Brien I got to the station be was as good as his word, and, stimulated by Ilia ltlgh spirits, I entered busily into possible pians, in `vleich occupation we passed most of the journey. The twenty-four hours had passed uneventfully at the castle, but I found Montgomery on the watch and very eager. He had armed himself with a shotgun, which be dragged about with him very ostentatiously, and indeed I had some ado to prevent him sitting down to dinner with it. Sheppard bad been informed of his presence, and the two promised to be capital friends. Sheppard always had a way direct to the heart of new acquaintances and, with his indomitable gayety and his a exceedingly. impulsiS a energy, was 'it tractive to Montgomery. I myself was used with sincere respect, tempered by a little awe; but the boy showed imme- diate sigus of a positive affection for Sheppard. • That evening we held a council of war. And, first, Montgomery most be apparent to you that I ane playing a bigger game' tonight. The edrds are all against tae, and I must use all nay ,wits.

"Ely servants tell me," said be, "that there is a fiardeu at the Back of the , ..house, but I woulnn} t sweat to it, however, if you like to try, we'll light the way." But this was not to my taste, for I was in no humor to attract my pursu- ers by this druukon concourse witir lights. "I think," I said, "that your silent prayers would serve me better. And if you will snow me the garden I will make shift for myself: And be assur- -ed," said I, with great ceremony, "that it will remain one of the red letter days 'In mylifeto a bave e met so •oi rte a c t ons host as Lora 11'iuthorp and so genial a company as the present." The garden was black and silent when the door closed upon me, I liss toned for a few minutes, but could hear no sound save that of laughter from . the house. Then I scrambled among the bushes at the back of the house Aud presently came uppn a nigh wall. Climbing to the top of this with ditlieulty, 1 looked down upon a road, Ind, lowering thyself softly, I dropped upon the footpath. Right and left no one was visible, with which fact, much enheartened, I walked briskly away. I suppose 1 had gone about a mile among the maze of roads when I at last happened upon a hansom and drove to a hotel. No sign of my enemy was vis- ible, and for all I knew or eared they were still watching outside Lord Win- thorp's windows. . CIIAPTEFt VIII. OW that I bad given my pursu- ers the slip I was confident tbat I should not be at further trou- ble with them for the present, for once I and my parcel were out of their sight for any space of time there -could be little doubt in their minds that I would accept the chance to dispose of It. But, as a matter of fact, I did noth- ing of the kind. The document would be of little use deposited in some Lon- don safe. It might be of considerable ,value down at the castle. I still hug- ged ug.ged my secret in my pocket and, hug- ging it, set out next morning to Sed Sheppard, I caught him upon his re- tturn about midday and opened the sit - Meilen to him over lunch. It did nee good to see his eyes sparkle at the rec- itation. "Why, this is the seventeentb century .at least, Ned," said he in his excite- ment. "A treasure, buccaneers and a lttgh handed, murderous gang! Do I stand on my head or my heels'?" And he smacked his thigh in sheer joyous- ness. "Thiel is well enough," I replied, "but you forget that it is no cbild's play. ,.rhis is mighty serious, if I have a no - Mon of tie men, and we must face the mese pretty brazenly and boldly if we :decide to go forward." " He sprang from his chair. "My dear fellow, you amaze me," said he.

The bare facts took away his breath and In- spired hire appareutly more with a de- sire for bloodshed than for the treasure itself, "I can tell you ibis, Mr. Sheppard, that if I sight either of the scoundrels witbin shooting' range I,11 empty both barrels lute them on the off chance. And of that I'll give 'em warning." "Bravo!" said Sheppard, slapping him ou the back and smiling his pleas- ant smile. "You're the man for my money, old cock!" "And now," I resumed, "we are brought front to front with affairs. We have half the draper. How are we to get possession of the other?' "It is plain euough," said Sheppard, "that one of those fellows, Sercombe or Hood, has it --Hood for choice, and a prehty scoundrel he Must be, Irom tits you say of him. You must introduce inc to your friend hood. I bave a fancy for Hood." As it fell out be had an earlier chanee of the acquaintance than either' of us anticipated. Shortly after breakfast on the following morning the maid brought me word that Captain Ser. combo was in the library and begged to see me. "Here is a pretty piece of impu- dence," said Sheppard, smiling. "Cons found the man, but I like him: By all means let us bave him up." lie looked at me. "Not at all," said I, "but since there is nothing to steal in the library save some hundreds of musty volumes, let him wait upon our pleasure." "And my toe," growled Montgomery, assuming a ferocious expression. "No, no, my dear Incl,"' said Shep- pard, with his gentle and insinuating smiles "You are too forward, too pre- cocious in your arguments. Let us bag the captain, whom, I confess, I am dying to see well basted, but let it be ,b r.m*re diplomatic processes." "Very well, come on," said I, rising, for, to say the trutb, I was curious to, know the man's business with me. We descended In file into the library. Ser- eombe, Who was staring- out of the Whitlow and curling his mustache with an air of abstraction, turned rapidly and, putting his heels together, gave me a military hew. "Ab, here is my young friend of the Mardi" he exclaimed lightly, nodding briefly 20 ;Montgomery, Who fixed a stollyl rind semewhat glowering glance upon him. Then bis eye fell on Shete pard, whom he observed with. dispas- sionate curiosity. "I was in hopes to have met yon alone, Mfr, Greatorex," with ei tittle hesitation showing in his voice. "These aro my friends," said I, "front "whore I halo no secrets." ' + WINWIAll TINES, APRIL 26 9Ot' Sercombe stared, sonlewhat discoln- posed by this deliverance, but, recover.

