“Ah, so I see!” said Angel, stooping to pick up two hairpins that lay on the hearthrug. THE END A New and Deadly Force is Introduced In A Plot to Destroy London. The Three Days’ Terror By J. S. FLETCHER It was impossible for Lord Grandminster, Prime Minister of England, to believe, at first that London could be destroyed in a terrible and unknown manner if the fabulous sum of money, demanded by the men who boasted they were the possessors of a new Force which was mighty enough to wreck the world, was not delivered before a set date. The ransom was not paid and the first blow of “The Dictators” was struck. Charing Cross was leveled to the ground in a manner that left no doubt of the powers of the pitiless, unknown Dictators. Three days of looting and terror followed in the city; days filled with maddening suspense for the ministry that had disregarded the ultimatum--a suspense that was only ended when the steamer Malvolio was sunk in the North Sea.
