He sat upon one of the oaken cases, his eyes bent upon me earnestly, his body almost couchartt for a spriirg. I could have believed the man was pre- parhig a sudden assault upon me but that I knew he carried no weapon and I was of stronger and bigger build -than he. But apparently nothing of the sort was in his mind. It was merely ' the deference due to my position which he proclaimed in that attention. That n meek of tne trained sereant concealed his individuality now as ever. Never once had I seen the veil lifted 'and the real man exposed and naked to the light of day. "Hood," said I, alraost wine a sigh of despair at hinimperturbable calna, "do - you want to stay bere indefinitely?" "Certainly .not, sir; by your leave, sir," be answered promptly. "Then upon what terms shall I offer you release?" His eyes dropped, ann. there was silence. "Remember," said n "that no one outside ourselves is aware- of your enstence here. You may be hidden here till the day of judgment and none be the wiser, and even then your bones will scarcely see the light of day. What do you pro- pose?" Hood shifted his gaze to my face. "Anything' that's convenient to you, sir. I'd rather leave it to you, sir." I experienced a strange impulse to dry out with some emotion, but wheth- er thia was astonishment, anger or a mere sense of the ridiculous', or wheth- er it was a combination a all three, I could not have said. I rose from my seat, controlling my voice with diffi- culty. "Very well, Hood," I said. "It shall be left to -me, as you suggest." And with that I stalked out of the dungeoe and locked the door. It was impossible to transact busi- ness with such a man. I felt the need of reciprocity, whereas dealing with Hood reminded me of nething so mucb as of digging ati a piece of eubber that will fly gently back when the presstire Is removed. And so it must be with Sercombe that I should arrange the de- . tails of ii compremise, or at least the terms of a truce if not of a permanent peace. Sercombe was absent from the inn, but I learned that he was in Raymond, and; taking our horses, Montgomery • and I rode across to the little town in the early hours of the afternoon. We ran upon the captain himself in Higb street and as we were making for the Swan to put up our nags. He welcom- ed us cheerily and, mopping his red forehead (for the day was very sultry), invited us to, -:Wank -with him. "Just stepping acrogs to the Swan," said he. "Come along and put up your toes. Ecuador was nothing to ibis." I accepted with a nod, and presently we were seated in the commercial room by the window that looked out upon the courtyard, sipping a cooling draft. "I prefer," says the captain hospita- bly. "to drink in company rather than stione. And that's the distinction 17AL tw'een a drinker and a drunkard, Mas- ter Montgomery. Take it from me." With which be threw back his head. and took a long pull at his glass. "I have not felt so warm. since I was in Abyesinia," he reMarked. "Ah," said I, "you are right, eaptsin. Hot is the word. I'M sure front My, heart I envy Hood." Sercontbe pricked up his eus i. wading me inquisitively. • "Yes," I went on, leaning back in my chair; "et:ion damp floors, cold stone walls and neither the sun nor the moon to smite him -that's soy notion of com- fort this weather." - Sercombe paused in the act of drink- ing and put down his glass. "What Is this conundrum, Mr. Greatorexr he asked in a plizzled way. " no conundrum," I replied airn ly. "By the way, where did you say your- friend Hood was?" He looked at me under his red eye- brows. "Mr. Hood," he said, "is on business of his own. - He Is a gentle- man at large, but he has affairs." "No dciubt, no doubt," 1 remarked amiably. "This Is an excellent 'cool- ing drink, captain." Sercombe puffed at his cigar, con- tinuing to study our faces. Upon Mont- gomery's, I dare say, be perceived a 1 OFFICERS. 1 3.

"I'm slow of wit, no doebt, but I begin to see daylight. Mit I will call on you to observe that I am not responsible for Mr, Hood's move- ments." "I have never imagined so," I an- swered. "On the contrary." A frown, rather than a scowl, cross- ed his face.

