CHAPTER, XXIX.
Chris gave Honsou one swift
searching glance before her eyes
dropped thenurely to the ground.
Lord Littimer appeared to be taking
no heed of anything but his own an-
noyance. But quick as Chris had
been, Henson was quicker. He was
smiling the slow, sad smile of tho
man who turns the other cheek be-
cause 1t is bis duty to do so.
"And when does Dr. Bell arrive?"
he asked.
We won't arrive at all," Littimer
said, irritably. "Do you suppose I
am going to allow that scoundrel un-
der my roof again? The amazing
impudence of the fellow is beyond
siverYthinff. He will probably reach
Moreton Station by the ten o'clock
train. il'he drive will take him an
hour, If I choose to permit the drive,
which I don't. I'll send a, groom to
meat the train with a letter. When
Belt has read that letter he will not
come here"
"I don't.think I should do Vint."
Ronson eald, respectfully.
C'Indeede You are really a clever
An what would you do?"
"I should auffer Bea to cuinra As
a Christian I should deem it my
duty to do so. It pains me to Iiay
so. but I am afraid that I cannot
contravert your s, irgestioe that
Boll is a scoandrel. It grieves me
to prove any man that. And in the
present instance the proofs were over
powering: But there Is always a
chance—a chance that we have mis-
judged a man on false evidence."
"False evidence! Nthy. the Bern-
brandt was actually found in Doll's
portmanteau."
"Dear friend, r know It," Ronson
said, with tho same slow, forgiving
smile. "But there have been cases
of black treachery, dark conspiracies
that one abhors. And Boll might
have made some stupendous discov-
ery regarding his cbaracter. I should
see him, my lord; oh, yes, I should
most undoubtedly see
"And so should I," Chris put in.
swiftly.
Littimer smiled, with all traces of
his ill -temper gone. Fie scornful to
be contemplating Henson with bis
head on one side, as if to fathom
that gentleman's intentions. There
was just the suspicion of contempt
in his glance.
"En the presence of so much good-
ness and beauty 1 feel quite lost," be
said. "Very well, Stenson, 111 see
Bell. I may find the interview di-
'
vetting."
Ronson strolled away with a sigh
of gentle pleasure. Once out of
sight he flew to the library, where
I10 scribbled a couple of telegrams.
They were carefully worded and re,
lated to some apocryphal parcel re-
quired without delay and calculated
to convey nothing to the lay mind.
A servant was dispatched to the vil-
lage with them. Henson would
have been anything but pleased had he
known that the fascinating little
American had waylaid his messenger
and read his telegrams under the
plea of verifying one of the address,
es. A moment or two later and
those addresses were carefully noted
down in a pocket -book.
It was past flve before Chris found
herself with a little time on her
hands again. Littimer had kept her
pretty busy all the afternoon, partly
became there was to much to do,
but partly from the pleasure that he
derived from his secretary's society.
lle was more free with her than he
had been with any of her sex for
years. It was satisfactory, too, to
learn that Littimer regarded Henson
as a smug and oily hypocrite, and
that the latter was only going to be
left Littimer Casttu to spite the
owner's other relations.
"Now you rue into the garden and
get a blow," Lit timer said at
length. "I e.ne telling you a lot too
much. I am afraid you are a moat
insinuating young person."
Chris ran out into the garden gaily
Despite tho crushing burden on her
shoulders she felt an elation and a
flow of spirits he had not been con-
scious of for years. The invigerat ng
ale of the place wooed to have got
into her veins, the cruel depreneion
of the Souse of the Siloot Sorrow
was passing twits. en II,. she had
hope end youth on her side, and
everything was failing out teautifut-
ly. It was a pleasanter ce sled than
Chris had anticipated.
She went along more quietly after
a time. There was a tiny arbour on
a terrace overloo ing the Pea to
which Chris had taken a particular
fancy. She picked her way daintily
along the grass paths between the
roses until she auddenly emerged up-
on the terrace. She had popped out
of the roses swiftly as a squirrel
peeps from a tree.
Somebody was In the arbour, two
people talking earnestly. One man
stood up with his back to Chris, ono
hand gripping the outside raged
,
hark of the arbour frame with a
peculiarly nervous, restless force.
Chris could see the hand turned back
distinctly. A piece of hark was be-
ing crumbled under a etrcaig thumb.
Such a thumb! Chris had seen noth-
ing like it before.
It was as if -at some time it had,
been smashed flat with a hammer,
a broad, strong, cruel -looking Rennie,
flat and sinister-tooking 1111 the head
of a snake. Iti the centre, like a
pink pearl dropped in a filthy glitter.,
was one tiny, perfeetly-formed nail
'1'he nwnor of tho thumb stopped
hack the better to give way to a tit
of hoarse laughter. He turned
slightly aside and his eyes met those
of Chris. They were small eyes set
in a course, brutal face, the face of
a criminal, Chris thought, if she
were a judge of such matters, tt;
came quite as a shock to see that
the stranger was in clerical garb.
"1-1 beg your pardon," Chris
stammered. "But I—"
Henson emerged from the arbour.
For once in a way he appeared con-
fused, there was a flush on his face
that tuld of annoyance 111 suppress-

