Take ’em out Wandsworth way—it’s exactly opposite from the direction I shall be taking—and don’t forget to stop off somewhere, so they won’t get to realizing that it's a blind trail. That's all.

Giving them time to get clear of the neighborhood and—if they ne’e lo! lowed—to draw those who were on the watch for him away with them. Mr. Narkom issued orders to the door porter to whistle up a taxi, dived into his dressing room for his hat and coat, and at precisely two minutes to 4 o'clock was ^et down tn the thick of the crowd at Oxford Circus, where he Immediately passed Into the door of a well-known and fashionable shop by the Oxford Street entrance and passed out again by the Regent Street one. There at the curb—lined up with other conveyances and looking as es sentially ' private'' as the best of them —the new limousine waited: and Len- nard, resplendent in a gray livery and a big blond mustache that rested in a table drawer when he went to bed nights, sat like an image in the chauf feur's seat. Vtr. Narkom walked serenely up to the waiting vehicle, entered it, closed the door promptly, issued lhe neces sary directions through the pipe of the speaking tube, and in the winking of an eye there was a gap in the line of vehicles and the dark blue limousine was gone—worming its way through the thick of the traffic until it could cut into an intersecting thoroughfare and And a less crowded path, and then scudding ofT like a hunted hare in the direction of Notting Hill. It whisked through that district at a lively clip: it whizzed down the High Street, leaving Bayswater and Notting Hill Gate to drop away into the rear like the far ends of a moving panorama; It cut past Starch Green and down Uxbridge Road to Shep herds Bush and through that to Chis wick and never stopped until It pulled up at a curious little flower shop at thS entrance to a big nursery, a-gli-- ter with glass houses and ablaze with bloom, in the green and fragrant stretches which lie between Chiswick Park and Trunham Green. An odd and a picturesque place' it w as. this nursery—ow ned and culti vated by a genial, slow-mavuyi. good- tempered old Hollander who could not speak two words of English, his wife who could not speak one and thur daughter, who conducted the little flower shop and Could jabber yards of it with a fine Cockney accent acquii >d at a boarding school and beautifully blended with the burr of her native Dutch. Slid From His Seat. As the limousine halted before the shop over which this accomplished young woman presided a young man, who was seated on the edge of the counter, engaged In the double duty of assisting and ‘'blarneying" her at one and the same time, slid down from his perch, opened the door to ad mit the superintendent and stood re vealed—Dollops, "Out in the gardens, sir,” he con trived to say, so low that no ears but Narkom's heard him. "Old 'uns can't speak a bally word of English nor yet understand cne, and I'm talcin' care of this party as can do both. Any body else cornin’, sir?" il T HOPE 1 am—I pray to God that I I am.
