"Before wo go any. fadher," Dell
maid, after a long pauee, WE should
like to search the house from top tie
bottom. rye got a pretty sound
theory in my head, but I don't like
to leave anything to chance. "Wo
shall bo pretey certain to find some-
thing.'
"1 am entirely in your hands,"
David said, wearily. "So far as 1
e am capable M thinking out anything
it scents to me that we have to lind
the woman."
"Charchez le, female is a fairly
sound promise in a case Ince this,
but when wo have found the woman
we shall have to find the man who
is at the bottom of the plot. I
incite the man who is not only
thwarting the woman, but giving
you a pretty severe lesson as to tbe
.edvisabitity of minding your own
businoss for the future."
"Thee you don't think I am. being
Amide the victim of a vile consPir-

terplot by the man, who has not
quite mastered what the woman is
driving at, 13y placing you in dire
peril be compels the woman to speak
to save you, and thus to expose her
land,"
"Then itt that case I propose to sit
tight," David said_ grimly. "I am
bound to be prosecuted for robbery
and attempted murder in due course.
It my man dies I am in a, tight
,place."
"And if he recovers your antagon-
ist may be in a. tighter," Dell chuck-
led. And if the man gets well and

By Jove, Dell, it is a magnificent
piece of work. l've a special fanny

never saw one equal to that."
"And you never will," Dell replied,
"save 10 one instance. The picture
itself was painted in Rembrendt's

disalose the fact that 'The Crimson
Blind' was painted for a private cus-
tomer with a condition that the sub -
Rid should be engraved as well. After
ono ithpression had been taken off the
plate the picture was destroyed by a
careless servant. In a. sudden fit of
rage, Rembrandt destroyed the plate,
haying, they say, only taken one
impression from it."
"Then thero is orify,one of these en-
gravings in the world? What a
find!"
"There le one other, as I know to
my cost," Dell said, significantly.
"Until a few days ago I never enter-
tained the idea, that there were two.
Steel, you are the victim of a vile
conspiracy, but it is nothing to the
conspiracy which has darkened my
life.
"Sooner or later I always felt

I verily believe that you and 1 ore

the one man is at the bottom at the
two evils. But you shall hear my
story presently. What we have to
find out now Is who was the last
tenant and who is the present owner
of the house. Ali, this has been a
great day for me!"
Bell spoke exultingly, a great light
ehining in his eyes. And David sa-
piently asked no further questions for
tho present. All that he wanted to
know would come in thee. The next
reove, of course, was to visit the
agent of the property.
A smart, dapper little man, look-
ing absurdly out of place in an ex-
ceedingly spacious °Mee, was quite
reedy to give every information. It
was certainly true 218, Brunswick
Square, was to be' let at an exceed-
ingly low rent on a repairing lease,
and that tho owner had a lot more
Property in Brigton to be let On the
same terms. The lady WaS exceed-
ingly rich mei eccentric; indeed, by
asking such low rents she was doing
her best to seriously dimiaish her
income.
"Do you know the larly at on?"

'"Itlet personally," the agent aa -
mated. "So far as I can toll, the
property came into the present own-

"Would you take £5 for them?"
Bell asked.
"Gladly. Even if only to get

Dell gravely produced a Z5 note,
for which he asked and received a re-
ceipt. Then he and Steel repaired to
218 once more, whence they recover-
ed the Rembrandt, and subsequently
returned the keys of the houtto to the
agent. There ems an eh- of repress-
ed excitement about Dell which was
not without its effect upon his com-
panion. Tho cold, hard lines seemed
to have faded from Doll's face; there
was a brightness about him that add-
ed his already fine physical beau-
ty.
"And now, perhaps, you will be
good enough to expialn," David sug-
gested.
"My dear fellow, it would take too
long," Dell erred. Presently I tun'

tragedy of my life, You have doubt-

tiered, why I dropped out of the road

"At half -past seven, then. Noth-

"Spoken like a man and a brother.
We will dine, and 1 will tell you my
story after tho house is quiet. 'And
if I ask you to accompany me on a

"Not In rny present mood, at any

"Well, we'll try and avoid the lat-

for your satisfaction, 1 .may say
there is just the chance of a scrim-
mage. And now I really must go,
because I lieve any amount of work
to do for Gates. Till half -past seven

Steel lighted a cigarette and stroll-
ed thoughtfully homewards along the
front. The more he thought over
tho mystery the more tangled it be-
came. And yet he felt perfectly sure
that he wns on the right traek. The
discovery that bath those homes had
been furnished exactly alike at one
time was a most important one. Asa
David no longer believed that he had
been to No. 2/9 on the night of the
great adventure. Then he found him-
self thinking aboeit Ruth Gates's gen-
tle face anti lovely eyes, until he
looked up and Sew the girl before
Idin. •
"You—you wanted .to speak to

girl said, quietly. "I can't tell you

ret to tell. But believe me every.

"Because I am nothing of the

that you are "'hating loyally and

, She paused with a 'deep blush crim-
soning her face. "David caught her
hand, and it scaliest to him IOW a
moment, that She returned the pres-
sure.
"Let me help yam" he whispered.
'Only be my friend and I will for-

Sha gave hipi a long look -of her
