I-—damn it—I can see it out there in the black of the road now!” The Frenchman remained silent. Runnells spoke again after moment. “He's a rare 'un, all right, he is, is the captain,” he said slowly, “but it wasn't him that did in Sir Harris Greaves. I'd take my oath on that. We w both in bed by 12, as 1 told you, and he was still sleeping like a babe when I got up in the morning’ “And you, Runnells,” inquired the Frenchman softly, “you too slept ou mean,” said Runnells quickly. “that he slipped out again during the night 2" Not at all!” said Paul Cremarre quietly. “How should I know?

The lodge gates can't be more than a quarter of a mile on, and the bit of lane that | borders the park ought to be just about here—yes, there it is!” Runnells pped the motor, and then. with the engine running softly, backed it for a short distance from the main road down an intensely black, tree-lined lane. ‘That's far enough,” said Paul Cremarre. “We can’t take any risk of being heard from the hall.

They're all in bed, aren’t they?” “That is not for me to say, "' re- plied the Frenchman calmly. “We will wait, Runnells.” Runnells, with another grunt, sat down on one of the bags, his back against a tree. The Frenchman re- mained standing, his eves glued on the great house across the lawn. “Aye,” said Runnells after a mo- ment, and chuckled savagely to him- self again, “I'd give a bob or two, I would, to see the old boy in the morning!

From an upper window, out of the blackness of the building across the lawn, there showed a faint spot of light that held for a few seconds— and then, in quick succession, a series of 'ittle flashes came from the room within. The two men stood motionless, in- tent, staring at the window. The flashes ceased. The Frenchman reached out and lald his hand on Runnells’ arm. “No net for a repeat,” he quickly. You got it, didn’t you My word!” exclaimed Runnells. “Two guards — butler’s pantry —all clear! Strike me pink!” The Frenchman laughed purringly under his breath. “Did I not say he was incom- parable? me on, then, Runnells— quickly ” And now “More perhaps than Lee the it was as though two It|, THE EVENING By Frank L.

