEON QUICK!" Foster awakened with rain splash- ing on his, face. / itd He was lying in a ditch. Every- thing was dark around him., He heard the rain beating down on the road, and saw it leap upward as the drops .splashed in the puddles. He was soaked: through.
