On the way to the aerodrome he stopped twice after a block in the traffic to make quite sure that the pursuer should have no chance of losing him, and, by the time they were clear of the traffic and =pinning toward their destination, the gentlemen in the car behin 1y agreed with Darrell. el i At first he had expected some trick, being a person of tortuous brain: but as time went on, and nothing umex- pected happened, he became reas- sured. His ordrs were to follow the millionaire, and inform headquarters where he was taken to. And ly at the moment it seemed easy money. In fact, he even went so far as to hum gentiy to himself, after he had put a hand in his pocket to make sure his automatic revolver was still there. Then, quite suddenly, the hummin, stopped and he frowned. The car l: front had swung off the road and turned through the entrance of a small aerodrome. It was a complica- tion which had not entered his mind, and with a curse he pulled up his car just short of the gates. What the devil was he to do now? Most as- suredly he could not pursue an air- plane “on a motor—even a racer. Blindly, without thinking, he did the first thing that came into his head. He left his car standing where it was, and followed the others into the aero- drome on foot. Perhaps he could find out omething from one of the me- chanics; some one might be able to tell him where the plane was going. There she was with the car beside her. and already the millionaire was being strapped into his seat. Drum- mond was talking to the pilot, and the sleuth, full of eagerne: accosted a passing mechanic. you tell me where that atrplane i Boing t0?" he as'rd, ingratiatingly. It was perhaps uifortunate that the said mechanic had just had a large spanner dropped on his toe, and his answer was not helpful. It was an education in one way, and at any other time the pursuer would have treated it with the respect it deserved. But, as it was, it was not of great value. which made it the more unfor- tunate that Peter Darrell should have chosen that moment to look round. And all he saw was the mechanic talking earnestly to the sleuth. Whereupon Drummond. . . ., In thinking it over after, that un- happy man, whose job had seemed so easy, found it difficult to say exactly what happened. All of a sudden he found himself surrounded by people— all very affable and most conversa- tional. "It took him quite five minutes to get back to his car, and by that time the plane was a speck in the west. Drummond was standing by the gates when he got there, with a look of profound surprise on his face. “One 1 have seen often.” remarked the soldier; “two "sometimes; three rarely; four ever. Fancy four punc- ;urep—nlll ltlt'he same time! Dear, ear! positively insist on you a Ift.” X e He felt himself frresistibly Ted toward Drummond's car, w‘.'z'fi’i..ny time for a fleeting glimpse at his own four flat tires, and almost before he realized it they were away. After a few minutes, when he had recovered from his surprise, his hand went in- stinctively to his pocket, to find the irevolver had gone. And it was then he “talked earnestly ‘to that the man he had thought mad | | laughed gently. | “Didn't know I was once a pick- | pocket. did vo he remarked bIv. “A handy little gun, too. 1Is it il right.
