BEGIN HERE TODAY SIR NORMAN GREYES, formerly of Scotland Yard, is devoting bis time to tracking down MICHAEL SAYERS. arch criminal. Sayers is known to Greyes under the alias of Stanfield. Michael drives in a small car to Brown's bank in the suburb of Leeds and robs It of over 7.000 pounds. Stepping from the bank into a touring car in which JANET SOALK, his confederate, awaits him. Sayers races for Scotland. Roberson, who takes charge of the small ear. Is arrested, but freed tor lack of evidence. Sir Norman tracks Michael to Scotland, where he-finds him living under the alias of Grover. Greyes dines with Mr. and. Mrs. Grover and Is invited to a game of golf by Michael. NOW GO ON WITH STORY Sir Norman Continues “With pleasure,” I assented. “At 10 o’clock?” , “I will be In the clubhouse,” I promised him. “We go to bed, up here." he remarked. “practically with the sun.” I rose to my feet, I took my leave and as I walked down the drive, with the yellow moon shining through the sparse trees, I felt the ghosts of tragedy gathering. AT five minutes to ten on the following morning I watched Mr. James Stanfield push open his private gate leading onto the links, and stroll across toward the clubhouse. I waved my hand and stepped _back into the locker-room. Three or four men In .tweeds and golfing outfit were waiting there. In five minutes my prospective opponent entered. In five seconds the handcuffs were upon his wrists, and one of the three apparent golfers had the matter in hand. “You are charged,” he said, “with feloniously wounding William Hartnell, manager, and John Stokes, clerk, of Brown’s Bank in the Menwood road, Leeds, and with stealing from the premises the sum of seven thousand pounds. I should recommend you to come, with us quietly, and to reserve, for the present, anything you may have to say.” Looking at him as he stood leaning a little against his 6wn locker, I could have sworn that there was no manner of change in the face or expression of my enemy. He ignored the others and looked across at me. “This is your doing?” he asked. "Altogether,” I admitted. “You knew it —last night?” “It was you who reminded m'e that I need not take salt,” I replied. He nodded.

HER EYES WERE FILLED WITH A MINGLED LIGHT. A LIGHT OF ALLUREMENT AND CRUELTY. I MOVED TOWARD HER. ‘'The trick is to you." he confessed. "I am ready, gentlemen.” He walked quietly out to a waiting motor car. with a burly policeman on either side of him, and a very im- j portant man from Scotland Yard m the party. Rimmington and I were left behind, and presently we essayed j a round of golf. All the time my]

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG It’s Easy—ls You Know Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples—a bilious look in your, face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a fell-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver *.d bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are by their olive color. 15c and 30c. —#dvertisemelnt.

eyes kept straying toward the Lodge. No sign, however, came from there. “I still,” Rimmington remarked, as we waited for a few minutes on the tenth tee, “don’t quite understand how you tumbled to this affair so quickly.” “It was quite easy when you once admit the possibility of the occupants cf the Dartier car being concerned,” I replied. “Os course, Roberson was in it up to the eyes. It was Stanfield who drove up in Roberson's Ford and went direct to the bank. The Dartier car was already there, coni talning Janet Stanfield and Roberson, wearing a gray Homburg bat and a linen duster. The chauffeur brought into the store a small order which the grocer's assistant packed and took out. The chauffeur was taking advantage of the delay to fill up with petrol. The moment Stanfield descended from the Ford and made his way to the bank. Roberson slipped off his linen duster, produced a Panama hat which he pulled over his eyes, ana made his purchases in the shop. He came out _u*t as Stanfield reappeared, and drove the Ford away. Stanfield just stepped into the Dartier, put on his linen duster and gray Homburg hat. and of? they started. The idea was to confuse, and at first it suc- ] ceeded. The whole affair was ngenious, from the selection of that particular bank, which is wickedly isolated. to the exact location of the Dartier oar, which made any one on the ofl-elde almost invisible.” “It’s pretty generous of you to let me take the credit of this,” Rim- | mington remarked. “If Stanfield turns out to be Pugsleyv and Pugsley the man I believe i him to be,” I said, “I shall need no other reward than the joy of having : brought him to book.” “Do you believe him to be Michael Sayers?” Rimmington asked. “I am absolutely certain of it,” I answered. We completed our round, lunched ; and played again. There came no ; sign from the Lodge. Somehow or j other, the silence seemed to me omii nous. Toward evening I began to get uneasy. Just as we were sitting down to dinner, l was fetched to the telephone. “Inspector McCall speaking." the voice I heard declared. “Are you Sir Norman Greyes?” “Yes,” I answered. “Have you heard the news?" 0 “I have heard no particular news since early this morning,” I replied. “Stanfield escaped eleven miles from here,” the Inspector declare? gloomily. “F.scaped? Ridiculous:” I exclaimed, i “He did it, anyhow. He shot both ; his guards with an automatic pistol j fixed in the sole of one shoe and worked with the toe of the other. Mr, Gorman, from Scotland .Yard, is seriously wounded and one of the others is shot in the leg. Stanfield tliea threatened the driver until he released him from the handcuffs and took him to within a mile of a railway station There he tied the man up. drove the car on himself and disappeared. So far we have no news.”

