Half the peopie in London have never heard of it. It‘s fairly small, and frightâ€" fully quiet; but those who look upon Park Lane as beneath their dignity go to the Malbro without a qualm. "T‘ll manage," said Peggy. "To what hotel am I supposed to be going?" He laughed at the face she made. Not that sort of place, either. More goes on behind the select doors of the Malbro than meets the casual eye. Those who want to be inconspicousâ€" and can afford to pay for the privilege go there. There are various reasons for wantlng to be inconspicuous. Ours is one. Not that I shall stay there of course. I \have a flat not far from "No one is ever surprised at my eccentricity seen at the Malbro; they‘re too frequent to be so much as noticed Millionaires of dubious sanity go there and very rich and notorious divorcees who want a holiday from publicity. And nothing ever leaks out from it to draw the crowds. So you see, you set a sort of cachet wealth and individualâ€" ity upon yourself by going there; and you don‘t draw a gallery if there‘s any funny business."

I don‘t feel frightenâ€" ed. ‘After all, every time you walk down a main road you‘re taking a risk of being killed. What‘s differn:nt in risking the same finish with, say a gun?

I mean yOU to. Now go on! ‘How do we get to the Malbro? Won‘t it look fishy if we arâ€" rive by car? I‘m an American, newly @arrived.‘ "You have an eye for detail," he said approvingly. "No, it won‘t look fishy. I am your devoted admirer, with an eye on your dollars. What could be more natural than that I should meet you at Southampton, and motor you in.â€" to town?" "We shall. Not that the gang will have any eye upon us, you know. This time for real caution is after we contact them. I hope you don‘t colour easily. It often gives away a perfectly good disguise for lots of people." "I haven‘t noticed it. When do we make my reservations at the Malbro? Not from Leckingham Top? Suppose they got interested in me later on, and began to investigate?" s "And we shall drive into town from the direction of Southampton?" "Correct again. It isn‘t much that passes by you. No, we book from the pub, where we shall have lunch to morâ€" rowâ€"on the way up from Southampton. The hotel will be quiet at this season, oddly enough; it always is." o e Cc o C ‘"And when we‘re there? What‘s the programme?" Lk s w 00 4o "In the nightâ€"clubs." He became mischievously didactic. "You may not know about the night clubs. At the average one you can eat, drink, dance, see a cabaret, and be made uncomfortâ€" able in the particular develish idiom that club happens to have invented as fts trade mark. At some others you can have a flutter at poker, cheminâ€"deâ€"fer, roulette, and a few other games not approved by the staid police. At still cthers you can get a sniff of snowâ€"in fact, a dozen sniffsâ€"for a mere matter of, say fifty pounds. At a few you can retire into a silken cubicles and smoke a pipe of opium, er at still others you can shoot yourself chock full of coke or morphia, provided you‘re not shy on the money. You can. We can‘t. iNot the police. Not anyone connected with the police. They can smell official as soon as you enter the place. "" o# o 45 Ned _ it a novelty. The craziest things, they do. But after your first plunge into it, l"it’s all exactly the same." "Now why, says you, don‘t we raid these dangerous places, and shut ‘em up? Says I, we doâ€"oftenâ€"often with entire negative results For every danâ€" gerous nightâ€"club, mind you, there must be dozens of merely stupid ones as harmless as the daylight. They come and they go. Here toâ€"day and gone toâ€" morrow. But into such as are suspected, and still in existence, we two will go, and your job it to spot either the man or the girl, or both, and to make no mistake about it. We‘ll comb London until we do make a contact. I‘m afraid you may find it boring." London hasn‘t ;n;' _;é;l excitements like the country has, you know." Peggy looked â€" at ~him adouhtfully. "You‘re making fun of me." But he was not. His face was quite grave. It was a face full of changes, each as absolute as if he had become a different person. "No, that‘s honest, There‘s more real kick in your smallholding on the moor than there is in the town nightâ€"spots, You‘ll see what T mean." At first it‘s a novelty.
