Mahony ts at the ball to help Elsa if he can, Chapter Five STICK-UP T was evident that there was going to be action shortly He made his way to entrance number three. A short distance from the entrance two black-clad monks were lounging. “Blast!” said Mahony briefly. He realized that he was in the wrong costume. He burried to the men’s cloak-room, changed his cos tume about, and returned as quickly as he could to entrance number three. During his absence the black-clad monks had been joined by another monk dressed in dark-brown. He hung about near them. By this time the gaiety had reached its highest pitch; everyone was noisy and excited. A thousand peo- ple were enjoying themselves irre- sponsibly and a little drunkenly, not caring what anybody thought of them or how much row they kicked “Stick up your hai As the floor emptied, Mahony caught sight of Elsa and the Charles the Second coming towards the exit. When she was nearing the exit, the monk in brown stepped forward. The black monks drew closer together. as if preparing for action. “Hail! Queen of Hearts!” ex- claimed the brown monk in a ioud. jovial voice. “Let us salute her, brothers.” He made a flamboyant gesture with his right hand. beckoning the black-clad monks. Laughing loudly, they ran forward, surrounding Elsa. Mahony went with them. It was his intention to stay with those monks as long as he could, and find out what they meant to do. “Form & circle,” commanded the brown monk. “Dance, brothers, dance.” HE masked figures joined hands, EB ing.a circle, and began to iy round Elsa and the B the Second. It all looked per- Natural and harmless, merely @ rag by a small party of people oc- ,@upying a small space on the big ;foor, Elsa stood in the middle ot the céircle, laughing; the sight of those v@alemn figures capering round her ‘amused her. “Let's take her to the monastery, brothers,” shouted the brown monk suddenly, He plunged into the middle of the circle, picked up Elsa's light figure easily in his arms, and began to carry her towards one of the exits. “Make way for the Queen of Hearts,” he shouted. Laughing and shouting, the other monks crowded round him. clearing @ way through the throng. Nobody nie | Society | eocccccccccoce THE KEY WEST.

Under his robe, his band was clenched on the butt of his pistol; ne was ready for anything that might happen. Noth- ing happened except that the car started, “That went off all right,” observed the brown monk in a tone of hearty satisfaction. “1 pushed the needle into her as | picked her up; she nard- ly moved at all. Now don’t forget your instructions. As soon as we've delivered her, we get back into our Arab make-up and return to the Hall at once. Nobody will have missed us during the short time we shal! be away, and when it’s discovered that she’s not there, somebody who's still fairly sober is sure to remember that she was carried off by a party of monks. A pretty scheme. I have to hand it to Mulgrave; he eertainly is a neat schemer.” “Yes, if he thought of ft himself,” obsérved another monk. “He erob- ably got his orders typed in red on a sheet of blue paper with a number at the top.” “Well, whoever gave the orders, we did the job,” said the brown monk. “And a very neat job we made of it. All we have to do now is to nds, all of you!” hand her over and get back to\the Hall.” Mahony sat silent. saying nothing. He did not feel in the slightest de. gree neryous, Nor did the fact that he might have to shoot one or two of these men trouble him at all. It did not seem to occur to any of them to question Mahony’s presence among them. HE drive did not last very long. After twenty minutes they turned off the main roadway and drew up inside a small timber-yard off a side street in Hounslow. Another ear was drawn up inside the yard. In an office on the hight-hand side of the yard a light was shining. A man emerged from the office and came up to the car. “Okay?” he asked. “Okay,” replied the brown monk. “We got her all right. Where do you want her?” “Put her in the other car,” replied the man. “Then go into the office and change your costumes round.” “We'd better get ont first,” said one of the monks. “Then we can get her out more easily.” They all stepped out of the car, Mahony last. “It’s been a nice party,” he said, “But it’s over now. Stick your bands up, all of you!” From under his robe his hand came out, holding his pistol. There was a moment's stupefied si- lence. Then the brown monk spoke. “What the ... And who the blaz- ing hell are you? | wondered why in an astonished tone. “Where the devil do you come from, and wha! attempted to interfere; it was still 80 obviously merely a harmless rag by a small party of trresponsibles. And Elsa did not seem to mind much. One effort she made to escape from her captors’ arms; then she remained quiet and ceased to strug- gle. Shouting and singing, the party surged along a passage, crossed the vestibule, and went ont by the main doorway of the ball into the street outside. A short distance away a big car was waiting witb its engine run- zing, and they made for it. The brown monk thrust Elsa into the your game? I thought the Chief must have sent another man at the last moment.” “You shouldn’t think,” said Ma- hony. “It’s a bad habit. Now just step back a bit, please.” “Half a moment. |. . .” began the | brown monk. He broke off suddenly, uttered a startled exclamation, and pointed toward the back of the yard over Mahony’s shoulder. (Copyright, 2936. Hugh.
