Four days later I was summoned to the library, where in breeches and gaiters he was standing astride upon the hearthrug.

You recollect it — The Limes, on the Witham road. Morley will be expecting you. So according to his instructions I duly arrived at the remote house at the hour arranged, and delivered the bag to the old man, who welcomed me and gave me a whisky-and-soda, which I found very acceptable after my long tramp from Maldon station. Recollecting that the old fellow had been in gaol, I was full of curiosity as to what was intended.

• He Knew He Was Right;

I certainly never believed it to be so highly ingenious and dastardly as it eventually proved to be. Naturally he knew little about cars himself, but relied upon my knowledge and judgment. Perhaps she feared that I might tell Lola some of my adventures. As for Rayne, he was often out shooting over neighboring estates, for he was a good shot and highly popular in the neighborhood, while at Overstow itself there was some excellent sport to which now and then he would invite his local friends.

Rayne possessed a marvelous personality. None who met him would have ever dreamed that he was the shrewd, crafty cosmopolitan whose evil machinations and devilish ingenuity made themselves felt in all the capitals of Europe, and whose word was law to certain dangerous characters who would not hesitate to take human life if it were really necessary to evade arrest.

His outstanding cleverness, however, was that he never revealed his own identity to those who actually carried out his devilish schemes. We had finished dinner, and I chanced to be with Rayne in the library, yet longing to get to the old-fashioned drawing-room with its sweet odor of potpourri, where Lola was, I knew, sitting immersed in the latest novel. Why, I thought you were still in Aix-les-Bains! Then, turning to me, he said: I want to speak to Rudolph. I was by that time used to those confidential conversations, and I walked along the corridor and joined Lola.

Father seemed filled with the fiercest anger against him. What can it mean? I replied that it was as mysterious to me as to her. Like herself I lived in a clouded atmosphere of rapidly changing circumstances, mysterious plots and unknown evil deeds — truly a world of fear and bewilderment. Hence I went to the theater, and on returning at midnight awaited him.

His left hand was bound roughly with a colored handkerchief, and he appeared very exhausted. Before speaking he poured himself out a liqueur glass of neat brandy which he swallowed at a single gulp. Only not a soul must know about it — you understand? The papers will be full of it. But mind and keep your mouth shut very tightly. And with that he drew from his pockets a pair of thin surgical rubber gloves, both of which were blood-stained, and hurriedly threw them into the fire.

I rose, and taking it up glanced casually at the front page, when I was confronted by a startling report. The bank robbers had apparently used a most up-to-date oxyacetylene plant for cutting steel, and from the strong-room in the basement — believed to be impregnable and which could only be opened by a time-clock, and, moreover, could be flooded at will — they had cut out the door as butter could be cut with a hot knife. From the safe they had abstracted negotiable bonds with English, French and Italian notes to the value of over eighty thousand pounds, with which the thieves had got clear away.

The bank robbery was the greatest sensation of the moment.

The thieves had cleverly effected an entrance by one of them having secreted himself in a safe in the bank when it had closed.
