It was raining steadily when Crispln started for home. but Mend had made hira take a big oilskin; his clothes Pad been dried and a good meal with two cubs of stxong tea Iiad given him back hlsstrength.

“Vou. Cripsln! Thank goodness. you're back. Al‘son and I have been properly scared."

"Alison?"

"Yes. she's here. Things have been happening. She'll tell you. Let me take that beast of yours. I suppose the car's bust."

As Crispin stepped into lire house there viras Alison. Her cheeks poled as she saw the bandage round his head. ~

"You've hurt, Crlspin." _ “Nothing to make n. song about. dearest. Rlesllv n trifle. I'm so wet and dirty I can't kiss you. I'll run up and change, then want m hear what's been happening. Dick says there have been doln ."

Once in his room. Crispln chang- ed in record time. Coming down he found Alison in me dining-room; she had Just brought in some hot soup. She looked at him anxiously.

"Was it. the car?" she asked.

"I think it was Rufus," Crlspm answered. "But first tell me what brlnss you here-I've had supper" he added.

"You'll take this soup first," said Alison firmly. Crlspln chuckled.

"You're starting rght, my dear," he said. and sat down meekly. Dick came in and, vilrile Crlspln absoro- ed his soup, Alison told him of her siepfntherls visit to Plymouth and of the robbery of the gold.

“We're almost certain it was Rufus." she ended. "We know he went to Plymouth by the noon train." Crispin looked throughful.

"In that case it's somebody else I have to thank for trying to murder me," he remarked. Alison palcd again.

"’l‘r'ed to murder youl" ilte re-

"It‘s all right, darling. I-Ie didn't succeed-as you can see for your- self, I'll tell you all about it."

"Aison is right." Dick cut in. "It's not only the smack on the Jaw. Crispzn. Spinner and Moat both think that we are Government Agents and going to interfere with their smussims." He paused, then went on. “Question is. what do we do next? It seems to me this busi- ness of the gold is most urgent. Rufus has got it. Can we get it back from liim?"

"Not a hope," raid Cfispill. "He'll sell it at once to pi; his debts."

"He can't sell it ligrc," Dick de- clared. “True, time might be someone in Plymouth who'd buy it, blt the risks are too great. He'll have to go to London."

“He's probably on his way there already." Qrispin said.

"That would turn suspicion on him at once and lie knows it. I'm almost sure he won't g0 to Lon- don." Alison shrewdly suggested.

“Then what will lie do?" Crlspin

ked.

‘ ‘I think,’ Alison answered. "that he will get someone else to sell it for him. And it seems to Inf‘ the natural person would be Spinner." The two men looked at one 1m- other. Dick brought his fist down on the table with a thump.

"She's right, Crispln. Trust woman's intuition. She's right."

CHAPTER XXIV DICK GOES SCOUTING

Crispin and Alison were to go to Plymoufii in Dick's car, starting very early and keeping off the main road. They were to see Burt. find out what he knew and. if he was fit enough, bring him home. Dick would take Crispin’s piizvcle and go in Brest where he would hide out and watch the house. If Rufus came out Dick would tiy to follow him and, If possible, send word to Roseworthy as to xviirrs tie had gone,

Crispin and Alison would get, back as soon as possible from Ply- mouth, and Crispin would be rcadv to help Dick ii’ help was waiitczl It was decider! not to inform the police, but Dick WYIS to post a man in Newton SUP-m to see if Rufus took a train. This man. W110 was a cous‘n of Joe Chowne, would ring up Roseworthy if he saw Rufus

Rufus was no early riser so Dick walled until the others had left b2- fore starting. Even so. it was barely nine o'clock when he found fum- self lying ttliinri a hedte in ,. simll coppice on rising ground above Gresf.

Actuallv he had barelv an hour t0 ivalt. Then lie saw Rufus COlilL‘ out and go to the garaoc. Dick '.\'- close enough to make cert-fin that Rufus was not carrrinrz anything.