1 eould make no intelligible reply. I muttered something to the effect that Rimmington and I would come on to the police station the first thing in the morning. Then I walked* outside. a little giddy, sick at heart, furious with myself and Fate. I stood looking toward the Lodge until at last I yielded to an irresistible impulse. I hastened across the few yards of heather-grown common, crossed the rog.d, made my way up the straggling avenue and rang the great front door bell. Presently the huge door swung silently open. Janet stood there, looking out at me. I freely admit that I lost my nerve. I lost my poise and with it all the gifts which enable a man to face an exceptional situation. For this woman showed no signs of any mental disturbance. t had never seen her look more beautiful. She moved away from the door. “Come in,” she invited. “I have been expecting you." Out footsteps awakened strange echoes in the hall. She led the way Into the sitting room which opened onto the terrace, and sank hack on the divan, where apparently she had been resting. "Judas!" she murmured. “You know, then?" I demanded harshly. "Everything—even the last little episrftie. What fools you policemen are!” "He isn’t safe yet," I muttered. She laughed mockingly. “I worry no more about him,” she declared. "It is not an equal struggle. I worry only about myself, alone here.” "Alone—herel’T echoed. Fhe nodded. "Harding, our butler-chauffeur and confederate, has taken the car—where you can guess. Our gillie broke his leg this morning and has gone to hospital. I am not afraid of burglars, but I am terrified of mice, and the place is overrun with them. Also I simply loathe the idea of having to get up and make my own coffee in the morning.’’ I rose to my feet. “There are empty rooms at’ the Dormy House,” I told her, “where you could obtain service and be made quite comfortable. I am going back now. Shall I bespeak one for you?" “You would really have me there,” she asked curiously, “under the same roof as your august and respectable self?” “Why not?” “The wife of a famous criminal,” she reminded me. “the wife f the man whom you have betrayed! You and I have a secret too. but we? Would you vouch for my—respectability?” • I moved a step toward her. Her eyes were filled with a mingled light, a light of allurement and cruelty. Her lips were moist and quivering—was it with anger? A long bare arm was withdrawn from ehind her head * * * Then a voice fell upon the throbbing silence like a douche of cold water. “Hands up—like lightning!'’ I obeyed. I recognized Ibe voice of the mar in Harding’s livery. It was Stanfiekl, who had crept in upon us unhea.-fl "A Mixture of Lothario and In-

The woman stepped between u% “Don’t be absurd!” she said to the newcomer. “We couldn’t afford to part with Sir Norman. Life would be too dull without him. Put him on parole.

was obvious from his dejection that he, too, had heard from McCall. “What do you think about taking a look about there?” he suggested. “Quite useless,” I replied tersely. “Let’s have a game of billiards and try and forget the whole damned business.” “The Honor of M.
