Opoyright, 1808, by Harper & Brothers
"Have they, indeed, Ear?" said Hood
politely. 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

-down his cigar and folded his hands
on his head. •
"I fancy we've got- to come to an
understanding, Mr. Greatorex," he said
slowly. "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. "Has it ever fallen to
you, Mr. Greatorex, to' be tied in a
leaah; to be- But I reckon as a bar-
rister you are not particular about
your cases. You have messed up with
many a dirty attorney."
"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. "I have made you a proposition,
Mr. Greatorex." ,
"That's true," said I gravely, "and
I will ask Fp; captain, to better It.
