Opoyright,.1808, by Harper & 13rothere
Within our coign of vantage we rest-
ed, peeping through the interstine.a of
the foliage upon _the Woodman, The
windows gleamed, with light, but be-
yond that there was no niark of life.
Half an hour went by in this way,
and then a sound Of voices rose from
the inn, and presently there emerged
from the doorway two men, who stood
in conversation for a few minutes be-
fore the. house. It was too dark to
make them out distinctly, but one I
set domi as Hood.. After a time they
separated, Hood, as I supposed him ta
be, returning into the inn and his com-
panlon .wal-k.ing clown the road away
from us. If we were to effect anything
this man must be followed, and I
whispered as norich t the others, deter-
mining to take the -duty on myself.
Slippiug through the copse, therefore,
struck downward through the fringe
of wood that bordered the road. My
progress was naturally slower than
that of the man I was tracking, and
seen I was surprised to lose the sound
of his feet. But a moment's reflection
cons-incecl me that he had turned off
the roadway and -was proceeding, like
myself, through the forest. This con-
viction became certainty a little later,
when, pausing to resolve upon my di-
rection I heard the noise of breaking
stiek.s ahead of me and a brushing
among the 'foliage. Guided by these
souocls, I shifted my path and went
forward. I imagine now that the man
must have heard me just as I had
news of him in the wood andethat he
knew he was being followed. At the
time I thought me -self undiscovered,
for I moved with slight noise. Yet
what happened was this: I suddenly
ceased once more to get tidings of Min.
I paused and waited, but the valley
(for we were now winding into the bot-
tom) was stagnant wits silence, save
for the purling stream in the' distance.
Slowly and cautiously I pushed on and
came out into a more open 'spacel
where I stood silent, waiting again. I
must have remaiwethere, still and at'.
tentive to all the tiny raptures of the
nocturnal quietude, for. more than half
an haat'. But I heard nothing of my
man, and so in• some disgust I.resolved
to abandon the pursuit Retracing my
steps, I climbed up to the road and re-
joined ray coMpanions in the thicket.
I found Sheppard in what for him was
a bad temper.
"Our sport is being spoiled," he said
impatiently, and to my guestioes add-
ed, "Jones."
"What is he about?" I asked.
"Apparently on the same errand as
ourselves," he observed.
I considered. "We'd better go back,"
I said. "The less Jones sees of us the
better, and, besides, he'll do our work
for us."
think we all welcomed the sugges-
tion, for we were all mightily weary of
the' game, but we retreated to the cas-
tle in some chagrin. Sheppard pulled
at his pipe for same time in silence.
"Well, what do you think of It?" he
queried after a time.
I shook my head. "I ,fcit better thie
afternoon."
"So did I," he returned.
"You're not going to give up?" asked
Montgomery.
We both laughed. "Not yet," I said.
"There's plenty of time for despair."
"Well, we'll consider the position to-
morrow," said Sheppard, yawning.
With which we got to bed, and 1 for
one slept like the graveyard dead.
I rode into Raymond next morning
with Montgomery, taking the road
upon the south side of the valley, away
from the Woodman, upon which Shep,
pard pronsised to keep his eyes. I was
anxious to discover what progress .
Jones had made in his investigations,
and, moreover, I felt slightly uneasy
as to our own posture in the affair.
Had the law got wind of us? And
were we connected in Jones' mind with
the mysterious transactions of the
Gwent?
As luck had it, we did not find 'Jones,
Who had returned to. Raymond very
early in the . morning, but had been
hastily summoned back into the Gwent
after breakfast. He had, my- inform-
ant Imagined, crossed us, but I ac-
counted for not meeting him by the
new route we had taken. 'Therefore,
none the wiser for our excursion, we
turned the horses homeward and,
climbing the rise beyond the river,
clattered down into the forest.
We had ridden halfway to Llanellan

