But when the car pulled up sud- denly in a narrow street outside 1 large house with I somewhat shabby and neglected looking exterior, he was very much surprised.

Glynn, after a few minutes fast driving, waked to the fact that a mounted escort had set out with them must be left miles behind. He mentioned this to the supposed Hasim, who ex- plained glibly. "The troops." he said, "Glynn will flttht," cried Norah. "When they attack him he will f1trht if he had a fraction of . chance. They will give him little ehanee."

"Cut the man in hnlves at the waist and the chain is free. Give me a butcher's cleaver and I'll put the whole thing in your hands in three minutes." l This was bad enough, but the next turn of the talk sent a cold chill donw his spine. A big burly man with a badly squinting eye and a repulsively ugly face, pushed forward to the lender and, with a gesture towards the helpless figure of Glynn now stripped naked from the waist up, he offered to make a quicker work of it than ever they could of cutting the chain. l, From the talk of the men about him, he understood that they meant to waste no time. An order was given to bring toois--hammers, cold chisel: and files, to break the lock or cut through the chain. Glynn groaned at the thought that at last he ttsl beaten that on the threshold of 'll,'!': areas he was to be robbed of the film he mrried. I While this slow performance went on, Glynn tried to believe that delay might be helpful, that his capture would quickly be detected and a pur- suit set on foot. But the very unhaste" with which the men worked was eiearl indication that they felt themselves] safe and in no need to hurry, and Glynn was forced to the unpleasantl conclusion that, no matter how: energetic a search might be set on! foot, it must take time, perhapsI hours, to track down where the car had set him down. l This man quickly gave his opinion that something had been stuffed into the lock, and an effort was made with the wires and various imple- ments to pick it clear. But the liquid glue foiled all these efforts and the leader began to grow impatient. A light was brought and for a minute or two the leader fiddled with the key, trying to insert it in the lock, finding he could not do so. He left that for the moment and turned to an examination of the chain and the case through the hasps of which the chain was passed. When he had satisfied himself that the case could not be opened without the chain be..) ing unlocked or broken, he called ii-) other man forward to have a trial with the key. I His captors drew back and squatt- ed panting, to recover their breath and to nurse the bruises Glynn had managed to iMiet in the rough and tumble. Then one who seemed to be a lender, rose and producing a little‘ key gave orders to the others. Once attain Glynn's clothing was .iei:ifl ed open, his shirt roughly torn 11'/Pi and the chain round his waist expos-l [men had seized him, clinging tightly] ‘to his hands, arms, legs \nd everyl inch of him where they could get a grip. Glynn tried to fight back, not understanding the attack or the Gil son for it, but only that it was " tack and he must fight. But against such odds he was powerless. For a few minutes he rolled on the tioor' with his assailants hanging to him,| trying to pass thongs about him as he. kicked butted with his head, strug- gled to wrench his arms free if only. for an instant. It was no good. He was over-powered, bound hand and foot, dragged to a bench and lashed down on it. l The door swung silently shut behind him, apair of musculnr arms clamped round his wnm over his arms, Ind in un instant n swarm of inside, still without thought of thing wrong. There is something in that," said the leader thoughtfully, "and the Master said nothing of it maturing if the man were killed. Go then and find your eleaver." The others were so casual and cold- blooded in their reception of this pro- posal that iystitytivelr, Glynn knew it would be hopeless ti mak'eanya‘p- Peal to them.
