e. SYNOPSIS
Adam Meriston, a farmers On;
articled to a solicitor. Makes a : brave
but unsuccessful attempt, . to thwart
three'thieves• ina. bag -snatching raid.
The bag was torn from the' hands of •.a
girl who afterwards. explains to Adam
that it contains the day's takings of her
father's ebo1.• '
Ho attempts, to track'' the'•.,thieves and
reaches .ea old warehouse. Adi►ms
enters the • building while the girl
:watches the door. Suddenly 'he hears
footsteps. _•
THEW MAN IN THE DARKNESS
The light burnt up this 'time: and
half -illuminated the figure. that ,held
it, bent towards the ground. - •
There was trap that, had nothing
to ;do •with:Addam, for in the landing
floor a few inches. from the ., man's,
'feet was a jagged gap where.the rot-
ten boards had. failed. Only a' yard
more and Adam himself might" have
met with a noisy.tumble.
The:man stepped carefully across
the' bad. place and straightened •up.
The dwindling torchlight': showed, ;not
a hunch back, but a tall,' spare figure
in... immaculate'.., business 'clofilies,.
though; this revelation did not' for- a
moment , dawn on,'.the .excited watch-
er's mind:He was at first too absorb-
ed . by the glimpse he had caught as
the man was rising:of a.': little leather
bag poking slightly.. from a 'fold of
the , fellow's overcoat, where ,hit bent
arm supported it across his chest;'
Adam : glowed 'with triumph as if the
bag were already yin his possessionn,
and,: then instinctively he set h_ imseif
'to' measure up his opponent
The match gave a last flare as his
glance�'shot upward to catch, • the
face .Then i it 'Wit thrown ,down and
its ,• spark- extinguished underfoot.
The watcher's' noisy heart actually
missed beat. He had seen the face,
and it was that• of'bit employer, Mr.
Corville• Perkin.
For a moment he stood tee-astound-
ed
oo-astound-ed to think, even to move. But events
were forcing.his'h'and. He mast make
some decision quickly; in three steps,
or four atost,;'}the „man • would be
near • enougi j to Ltouch. • Stgnif cant
that, his mind should frame:: it like
that, that he no longer ''contemplated
pinioning his quarry with• eager re-
morseless: arias. Far from this, so
',great was his normal awe of Mr.
Perkin; that=his impulse now , was to
:behave' like a •peccant schoolboy,. to

cowgr•• deeply in his corner and trust
that! his employer would pass without
• detecting •,his ' pretence.
;On thing only prevented him from
acting thus = the •,glimpse 'caught
under a bent arm of the little, leather
bag. He wouldn't have let 'the Lord
Chief Justice-IIh�iinselfand he had.
a re er • respect for the Lord Chief
Justice. -go away with that- AS' if by
instinct his fingers found the switch
of his torch.
Mr. Perkin started' violently ; • and
•
sprang back a couple of feet. Then.
he stood peering, hisface working, a
face that had gone. more parchment-

Adam'sfirst impulse:was to excuse
himself... . ';
"It's all• right, sir,"he gasped.
"It's only me, Meriston "
I The other recovered in an ominous
`silence. His lips • slowly tightened,
his head '• began to assume its,old
commanding attitude as,'"in' the. 'en -

confirmatory glimpse of a • multi-

„fr:ght, an extraordinary .fright!" His
words rapidly .regained, their normal
acidity Of tone. "Then what the devil
are you doing following me?" he'
dein
'broke out testily.,
"I wasn't following You sir- At
least, not that I knew, I wasn't.,
"Then • may I ask what the devil
you are doing here?"
The voice indicated. that' Mr. Per-
lin Was once, again the 'master' of.
himself, and of Adam. It was menac-
ing,'dominating.
"There's been a robbery, • sir, and
the thief camedown this way." In
spite of the. sight of"a corner of The
bag still'Dvisible as before, he • was
entirely without inclination to con=

.the most scrupulous: business;
"Oh;'," Came the reply, "so you've.

"Not at all,'sir."-
;This„aresponse-was-not entiuely_;un=
;trntlfuj. ' He. was 'too,, amazed, and
'too conscious of having in some in-
necent sway done'• wrong, to wonder
about. anything: For some four years:
its had been' daily impressedupon
him that Mr. Perkin was • unquestion-
able,. his actions beyond criticism If
his mind had :been less contused be

by the little lag, but that was'
las far ; as his temlrity would have
taken him.•
Mrs. Perkin' cleared his `throat, just
, as if he were in the Police Court .ad-
dressing the ,Bench.
"Asa matter' of fact," he 'began,
"you may, as well know that I have
been making some private inveatig
scions here. This' property is oa the
Market, 'and , the, owner ' hopes to sell
it to the authorities for their new
•police=barracks. I' am trusting you
with very confidential information,
you• understand. That's why I had to
leave it until . after dark before I
could come down to get a first-hand
idea ,of .the: place. People know that
I act for Mr.; Montada, and that
alone would have made it too notice-
able for me to be seen walking down

Town, Hall they would put :twe and
two together in no time and that
;would "probably , mean . theend of our
client's aspirations. You -Will.-realise,
I hope?j hors essential' it is to act cir-
cumspeetly in such circumstances?;'• .
• "I understand, sir." Actually he
was a long way from : understanding.
The story did not impress him as.
sounding in • the least probable,: and
if such'a tale had proceeded from
any other. than.Mr. Perkin he .would
have incontinelrejected it,; ,
"I'M glad you do," said Mr. Perkin:
drily. "And in that ;; case, I should
advise you to get along home — and,
mind you,. not a word of this •to any,
one, . or `1 shall be forced"to' conclude'
you entirely unfitted for the profes-
sion of : a solicitor. It will be better
for me ;.to wait here., a few minutes.
It would hardly do for the two of us
to be seen 'leaving, Grail' Street to-
gether. They'd think I'd brought • you

The solicitor passed a' hand over.

said, with extreme surprise, ' and
then: "Of course -it •.must he. What

"The 'devil she has!" he muttered.