when Montgomery's - mare fell larae,
and he dismounted to examine her
shoe. As he was engaged for some .
time in the occupation, I pulled isaY nag -
into the shade -of theibig trees by the
way and waited for him. Throwing -
myself off, I put my arm through the
bridle and walked over to the margle,
of the wood, where the grass grew -in
abundance, now fading a drab yellow
under the magnificence of the autumn
sun. The road here took a sharp bend
and in the act an abrupt peninsula or
headland of coppice stood out from the
main continent of forest. As my horse
nibbled at the grats, 1 beard a noise of
wheels in the distance and glanced
through the tangle along the highway.
Down from Llanellan a trap was die-
• Ing driven. furiously toward us. The
rate at which it rolled. was prodigious,
and clouds of aust flew up and en-
veloped horse, vehicle and driver in
their course, Thinking that this must
be a runeway, I Slipped the bridle over
the horse's neck, and, calling to Mont-
gomery, leaped into the -saddle and
turned thecorner to meet it. As I. did
so the carriage, which was of a rude,
serviceable type common in the coun-
htry, was plainly eisibleto me and I to
its occupant. What astounded me was
to see him raising his whip through the,
smoke of dust, in act to strike fiercely
at the flanks of the animal, and the
next seeond he stopped,. dropped the
.whip, and, as it seemed to me, reined
In his horse.At all events, the pace
was now umch slower—in fact, but a
comfortable amble. While I was won-
dering on this curious maneuver the
trap drew near enough for me to notice
the driver, and, to my astonishment I
saw that it was Hood.
His face was all, a sweat and grimed
with dust, and -plainly he had been -
squeezing the last ounce out of bis
beast, as the saying'is. Why, then,
did he pull up_ on seeing me? A. flow
of thoughts rdshed through nik brain,
but it was not until he -came well nigh .
abreast of me that the inspiration
seized me. He _made as if to pass,
civilly touching bis hat, but by a sud-
den movement I wheeled my horse
ecrossethe road and barred- his -way.
Had he been going at his previous rate
I confess that I should have thought
twice ere I took this hazard; but, as it
was, there was no harm. done Hood
himself, taken by surprise, pulled back
and jerked his left rein, sending the
beast toward the ditch. I cried to
Montgomery and, leaning over, caught
at the reins.
"It's all up, Hood," I said. "You're
a done man this time."
. "Beg your pardon,. sir," said he, Star-
ing at me. "But I was going to Ray-
mond." -
"Yes, and I dare sayyou were," 'said
I. "But now you're going to the cas-
tle."
At that moment Montgomery came
up, leading his mare, and took in the
situation. Running round, he held the
Other „rein. Hood looked from one to
the other.
"This is highway , robbery, gentle-
men," he,said.
"Call it *hat you will," I replied,
with nonchalance. "Montgomery, 191
trouble yOu to peep into that carriage."
At the words Hood's eyes shot with a
malignant light, and his nostrils curled
and shivered like those of a vicious
horse. The next . second he sprang
from his seat across the horse's back
and leaped at my throat with his open
- knife. My horse plunged and took the
blow upon his shoulder, which was rip.
ped open in a red gash. Then, without
a sound, -Montgomery pinned the ruf-
Ilan to the earth. It was not the first
time that he had felt the grip of tholb
great arms, and he lay still, underfoot
In the dust.
We had been so engrossed with the
incident that we bad not noticedthe
sound of an approaching horseman,
and now his voice. broke In upon us,
startling us.
"Thank you kindly, gentlemen. I am
obliged to you," it said, and there was
Sercornbe, very 'red and very dusty,
but with a twinkling smile struggling
over a grave and anxious face. Hood
got to his feet at once.
"The rascal gave me the slip," said
Sercombe, "but I am much in your
debt for stopping him." '
"Ali!" said L "That's the story, is
•
It is extremely odd, and I recall the
fact- now with some sense of discom-
fiture', but this sudden appearance of
Sercombe and the evidence that he had
keen chasing Hood- completely put my
reckoning out. The events had turiaed
things topsy -luny for the time, nor
did d realize at once that we were still
antagonists, opposed upon the posses-
sion of the very treasure which, I bad.
_conceived, was concealed in the car-
riage. But if I was late in eoming to
my wits, not so Hood. He might quar-
rel wIth• Sereolnhe privately, but as
against us he was the captain's part-
ner, and, sidling un to him. he whis-

