The captain knew that Willie wae commumeating his recent startling ex- periences, and mulled to himself as he realized what consternation the intel- ligence of their secret having been dis- covered swould produce. Presently Willie came up to where he WM hidden and said: "Come out, captain; but, I warn you, speak them fair, for they're mighty cies. perate and ready for anything," "I am not afraid," said the captain, but, nevertheless, as he (stepped for- ward he held his revolver tightly, and was melte prepared to act manfully if hie reception was too warm, There was a buzz and murmur, threa- tening and emphatic as his well-known figure tame within 'the gleam of light from the lantern. • But some one from their midst stop. ped the noise from growing more dis- tinct by a warning "Hush!" Then this same one eame forward and the captain recog,nized the dapper fig. ure of Job. "Vire% captain," he said, speaking in a IOW, clear tone, and without a par- ticle of fear, "you've spotted our little nazne, it seems, and for us at a most orkard moment. What be you going to do?" The captain looked hard at the man. "I have seen you before," he said. "Most likely," said Job, calmly. "I saw, you the other night," said the cantain, 'and in this diteguite." "You did," said Job, and I saw you.,, It was an anxious moment for the captain. How much had the- man seen? There was a queer twinkle in his light grey eyes. Had they seen the whole of. that secret drawer business? The captain endeavored to discover by a question. "If I had been a moment sooner I should have caught you," he said. "As • it was, you took me by surprise. How- ever, I have you to -night, all of you. Ay, you fleece not look- so. fieice, my boys, I have you, all, and. you know it. I can name you one by one, from Job there to Tommy Lawn. Keep back.. There are six barrels here, and all load- ed. If you think to frighten me, you are much mistaken. You are also self - deceived if you imagine that I shall eon - sent to be catechised as to my inten- tions!' "Come, come," said Job, "don't be unreasonable, captain. We're twenty and more to one. What's -to prevent us from giving • you an inch of lead and, sending you across the main in the ship that's at anchor yowler? Many a man has been put away quietly and none the wiser." "Pll tell you" he said, "because you all know the dilfference between murder and smuggling, and becauge there's no necessity to kill a man who means you • no harm." . "No harm," said Job, coolly. -"They're fine words, captain, but what do they mean? Give us your word as a gentle- man that you Won't split." "I will do more," said the captain, slowly and with quiet deliberation. "I you." at each other half williieeoinin eynoul incredulously. Job alone remained, with his hand on his hip, calm and unmoved. "You will join usr he said. "On your honor?" "As a gentleman," said Captain How- ard Murpoint, with fine irony. "If you want to feel secure, show me how I can be a gainer by the enterprise, and you may feel perfectly certain that I shnel remain faithful. If you mean to test me, you can do so at once." "How?" asked Job. "You eity,e returnee the captain "that a cargo waits relining home. lell help you to clear it.. I shall have become an accomplice, a participator in the. of- fense, and what peril you run I shall share in." , "True," said Job. "You're right, cap- tain. You've got brains." Job instantly changing his resumer from a calm to a half -excited eager- ness, said: "Get down; boys, to the beach; the boats and nets are ready. Captain, you come with me. Willie, take charge of the boats." Tho men were lost in the darkness almost instantaneously, Willie as he Neenah toeing the ghostly disguise to Job as he ran off. "Where to?" asked the captain, quiet- ly. ' -• "By the secret way," said Job; "if you've pluck enough." • .• The captain smiled. "Question that when you see cause, my man," he said. 'Until then give me credit for some courage, remembering that I have made by own terms with %ell. twenty ti one,' . ' "Wight," seste Job. "I didn't •mean ter awn& Put one of those white cloaks on, and rub the sulphur over your face.

In the centre stood a tomb with the hair -molded effigy of a knight lying full length. , Job sprang upon time and motioined the captain to imitate his exataple. "Now, said Joh, in a whisper, "stared on tiptoe till you feel the wire," The captain did 'so. "Got it? Pull it down field tibia." The captain, without hesitatiola did an he was eommanded, and as his feet left the tomb felt the wire drawn up.