"To. be brief, Ur. Greatorex," he said, "I have come to strike a bargain with you.

For my part I am quite will- ing to give mine as a burglar." Sercombe flashed a glance of annoy- ance at hint. "Will you be more explicit?" said I. "1 thanglit you took me," said he, "It's plain enough. Let us piece the (imminent together, read it and start fair on the knowledge. Thnt places us again on equal terms, only with this difference, that the best man wins. Whereas now a man may be Satan lim'elf and fail till the crack of doom." Sheppard threw an eager glance at me, and I read assent in it.

"I agree," I said. Sheppard whistled softly and, as if imitating the captain, leaned forth up- on the window. A light of satisfaction played in Sercombe's gray -green eyes for an instant. As for Montgomery, I do not suppose that he had any clear notion of what it was all about. "Then," said Sercombe, "the sooner the better, and what time better tban today?" "I agree to today," 1 replied. "Good! And now there remain only the place and time," saki be. "I bare no wish to have my heal broken," said I bluffly, "or to be nes. taken fol;,it hare, and so I say the eon tle. If you grant that, 'you may its your own time." "I was in hopes,", he said, smiling, for he took no offense at my plainness of speeeb, "that we might bare set- tled the matter over a little dinner. Hood, an excellent host, I find, is anx- tous to show you what the Woodman Can do when he spreads himself. And a full stomacb, warmed with wine, is better for business, as my young friend here knows. But you shall leave it your own way." "By all means Jet it be a dinner," said Sheppard, suddenly springing up from his seat. "Mr. Greatorex, I ant sure, would be loath to rob you of stout pleasure, Captain Sercombe, and Sn his name I make bold to offer you the hos- pitality of the castle." I started iIi amazement and opened My mouth to refuse, but was saved the trouble by the etiptain's answer. He was a good (teal discoverted.

