Drummond laughed. “The first time I met Mr. Potts,” he remarked, “that swell Frenchman was just preparing to put a thumbscrew on his second thumb.” “Second?” The detective looked up quickly. “The first had been treated earlier in the evening,’ answered Drum- mond quietly “It was then. that I removed your millionaire pal.” The other lit his cigar dcliberately. ay, captain,’ he murmured, ‘‘you ain't pulling my les by any chance. are you?" “I ‘am not.” said Drummond short- y. was told, before I met him, that the gentleman over there was one of the boys. . . .
