CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT I The footsteps reached once more down tbs passage mkl the opening and dosing of a door ended their existence as far as Beef was concerned. He frowned perplexedly, hardly aMe to credit what ho had heard and then began to feel about I the floor 6>r the key which the unknown had pushed bewoth the dwr He found It With infinite precaution his hands crept over the d"or to find the keyhole. Re almost wept when hr had worked right up one side of the, door and had found nothing but blank wood. Then it occurred to hm: the keyhole might bo on the other rids. It waa. Holding hie breath so that he himself should hear the slightest click or squeak. Be.! gently and painstakingly inserted the key into * the hole. When it was firmly in its place, and there was no possibility. of its falling out again, he relaxed a moment and breathed deeply. ! With hie ear near the keyhole he listened intently for some moments , . . . then, getting to hie feet, ha I placed his shoulder to the door and loaned his weight against it so that the wards of the lock should be free of all pressure when he turned the key. thus reducing any noise to a minimum. As though his very life depended ( upon it, as well it might. Beef , eased the key round in the te-k There was a slight dick and, as he Straightened himself, the door gave , He cudgeled his brains in an of ( fort to remember whether the door | squeaked on its hinges or not. He | | found himself quite unable to re member It was one of those thing- | that you did not notice Whenever that door had opened before. Beef i had been far more interested in hi» '. visitors than in the door itself. Almost imperceptibly he swung the door towards <>nn and it cried , aloud with a sound like that of a rusty gate. "Gawd!” breathed Beef, sweating - profusely. He stood quite still, he- , toning, but nobody came to see what was the matter and once mors he I moved the door. Thirty seconds later, Bwf was i standing outo'de in the corridor. He had not the faintest idea in which direction to turn. To the right lay the room to which he had teen taken for questioning and flogging. To the left... he did not know. For a moment or so, he stood I wondsn ng whether he should lock the door of the room from which he i had just escaped. There was a pro and con about doing so. If he locked It and left the key in the door, anyone passing would assume that the prisoner was still inside, but they . only had to turn the key to see whether he waa or not On the other i hand if ho left the door ajar he eould retreat to the room should he , be obliged to do so. It was at this point that Beef, < for the first time, began to wonder who it was who had pushed the key under the door to him. Rum, that! Jolly rum! Bit of all right, to he sure! Well, he had no means of finding out now. leaving the door I ajar, he turned left down the pas- - sage and felt his way through the iangen-us darkness i He went slowly on hands and

After two minutes of careful esploratlon. Beef found himself la a raf-de-eae ... the walls of the passage eame to a squared off Snd. Ho suspected it was a door which barred further pr grees but could find ne , . rack or hinge or molding, to indicate such a thing. By this tim», the tips of his fingers were Imrfng their sensitiveness. He placed the back , . of his hand on the wall to his right and then on the wail to Me left, i Same feature and temperature. Wood’ He placed the berk of the •ame hand against the end of the passage. Much colder, smoother. Metal! Be<f rained himself to his feet, placed bc*h hands as high up as he >-ould reach on this flat expanse, end m reel them slowly apart horltentally. When he had reached both walls of the narrow passage with Ms hands, he brought them down an meh or eo and then m< ved tnem together. In tha centre he found an object which felt like a bell push. Was it a bell push? With a quick mental calculation at to where exactly his cel! was should it prove to be a bell. Beef put his thumb on to this object and pressed. There came a scries of soft, i metallic '-langs as of well-oiled wards sliding in well-oiled 510t5.... Tentatively, the tense veteran pushed. To his astonishment, his left hand went away from him while hie right eame towards him. TMdoor was swung <>a a central pivot * It was with the feelings of an explorer plunging into the unknown that Beef crawled through thv doorway into what lay beyond. He felt the wall just inride the door, hoping to find an electric light •witch, and be did. He decid'd to flick on the light for one quick survey of the room. Beef pr< seed the switch down, instantly and brilliantly illuminating the room What he saw made his jaw drop and he stood goggling. f.-.lmtiy Beef was in a newly built storehouse of '.-oncrete. the room about sevi-n feet high, its ceiling supported at frequent intervals by concrete pillars. It was aa large as an indoor tennis court. However, it was not its siae which staggered the old detective, but its contents. He once had been attached to the Explosives Department of Scotland Yard and he knew what ho beheld now. There was enough gelignite, dynamite and nitroglycerine In this place to destroy —ls distributed — half the buildings in England. “Good grief!" breathed Beef and switched off the light. He stood in frowning thought for some time; then, after listening carefully, once more pressed the light switch and gently closed the door. Removing his heavy shoes, ho went nimbly on stockinged feet about the solid concrete floor, his prai-

used eye picking eut a battery here, a roil there and finally a small clock. His fingers seemed clumsy to him and to have lest their cunning from lack of praeties but he went doggedly on . . . within an boor his work was complete. Re eould only guess at the time; this made his desperate resolve the more danAm realed handiwork, he heard a noise m the passage outride With a flying leap, tbs eld detective reached the light swtteb and plunged the sterrhouae late darkness. He crouched beside the door, held his breath, heard the sound of even breathing just behind the jamb of the deer. Re felt, rather than beard, the d»<>r vwmg on its well-oiled pivot; the next moment he seised the intruder by the Irga, jerked them from under him. Beef fought with the power of desperation but he was no r-steh for bis antagonist Every Mow •truck some part of him already battered from the savage koeingn he had undergone, floor, a Lce.slikr wallop sent him •■.aggerisg bach to crash into something which erilapeed under him with the noise of tin eans. Shouts were heard and the sound of men running. Somebody pressed the light switch down. Beef rose dully to his fret to see bis late antagonist held by either arm while Lieutenant Rota and two others stood by with drawn revolvers. “Strike me pink!" gasped Beef as he utarrd at the man w ith whom | he had fought. "Sir John!" The latter's mouth was bleeding but he smiled at his old friend and said, “Just bad luck, old man!" “Sir John!" snapped Rots as his face rigi’trred amssemtnt. “Sir John Meredith?" "That's me." nodded John "Where Jo we go from here?” He eaught •ight of Beefs face. “My—my. Beef! I am so sorry! Had no idea I'd knocked you about like that" Beefs swollen lips twisted slightly In a smile as be said, “That's alt right, sir, you didn’t do that These bloody for’ners have been beating me up " “I see." said Meredith very quiefr ly. “I'm afraid there's nothing we ran do about it at the moment, old man. but don't worry too mueh. Well put such gentry into piekle yet" As the two men were bustled roughly from that secret magarine. Beef looked at Sir John and said, "I'm awfully glad to see you, air, in one way, but 1 wish you weren’t m it, too.” “The prisoners silence will observe!" shouted Rots. Ria scowling face flushed aa Meredith chuckled. “Did you get that, B«f? 'The prisoners silence will oboerve.'" Rots slapped Meredith's face. "One of his little tricks, Sir John," commented Beef. Despite the revolver stuck in Me back. Meredith halted and regarded Rota with critical expression. "You must remind me," be told the puttied Nati, “to take you apart tome time---" "Silence!" roared R..ta, e (To be continued) CaewiOM w raw ewtl to
