MARRlOTT WATSON. mom arm( Opoyright, 1W, by Harper & Brothers The secondflight led downward even farther than the first, and must, I reckoned, have brought me wader the foundations of the castle. At the bot- tom I was in a square, damp hole, and before me stretched a tunnel the height of a tall man and 'very black 'and miry. The thought of entering upon that naysterio-us and horrid gallery getve me a momentary pause, but, dissipating, my forebodings, I marched forward and was soon buried in the bowels of the earth. The tunnel was barely six feet in height, and I was obliged to walk with a slight stoop. To add to my discom- fort the roof, which was rudely put to- gether of huge stones, was very wet, and water trickled at intervals on my head. Moreover, 1 ' was being grad- ually coated with filth from the sticky nature of the clay through which the gallery was driven and vrhich had, in the course of time, percolated between the stones. But I was now resolved to see the end of the adventure, and so I pushed on, undeterred y the incon- veniences and almost oblivious of my fears. A sense of suffocation accompanied me, but soon that feeling wore off, and I strode along at a shatper pace, light- ingemy way as well as I could with the lantern and stumbling at Intel -MI@ over the debris of earth and stone which cumbered the footway. I must have gone some 300 yards in this fashion when I began to find the passage grow- ing lighter. Some time afterward I discos-ered ahead, but shining as it seemed from a great distance, a point of brightness that grew as I advanced. This was undoubtedly tie mouth of the tunnel, and, assured now of reaching some goal and no longer oppressed by the terror 62 that dismal alley, 1 in- creased my pace, moving forward to the light with a cheerful alacrity. Thus I drew near to the jaws of that • exit and came presently from the gal- lery itself into a wider space of cavern facing the heavens and rained upon by stars. About me the hollow, shadowed and hidden under the thick autumn fo- liage, was very gently luminous. I had now to determine my position, and I will confess that I could not make the least guess of my where- abouts. A noise of water ran in my ears, coming from my right hand, and toward this I pushed my way. The trees were close, and the undergrowth of bracken and bushes rendered my ad- vance very gradual, but by degrees I arrived at my point and found, what I had lately begun to suspect, that the sound rose from the little brook, which here descended the face of a steep slope in a pleasant gushing waterfall. A. great gout of water, flung from the stones, dashed in my face quite mer- rily, and, heated with the confinement of the gallery and my long and trouble- some passage, I stooped and bathed my face and hands in the running •stream. I now began to see where I was. This was a point in the Gwent ',below the castle where the brook left tbe, park and where the hill fell sud- denly awayinto the valley', clothed with a dense forest and traversed by few save charcoal burners. I reflected that this was a valuable edit to the castle, and then upon that fell like a blow the second thought -- that Hood Might have chosen tbis mode of escape, in which case the gallery was a drawback to us nailer than an advantage. And yet it appeared MJc. nlous to suppose that a fugitive vtoula hunt about- to follow the longer and more arduous*route of flight On the whole, I decided that Hood must have fled by the sally port and across the moat. Anyhow, he was gone, and it behooved us to renew eur defenses and concert our plans afresh. As I reached this conclusion in my reverie, with the sound of the waters pleasantly dulling my ears, I seemed to catch sight of a reflection flashing black among the tangled lights of the pool below me. The next moment I was burled headlong, and when I was awake to my position ten seconds lat- er the blood was drumming in ray ear, my temples throbbed with pain, and two men were kneeling on my chest. "Let, hini be, Charaxoal Loose his throat, you fool!" said a voice which had a rfamillar effect upon me. I ',tag- gered to a sitting position, the two ruf- PilUSIO! HELEN R. WILSON Pupil of Mr. .A.

