SYNOPSIS Aboard the S.S. "Navarre,” bound for New York, Michael Lanyard, reformed "Lone Wolf" and underworld celebrity, it reunited with his son whom he thought dead. The boy, "Maurice I Parry,” has followed in the "Lone Wolf's” footsteps, but Lanyard hopes his son’s interest in Fenno Crozier, lovely daughter of the wealthy Mrs. Fay Crozier, will prove a good influence. Maurice steals Mrs. Crozier's Habsburg emeralds. Lanyard retrieves them for Fay. Detective Crane warns Lanyard to watch out for the venI geance of “Jack Knife” Anderson and "English Archie,” two gunmen whom Lanyard exposed for cheating Maurice at cards. Shortly afterwards, the gangsters steal Mrs. Crozier’s emeralds and plant them in Lanyard's cabin. Maurice saves his father by substituting imitations and secretly placing the emeralds in the purser's care for Fay. Notwithstanding Lanyard's innocence. Detective Pion is suspicious of him. Later, when one of “Jack Knife’s” accomplices tries to intimidate Lanyard into stealing the emeralds and splitting fiftyfifty with the gang, Maurice appears on the scene, masked. He knocks the gangster unconscious, planting a string of pearls stolen from the notorious gold-digger, Tess Boyce, in the thug’s pocket. Tess, in gratitude to Maurice for catching the thief, gives a dinner in his honor Lanyard disapproves of the society of Tess Boyce for his son, but Fenno asks him to leave Maurice to her. Discussing the Boyce robbery, Pion informs Lanyard that the prisoner swore Lanyard and Maurice planted the necklace on him. Later, Lanyard meets Tess and admires her courage in wearing her diamonds after last night’s robbery, suggesting it i might be safer to leave them with i the purser. "Too much bother,” ' Tess replies. CHAPTER XXI She broke off her statement to sign a denial to Maurice, who was waiting to ask her to dance. “No, thanks, nice thing. I’d rather stay here and make up to your old man. Grab yourself an armful of Estelle there, and give it a whirl instead.” “There’s no accounting for tastes, of course.” The boy sketched an impish salute. “The loss, madame, is yours.” “Great kid,” Tess Boyce drawled, watching him lead the other young woman away to the music, “and one dream of a dancer, if I’m any judge. I Look how light he is on his dogs. ' , . . Funny thing about last night,” she harked back: “I wasn’t asleep, really, just dozing; and all of a sudden I had a sort of feeling there was somebody else in the room, if you know what I mean; and I opened my eyes, and there was. He was stooping over my dressingtable, where I’d left a lot of this junk—too tired to put it away. ; Honest, I couldn’t believe my eyes I —it seemed so cheeky, I thought I must be dreaming. Only for a moment, though—only till he switched eff the night-light. He must’ve sensed I’d waked up, I guess, though I hadn’t stirred a finger or breathed hard or anything, because he didn’t stop a second—just blacked that light out and took it on the lam. And then I cut loose.” “You were able to identify the prisoner, then?” The eyes that widened to Lanyard’s were almost too guileless. “If they hadn’t caught him with the goods on, I’d never’ve believed ; it was the same fellow." “I see: he darkened the room too [ quickly.” “Not so quick that I didn't get a snapshot of a man a head taller, anyway, than the yegg you and your son helped pinch. Putting out the night-light didn’t make such a difference, you see—it was so dim and the moon so bright I could see him like a silhouette, if you know what I mean, between me and the windows, as he dived for the door. I'd never have believed the gorilla they found my pearls on could have moved like that—silent as a shadow, sure-footed as a cat and graceful! I couldn’t think of a thing but a panther.” “Yes." Lanyard nodded, without flinching from the stare of those wonder-struck eyes. “Only a few minutes ago. oddly enough, M. Pion and I were speaking of the unre- | —

wickedest twist. “Because he’s the Lone Wolf’s son.” “I’m afraid that would have counted against him, had Fate left it to you to identify the thief.” “Sure would. He just don’t know his luck. I'm pretty easy-going, monsieur, if you know w hat I mean; but if I hadn’t got that rope back! Why, they’re just everything I’ve got to remember my last husband by, those pearls, and some fancy black-and-blue spots that are almost faded out already.” The thin ascetic lips of Mr. Isquith, a taciturn third party to the talk, writhed in mild anguish; and the Boyce, marking this, gave way to gusty mirth. Lanyard seized the first excuse he could, with good grace, to withdraw his person as well as his mind from the party. And as soon as he was out of sight, Isquith leaned his prim mouth to the Boyce’s ears. “Nice work, kid,” he breathed, “ —very, very pretty 1 The way you got the wind up the old fox was a treat. Keep it un, now, that’s a good girl; don’t let him forget a minute he’s sitting on a powderbarrel and monkeying with matches; play him off against the punk—and we’ve got ’em where we want ’em, him and his whelp, right in the hollows of our little hot hands." • • 4 Smart knuckles on his stateroom door hailed Lanyard back, hours later, from the far horizon where waking consciousness dips under. Full-witted in a twinkling, he made a light, then sensibly demanded through the panels to know what was wanted. No name passed in response, but the nasal deliberation of the voice outside sounded authentic. With no more hesitation he drew the bolt. A grin of apology wreathed the pipe in Crane’s teeth as he entered. “Don’J bawl me out for ruinin’ your night’s rest." he begged, and . re-shot the bolt himself as Lanyard went back to bed. “I just figured I’d better give you this buzz before ■ the tip-off. if any I may be wrong: ’ but if I'm right, the less confabui latin’ 1 and you do behind closed • doors from now on. the better.”

“Figure to yourself that I have every confidence in you. Make yourself at ease, my friend, and when the spirit moves you, more lucid.” “I only want to know what you know, if anything.” Crane draped himself on the foot of the bed and tamped his pipe with a vague air which Lanyard took to screen keen observation. “About this kid of yours and the Boyce outfit: What’s the idea of all this fuss they’re makin' over him?” “But you already know, I am sure, about the service Maurice did Madame—” “Yeah, I heard about it. J’m just

a baek number, of course, and no- I body ever tells me anything—” “But you have been invisible all day—busy with your own affairs, presumably; one has had no chance for a chat with you.” “O. K. But it's hard to forget old habits. I can’t seem to break myself of pickin’ up pieces that people leave about, careless-like, and fittin’ them together. I’ve got a pretty ] good idea of what happened in here last night. Every time I think about it,” Crane with iron gravity professed, “I bust right out laughin’.” • “ ‘Laughing?’" “At the idea of a lad barely out ■ of his teens tackling a tough egg like Eddie the Frog, knockin’ him 1 for a goal and fishin’ a mess of stolen pearls out of his poke.” “To be accurate, it was that good Pion who found them—” “It would have been,” Crane with ambiguous readiness agreed. “He had to do something, naturally, to cop himself a piece of credit. 111636 French dicks are the hottest ever, to hear them tell it—it wouldn’t . have looked right to let an amateur up and pry him right out of the | picture.” “You do not like M. Pion, I take i it?” “I don’t think as much of him as j he does, that’s a fact. And what he i thinks of me is nobody’s business.” i “You are—if the question is not , indiscreet—professionally at odds, then?” “It isn’t that, so much,” Crane said with an utterly open face, “as that he’d thank me to ’tend to my own kniuin’. That ruckus last night wouldn’t have come off if he hadn’t been up-stage with me. I tried to wise him that Jack-knife and English Archie probably had heelers planted sotnewheres on board, but - he wouldn’t listen. That sort of ; thing was likely enough, he admit- .