"Please don't go away," he said.

Chris replied graciously that she
didn't doubt it. She did not clown

that one of Mr. Henson's mystic tel-
egrams had been addressed to one
James Merritt at an address in

"Your work must bo very interest-

Dinner came at length, dinner sere -
ad in the great hall in honor of the

all the panoply and splendor that
Littimer affected at times. The best

nodded over silver and glass and

electric lights made pools of amber
None on fruit and flowers and gleam-

men went about their work with
noiseless tread.
Henson shook his head playfulle
at all this show and splendor. His
gond humor was of the elephantine
order, and belied the drown anxiety
of h s eyes. Luxurious and peaceful
as the scene was, there seemed tu
Chris to be a touch of electricity, in
the air, the suggestion of something
about to happen. Littimer glanced
at her admiringly. She was dress-
ed in white satin, and she had in her
hair a single diamond star of price.
"Of course, Henson pretends to
condemn all this kind of thing." Lit-.
tinier said, "Re would have you
believe that when he comes into his
own the plate and wino will be sold
for the benefit of the poor, and the
seats of the mighty filled with decay-
ed governesses and antiquated shop-
walkers."
"1 hope that time may long be de-
ferred." Henson murmured.
"And so do 1," Littimer said,
drily, "which is ono of the disad-
vantages of being conservative. By
the way, who was that, truculent -
looking scoundrel I saw with you
this afternoon?"
Henson hastened to explain. Lit -
timer was emphatically of opinion
that such visitors were better kept
at. a distance for tbe present. When
all the rare plate and treasures of
Littimer castle had been disposed of
for philanthropic purposes it would
not matter.
"There was a time when the enter-
prising burglar got his knowledge
of the domestic and phi steal geog.
raphy of a house from the servants.
Now he reforms, with the great ad-
vantage that he can lay his plan or
campaign from personal observation

"You would net speak thus if you
knew Merritt," said Tfensoe.
"All the same, I don't want the
privilege," Littimer smiled. "A
tnan with a face like that coulde't
reform; nature would resent such al,
enormity, And yet, you can neve]
tell. Physically speaking, my mem.
dam friend I...fatherly Bell has a per-

marks to him. A slip of the foot
Might have resulted in a serious ac-

appeared.
That you, Merritt?" Ronson ask-
ed, hoarsely.
"Oh. it's me right enough," came
the muttered reply. "Good job as

should never have got up those cliffs.
Where's the girl?"
"Oh, the girl's right enough, She's

"Got everything, pardner. Got a

firmly believe in having more than
one plan of attack and more than
two ways of escape. If we could
have despoiled Bell of his picture it
would have been utterly useless for
him to have come here. He would
have gone back preferring to accept
defeat to arriving with a cock-and-
bull story to the effect that he bad
been robbed of his treasure on the
way. And so he got the best of

