Hegli pulled me to my knees be-

"This is Jack Naeli, 'Uncle Jaime,"
he said. "He is iny friend—your

burned momentarily with triumph.
"Know where—"
"But who stabbeC you?"'
1 have often wondered what vr'ould
have happened if Hugh had let hint
talk on of the immure, instead of
switching the subject.
"Toutou," anewered the dying man,
with sudden strength. "Tiger—that
chap—others--against--hire."
"But why did he do t?"
"Wouldn't— tell— him— treasure

Exhaustion overcame him.

"Where did they take yen? Tell us

The gray eyes glittered.
talk—treasure--"
"Where is the treasure?" I inter-
posed.
"How did you find it, Uncle James?"
asked Hugh softly.
That gay smile of triumph shone
n his eyes for the last time.
"Used—my—brain—all—laughed—
nie—in—Hugh's—"
And the life flickered out of him as
we watched.
Two weeks later, Hugh (now Lord
Chesby) and I found in London an old
friend, Nikka Zaranko. Nikka was
of gypsy parentage end Hugh and I
had bothmet him in the World War.
He was now a famed musician, but
upon hearing our plwis readily threw
in his lot with us. Hugh and I were
delighted with this, as Nikka would
prove a powerful ally with his knowl-
edge of Constantinople.
We then went to call on Mr. Bel-
lows, the Chesby solicitor. To him
Nikka told a story that startled all
of us.
"I have always heard of the Treas-
ure of the Buco:eon," he said, "but 1
believe it is also sometimes referred
to as the Treasure of Andronicus. It
is well known in. the Near East. I am
a Gypsy. My father was Voivode
Tzaibidjo, or King, of the Balkan Gyp-
sies. I have heard, for instance, a
story that a certain tribe of Gypsies
in Constantinople guard the supposed
site of the teeaeure. But I do not
vca.4.11 for the story.
"I- do, however, vouch for the state-
ment that Lord Chesby is confronting
an organized international band of
criminals with many Gypsy members:
and I do not believe that such a band
w'ulcl waste time on any enterprise
which they did not have good reason
to believe would promise handsome
profits.
"I have heard, too, of this Toutou
your uncle spoke of He is usually
called Toutou Lafitte, but he has many
other names. He is said to be a com-
bination of bloodthirsty monster and
intensely clever strategist. The band
have ramifications in all classes of
society, and there are few countries
they do not reach. , I have no doubt,
Hugh, they made arrangements in
your uncle's case with some affiliated
criminal organization in Ainerica."
"Mr. Bellowes, I gatherers from
Watkins that my uncle discussed his
discovery with you," said Hugh. "Did
he indicate precisey what it was or
where he had fount'. it?"
"Your uncle did discuss hie—ah--
fancied discovery with me. Aside from
the fact that he had made it whilst
at Chesby—"
"At Chesby?" Hugh interrupted.
"So 1 understood. He came in to
see me just before he started far Con-
stantinople the last time. I should
describe him as considerably excited.
'By jove, Bellowes,' he said, do you
know, I've found the missing part of
the instructions?'
"He never showed it to •me, and so
far as 1 know he did not have it in his
possession when he was here."
Mr. Bellowes had the Charter Chest
brought in- In it we found severel
framed ,parchments, with glasses in
front and back.
The first frame contained a sheet of
parchment, covered with minute black
letter script in a rather corrupt form
of mediaeval Latin.
"That is Hugh's Instructions," said
The Treasure of the Bunten
By A. D. HOWDEN SMITH
CHAPTER I.
The messenger boy clumped off
downstairs, and I let myself into my
uncle's house never dreaming that I
held the key to destiny in my hand—
or, rather, in the pink cablegram.
A samovar was bubbling in the
studio, and my cousin Betty King
hailecl me from the couch on which
she sat between :ier father and Hugh.
"Here you are at last," she cried.
"Dad and I have come to say good-
bye to you. We are going to Con-
stantinople to hunt for Greek manu-
scripts."
"Here's a cable for you, Hugh,"
said.
"It's from Uncle James," Hugh said,
ripping open the envelope. "Listen to
this: 'Sailing Aquitania today due
New York eighteenth. Must see yeti
immediately. Have made important
discovery. Your aid essential. Family
fortunes involved." 'He's after that
treasure again! Oh lord! A sort of
family curse. It's supposed to be lo-
cated in Constantinople, and my uncle
has spent most of the family's pro-
perty trying to find it. That's why I
have to make money in New York in-
stead of playing the country gentle -
Hugh then told the story of Lord
James, one of his ancestors, a cru-
sader. Lord James, on his way to
Palestine, visited Andronicus Comnen-
us, the Butcher, emperor of the east.
Andronicus was immensely wealthy.
He revealed the hiding place of his
treasure which was in his palace,
known as the Bucoleon, to Hugh's an-
cestor. Soon after that Andronicus
"Do you now, Jack,,said Hugh seri-
ously, "I am beginning to think that
something sinister may have happen-
ed..
"And now I think of it, sir," amend-
ed Watkins, "we 'ave been shadowed
ever since we went to Turkey. Your
uncle 'ad the Charter Chest sent up
from the safe deposit vaults—but that
was before we went to Turkey, to be
sure, sir."
Hugh jumped.
"By Jove, he has been after the
treasure! The instructions ieAbe'orig-
inal parchment on which Hugh the
First inscribed his command to bis son
to go after the treasure—carefully
leaving out, however, the directions
for finding it."
Our cleaning woman was still in our
apartment when Hugh returned and
she said nobody had called. I rang up
hotels for two heurs—without any re-
seult. At the end of my tether 1
was assassinated and Lord James
thrown into prison. James' son, Hugh,
headed an expedition, captured Con-
stantinople and rescued his father.
They returned to England and before
James died, he passed on to this son
the secret of the treasure.
Lord James' descendants from time
te time made futile efforts to discover
the treasure, but from the :Arne of
Elizabeth until the present, the search
was abandoned. hung up the receiver and joined Hugh