Finish your Job—but don’t make a sound.” There was a sudden, viclous snarl.in his whisper. “Pull that hat of yours down over your eyes. I'll answer the door, as you English say!"” He moved back along the pantry with the noiseless tread of a cat, and took up his position against the wall at the edge of the closed door. From his pocket he drew a revolver. It was quite black, quite silent now— save for, the approaching footsteps. Perhaps a minute passed. And then the door opened, and a light went: on. A gray-whiskered little man in a dressing gown, with bare feet thrust into slippers, stood on the threshold. He cast startled eyes on a crouching figure in the center of the pantry, the telltale traveling bags, the gaping treasure chest, and wrenched a revolver from the pocket of his dressing gown. But the Frenchman, reaching out, struck from the edge of the doorway. The revolver sailed ceilingward from the other's d, and exploded in mid- air. And coincidently the French- man struck again—with the butt of his own weapon—and the man went limply to the floor. Runnells came staggering forward shadows moved, flitting swiftly And here they crouched be- “Don’t be delicate about it, Run- nells. This isn't any inside job! “That’s what I'm doing,” said Run- “Two he muttered. And again, “Strike me pink!” And after a moment, with both The two men entered, and closed An suddenly torch stabbed “’Tain’t changed a bit, as I sald commented They went on quickly. But where And then, as they halted finally, and the torch shot out its ray with a low, catchy, whistling sougpd. The torch disclosed a narrow serv- ing pantry, and, on the floor at one side, a great metal box or chest—ob~ viously the object of their visit, But Runnells for the moment was ap- parently not interested in the chest. “Look at that!” he breathed upturned foot protruded. The Frenchman set his bags down beside the metal chest, moved swift- ly forward, pushed the swinging door open, and stepped silently through into what was obviously the dining room. And Runnells, beside him, whispered hoarsely again, but this time with a sort of amazed ad- miration in his voice. “Gawd!” said Runnells. 1 calls that! Neat! What?" Two men lay upon the floor, gagged, bound and apparently un- conscious. One, from his livery, was a servant in the house; the other was in_civilian clothes. Paul Cremarre the latter. “The man that came out from London with the box from the bank,” he observed complacently. He pushed Runnells back through the swinging door into the pantry. “Well, my Runnells, you were grumbling over a few minutes’ delay, let us see if we can be equally as expeditious and | efficient with infinitely less to do.” He reached the chest and examined it. “Padlocks, eh? Let me see if I can persuade them?” He bent over the chest, and from his pocket came a little kit of tools. Runnells stood silently by. There ‘was no sound now save the breathing of the two men, and, as the minutes passed, an occasional faint, metallic rasp and click from Paul Crengarre at work. And then the Frenchman flung back the lid, and straightened up. “Quick now, Runnells—to work!” | he said briskly. “Peres Mouche is waliting for his ragout!” “My eye!” said Runnells with en- thusiasm, as the electric torch bored into the Interior of the box. “Pipe it! I've served with the swells, 1 have, and Lord Seeton was one of the biggest of ’em, but I never saw the likes of this belore Gold plate to eat off of! My eye!” “They are very beaull!ul," said the Frenchman judiclously; “but it would be a sacrilege against art to appraise them in haste and in a poor light. Work quickly, Runnells! And do not fill any one of the bags too full. You will find it heavy. The four will hold it all comfortably.” “Gawd!"” said Runnells eagerly, as he bent to his task. Neat, pointed to that I couldn’t tumble Runnells. “A rare tat he]l be in i Tl’ele Frenchman sald nothing. The minutes dragged along. Run- nells, too, had relapsed into sflence. A quarter of an hour passed. Then Runnells commenced to mutter under his breath and move restlessly on his improvised seat and then, getting up suddenly, he moved cloge over The men worked swiftly now, without words transferring the Earl of Cloverley’s priceless service of £0ld plate to the four traveling bags. The Frenchman, the quicker of the two, completed his task first, and locked his two bags. And then sud- denly he touched Runnells on the shoulder. “Listen!” he whispered. “What's that?” beside the Frenchman. “I say!” whixpered Runnells un- easily. *“I don’t Jike this, T don't!

(Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) GRADE ELIMINATION TESTS ARE APPEALED Supreme Court to Decide on Valid- ity of .State’s Order for Crossing Removal. The Supreme Court, having recently held that persons who crossed rail- road tracks did so at their own risk, has been asked to declde how far States can go in eliminating grade crossings. The question reached the court in two appeals granted by New York State courts to the Staten 1sland Rapid Transit Railway to test out the validity of the Transit Commission’s order in 1925 for the elimination of grade crossings over fts tracks' at Belair road, Hope and Tomkins ave- nues, Fort Wadsworth. ‘The rallway in {its appeals con- tended that the order deprived it of its constituticnal rights by taking its property without due process of law and challenged the right of a Siate to regulate grade crossings of interstate carriers, assertinz that such power had been placed by Congress in the Interstate _ommerce Coinmission. SRR SPAIN ATTACKS CLAIMS OF “LOUIS DE BOURBON” Nation Denies Man Traveling in Europe Is Half-Brother of King Ajfon;o. By the Assoclated Press. The State Department formally an- nounced that the Spanish Ambassador had called 1ts attention to an individual now traveling in Europe under the name of “Louls de Bourbon” and “who hold himself out as a half. brother of the present King of Spain. “The Spanish Ambassador protests against the pretention of this man to membership in the Spanish royal deceived unwary persons and has had unpleasant and injurious effects,” the announcement said. “The records show that this man was born in Rumania, entered this country in 1914 under the name of Constantine Glicky, was naturalized as a citizen of the United States under the name of Maurice Marcell. and later on, by the decree of a New York court, had his name changed to ‘Don Louis de Bourbon.”” ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE.

She charges misconduct with a wom- an, now deceased, and with a “war- w:srker of 1922, not destgnated other- wise.
