He knew exactly how he stood with Sonia Standish: he knew that, much as she mizht admire the work he did for the nation, the very mention of ‘his name was anathema to ‘her because of the tasks he tave her husband from time to time. After the last brush with Rahusenâ€"wh>n Tiger had nipped in the bud a very daring attempt on the part of his old enemy to steal the plans of Britain‘s latest superâ€"bomberâ€"Sonia had humbled her pride and had apâ€" pealed to him. "It‘s time you gave Tiger a rest, intert sider. He knew "It‘s time you gave Tiger a rest, Sir Harker," she had said, standing in that very room; "for years now, you have exposed him to all sorts of risks, and I‘m getting more than tired of it. You seem to forget that he is a married man! One would also imagine that Tiger was the only agent you had in your Department. If this sort of thing doesn‘t stopâ€"and‘I feel I can no longer stand the strainâ€"then I shall have to go to the Secretary of State himself and put the case to him. It‘s not a question of being a coward, or of being unpatriotic; it‘s A question of living continuocusly under an intolerable strainâ€"you must see what I mean?" He had nodded. "I appreciate everything you say, my dear, andâ€"even if you do not believe meâ€"I can only tell you in reply that I am extremely sorry to have caused you all this anxiety." CR C CE C This time he did not nod. How could he explain to a womanâ€" and @A woman who was happlly marriedâ€" how. when certain sudden emergencies arose, he was bound to call on the one man in whom, more than in any other, he had complete confidence that the work required would be done? Instead, he had compromised. "I have my jobs to do, Mrs. Standish, and those who have put me in charge of this Department â€" and the men in "It‘s eas me that in tered. She gave a cry. "But it iso‘t fair. You call on him too often. I know how keen he is on working for you, whatever he may say to the cortrary, but there is a limit and I want you to observe that limit now. Tiger has worked brilliantâ€" ly, ungrudgingly for you for yearsâ€"*" It had touched his heart to watch her distress. And so this time, he had done a little more than compromise. He had deterâ€" mined to take the field himself; to share what risks there might be in this adventure equally with his agent. He had been actuated by more than one reason in coming to this resolve; his pride had been touched by what Sonia had said to him in that interview: she had inferred that, whilst he skulked in his office, her husband had had to face perils all by himself. Well, he might be decrepit in years compared with Standish, but there was life in the old Gog yet. And that night he would show it. "THE MOLE" BURROWS Unknown to anybody he had gone to the house at Wimbledon, eqpipped with a telescopic ladder, a knife, a revolver, and a flashlight. An old campaigner, hne had been able to elude the guard, the members of which he had seen scattered about, and, fixing his ladder, he had nipped up it with an agility that even Tiger Standish would have (questLIorn InCiuLicC Lit .

But, again exercising caution, he had been able to reach the house without any mishap. It was whilst he was lying flat on his stomach practically overlooking the barred window of what might once have been a wine cellar, that he was startled to hear the unmistakable tones of Benny Bannister‘s voice. So Tiger had lived up to his wordâ€"â€" what a fool he would have been had he doubted him. _ He had gone to this house,. as promised, had taken Benny with himâ€"and now, it seerned, both were prisoners. “WOW“OOQOQQQQ000“00000’00000000“0““..0.QQQ“: His first impulse, of course, was to estion iriclude the Secretary of State Marked "w" ; Down for Klllmg enough for you to save hne future," she had counâ€" "Now that that swine has gone," he declared, with brutal frankness, "I don‘t mind saying that what I told him just now was a lie!
