The captain stared st him again, jerked the instrument to him, ap: plied the ear pieces; .set the cylinder in motion, and fell to listening. Gradually his scofllng looked changed to an intent puzzled expression. I-le made the cylinder repeat. "Queerl" he muttered. Dale cast a sidelong glance' at the

pistol lying in front of the captsin. Summers' expression grew more and more bewildered. His brow knitted, his lips were very tisht. There was sn odd tension in the room, s strsin that communicated itself from Bum- mers to the others.
