"That's

Battle,
as
Mosgorovsky
leaped
up
and
came
round
to
Bundle.

Bundle
sank
down
on

She

and
faint
with
surprise.

quiet.

"You
didnt
expect
to
see
me,
Lady
Eileen.
No,
and
no
more
did
some
of
the
others
sitting
round
this
table.
Rfr.
Mosgorovsky's
been
my
lieutenant
in
a
manner
of
speaking.
He's
been
in
the
know
all
along.
But
most
of
the
others
have
taken
their
orders
blindly
from
him."
Still
Bundle
said
no
word.
She
was
a
most
unusual
state
of
affairs
for
her
simply
incapable
of
speech.'
Battle
nodded
at
her
comprehen-dlngly,
seeming
to
understand
the
state
of
her
feelings.
"You'll
have
to
get
rid
of
one
or
two
preconceived
ideas
of
yours,
I
am
afraid,
Lady
Eileen.
About
this
society,
for
Instance
I
know
it's
common
enough
in
books
a
secret
organization
of
criminals
with
a
mysterious
supercriminal
at
the
head
of
it
whom
no
one
ever
sees.
That
sort
of
thing
may
exist
in
real
life,
but
I
can
only
say
that
I've
never
come
across
anything
of
the
sort,
and
I've
had
a
good
deal
of
experience
one
way
or
another.
"But
there's
a
lot
of
romance
in
the
world,
Lady
Eileen.
People,
especially
young
people,
like
reading
about
such
things,
and
they
like
still
better
really'
doing
them.
I'm
going
to
introduce
you
now
to
a
very
creditable
band
of
amateurs
that
has
done
remarkably
fine
work
for
my
department,
work
that
nobody
else
could
have
done.
If
they
have
chosen
rather
melodramatic
trappings,
well,
why
shouldn't
they?
They-ve
been
willing
to
face
real
danger
danger
of
the
very
worst
kind
and
they've
done
it
for
these
reasoaa:
love
of
danger
for
its
own
sake
which
to
my
mind
Is
a
very
heattlhy
sign
in
these
Safety

days
and
an
honest
wish
to
rvc
their
country.

v
Introductions
"And
now,
Lady
Eileen,
I'm
going
to
introduce
you.
First
of
all,
there's
Mr,
Mosgorovsky,
whom
you
already
know
in
a
manner
of
speaking..
As
you're
aware,
he
runs
the
club
and
he
runs
a
host
of
other
things
too.
He's
our
most
valuable

a
lady-a

us."

and

I

Gee,
but
I
nearly
gave
myself
away
once
at
the
Abbey,
talking
about
gardens."
She
paused
and
then
said
ab
ruptly:
"It's
It's
not
been
Just
fun.
You
see,
I
was
kinder
engaged
to
Ron
ny,
and
when
he
handed
in
his
checks
well,
I
had
'
to
do"
some
thing
to
track
down
the
skunk
who
murdered
him.
That's
all."
I'm
completely
bewildered,'
said
Bundle.
"Nothing
is
what
it
seems."
It's
very
simple,
Lady
Eileen,"
said
Superintendent
Battle.
"It
began
with
some
of
the
young
people
wanting
excitement.
It
was
Mr.
Wade
who
first
got
on
to
me.
He
suggested
the
formation
of
a
band
of
what
you
might
call
amateur
workers
to
do
a
bit
of
secret
ser
vice
work.
I
warned
him
that
it
might
be
dangerous
but
he
wasn't
the
kind
to
weigh
that
in
the
bal
ance.
I
made
it
plain
to
him
that
any
one
who
came
in
must
do
so
on
that
understanding.
But,
bless
you,
that
wasn
t
going
to
stop
any
of
Mr.
Wade's
friends.
And
so
the
thing
began."
But
what
was
the
object
of
it
all?"
asked
Bundle.
"We
wanted
a
certain
man
and
wanted
him
badly.
He
wasn't
an
ordinary
crook.
He
worked
in
Mr.
Wade's
world,
a
kind
of
Raffles,
but
much
more
dangerous
than
any
Raffles
ever
was
or
could
be.
He
was
out
for
big
stuff,
international
stuff.
Twice
already
valuable
sec
ret
inventions
had
been
stolen,
and
clearly
stolen
by
someone
who
had
inside
knowledge.
The
professionals
had
had
a
try
and
failed.
Then
the
amateurs
took
on
and
succeeded."
"Succeeded?"
Yes
but
they
didn't
come
out
of
it
unscathed.
The
man
was
dan
gerous.
Two
lives
fell
victim
to
him
and
he
got
away
with
it.
But
the
Seven
Dials
stuck
to
it.
And
as
I
say,
they
succeeded.
Thanks
to
Mr.
Everslelgh,
the
man
was
caught
at
last
red-handed."
Who
was
he?"
asked
Bundle.
"Do
I
know
him?'"
'You
know
him
very
well,
Lady
Eileen,
His
name
is
Mr.
Jimmy
Thesiger,
and
he
was
arrested
this
afternoon."

Club
39-

in
last
evening's
basketball
game
before
a
large
number
of
ardent
fans.
The
game
started
rather
slowly,
with
each
team
taking
nu
merous
long
shots
at
the
basket.
The
first
half
ended
with
Rupert
on
the
long
end
of
a
27-15
score.
Wih
the
beginning
of
the
second
naif
Rupert
kept
up
its
scoring
to
take
a
longer
lead
of
32-15.
With
only
15
minutes
to
play,
Simpson
staged
a
wonderful
rally
to
score
14
points
to
Rupert's
three.
The
play
became
furious
at
this
point
and
both
teams
were
striving
hard
to
obtain
possession
of
the
ball.
The
fans
became
frantic
and
urged
their
favorite
team
to
score.
Rupert
scored
twice
in
succession,
but
Simpson
retaliated
to
score
twice
also.
Will
Lambie,
playing
guard
for
Rupert,
turned
in
a
stellar
game.
W.
Mitchell
was
the
pick
of
Rupert's
forwards.
Ross
and
Henry
were
the
best
on
the
Simpson
team.
Ross
was
high
scorer
of
the
evening
with
19
points
to
his
credit.
Intermediate

There
were
two

26-24.
This
was
the
fastest
game
on
the
floor
during
the
evening.
Snappy
combination
plays
resulted
in
the
majority
of
the
points
scored.
Both
teams
were
travelling
at
a
fast
pace.
With
three
minutes
to
play
the
score
was
20-22
in
favor
of
the
High
School.
Scott
scored
twice
and
Macdonald
once
to
put
the
Bankers
in
the
