what Happened was this: I suddenly

I paused and waited, but the valley
(for we were now winding luto the bot-

for the purling stream in the distance.
Slowly and cautiously I pushed on -and

to abandon the pursuit. Retracing my
steps, I climbed up to the road and re-

"What is he about?" I asked.
"Apparently on the same errand ae

I considered. "We'd butter go back,"

Ilaif an hour went by in this way,
and then n 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-

make them out distinctly, but one I

As luck had it, we did not find Jones,
who had returned to Raymond very
early in the morniug, but had been
hastily summoned back into the Gwent
after breakfast. IIo 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
turued the horses homeward and,
climbing the rise beyond the river,
clattered down luto the forest.
We had ridden halfway to Llanellan
when Montgomery's mare fell lame,
and he dismounted to examine her
shoe. As he was engaged. for some
time in the occupation, I ?lulled my nag
