BUNDLE WONDERS

There was .110 doubt that Super- Aintendent Battlewss taken aback. He fingered his chin thoughtfully.

“Sir Oswald is right, Battle," said George. “This is the man. Any hope o1 catching him?" '

“There may be, sir. It certainly looks well, suspicious. Of course,‘ the man may turn up again—at chim- neys, I mean."

"Do you think it likely?"

"No, it isn't confessed Battle. "Yes, it certainly looks as though Bauer were the man. But I can't quite sec how he got in and out of these grounds unobserved."

"I have already told you my opin- ion of the'men you posted," said George. "Hopelessly inemcient — I don't want. to blame you Shperin- tcndent, but——" His pnusc was elo- quent.

“Ah, well," said Battle lightly, “my shoulders are broad."

He shook his hcad and sighed.

"I must get to the telephone at once. Excuse me, gentlemen. I'm

sorry, Mr. Lomax-I feel I've rather bungled this business. But it's been puzzling, more puzzling than you know."

He st:odc hurriedly from the room.

“Come into the garden,"'said Bun- dl to Jimmy. "I want to talk to you."

They went out together through the window. Jimmy stared down at, the lawn; frowning ‘

"What's the matter?" asked sunU dle.

Jimmy explained the circumstances of the pistol throwing.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN

"I'm wondering," he ended, "what was in old Battle's mind when he got Coote to throw the pistol. Something. I'll swear. Anyhow, it landed up about ten yards farther than it should have done. You know, Bundle, Battle's a deep one."

"He's an extraordinary mun," said Bundle. “I want to tell you about last night.

She retsiled her conversation with the superintendent. Jimmy listened attentively.

He climbs up into O'Rourke‘s room, knowing that O'Rourke has had a sleeping draft administered in him—by the Coun- tess somehow or other. 'I‘herc ar- rangementls that he is to throw down the papers to the Countess, who will be waiting below. Then she'll nip back through the library and up to her room. If Issuer's caught leaving the grounds, they'll find nothing on him. Yes, it was a. good plum-but it wcnt wrong.

"He won't hear ' I word lIllnst her," said Bundle. "He's-oh, simply Jdlotic. I wish you'd drive it home i to him about that mole." ‘ "You forget I wasn't in the cup- board." said Jimmy. "And anyway." I'd rather not argue with Bill about his lady friend's mole. But surely he can't be such an ass as not to sec that everything fits in?"

, . FOREIGN ADVENTURESSES

"He's every kind of ass," slid Bundle bitterly. "You made the greatest mistake. Jimmy, in everlell- ing him at all." '

"I'm sorry," said Jimmy. "I didn't see it at the time-but I do now. I was a fool. but dash it all, old Bill "You know'what foreign adven- turesses are," said Bundle. "How they get hold of one."

As matter of fact. I don't," said Jimmy. "One has never tried to get hold of me." Andhe sighed.

For a moment or two there was silence. Jimmy was turning things over in his mind. The more he though aboutlthem, the more un- satisfactory they seemed. _~

"You say that Battle wants the Countess let alone." he said at last.

"Yes." »

“The idea being that through he he will get at some one else?"

Bundle nodded. ,

Jimmy frowned deeply as he tried to see where this led. Clearly Battle ‘had some very definite idea in his mind. ' '

"Sir Stanley Digby went up to town early this morning, didn't he?" Jhc sold. . »

"Yes."

"O'Rourke with him?"

"Yes, I think so.‘

“You don't think-no. that's lrn- possible?" '

"what?"

"That O'Rourke can be mixed up in this in any way?’ v

"It's possible,‘ said Bundle thought- fully. “He's got what one calls a very vivid personality. No, it wouldn't sur- prise 'mc if—oh, to tell the truth nothing would surprise mcl In fact there's only one person I'm really sure isn't No. 7."

"Who's that?"

"Superintendent Battle.’

"Oh! I thought youwere going in say George mmax.’

"Ssh, here he comes.’ ~

George was, indeed, bearing do upon them in an unmistakable man- ner. Jimmy made < an excuse and slipped sway. George sat down by Bundle. _ ‘

"My dear Eileen, must you really leave us?" V

"well, father seems to have got the wind up rather badly. I think I'd better go homo and hold his hand."

"Too well," said Bundle decided- 1y. "Eh?" said Jimmy surprised. "What about No. 7 — No. 7. who never appears, but lives in the back- ground. The Countess and Bauer? No, it's not so simple as that. Bauer was here last night, yes. But he was only here in case things went wrong —a.s they have done. His part is the port of scrapegoat; to draw all atten- tion from No. 'l—thc bum."

"I say, Bundle." said Jimmy anx- iously. “you haven't been reading too much sensational literature, have you?"

Bundle threw him a glance of dig- niﬁed reproach.

"Well," said Jimmy. "I'm not yet like the Red Queen. I can't believe six impossible thing before break- fast." . "It's after breakfast," said Bun- die.

This awful prospect knocked Bundle out completely. She could only stare helplessly at George. This did not disco a“ hlm—-on the con- trary. His main objection to women was that they talked too much. It was seldom that he found what he considered a really good listener. He smiled benlgnsntly at Bundle.

"'.i‘he butterfly emering from the chrysslls. A wonderful picture. I have s very interesting work on political economy. I will look it out now, and you can tak'e it to Chim- neys with you.

He strode sway. Bundle gazed af- ter him with a dazed expression. She

was roused by the unexpected advent of Bill.

"Look herel’. laid Bill, "what the hell was coddm holding your hand for?"

"Ipwasnt my hand," said Bundle wildly. "It was my buddingmlnd."

"So he does," said Bill. "It's fright- fully hard to escape from Codders once he's got hiterested in you. Jhnmy will be caught in the toils be- fore he knows whcre he is."

"Of course you do. So do all sen- sible people. It's only people like Codders and Pongo who take them seriously and revel in them. But all the came," said Bill, reverting sud- denly to a former point. "you oughtn't to let Codders hold your hand."

"Why on earth not?" said Bundle, "He's known me sll my life."

"Well, I don't like it."

“Virtuous wuutm~ on. r say, , look at Superintendent Battle." _

They were just passing in through a, side door. A cupboard-like room opened out of the little hallway. In it were kept golf‘ clubs, tennis racquets, bowls and other features of country house life. Superintendent Battle was conducting a minute ex- amination of various golf clubs. He looked up a little sheepishly at Bun- dleﬁs exclamation.

“Going to tskc up golf, Superin- tendent Battle?"

"I might do worse," Indy Eileen. They say it's never too late to start.

And I've got one‘ good quality that _

willtell at any game."

“What's that?" asked Blllf ,

"I don't know when ‘I'm beaten.’ If everything goes wrong, I turntu and start again!" r

And with a determined look on his face. Superintendent Battle came out and joined them, shutting the door behind. him.