"Cling to the ivy, then, and dein look flown," retorted Job, coolly. The captain took the advice, and Job opened the door. With it spring, the captain landed be- yond the threshold beside Job, and wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Job grinned, "A hard bit, bean't it? -134 it's noth- ing when you are used to it.

The change of scene from the dark horror of the narrow ledge and it, abyss below to the dust -covered room with hi modern furniture was striking and ex- traordinary, "Now step carefully," said Joh. The captain, who had practieed. this manoeuvre, obeyed, and the Wee men cleared as narrow a strip of dust aa possible. "That will be all right when we came back," said Job. As be spoke he diverted the captain's attention fora moment, and in that moment touched the spring of the oppo- site bookcase. The bookcase drew back, and a gust of air, damp and chilly, nee from the aper- ture. It was that chilly, moist atmosphere which the captain had noticed when the ghost disappeared. "Subterranean," he said. "Ay," said Job. He threw the light down the dark, deep hole. "A rope ladder," said the captain. "Ay," said Job. "Get down." Job closed the door carefully, and stepped on to the ladder, following close upon the captain. "Careful!" Ile warned. "Some of the steps be gone." The warning was not unheeded, for as he spoke the captain's feet slipped through one of the missing links, and the ladder swayed to and fro. After a silent descent for some mo- ments he felt his feet tout* the ground once more. He welted until Job etune with the light, and then saw that he was standing in a small apartment cut out of the solid rock, and with only two means of egress apparent -the one by the ladder down which he had descended, and the other by a round hole large enough to admit the body of a full-grown man. "We are now just under the house, captain," sald Job, turning the lan- tern. "Up above us they be comfort- ably asleep in their beds-rumabernet With the lantern suspended ter his nee, he commeneed crawling through the bole, and the captain, whose courage was pretty severely tested, followed. Dath and dank, the way seemed inter- minable. As last the roof gradually widened. The men raised their heads and so eased their rigid necks. and presently Job stood upright and threw the light upon a large cavern. Their way lay now over the natural bed of a series of cavern, and as they proceeded the beom of the sea came plainly to their ears. At last a gust of exquisite, fresh, briny air blew upon them, and Job, as he masked the lantern, said: "We're close upon the open sea. Give us your hand. captain." So guided, the captain passed over the slippery rocks, and presently heard Job's feet plash into the water. liere Job paused and said: "I'll let you into another secret, cap- tain. From Imre there is another out- let, and a more comfortable one. We can't use it, not we rough men, because it's too near the house; but you can, be- cause if you're found near the entrance, why, there'll be no questions asked." "I see," said the captain. "I ensay `that lam taking a miduight stroll and e cigar." "Will you have one?" aseed Job, tak- ing a bundle of cigars from a hole in the cave. "They're choke, they are; you can't buy 'em under five pounds a pound,' and he paused. '!My Aare of the booty at present". said the captain. "I will light it when we get outside." Job went to a corner and scraped somechalk from a small hole. lie then inserted his hand in the hole and pulled out an iron rod like a bell -pull. This opened a small door a few feet further along the chalk road, and Job nodded to it. "Here you are, captain. It's a better road than the other; not so back -break- ing: Yotell want a light," and he held out the lantern. "Theaks," said the captain. He took the lantern, telmreed it, and passed into the passage. "Goodonglit," he said, "you may abut the door." The door slammed to swiftly, cutting off the sound of the men's voices, and the captain proceeded on his weird nod ghostly way. • Before the door *as a large round bush, width effectually concealed it from observation. Pushing the bush.aside 'with some dif. ficulty the captain looked out and saw that he was on a portion of the disused garden nearest the house. With it then' of delight he extinguish - ea the •flickering flame in the lantern and pushed his way thrbugh the bush, taking care to replace tho disttulted braneshes. Then he lit his cigar, and with" his hands in his pockets, sauntered on, pee, occupied, and was somewhat startled by a footstep and a sudden sensation of someone's hands at his throat.