Monson chuckled hoarsely. Ho loved
dranuttic (niece, and here was one to
hand. Ho almost fancied that ho
could see the white outline of Chris's
figure from where he stood.
"Got along," he said. "There Is
no time to lose."
Merritt nodded and began to make
his way upward. Some way above
him Chris was looking down, Bar
quick ear had detected some sus-
picious sound. She watched eagerly.
Just below her the big electric light
on the castle tower cast a band of
flame athwart the cliff. Chris looked
down steadily at this. Presently she
saw a hand uplifted Into the belt of
dame, a hand grasping for a lodge;
of rock, and a quickly stifled cry rose I
to her lips. Tho thumb. 00 tho hand
was smashed flat, there was a tiny
pink nail in the centro.
Chris's heart gave ono quick lean.
then her sense came back to her.
She needed nobody to tell her that
the owner of the band was James
Merritt. Nor did she require any
One discrimination to perceive that
he was up to no good, That it had
something to do with the plot
against Bell she felt certain. But
the man was coming now, he could
only reach the top of the cliffs just
under the wall whore she was stand-
ing. Chris peered eagerly down in-
to the path of light until the intru-
der looked up. Then she jerked
hack, forgetting that she was in the
darkness and absolutely invisible.
Tho action was disastrous, however,
for it shook Chris's diamond star
from her head, and it fell gently al-
most at the feet of the climber. An
instant later and his eyes had fallen
upon it.
"What luck," ho cried hoarse-
ly. -.a suppose that girl yondor must
have dropped it over. Well, it is as
good as a couple of hundred pound
to me, anyway. Little missile, you'd
better tako a tearful farewell of your
lumps of sugar, as you'll never see
them again."
To Chris's quivering indignation he
slipped tho star into his breast-
pottket. Just for the moment the
girl was on the point of crying out.
Sho was glad she had refeaintel a
second after, for a really brilliant
thought occurred to her. She bad
neverevolved anything more- clever
in her life, but she did not quite
realize that as yet.
Nearer and nearer the man with the
maimed thumb came. Chris stepped
back into the shadow. She waited
till the intruder had slipped past her
in the direction of the castle and
propaeed to follow at a discreet dis-
tance. Whatever ho was after. elm
felt sure he was being ordered and
abetted by Reginnlii Ronson. Two
mintitee. five minutes, elapsed before
she. moved.
What was that? Surely a voice
somewhere near her moaning for
help. Chris steed perfectly still
listening for the next. cry. tier sense
of humanity bad been toeched, she
had forgotten Merritt entittlY. Again
the stifled cry for help came.
"Who are you?" Chris shouted,
"And where are you?"
"Ronson," came the totally unox-
pected reply. "I'm dawn below on
a ledge of rock. No, I'm not parti-
cularly badly hurt, but .1 dare not
move."
Chris paused for a - moment, utterly
bewildered. Henson must have been
on the look -out for his accoutelice,
she thought and had missed hia foot-
ing and fallen. Pity ho had not

bitterly, and broken his neek. But

An Incubator Without Cash
Until October, 1905
There is big money to be made in raising chickens with an Incubator,
Canada exports annually millions of chickens to the United States and
Great Britain.
The consumption of poultry in Canada is increasing rapidly and the
poultry dealers complain that they cannot get enough poultry to fill their
orders.
One woman bought a No. 2 Chatham Incubator the first of March
—she had five hatches by July first and had four hundred plump,
sturdy chicks. In six months her Incubator had paid Iter $zoo.00, several
times its cost. A Chatham Incubator should pay for itself each hatch.
We have perfected an Incubator and brooder. We believe it is now
absolutely the best in the world. We have sufficient capital behind us, and
we are out for the entire business in incubators. We know that there is no
other incubator that can approach the
Montle*, this eeeee.,
th
'..
Incu
tor
This is our proposition To demonstrate our absolute confidence in the Chatham Incubator
we will send one to you, freight prepaid, and you make your first payment in October, 1905.
The fact that we sell our Incubators in this manner guarantees them to the fullest extent,
Thirty days' trial is a delusion and a snare. If you have good luck you may get off one hatch in
that time, and even then you are uncertain, and if you reject the machine you will have to pay the
freight both ways. But with us you send in your order and we ship the machine prepaid. When
it arrives, if it seems all right, start your hatch, and we will give you until October, 1905, before
you have to pay a cent in cash. We positively guarantee that the machine is a good hatcher.
Every machine should sell a dozen, and we will, on no account, allow a machine that is defective
to remain itt any neighborhood.
