To obtain an entry to the Laburnums on the night, before the ceremony was to Lake place required only an edema - tory exercise of Jack's talents. The hour being a little after midnight the win- dow of the drawing -room was, ef course, closed, and the shutters fas- tened. But five minutes after his arrival they stood open, and Jack was within the room. as previous exper- ience had led him to expect, the wed- ding presents—a respectable show— were displayed on a table In that very apartment. A selection of those ertieles which. for portability 'anti easily negotiable value, commended themselves to .hls taste, was seen transferred to Jack's baize -lined bag. As he completed this, he heard a step in the passage. Mr. Huntley tvas not unarmed, for emergencies are apt to arise in his pro- fession.

Small though he was, it seemed a pretty tight fit, but Air, Huntley con- siderately assisted him with his foot, Then he shut the door and fastened it. It lead a bolt outside. There was a small slot in the door. Josh dropped a crisp word of warning through Ibis: "Shut your mouth and keep still, or I'll pop a bullet, through hem. You haven't room to dodge 11, you know.'
