THE GREATEST MYSTERY STORY EVER WRITTEN
Digby said, "The 'little -darling!
bet she comes out to Sidi if the thin
doesnt ,tttrn up!" and he bounced 'o
the bed, with ,glee, at the idea.
"Wonder what Uncle Hector wi
do?" said Michael, "Poor Aun
Patricia will get a thin time. , . ."
"For not preventing, us from pinch
ing it?" jeered Digby,
"No—for not calling in the' otic
at once, said Michael.
"1 wonder why she didn't," I re
marked:
"Yes," said Michael. "Funny,

And yawning and turning round
from the window out of which we
had been looking, I noticed that Bol-
dini was asleep on the bed behind us.
It was curious how quietly that man
could move about, with his cat -like
steps and silent ways.
Recruit -days passed swiftly away,
and we were too busy and too tired
to be wretched,
From five in the morning till five
in the evening we were hard at it,
and after that we had plenty to do
in preparing our -kit and accoutre-
ments for the morrow.
That done, or given to a needy com-
rade to do, we dressed in our walk-
ing -out uniforms, according to ,the
particular ordre du jour, andwent
for a walk in tawdry Hybrid Sidi, or
to hear the Legion's magnificent, band
in the PIece Sadi Carnot, or the Jar -
din Publique. Usually we three
went together, but sometimes the two
Americans and St. Andre would ac-
company us;' and Boldini whenever
we could not shake him off.
He stuck -to us closer than a broth-
er.sticketh,,antrafter his first useful-
ness was over (and paid for), as we
gained experience and learned the
ropes, we certainly did, not desire his
society for himself alone.
But apparently he, desired ours, and
ardently.
The mare we saw of the two Ameri;
cans, the better ' we liked them, and
the same applied to St. Andre -but.
precisely the converse was true of
Boldini.
However, we were not troubled by
his presence when Buddy went out
with us, for the American would have.
none of him, and scrupled not to say
so with painful definitenss.
"Get to hell• outa this, Cascara 'Sa
grads,' he would say truculently,
"Don' wantcha. . Go gnaw circles in
the ineadpw and keep away from me
with both ' feet .Skoot,' son,{' or
some equally discoleging address.
Painful es this was, we were glad•.
to teeofit by it, for Boldini waded
more and more familiar. Put into
words, the message 'of his manner to
s .three (his implications, and the
general atmosphere to create) was:
"Come -we're all scoundrels to -
ether! Why this silly pretence"• of
nnocence and superiority? Let's
e a united gang and share all loot"
ind of idea.
I' did not understand. ;Buddy's viru-
ent detestation of the man, though;
nd when I asked him about it one
day, when he flatly refused to let Bol-
in, in the canteen, all he could re-
ly was:
"He's a rattlesnake with a silent
attle and he's Lejatmc's spy. You
ants watch out He's on yotir
rail for soinethin," and Hank had con-
rnled this with .a drawled, "Shone,
I' Bo, watch the critter."
g The first time :that BoIdini showed
n objection to Buddy's rudeness, the
latter promptly - invited him to come
11 below and bring his fists -an invita-
t 'tion which Boldini declined, (and was
for ever the admitted inferior, in con
-:sequence). •
Another person who most certain-

W e were, however, far too keen,
careful, and capable to give him the
opportunity ppo tunity he obviously desired,
When he came in for room-inspec-
tion, he made no pretence of not giv-
ling us anti, our kit, , accoutrements,
and bedding a longer and more
searching inspection than he gave.to
anybody else except Buddy.
When I met the long hard stare
of his hot and cruel eyes, I thought
of a' panther or some other feral.
beast, whose sole mental content was
hate.
"tWe're sure for it, pard," said Bud-
dy to me, after one of these inspec-
tions. "Our name's mud. That
section -boss makes nee feel like when
I butted into a grizzly-b'ar. Only.
I ` liked the b'ar better."
"Yep," agreed Hank. He's' a griz-

"They ain't imortial," he added
mildly.
