But just' as this notion came ca we I •saw Stamboulos, • who was the worst of the lot, approach- ing with a dish in his hetnd. "Come; this look's better,' said 1. 'They're only playing it down on me after all? "He eame to a halt a yard away and, .grinning all over his face, offered me the dish.

For, answer he grinned wider than ever out of his black mug and, slowly drawing'a paper from his. pock- et, emptied a yellow sort of powder de- liberately over the dish. "I believe I turned white; at least I know I f:elt it. That notion had never entered my mind. But the vermin set down the dish before me and returned to his companions, who greeted him with laughter. Sickness , wasn't the word for what I felt. I kicked the dish away and steod up, a fury yelling Itt my belly. I was not going to wait. Thi e last straw tickled me into action. I ran down the elope toward the track, but, quick as 1 was, there were three of the devils after mc, and I am not so fleet as I was once. One of them came up witIi me and jabbed his knife at me. I got himin the head with my fist, and down he went, but before I could recover I got a push in the back, and , when I pulled myself up there- were two long blades glearaing in my eyes. To go farther would have been to im- pale myself on a bayonet, and I drew off and backed slowly to the rock again. Here I sat down, and for the first time I was afraid. "Gentlemen, I will not go through the series, for the time gets on and I've work to do, with. your help. But take that for a earople. That was one. Well, you can multiply that by a dont en.

SERCOMBE came to a pause. "That's all, gentlemen," he said. "I made tracks for the castle. them I don't know how far it was, .but I covered the distance as fast as I could. You see, I was afraid.

"The trouble is, Mr. Shep- pard," said he, "that I bad to strike the bargain net with you, but with Mr. Grdatorex. I wiSh I'd known your feel- ings before." "Are you all right?" I *ked, "What about this wound?" He rose from his seat "I pay no heed to trifles when on real busi- ness," he declared. "You must remem- ber thatit was mainly exhaustion that did for me., and, thanks to the wine and the good meal and the brandy, I'm an- othenman. I'm not cat's meat yet, and I fancy I'll see other people out before I am," he ended significantly. - "Very well," said L "And now your plans?" He looked at the clock. "High time, too!" he exclaimed. "Tonight, I know, was the time fixed, but what hour I didn't hear. I guess about dark. The place I can find with your aid. Isn't there a stream that rune south of these hills into the Ray?" "There is theistream behind us,", I answered. "1 believe, that 'wanders out below the town, but I've never traced It" "That will be it -a mile this side of the river itself. We can follow the course -and the sooner the better. Are ,we ready?" "Ready this moment," I answered, looking at Sbeppard and Montgom- .ery, -Who nodded. "'Oen let us get *way." We turned to leave the room, when I suddenly recalled what we had all forgotten in the excitement of the nar- rative and this precipitate plan of cam- palge. "Good heavens! What a.bdut the me lice? They will be watching for you." Sercombe frowned. "This is nasty," he said, sitting down again. "You are right. Will they take me?" "They have a warrant," I replied. "Yes, yes; true. Well, we must dodge them. I reckon the castle can do that Been the Signalise of -- - The Kind You Have Always Bought' ss, -joss- if the eastle can stand a siege," la said, smiling. As we were considering,. Sereolithe still with his smile upon his face and the rest of ns about the room, Sheee pard leaning upon the back of a chair, there came 4 knock at the door. WE all started, but, recollecting that id could be no more .than 'Mrs. Main, I eanswered to the rap. Mrs. Main it was, but, atter all, there was some reason in our start of uneasiness. "Mr. Sones, sir, wishes to see you," said- she. Ad look passed round the assembly. "It seems that we are anticipated," re- marked Sercombe pleasantly. , "Did he ask who was here?" I in- quired. "No, 'sir; he said be would like to see you." "Very well," I answered .slowly; "show Irbil let° the library." And • when Mrs. Main was gone I said: "This bringe the matter to it point. Jones is here after you, captain. Ills men were watching," • "Of course," put in Sheppard, "there's the outlet from the treasure chamber." "Now we're getting at it," sold Ser- combe easily. "And the only path to that is by way of the guardroom, and as like as not Jones' men are witliont," I retorted. "There's my room with the secret staircase," interrupted MontgoMery. We looked at him. "By Jove!" said Sheppard. "You're right," I said. With 'that I went off to visit Jones, •whom I found In a most portentous mood and with his infernal netebook to hand. - "I have ration to believe, sie," said he coldly and in his best official voice, "'diet a man ter wborn I have a war- rant out is harbored in the castle." "Ah!" said I coolly. "And wbo might that be, sergeant?" "One Cadtalti Serecinbe, sir, seen en- tering the cftstie an hour or so back by Constable Iluekle.", .

"You are as blind as a bat, and I will leave You to stumble about In your own way; but One thing 1 will not have, and that is your men trespassing on my premises, as they didan hour or so ago.