"Hope they didn't choke you too much, sir. 'Twas a near go." I gasped, considering him. "I came to bring your supper, Flood," I stam- mered, and to this day I am glad to think I took the reverse with so much coolness. For it was no mean feat, I can assure you, with the breath out of my body and my wits wandering and my head ringing from an ugly blow. "Thank you, sir," said Hood, with his usual effrontery. "Thank you kindly, sir, I'm sure." I could have sworn the man was more of a gentleman than a yalet, and he was certainly more of a scouudrel than either. But, having discharged -this civility, he turned his back and paid me no further attention, merely issuing an order to his. cutthroats. The two dirty Greeks, one of whom was my squinting acquaintance, mantled me along without more ado. And if I •had considered the possibility of es- cape the fancy was dispelled by the presence of two more besides Hood himself, which I discovered when we began to move. I said nothing, keep- ing my eyes wide open and my brain as ready as might be, nor was any word spoken upon either side until we drew up at the Woodman, storming be- fore which Hood requested me to en- ter in his most conventionally hospita- ble manner. _ I was much exercised in my mind as. to the use these brigands could have for me, but as yet the situation was .too novel to allow me -consecutive thought. I was led into a large, barn like building beyond the inn and reach- ed by a flightof wooden steps outside. The room was large and airy and had evidently not been used for a granary these many years. Indeed, it bore the plaiu marks of recent habitation, and It came across me that maybe tine had been the hiding place of the Greek sailors. Into this cell the Greeks thrust me and, locking the door behind them, dis- appeared, leaving me to my ckwn reflec- tions. That these were not cheerful I need not assure you. Although I was but partially awakened to my misfor- tune, I had no difficulty in peeing whither it tended. Hood, as I DOW per- ceived, had discovered the secret gal- lery and had made his escape by that and not by the sally. port. But why was he lingering about the entrarice to the passage? -And how came he in company with his allies? I had not contemplated this problem for five tninutes ere the secret of my capture dawned on me and, I will confess, fairly turned my stomach. Through _the gallery lay the one road to the treasure, and Hood and I were the ()illy two people in the drama who knew that. , My seizure -meant, then, that the way was now clear for him and his enterprise. The treasure of the Vyvians was at his mercy. • In these desperate considerations I spun'out the better part of an hour, at the end of which time the key creaked suddenly in the door, and Sercombe en- tered, bearing a heavy lamp. This he set down upon the rude bench table and turned to me, seating himself in a chair and disposing himself with com- fort. "I regret, Mr. Greatorex," said he suavely and pulling at his cigar, with his hat on the back .of his head, "I re- gret that I am somewhat late to my appointment with you. It was to have been 9 o'clock, I fancy." Now I recalled what, to say the truth, I had completely forgotten, in the adventure Which I had experienced —that I had myself named such an hour to receive the capitulation of the captain. It maddened me to remember the fact and my triumphant diplomacy of the afternoon in the face of my dis- mal failure and this bland and sprawl- ing creature. But I was not to take a rebuff with my ears down, and teo I spoke up as calmly and as politely as hititself. Sngare. nNeelier,Steen:faiire- • .7.93a lite right," said 1. "Nine o'clock it was. But, like you, I have been unavoidably delayed. So please don't apologize." A smile lit up his face—and he was always best when he smiled—and his eyes twinkled. "I begin to see, Mr. Greatorex," he said, "bow it is that you have come so near winning this campaign." "I have no doubt I shall win it yet," I returned. "No doubt," he replied cordially, "But forgive me, Mr. Greatorex. I see you have no refreshments here, and I am ure you are in need of them. It was 'unpardonable of Hood." So aaying, he rose and went to the dbor, shouting some order to a man below, whom, I judged, I must consider my sentry. Presently, and before the captain re- suined his seat, Hood himself entered, bearing in his bands a tray containing a bottle of whisky. a carafe og. water seie 611 121.

SercoMbe Ailed two "Allow me, Mr. Greatorex," he and puffed for some minutes in silence. Indeed, it wax I who first resumed the conversation. ' "1 presunae, Captain Sercombe," I •said, "that you have come to tell ime that you do not accept my offer.'" "Precisely," he owned, taking his ci- gar from his mouth. "Tbat is ex- actly the position, Mr. Greatorex. I don't know how you guessed it, but there it is. I do not feel justified, in consideration of my relations svith Mr. Hood, in accepting your proposals." I "Then," 1 said blunly„ but keeping upf the farce, "I see no reason for our clone tinning this interview,and, as I ane somewhat tired, if you Neill excuse me"— "I would not trespass upon you in the slightest," he inteerupted, "But I had an idea that perhaps we might ar- rive at a compromise." I said uoth- ing, for I had not the faintest notion of what he was driving at. "You are aware," he continued in his pleasant voice, "that there is an access to the dungeon in which, justifiablyi or otherwise—I express no opinion.