Val Glelxud A LESSON IN DISCIPLINE

As i! in reply the door opened- {lid Larrimore stood there in the doorway. An expression of be- wiiderment ori his face was retrieved by an exceedingly unpleasant Flume,“ g5 he gradually appre- ciated scene and sequence.

Carol saw his fists clenchlnS md hurried to Intervene lest worse belall. "it's all rlsht. Ru- pqi-t, w; were only playini the

ti" "twat," lLld. Lai-rlmore slowly, “is more than obvious. Bothefll. put that siphon downl"

"We're all feeling tlie strain a trifle," said the Professor quickly.

Larrlmoro disregarded the at- tempts at. mediation completely His eyes remained ftted on Sotherii, who stood, holding the siphon and tumblei, breathing heavily through 1 his nose.

I "Put down that siphon!" repeat- ed Larrimore. l "Certainly," said sothern.

With a smgle quick movement , no lifted the glass to his lips, anti l poured the contents dﬂWll his throat. Then he held out the szli- hon to LAFHXHOIE. .

"I think." he said, ‘that Ive call- ed your bluff. I should be lire “ted w knmv just ivllni you i pose to do about i'?“

Larrimores reply was to take one half pace forward and let drive at Sotlterirs JQW “ltll. h.s right fist. The movement was so swift, so admirably co-ordinated. that the onlookers hardly saw ii, They became aware of siphon anti glass flying in ciifierent directions: of Sothrrns body trrnslilng to llie floor; of Larrimore turning back into the cockpit to gel. ills c031. And none of the three felt inclin- ed to move, Another fat-ct of lea‘.- lty had been turned upon thvni at close quarters. And each one of them felt instinctively‘ that the consequences of that blow might b0 almost infinite .

At last Janet Manson stooped over Sothern. As she did so the YULLHE man grtlmed painfully, felt the angle of his jaw with shaking fingers. and heaved himself on to one elbow.

"I congratulate you on your pro- fessional efficiency," he said in a low voice, with a deadly look at Larrimore.

Isarrimore was pultlns 0n coat.

"I don't find disregard of my or- ders amusing," was all he said.

"I‘m not used to being given or- ders." said Sothern. and got to his feet, disregarding Janet Mansods

his

offered arm. “Evidently? replied Lairin-lore pleasantly. “so you've got to learn.

And I've only time for the quickest sort of lemon.“ snlhei-n swayed a little on his

feet, “You'd better make up your mind." he said, "to the fact. that I've no intention, speaking for

myself, of taking any orders from yout"

“At the moment," said Larrl- more, “I've more important things to discuss with all of you. I've shown you what lvlll happen if you disobey. I‘ll only say now that next time I shall hit quite a good deal harder."

Carol winced. She lcnew Rupert was in the right. She admired - ln a way-the ruthless competence of what ho had done. But its violence shocked her for all that: particularly applied to Tony, who was about as fit as a child to stand up to a bout. of fistlcuffs. Anti Ru- pert hadrft even given him time to put up his hands .

"Rupert," she said shyly, "don't you think we might all have one little drink and cool off?"

Hubert Manson hastened to sec- ond the suggestion. but Lam- mom's expression did not. change.

“I want you all to sit. down,“ he said. “I've done all I can with the wireless, and it's riot u. bit 0t use. I've sdhtcthlng important to explain, arid it may take a little

me."

WHO IS T0 G0?

There was something about Ru- pert Larrimore at that moment — a calm self-possession which, af- ter his recent display of naked violence, had ahout it a quality de- finitely terrifylntr. The others found themselves Rlllrimallffillly obeying his suggestion to sit down, -- almost as if he had been a. master, and they once more at school. All except Antony Sothcrn. He leaned against one of the win- dows of the cabin, one hand press- ed l0 his bruised Jaw, his eyes very firmly fixed on Larrimore, al- most as though he was expecting another attack, and a singular ex. presslon on his face.