ing farms to finance his researches,"
Hugh concluded.
"Then have you no definite knowl-
edge of the location of the treasure?"
asked King. "No chaet?"
"There are documerts in the Char-
ter Chest—" began Hugh.
"What's that?" demanded Betty.
"It's a terribly old oaken box, bound
with copper and steel," explained
Hugh. "We keep it in a safe deposit
vault in the City—London, you know.
These documents say that Jemes's idea
was to have the treasure used for the
rehabilitation of Christendom if any
cause arose which would justify such a
gift. Failing that, the money was to
go to his descendants."
"Well, I for one intend to believe in
it," stated Betty, "and if your uncle
wants any help in hunting for it, he
can count on me."
Betty is slim, with brown hair and
eyes and a face that you have to look
at and when she sets her head back—
But of course I am only her cousin.
Hugh jumped up, nervously crunching
the cable in his hand.
"There's no use!" he exclaimed. "I
couldn't honestly encourage Uncle
James in any More foolishness."
When we reached the Aquitania's
pier on the eighteenth, Hugh button-
holed a passing steward.
"Lord Chesby, sir? Yes, sir? Yes,
sir, be was one of the first ashore.

CHAPTER II.
The telephone suddenly jangled and
unhooked the receiver.
"Is this Mr. Chesby's apartment?"
The voicekthat burred in my ear was
trangely thick, with a butteral intona-
tion. "Tell him they are taking what's
left of his uncle to Bellevue hospital.
It's his own fault the old fool got it.
And you can tell his nephew -we will
feed him a dose of the some medicine
if he doesn't come across."
Brr-rring!
"Wait! Wait!" I gasped into the
mouthpiece. "Who—"
"Number, please," said a feminine
voice.
"My God!" I cried. "Hugh, they've
killed him, I think, and I repented the
message." .
"We must catch a taxi. Hurry!"
In the taxi none o.r. us Spoke until
we came to the Lospital.
The nurse on duty led us into a
long room lined with. beds,- A high
screen had been reared around one of
them, and against its pillow lay a head
that might have been Hugh's frosted
mai lined by the years.
"Uncle James!"
His uncle was unconscious and a de-
tective standing near told Hugh 'about
the attack on him.
"He was picked up corner of Thir-

He drew out a 'typewritten sheet of

After stating the methods teed by
Andronicus in amassing his fortune
and his friendship for Lord James the
ancient document went on as follows:
