J , parently bodyguards, they iml diately fell in to Baron von Rs ' ner's right and left. On this tno, however. No wasted hardly a second glance, was on the two seafaring m< n v followed that he fixed his atb ntl They were puzzling him for, th i dressed in grimy merchant oflici serge uniforms, there was in th carriage a hint of drilled stiffn which, aa a rule, only military u possess. The foremost, a blunt-feaui giant at least six feet two, was <1 tinguished by bristling blond m taches which swept off to either s of his broad and shiny snub no Never, North was thinking, had seen blonder hair than that of t stolid seafarer who, strang enough, walked without the l<»i rolling gait of a sailor. Moreov that blond hair was clipped v< short, and what particularly inti rated North was the fact that m v oral places angry red and bl bruises showed very disUncf through the stubble. Swiftly he made an accurate ml tai inventory of the figure: doth dark blue serge, gray turtle-ne sweater, both smeared with great a sheath knife such as is carried nearly all non-Anglo-Saxon sailoi heavy, badly made cowhide boou a sort associated with Europe peasants. By and large, a very in« esting get-up. North’s interest grew apace whi he noted on the side of the sec.’i man’s brutal red face a dark purj bruise; he, too, had recently receivi a hard bump. How? Then the blond giant in th. lei halted and, narrowing his sms pale blue eyes, peered through tl eddying smoke at North's table. With evil premonition, the mb Ugenee captain’s .yes flickered sid wise to realise that Kilgour had u consciously exposed most of h fare. Breathless, North watehi the blond giant’s wide features al on them saw suspicion giv. way alarm, and alarm to menace. "Quick!" North muttered. "Th big fellow with the bruised heab know him?"