Certainly we esulenot afford to dispense With our weapons, but beyond them tbiere was little to delay or incumber us. , Sheppard and I got forth of the cas- tle and reached the great ga es just after dark was fallen. As we passed through I thought I perceived thi3 black uhadow of a man hovering aniong the bushes near by, and I put him down as 444tes. Attbe foot of the gorge we turned, , and, following the road to the right for a quarter of a mile, dipped I quickly with the bend -a the brook eastward and for the border of the farther coun- ty. The first part of the waytook us through the outlying stretches of the forest, butiiresently thewoods hugged the margins upon either side, and be- hind was open country, broken. Into fields and pastures, with here and there the shining Windows of a farmhouse or cottage. About this pant it Occurred to Sheppard that we were being 101 - lowed. le "I saw a man cross from tb, at last stile," lie declared, "and I'll swear I heard a rustling in the bushes." "Very well," said 'I. "If tiones is after us Jones will have a long tramp, and the sooner we dispatch him on it the better." "What will you do?" he asked. "Sit tight," said I, "and keep mum. Here's an , excellent corner for ' silent meditation," and 1 droppedinto a black patch of brachen, Whithe he fel- ' lowed me.. ,1 We had been following a footpath which wound through the coppihe close to the streain, and a little disance to the left we frank into our hid! g place and waited. Some five M1llUtel8 after, the footsteps of a man sounded softly behind us, and he came into the plane of sight. Dark as it was I made him out for one, of Jones' men, and ray opinion was confirmed by the stealthy manner In which he proceeded.1 "We'll let him pass," I whispered, "and their 4onow him, Rustle police .are no harm, to us." ! Five minutes later we emerged and resumed our journey, diligentdy open- ing our ears to the sounds ot the night, but nothing., was audible to alarm us, 11.patit= we reaeiliedrut 4Gwnattolathste,awsspot sWaphere 1 between thick trees. Opposite, the dark bulk of a little jetty was just discern- ible and beyond that the lights of a house. "This is the place," said Sheppard. "But I see no signs of the others.. Yet they must have got here before us." "Let us wait," I suggested, and meaawhile we are better in biding!' We concealed ourselves among the trees and passed ten minutes in some anxiety, "Was it possible," I asked myself, "that Montgomery and, e Ser - combo had already encohntered Hood and his scoundrels, •with a tragic re- sult? Or, again, had Joneshappened upon them and taken Serconabe? Per- haps even the captain had been dealing treacherously with us all through." But these speculations were scatter- ed at the approach of voices and a noise of oars in the water, which here with a laugh.- "Hood's got a load ryi deep and wide, a mile from its aboard, and he's no thought of being junction with the Ray. We listened followed.

' • "We're not going to turn baek now. ' If that's your meaning, captain," I saki. "We only want to understand where we are and what we have to exiOct," "I think, Mr. Greatorex, that you may expect treasure," said Sercombe. sosso ss‘ was the noise of two people landing. "It's all right," I whispered to Sla2p. pard. "Here they are." And I was on the point of jumping up when I heard a new sound oppo- site, and a figure rose and stood in the pathway. As we strained our eyes At Sem/rate's feet was a prostrate figure. to make out what this might be I heard the approaching, feet of the others. Then somewhere out of the night these words floated to us: "Captain Ser- combe, 1 arrest you in the name of the rTeheenr.e" was a violent exclamatlea and the noise of a struggle and afterward a short cry and a horrid crack. Sheppard and I leaped to our feet and reached the path, where ten paces from the water stood. Sercombe and at his feet a prostrate figure. "What is this?" I said anxiously-. "Oh, you there, gentlemen'?" said Sercombe, puffing. "This knave would have ruined our whole venture. But I reckon 'I've given hina his stomach 111`141i7e's, you have," I said bitterly, bending 'otrer the man. "He's about done for." "Pooh!" said Sercombe. "Only struck his head on a log. He's all right. Don't vvaste.time over suCh swine." And he made for the boat, where I could ,per- reive Montgomery. I stopped him. "'Understand this, captain Sercombe," 1 said -"I am not here to -break innocent heads or to Ira= peril honest lives, and if, as you say and I hove, this poor man is not dead, I will have li/im taken where he can be cared for." , -Serconthe laughed harshly. "You are so • infernally particular, Mr. Great- orex. But bave_your way." "Very well," saki I; "then I will take bini over to the house yonder." We „carrhx1 the unfortunate plan aboard the boat and pushed her off, Montgomery punting to the jetty. There we landed' the body. Suddenly Ser- combe stopped. "This kis my affair," he said, "not yours. Yon won't be_ able to show your faces after this if °You're mixed up1n it. Besides, I may let definite pardeu- lars as to Hoed if I go up," He shouldered the unconscious form of the policeman as he spoke and de- parted, staggering under his burden. In a little he came back. "It's all right," he said easily. "I told the farmer that it was a friend of mine who had met with an accident, and he bas promised to Took after him till I return. I am to call in an hour's time." He laughed, "And I've found out that Hood left half an hour ago, having borrowed the old gentleman's boat. There's some good.in charity aft- er all." And once more he laughed. At the Word Montgomery and Shep- pard bent to the oars, and ,the nose of the boat shot downstream. CFrAPTER XXII. esg, ND now," said I to Montgom- ery, "please explain.
