_ "It mi ht attract attention you'd find par zcularlw unwelcome." said Mitchell equably.

Wolff's delicate features expressed annoyance. With a gesture of 1e- gret he put aside the pistol.

"Perhaps you are right." he said regretfully. He smiled. "Well, gen- e1'al_ here I am. What do you want to do now?"

"First." said Mitchell grimly. "I want Halford. He's aboard this boat somewhere-probably in the little cubby hole you Just stepped out of."

Wolff shrugged. "You have me at a disadvantage, general. I had not --er—anticlpaled the honor of th’s vis.t. Otherwise I might have made -mcre suitable reparations."

“I bet you wou d. you devil," said lvtitchell grimly, “W611 are you go- ing-ats produce Halford or aren't ya“...

"You shall see him," promised Wolff.

It was the sudden glint in the cold grey eyes that wamed Mit- chell of his strategic blunder. Wolff's manner had been disarming; and the pistol had distracted the gen- eral’; attention from a subtler men-

"1 101d YOu I couldn't get the blasted letter you wanted," burst out Halford.

He twisted his head to look at the .chair next to his own. Mitchell sat tin it. and he was secured as tightly as Halford. But his head lolled for- ward on his chest. He was still un- conscious.

Wolff. He pulled out a pocket map and unfolded it. His finger traced a line. Then he nodded britkly. "Yes. There can be no doubt of it. They have gone to Tarbert Harris. to meet Schumann."

“Shall I go after them?" de- mended Huber. He rose. “We could wwyilay the car. It is a lonely r-Oad—" Vltlolff waved him back into his sea .

"No I have a better idea. If Shane is some. now is the time to strike at the house itself."

He ncdded to Huber.

"Get the captain."

When the captain of the 1.111.: entered:

"We leave for the bay off Oar- nach at once." Wolff told hzm, "10- night you must have your men feflfly. They must ta-ke the House of Birdi."

He snuled. “When Shane returns with Schumann. he will be brnging ‘ the traitor lntn a trap. Schumann will get a. surprise when he arrives and f.nds_ waiting to welcome him —Herman Wolff!’