He hesitated, and thee, centring slight- ly, "I am not alone," salsa he. Sheppard spot me a glance of tri- umph, as who would say, "I thought we should corner him" "No doubt Mr. Greatorex would gladly entertain the other gentleman," be suggested. The captain looked at him, and a grin spread slowly over his features. ZYM Ty hes side stood Rood. "No," be said; "but; with Mr. Oreatq- tex's permission, the other gentleman shall eutertaiu us." "I fancy," he continued, smiling, "that Hood is not a stranger to the castle ways, and he makes a good wait- er." The idea tickled me. "Let us have Hood by all metes," I said. "1 bad an excellent character for flim. from Mr. Kesteven." "1 will bring hood," said the captain gravely and, taking up his hat, made to go. The dinner was set for 7 o'clock, and I fancy that all three looked forward to it with considerable expectation. Sercombe arrived punctual to the hour, and a little later I entered the morning room to meet him, He sat in a chair, lounging very cozily, a light overcoat covering itis evening dress, and by his side stood hood, also in the orthodox costume and looking, as I could not help noticing, uncommonly spruce and servant-like. "I am bore, Mr. Greatorex, to the • moment,"said Sercombe in his leisure- ly voice, "and I go bail that I have brought you an Iuvalu: 'ate nIly. With your permission, hood . '111 now retire to the kitchen." The innkeeper Inst. 'Sly straight- ened himself, standing t.: attention like a graven image, and 1 l.igned my as- sent. "This is entirely yoar affair, Captain Sercombe," said I, "and you may do 'what you like with your ou u proper- ty." I turned to hood. "You will find Mrs. Main In the servants' hall," I Said. With bis gliding, serpentine tread, Iloocl made a motion of respect and vanlihed. Sercombe stared after him, meditating, and gnawed his mustache With a frown, which seemed to me to indieate a certain touch of perplexity. But he brightened at Ouse and talked Very freely and in his old manner till dinner was served. The interior sig- nificance of our dinner party would not bave been visible to a stranger. F'br the main part, that preliminary skir- mish was occupied by conversation the most distant from the subject we all had at heart. It was Sercombe himself who set the example of reserve, and we tamed meekly enough. When 1 say reserve I am thinking only of one particular point, for heaven knows that bis tack Was su1lielently frank upon other topics. AS had oceasi0n to 4te not now Olid subsequently, the mart =_ taas by miatuee framed for a good taik• - et', and, :although he had every preju- diee against him, and started, se to Speak, with a great liandieep, by seoln wore down the feelings with which we embarked upon the entertainment. And it was not until we bad broached a sort of goon fellowship and the even- '1ng was far spent that anything hap- pened to near our growing harmony. It fell out thus: Sereombe himself had just concluded an amusing narra- tive of bis experiences among the brig `rods of Calabria, and Sheppard re - tamed the conversation with en ad- venture of his own. Tiro evening Gad fallen 'dem'k and cloudy, and amid the starlike candies chat illumined the room the dark: figure of hood moved aolselessly and constantly. I had 9eard this story of Slleppard's, which, indeed, was not very exciting, and my. mind, straying from its polite duty, rested ulteonsci0usly upon tite new inu- eeper, As I watched him I saw the !leo uion exchange glances -an biter - Mating look upou Sereombe's part, a baffling and inscrutable look from Rood. There followed an instant's pause, and thea the ivall approached the master with the pretext of a dish. Sercombe spoke low and across his shoulder, nervously exploring the con- tents of the dish with a spoon. IIood said aothlug and, raising his eyes, soft- ly oftly llxed thein upon the at the other end of tate table. Por a moment we regard- ed each other Iuminously, and then his glance fell politely away. Sercombe still whispered and, I thought, with o. growing anxiety. It was bine for me to interfere. "Captain Sercombe," I cried sharply, breaking upon the tail of Sheppard's yard, "{hese communications are not included in the compact." The captain started, and his face red- dened sleeper, but he was always, a cool hand. "I must ask you to remember, Mr. Greatorex," said he suavely, "that 1 am your guest." "That is true," said Sheppard, nod - ding o -ding hes head. Sereommne Molted at me with some asperity. "I think, sir," said be, "that in the rh'cumstanees you well SCO that you have overstepped the privileges of gen- tlemen, ' "TIle word is hardly in the ease, I think we are agreed that it is as thieves we meet," interjected Sheppard smooth- ly, "You are right, Captailt Sercombe," 1 answered, being in my turn in com- mand of myself, "and I offer you my apology for the rudeness, but I am at least the master of my own servants, incl Hood shall keep his distance and not hang about alllioyhlg my guests." With which I' ordered him forthwith to the window, a comtnand which he has- tened to obey almost by anticipation. I must say that this unpleasant epi- sode at once changed the atmosphere of the room. On the whole, I did not regret this, as.: eoueeivcd that we had perhaps reached the proper terra of our familiarity with Sercombe. It wan strange to see the instant revolution in our mutual attitudes. Whether Ser - combo himself had been as easy as he had previously seemed, or whether he had aeted a part for our benefit, I can- not say, but it is certain that now he was charged with auriety. Now and again his eyes, puffed and bloodshot, flickered uneasily on hood, where the man stood in his corner, a memorial of black sobriety, and his demeanor was carefully under restraint. The situa- tion became a little disagreeable, and I thought the time had arrived to end it, "Cart:lits Sercombe," I said, -quite formaiiy, "I fancy omitdii finer, such as it is, Is over, and if you will take no more whore perhaps we had better get to business." "Certainly, sir," said the captain eiteerf1111y and draining his glass. "I am at your service." I looked at flood, "It is time now," said I, "that we were alone," And I waited to see the man move. A quick exchange of glances took place between. them, and then the inn- keeper turned his back ou us and bus- ied himself with the plates upon the sideboard. Sercombe colored angrily and was visibly disconcerted. "I beg your par- don, sir," said he, with a slight stam- mer, "but I have already had the honor of informing you that I am not alone•in this matter." "Really," said Sheppard gently, "I do not think we can invite our servants to discuss this matter with us." Sereombe bit his lip, and after a glance at Hood, who still kept his atti- tude, "I understand your feeling, gen- tlemen," he replied, "acid, in fact, I sympathize With it. But' -- Ile hesitated, and I began to perceive for the first time how far he was in- volved with the Other and to what ex- tent he was under his control. It was evident that he Was chagrined by his position. "Leave the room, Flood," said I, not that I liad any certain intention that he should quit us, but rather out of curiosity as to what would 0115110. The issue surprised me. flood turned obe- diently on his heel and made for the door. As it Closed upon him Sercombe turned to us and broke out with ere- barrassmentl "You are right, gentlemen. I agree with you. These things are better managed between gentlemen, But"--- Ilis perplexities struggled in evidence upon his face, yet he had tut nncom- lnan gift of recovering himself, which I had had Occasion already to admire. and I was to admire him still more at 4• • , bllli,,+ d. 4,rlayNXA,, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy 1S UNEQUALED .PDR oughs, Colds and Croup.

I take it, therefore, that we are no longer here in the capacity of hosts and guests," "True," said I. "Then," he exclaimed triumphantly, "Hood, I take it, is no longer a serv- ant?"

"Gentlemen, let us show our cards," he said. There was a momentary silence, and then I was conscious of a alight bus- tle of excitement that stirred the room into sound.

"That is a very proper demand, Cap- tain Sercombe," I said, "seeing that it is what we are here for, but I hardly yet see my way clear to table all my tricks. Let us understand one another better."