—gou confined our host." I bowed and sipped my whisky and water. "You are also aware," he went on, "that now you, the 'only other person who has knowledge of that private road, are, let us say, enjoying. the hos- pitality of the Woodman, the treaetre chests are not likely to remain long where they are." He waited on my answer as if some- thing •anxious, but I merely nodded and watched him. Captain Sercombe from his comfortableiattitude bent his red brow e at me. "May I ask you, Mr. Greatorex," he said quite coolly, "if you happen to have locked the dor of the dungeon?" For answer and without giving the matter a thought I produced the keY, which, as I have alreedy narrated, I had put in my pocket. Sercombe's eye lightened. He rose and went to the door, opening it and glancing into the darkness. Then he returned and drew his chair nearer to mine. "You made me a proposition this afternoon," he said earnestly. "I did," said I, "which I now beg to retract." "It was not good enough," he went on, paying no attention to my sarcasm —"not nearlii good enough. But 'Mine do you say if I make -one to you now?" I shrugged my shoulders. "I am at your mercy," I said. "I envy you your powers of ease," he • said. "1 0.111 pretty good, but I admit you beat me. But come, I am making you a! proposition. What do you say?" "I have already said it." - "I see I will get no more change out of you," he said soberly. "But I knew a man to trust when I see him. That has been my safeguard, Mr. Greatorex. And I know a man to distrust, though sometinaes it Is unavoidable"— Ile broke off. "Your friends don't know where you went tonight?" be asked suddenly. "Why do you ask?" I said. "If the dungeon door is locked it is impossible that they can get into it. But if your friends had the key," he went on, growing very earnest, "what would happen? I imagine that they would open the door, find the bird flown and perlutPs the entrance to the secret- passage disclosed." . This began to interest me. What was the rascal's purpose? "Well?" I put in. He lowered his voice, which- convey- ed a certain effect of fear to my mind. "In which case the treasure would remain in the poseesslah of the castle." • "You speak like a book of Euclid," I returned, after a pause. "And now, captain, let Me ask in my turn whaf proposition afe you making to me?" He considered for a moment. "There are three of yon," he said. "But 1 cou- fess I cannot reckon my friend Mont- gomery. Let us say two, then. I am willing to go halves with you. In which case, as you will see, there is a quarter for yourself." "You would betray your associates," I said dryly. "Pardon me," said the captain, "we are not here to pass criticisms on mor- als. And, if it comes to that, what are we all? I see no Pin prick between us. I do not invite your conclusions on my conduct. I have the honor to make you a proposal." The rascal leaned back in ins chair and watched me with a curious air of satisfaction. Indeed, his complacency was well grounded, and I could not but admit to myself that he was making me a handsome offer. His distrust or his fear of Hood was stronger than his greed, and it was to that we owed tine unexpected intercesshin when fate had turued clean against us.

He must certainly have made the proposal In good faith, for all I was invited to do was to surrender the key, a key which could be of no possible use to him now that the subterranean en- trance to the dungeon had been dis- covered. I withdrew it from my pock- et. He nodded. confidentially. "That is all I ask," hei said. "And I?" I queried. I "You shall be at lib*at the earn- est opportunity I can Ltd," he return- ed. "Observe, Mr, G eatorex, that , I am taking a great risk I am depend- ing upon your word." "If I give ' it," I replied, "you may depend upon it. You will warn my companions?" I asked.. "I. *111 see that ,they pay a visit to th.eir prisoner," said he, "and I reek= theywill want little warning after that!' • "You Islay take the key," said 1 after a pause. But at that moment a slight sound as of soft feet upon the creaking stairway rtiached us. Sercombe whit- ened visibV and looked uneasily at the door, -F 4? "It Is better that I should leave you now," he said hurriedly. "We can set- tle this tomorrow -Morning." And, showing clear signs of discomposure, he iegt the barn. As for me, I sat with the key In my hand, considering. I thought I 'could put a name on the owner of those steps. CHAPTER -XVI. c SIIIRCOMBE was not so gottd as his word. SO far from complet- ing the bargain on the merrossa he never came near me; and I passed the day- quite allorie, save Ition the occasional visits of one of the Greeks bringing my food. I began to have a very intelligible view of the situation. Sercombe had been fright- ened off the arrangement he had con- templated by the fear of his compan- ion, or if that were not so, though I was now quite prepared to credit it, he deemed it -wiser to postpone the lune venture still further; in which ease -I might still 'keep my hopes alive and nourish an ambition of linal success. But the truth was that each day lost was so much gained toward the ac- complishment of Hood's object, and even as I sat and gnawed my fingers - and reflected in this doleful mood the treasure was fast leaving the castle. passing into the possession of allen• and bloody hands. There was yet nother alternative, about which I could not make up vay mind. Hood might have bought the allegiance of his traitorous associate, and, if so, I -wished them both joy of their bargain together. I would trust neither _scoundrel beyond the reach of my arms or the audit of my natio, and I was pretty sure that neither would trust the other. Their wbole associa- tion rested upon a mutual compact of greed, and it was odds but, the gold once under their hands, they would fall out in some mortal strife, accord- ing to the ancient proverb. If that should happen, perhaps, according to the ancient proverb, we, as represent - Ing honest men as nearly as possible in the cireurnstances, might come by our own, or, speaking more properly, • some one else's own. For the present I had gained nothing, and lay, a disconsolate prisoner, in that airy cell, guarded by watches of the - Greeks. So far as I could determine, we, the defenders of the castle and the treasure, were in a bad position, and • There was nothing for it op my part but resignation with as civil a grace as naight be. I had already taken account of the defenses of my_prison and save littleproapect of escape, but I will con- fess that throughout the lirst day of my captivity I WitS somewhat under • the Influence of hope and hourly ex- pected a oonference with Sercombe. This, as you may imagine, drew my attention from the immediate scrutiny . of my surroundings, but upon the morning of the -second day, when Ser- c.ombe still failed to visit me, I cast about for other means of escape. First of all, I _examlued the barn very carefully. It was a huge building and rose at th4 apex to a height of nf- teen feet or mole.
