It was four o‘clock when the exâ€" pedition for Cherbourg left the "*door of Liane‘s townâ€"house. The limousine was leading with Jules at its wheel; the touring car trailing, with the footman, Leon, as driver. In St. Germaimâ€"enâ€"Laye Lanyard first noticed the gray touring car.

And in another moment Leon found his feet and limped toward the' others. Something its nature just then mysâ€" terious, had apparently caused Leon to lose control of the heavy car, so that it had skidded into a ditch and capsized. Four men were swarming round the wreck. Two were helping the driver out, two others having their gallantry in performing like service for the maid rewarded by a torrent of vituperative denunciation, half hysâ€" terical and wholly infuriated. Below, at the foot of the hill, the headlights of another car, standing at some distance and to the right of the road, furnished lurid illumination to the theatre of disaster. They wore swooping down a long grade with a sharp turn at the botâ€" tom, when somewhere on ahead, there sounded a grinding crash, the noise of a stout fabric rent and crushed with the clash and clatter of shivered glass. "Easy," Lanyard cautionedâ€""and ready with the lights!" "Switch off your lights," he saidâ€" "all of them. Then find a place where we can turn off and wait till Leon and Martho pass us." The car swung out into the main highway. Far ahead the red sardonic eye in the rear of the limousine leered as if mocking their hopes of keeping it in sight. A bend in the road blotted out these lights. There was no toilâ€"light visible on the road before them. Lanyard touched Jules on the shoulder. In four minutes by Lanyard‘s watch, a blueâ€"white glare leapt quivâ€" ering past the bend, and lay horizonâ€" tal with the road as the car bored past. "Shoot, Julesâ€"follow _ his _ rear lamp," cried Lanyard. Jules picked out the mouth of a narrow lane, stopped, and backed into They drow away from the limouâ€" sine so quickly that in thirty seconds its headlights were all that marked its stand. 1t "Ahâ€"h!" Jules used the tone of one who perceives enlightenment as a blinding flash. "Marthe and Leon are in on the dirty work, too, eh? I shan‘t shed a solitary tear if something sad happens to them in this bus toâ€"night." The plan was carried out in a suburb of Caen; the gray touring car tore by in a cloud of dust as Lanyard and Liane shifted to the touring car with Jules as driver. "I‘m afraid you are right. Our plan is to change cars with Leon and Marthe; the gray car will pass and go on ahead before we make the shift; then you, mademoiselle and I follow in the touring car, the others in the limousine." "And I suppose that, in his bigâ€" hearted, wholesaler‘s way, he wouldn‘t mind making a bag of the lot of us toâ€"night." "I presume you set some value on your skin?" "Plumb crazy about it." "Mademoiselle Delorme and I are afflicted with the same idiosyncrasy. We want to save our lives, and we don‘t mind saying yours at the same time. In a gray car which has been following us ever since we left St. Germain, is the man whoâ€"I believe â€"murdered Monsieur le Momte de!
