Somewhere between that point and 50th street she would receive a note or an oral message telling her where to go. All the while she would be under the closet kind of surveil- lance by Dr. Monet's agents. If any one should attempt to follow her at a discreet distance or communicate with her along the route, Dr. Moffets spies would know it.

That might have made her self-conscious and distrait, and the spies would have been quiclcto. ‘notice her state of mind: - a

As for her destination, he could make a fairly accuraie surmise as to that. In his mind was a. picture of a house just across the Connecticut border, sheltered by a. tall picket fences and dense clumps of trees, giv- ing the eye an impression of an aban- doned and dilapidated estate. A gloomy place. ii; was, looking a little sinister at night in its chill and dreary aloofness.

This was the house lo which he had trailed the car on the night of the Mummer‘s frolic. He had spent the next day reconnolierlng the im- ,‘mcdiate environs. but without ap- iproaching very close to the house it- ,self. | It seemed almost certain that, this lwas the house to which Miss Castle was to be directed. but he could not be quite positive. Having dispatched her on a. hazardous adventure, he could not gamble with her safety. And so he had conceived the idea. of remaining with her, almost within arm‘s reach, from star’. to finish.

It promised to be an eventful-night in the Picaroonh career. He tingled with surpressed excitement as he stepped from the taxi, too preoccupied to notice that another vehicle had drawn up just a few paces to the rear, and that its sols occupant gave

told her that one of the reasons for not wishing to be seen, was that he had the ugliest face in creation. Dale, inow moving towards Mr. Castle table. ‘wondered whether there could be an-

iother face in all the world as ugly as

the one he had just seen. _

His brain reeled a little. The vast room seemed to resolve itself into a triangle, with Mr. Castle at. one point, Mr. Ferryman at another, and the man with the unsighily face at the third. It struckhim as an odd conjunction of personalities. Was it just by chance that they were all here?‘ ' His face bore no sign of his mental agitation when he stopped at Mr. Castleis table. .

"How is the mysterious Mr. Graves ihls evening?" he asked in an under- tone as he slipped into the vacant seat.

The older man started violently and stared in a terriffisd way at his un- bidden companion. . Don't alarm yourself, Mr. Castle," said Dale quickly. "I am here as a friend." v

Virgil Ellsworth Castle sat back and continued to stare-His face was ashen. His jaw had become a quiver- ing lump. Slowly he recovered a. little composure. Despite the siartling greeting, there was something about the other man that inspired confi- dence.

Dale consulted his card and gave his order. Then his glance wandered over the restaurant for a- moment. Mr. Ferryman was gone, but the man with the ugly face was still at his table. HQ seemed to send a covert glance in Dale's direction. .

"Mr. Castle," he murmureddn a discreetly lolveredtone," my name f5 Martin Dale. I know you are the mysterious Mr. Graves. I also know that Dr. Moffet is threatening you.

He had driven another spike into Dr. Monet's big gun. had anticipated ‘an emergency that might not devleop, but he wished to be prepared against every possible chance. Even if Dr. Mofletks plan should succeed up to a certain point,- he would be thrown in confusion by his lnabiliiy to communicate with his victim. '

Dale lingered a long time over coffee and cigarette. He had seen a number of strange things since he entered the restaurant, and he was turning several new ideas over in his mind. But these developments would not affect his plans for the night.

Afterward, in a telephone booth across the street he called up Miss Casde and gave her a few final in- structions. Out on the street again, he stood at the curb and lighted a cigarette. and as he did so he looked about him with a. faintly bewildered air. Something seemed to flash a warning to his brain. but he could not trace it to its source. The by- standers and pedestrians looked harm less.

Yet, just to play safe, he started a series of maneuvers designed to throw a. shadow of his trail. The sharp twists, convuiutlons and detours occupied the better part of an hour, He stopped now and loobed about. him again, and now the nagging and elus- ive impression of stealthy espionage was gone. He looked at his watch. 1f Would Soon be time to go back to the garage and claim the car.