"You felicitate me too much," said I, with a bow. "I am unfortunate enough never to have had a brief." ' "Ab!" said the captain and was for a moment silent. "You have Hood?" he asked. 1 The man's intelligence was quick; his wits were plying even more'quickly. "We have the honor to possess a prisoner, of war," said L - '01 congratulate you, sir," ' said he, "upon an event 1 had always antici- pated." Then again he was quiet, seeming absorbed in thought, but Sud- denly he sat up; "See here, Mr. Great- orex," he said, "I will be frank with you. This thing has not gone accord- ing to ray notions, and that's fiat. As for thisfolly of exploiting the castle from ins' ide, I put no faith in it from the outeet. A fair siege and n square siege is more to my taste. But you let up on us with that moat of yours and those sharp eyes. I will confess I never saw a position held more 'keen- ly. But that's no use to ms, and,I tell you that I'm sick of it. Look; till ' tell you how I stand. 1,have my men -they're mine, mind -ou, and not Hood's -and I've no stomach to give it all up for nothing. But, between you and me, it's no champagne supper to defend the castle and lose half your natural life, in blows and strategies; therefore, what do you say to terms?" "Terms!" I echoed. "To ransom Hood?" . He ejaculated an oath. "Let the . beast rot," be declared. "I'm talking of ourselves." "baptein Sercombe," said , I gently, "I knew Mr. Hood in this business ere I knew you, and to my idea, he was the prime rooyr in the conspiracy. Let us say thabe is gone, aml what have we to 'fear?" . Sercombe looked extremely blank, and. I could see that my words had struck a vital spot. "Hood," he said, "bas done nothing but blunder, and besides" - But he got no further, breaking off suddenly and as though 'with an ef- fort. "If that be so," said I, rising,. "let us see how Captain Sercotnbe -will man- age matters." "Hold bard," he interrupted. "Sit down awhile, sir. You have sprung this affair on me. I must take my • counsel. Come, what do you say to go- ing shares?" I lifted my brows. "You are not serious?" I remarked, He glanced furtively at Montgom- ery. "I will 'take one-third," he said, "and no questions asked." "My dear sir," said I in amazement, "you embarrass me. Your terms are too liberal from a vanquished fee. I could not accept such generosity. And now, if you will allow me, as I have an appointment with Mr. Hood shortly, I must" - But this alarmed him, as I could per- ceiye, foraie changed color and put out a finger to catch my arm. "I will stand in with all of you!" he cried. , I smiled, but before I could reply an interruption fell in the entrance of the police sergeant, Jones, whom we had, met before. He saluted us, and I made an inquiry as to his investigations. "I am on a track, sir," he declared. "I can say no more." And he eyed Sercombe attentively. "Yolfee not struck those gypsies, I hear," said Sercombe, who had re- sumed his cigar with an appearance of nonchalance. "No, sir." "They're here today and somewhere else tomorrow. I hardly expected you would find them. They nose a scent pretty -soon." "I'm on a track, sir," repeated Jones. "Glad to hear ,It," nodded the cap- tain. I went out with the sergeant, but Serconibe called to Me. "What is it?" I asked, staeding • In the doorwaY. An anxious look troubled Sercombe's eye.

Slowly I groped in the darkness and struck a match., relighting the candle; Then I turned to the slab of stone. It lay open, displaced, one end pro- truding upward, and, as 1 saw, had twisted. sted on some kind of axle. Below was dieelosed a great mouth of dark- n"Come," said z to myself, "I think I know' where friend Hood is, and this begins to get interesting." I felt in my pocket where my re- volver lay safely, and, seizing the can- dle, plunged into the evil looking hole. A stairway of stone ran downward, but very steeply, and I had the utmost difficulty in preventing myself from pitching forward against the rouah Masonry of the opposite wall. The Walls brushed me upon either side as I descended, so narrow was the funnel, Down, down I went, until presently I reached a sort of landing, which broad- ened into a little irregular chamber. Here a ray of light caught my eye, and I followed it till I happened upon a small door in the wall. A huge key was In the lock, but the bolt was not turned, and by wrenching hard I forced the door open. I now looked down upon the waters of the 'teat, in which my tiny flame danced in the growing darknens. After a little consideration 1 saw where I was. This must be a sally port, giving access to the fosse. In- deed, the water lapped the lowermost - step, upon which I stood. Was it by The stab of atone lay open,. this way that Hood had escaped? It seemed certain, and, If so, *ere was nothing for it but to pocket my chagrin, go back and communicate my melan- choly new to my friends.
