sat I saw in the tall of zuy eye the two

.compartatent, and something vaguely
troubled my senses.
I settled into the cuelaions as the

• At Paddington I took a cab.. 1 could
see the man with the squint nowhere,
and I looked for him pretty sharply.
His companion's face I had not seen,
and sbould not, of, course, recogulee
again. It was quite possible tbat they
had been passengers to an intermediate
station only, in which ease, as I con-
ceived, 1 had been using my imagina-
tion in vain, It was by this time a lit-

roughly into another mood by the ap-

stick at, as I bad had Proof. I made
: my mind to try for Sheppard. It
was possible that he was In town, and
In any case I would not leave the docu-
ment off neY Peron. In the meantime
I wait feeling extremely hungry and
wasresolvedto make a meal. It wad
certain the scoundrels would not assail
me in the open.
I scrutinized the court as I came out,
but naturally the spies were not likely
fto show themselves. Then I drove to
:the Cafe Royal and enjoyed an excel-
•' lent dinner. From where I sat in the
dining room I had a view through an
• open door of the great hall beyond, in
which the representatives of a dozen
nationalities drank and e.hattered and
played their dominos. • Halfway
through my meal I looked up, and
there was ray friend unobtrusively sip-
s:ring a glass of verrnuth right oppo.

was followed still, as I had .suspected
would be the case. To lose sight of me
on the chance that I had bestowed

not a piece Of their policy. I suppose"
the room would keep. I had a good
view of the fellow, and as 1 leisurely
drank my wine I watched him. Clear-
ly I was.to haye an adventure for my
pains, and the first thing was to run
Sheppard to earth.
When I got out into the street I was
consclois that the man was behind me,
and, turning quickly, I confrouted. him.
My action was so abrupt that it took
him by surprise, but ho took off blailhat
politely and with a "Pardon, sle." in a
slightly foreign accent, avoided the col-
lision that bad been imminent. I
jumped into a cab and drove straight
to Sheppard's rooms in Down street.
As luck would have it, he was out, but
It was a relief to dad that was in
town. According to the maid, he was
to be back in the morning. In consid-
erable disappointment I ran down the.
stairs and banged the front door, and
there was my man across the roadway.
I confess that I began for the first
time to have the- feeling of being hunt-
ed. I strode over to him.
"What the devil do you want?" I
asked angrily.
"Sir!" said be and looked up at me
as ff in surprise.
"What the devil do you want?" I re-
peated.
• There was a slight pause, and with
my hand in my pocket I ostentatiously
cocked the revolver. The faint click
caught his ear. •
"I am 'desirous to walk about the
street,- .sir," he said softly. "I have
made up my mind to see London by
night. It is ear' beantiful."
"Very Well," thought I, for it was
plainly of no use to deal with the ras-
cals "You may walk as much as you
like. I am for a cab."

the question as to where I was to pass

that I didn't forthwith take the Shelter

two hours and more. By that titne my
cab horse, a fine upstanding chestnut,
had fairly run himself down, and so I
hoped had my pursuers' cab. tut of

some time. • He had taken the initiative
himself, constituting lairaselfe I con-
ceive, the guardian of this harmless lu-
natic. At all events, it was soon plain
that we had entered a cul-de-sac. The
situation pricked my resolution to the
proper point of action. As it fell out,
a flare of gas streamed from the l fan
lights in a large andnorara.odious helm
near the bottom of the road, seenaing
to show that the inmates had not yet
retired, and, acting on my _resolution
In a second, 1 stopped the man and

so the second cab also came to a pattse.
My cab turned slowly round and stop-
ped abreast of his fellow. I wOuld
swear I saw the two figures alight.
God knows what the cabmen made of
it all. I pulled at the bell, but foa a
time could get no answer. But at last,
and in response to a louder peal than
usual, the door was opened, and there
.
confronted me a tall, slight man. sonte-
thing near my own age in everting
dress.
"Who the devil may you be?" says
he, surveying me from top to toe with
a ptrzzled look.
"Sir," said I, "this is no place upon
your doorstep to explain to you. But
I am in immediate need of a kindly
hand. and if you wial have the goodness
to bear with me and allow me two
minutes in your private room I make

"Then, pray, let me shut the door fer

And without more ado I closed the
great door with a bang.
He led the way docilely enough into
a neighboring room and, turning up the

The garden was black and ilent
when the door closed upon me. I lis-
tened for a few minutes, but could
hear no sound save that of laughter
from the house. Then I scrambled'
among the bushes at the back of the
house and presently came upon a high
wall. Climbing to the top of this with
difficulty, I looked down upon a
and, lowering myself softly, I dropped
upon the footpath. Right and 1e41 no
one was visible, with wbich fact, much
enheartened, I walked _briskly away.
I suppose I had gone about a mile
among the maze of roads when I at last
happened upon.a hansom and drove to
a hotel. No sign of my enemy was vis-
ible, and for all I knew or cared they
were still watching outside Lord Win.