pered a few words. Sercombe nodded,
i
and ere I bad time to observe all this
, properly he had_ edged bis horse 1e-
.4ween the carriage and 'myself and
*lied forth a revolver.
r, "Very sorry, Mr. Greatorex," sofa j,tes
pointing it at me. "It seems an un-
grateful return, but upon my soul I
can't help it. I'd a deuced sigkt sooner
offer the barrel elsewhere, but there it
is—we are tuch creatures of fortune."
He grinned pleasantly, and Hood
whipped into hid seat and turned the
carriage about. As for Montgomery
and myself, we were entirely taken
aback. They had the advantage Of us,
and we should have been fools to re-
fuse to recognize it So, after the first
stare Of consternation, I made thet best
of it.
' "Delighted to be of service to. Cap-
tain Sercombe any time," I said. "And
now, as I presume we are all goingthe
same way, we shall have the pleaseire
of your company,"
"That's right," he observed. "Hood,
drive ahead, not too fast this time."
And the Innkeeper, who had now re-
sumed. his placid tr, obeyed him. We
;logged along together, conversing quite
affably, but the captain kept an eye
'upon us, riding a little to one side and
holding a hand ostentatiously in his
pocket.
In this manner we rode through Lien-
ellim and drew' near to the Woodman.
Sercombe turned to me a little way off.
"1 reckon," he said, "that you'll want
to know where those chests are?"
"I reckon I have that chance now,"
said I. s
"Faith, and you're rightrjhe remark-
ed, gnawing his inustache In some per-
plexity. Hood never swerved in his
course, and I tell you I kept a sharp
watch on him. He drove up to the
door of the inn'and, throwing the reins
on the horse's back, jumped down.
And now the adventure began to prom-
ise greater Interest even than before.
I racked my brains to guess what
way they would try for an exit to this
blind alley. But in the midst of my
speculations I perceived suddenly that
there was a crowd of people before the
door of the Woodman, and immediately
upon our arrival we were hailed with
excited shouts and eries. I jumped oft,
and the others followed suit. As I did
soh I perceived Jones, the police ser-
geant, elbowing his way toward me
through the throng.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Is that Captain Sercombe who came
with you?" he asked.
"Yes, yes. But what is it?" I repeat-
ed inopatiently„for the ominous faces
about lire alarmed me with strange
fears. Jones made a motion to go, and
then turned to me.
"David Williams," he said formally:
"a man. employed by you, Mr. Great-
orex, was found at 8 o'clock this morn-
ing stabbed to death in the lower
Gwent."
CHAPTER XVIII.
HE sergeant turned on his heea
as he concluded his ,sentence
and strode off toward the door
of the tun. A ghastly sensa-
tion. of physical fear, as though I had
been detected in the act of assassina-
tion, overwhelmed me and left me star-
ing with my jaw down. Then I ran
after Jones, calling upon him and el-
bowing rny way through the crowd.
Sercombe stood for a moment conspic-
uous in the doorWay, and then he van-
ished. But Jones, being a small man,
was swallowed up among the villagers.
1 caught sight of Montgomery standing
apart by his horse and hallooed to him.
He hesitated for an instant and then
pushed through to me.
"Find Jones," I said hurriedly. "Wil-
liams is dead—murdered by this bloody
gang.' Oh, there be is!" And we reach-
ed him simultaneously.
I pressed my questions home, and

letter proves it.
' Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park,
Fitchburg, Mass., writes:
"It gives me great pleasure to say that
have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre-

"My oldest daughter found it very benefi-
cial for female trouble some time ago, and
my youngest daughter is now taking it for
a female weakness, and is surely gaining in
health and strength.
"I freely advocate it as a most reliable
specific in all disea.ses to which women are
subject, and give it honest endorsement."
Women who are troubled with pain-

Who stood by, lent half an ear to me.
"Excuse me, sir," said he, "I will at-

some Order in the officer's ear. The

and disappe-ared. "Yes, sir," said
Jones. "A little way from the stream

I started. The idea flashed tjpon me
in a distasteful light "To be sure,"
said. "I bad forgotten." We hurried
out of the knot of stragglers. The car-
riage and Hood were gone!
This discovery brought my wander-
ing senses together. We had been
duped again and that by a sheer acci-
dent, of which Hood had cunningly
taken advantage. I myself had pre-
pared my own disappointment. Mont-
gomery informed me apologetically
that he had tried to keep his eye on. the
carriage, but that my summons had
taken hitt from his post. We inquired
eagerly among the bystanders, but that
was of little avail. One of two had
seen the carriage drive off, and these
all agreed it bad taken the road to the
castle. The futility of these inquiries
soon dawned on me. It was not so that
Hood should be taken, and I went back
to Jones with my news,
"If you want the real murderer," I
declared, "you win find him on the top
of a carriage driving some;where be-
te eon here and Aberavon."
The sergeant stared at me.
"Hood," said I.
Rifles smiled. ."What evidence have
you, sir?" he asked, pulling out Ms
n?to book.
tL stlimmered and hesitated. "He's a
scoundrel!" said I.
Jones looked extremely dispassionate,
but seemed prepared to copy down toy
sentiments. All of a sudden I saw the
situation in its ridiculous light, but,
though it stopped my tongue, it did not
dispose me to laughter.
"If you have any evidence to offer
against Mr. Hood, sir, I sball be pleas-
ed to take it down," said Jones, and at
the same moment he elevated his eye-
brows in a formal smile at some one
behind me. I started around, and there
was Hood, immobile and civil, as al-
ways.
I never said a word.
• "I shall be pleased to answer any
questions, sir," said Hood.
I cursed him in my heart for an
amazing scoundrel and turned on my
heel. It did not please me to suffer
so black an eclipse. Montgomery fol-
lowed meekly atnny heels.
"I would have knocked the beast
down if You had given the word," be
said.
His lealty won my heart "Mont-
gomery," said I, "if there's any good
soul in this world, which I have begun
to doubt, it's you. And now the devil
of it is that we have Williams in our

gizzard, and the clearer it appears the
blacker it looks." After which I think
we spoko no more till we reached the
castle.
,Sheppard took our news gravely and
seemed tuturn things over In his mind.
"This is bad, Ned' very bade' he said
at length, "The place will be too hot
to hold us."
"They don't identify us with the
murder," said Montgomery.
"No," replied Sheppard deliberately,
"blit it pulls the police web closer over
us. We're marked men in a way. We
shall have a diflienity. Thi a business is
getting, too complex. The fact le, we
ought to have settled it by a bold
stroke much earlier."
"We didn't know," said Montgomery.