CHAPTER VIII.
OW that I had given my pursu-
ers the slip I was confident that
I should not be at further trou-
ble with them ,for the present,
for once I and my parcel were out of
their sight for any space of time there
could be little doubt in their minds that
I would accept the chance to dispose of
It. But, as a matter of fact, I did noth-
ing of the kind. The document would
be of little use deposited in some Lon-
don safe. It might be of considerable
value down at the castle. I still bug-
ged my secret In my pocket and, hug-
ging it, set out next morning to dird
Sheppard. I caught bine upon bis re -
tura about midday and opened the sit-
uation to him over lunch. It did me
good to see his eyes sparkle at the rec-
itation.
"Why, this is the seventeenth century
at least, Ned," said be in his excite-
ment. "A treasure, buccaneers and a
high handed, murderous gang! Do I

he emacked his thigh in sheer jnyons-
ness.
• "This is well enough," 2 replied, "but
you forget that it is no child's play.
This is mighty serious, If I have a no-
tion of the men, and we must face the
ease pretty brazenly and boldly if we
decide to go forwafd."
He sprang from Ids chair. "My dear
fellow, you amaze nieS' said' he. "You
talk in this dubious way about going
forward, with an adventure like this
ahead! If you cock a white feather,
my good Ned, I will tale the place off
your hands and carry on the game on
my own account. That's my feeling."
I"So far, good," said I. "I wanted to
be quite open with yon, and, as .for
that, between you and me I have every
intention of sticking to ft But this is
the least part of the matter. We can
make up our minds to go on, but what
is going on?"
Sheppard picked up a time table. "Im-
primis," said he, "t� catch the 3:45
train to Raymond. If you'll drive
straight to your rooms I'll meet you at
Paddington."
When I got to the station he was as
• good as his word, and, sthnulated by
his high spirits, I entered busily pito
possible plans, in which occupation we
passed most of the journey.
The twenty-four hours had passed
uneventfully at the castle, but 2 found
Montgomery on the watch and very
eager. Ile bad armed himeelf with a
shotgun, whYch he dragged about with
him very ostentatiously, and indeed 1
had some ado to prevent hien sltiing 1
down to dinner with it; Sheppard had
been haformed of his presence, and the
two promised to be capital friends.
Sheppard always had a way direct to
the heart of new acqtraintances and,'
With his indomitable gayety and his
Impulsive energy, was Pxceedingly at-
tractive to Montgomery. I myself was
used with sincere respect, tempered by
a little awe; but the boy showed imme-
diate sigma of a positive affection for

facts took away his breath and in-

"I can tell you this, Mr. Sheppard,

within shooting range empty both
barrels into them on the off chance.
And of that I'll give 'em warning."
"Breve!" said Sheppard, slapping
him on the back and smiling bin pleas-
ant smile. "You're the man for my
money, old cock!"
"And now," I resuthed, "-we are
brought front to front with affairs.
We have half the mper. How are we
to get passession of the other?"
"Iti plan enough," said Sbeppard.

me to your friend Hood: I have a

As it fell out be bad an earlier chance
or the acquaintance than either of us
anticipated. Shortly lifter breakfast
on the following morning the maid
brought me word that Captain Ser.
combo was in the library and begged
to see me.
' "Here Is a pretty piece of impu-
dence," said Sheppard, smiling, "Con -
feud the man, but I like him! By
all means let us have him up."
He looked at me. "Not at all," said
I, "but since there is nothing- to steal
in the -library sane some hundreds of
musty volumes, let him wait upon our
pleasure."
"And my toe," growled Montgomery,
assuming, 0, ferocious expression, ,
"No, no, my dear lad," said Shep-
pard, with his gentle and insinuating
smile. "You are too forward, too pre-
cecious in your arguments. Let us bag
the captain, whom, I confess, I am
dying to see well basted, but let it be

"Very well, come on," said I, rising,
Or, to say the truth, I was curious to
know the man's business with me. .We
descended in file into the library. Ser-

window and curling his muetache with
an air of abstraction, turned rapidly
