Clarence Street, Kingston, - sind | {Continued From Our Last Issue) Antony tried to put himself in Cay. ley's place--Cayley, when Antony had first discovered him, hammering at the door and crying, "Let me In!" Whatever had happened inside the office, - whoever had killed Robert, Cayley knew all about it, and knew that Mak was not aside, and had not escaped by the window. But it was necessary to Cayley's plans---to Mark's pians if they were acting in concert--that he should be thought 80 to have escaped. At some time, then, while he was hammering (the key in his pocket) at the locked door, he must suddenly have remembered --with what a shock!--that a mis take had been made. A window had not been left open! And then Antony's sudden appear- ance] Here was a complication. And Antony suggesting that they should try the window! Why, the window was just what he wanted to aveld No wonder he had seemed dazed at first. 7 o- Ah, and here at last was the ex- planation why they had gone the longest way round--and yet run. It was Cayley's only chance of getting a start on Antony, of getting to the windows first, of working them open somehow before Antony caught him up. Even if that were impossible, he must get there first, just to make sure. So he had run. But Antony had kept up with him. They had broken in the window together, and gone into the office. Byt Cayley was not done yet. There was the dressing- room window! But quietly, quietly. Antony mustn't hear. And Antony didn't hear, Indeed] be had played up to Cayley splendid- ly. Not only had he called attention to the open window, but he had earefully explained to Cayley why Mark had chosen this particular win- dow in preference to the office win- dow. And Cayley had agreed that probably that was the reason. How he must have chuckled to himself! They wers outside on the lawn agin now, Bill and Antony, and Bill wes listening openmouthed to. his friend's theory of yesterday's 'bap- penings. It only gave them another mystery to solve. "What's that?" sald Antony. "Mark. Where's Mark? If he never went into the office at all, then where is he now?" "] don't say that he never went into the office. In fact, he must have gone. Edsie heard him." He stopped and repeated slowly, "She heard him-----at least she says she did. But if he was there, he came out again by the door." "Well, but where does that lead you?' "Where it led Mark. The passage." "Do you mean that he's been hid- ing there all the time?" Antony was silent until Bili had repeated his question, and then with an effort he came out of his thoughts and answered him. "We'd better make certain. Could you be a sleuth-hound, Bill~one of those that travel on their stomachs very noiselessly? I mean, could you get near enough to the pond to muke sure that Cayley is still there, with. out letting him see you?" "Rather!" He got up eagerly. "You wait." ' Antony's head shot up suddenly. "Why, that was what Mark said," he cried. "Mark?" . "Yes. What Kilsle heard him say." "Oh, that." "Yes . . « I suppose she couldn't have made a mistake, Bill? She did hear him?" "She couldn't have mistaken his voice, if that's what you mean." "Oht* » "Mark bad an extraordinary char acteristic voice." "Oh!" "Rather high-pitched, you know, and---well, one can't explain, but--" "Yea?" wr ---- A BONNIE BN NE NN tN, TH "Well, rather like this, you know, or even more #0 if anything." He rattled these words off in Mark's rather monotonous, highpitched voice, and then laughed, and added in his naturel voice, "I say, that was really rather good." , Antony nodded quickly. was like 1t?" he sald - - "Yes." He got up and squeezed Bill's arm. "Well just go and see about Cayley, and then we'll get moving. I shall be in the Ubrary." "Right." Bill nodded and walked off in the direction of the pond. This was glorious fun; this was life. The im- mediate program could hardly be bet- tered. To Antony, who was older and who realized into what deep waters they were getting, it did not seem fun. But it was amazingly interesting. It was lke looking at an opal, and discovering with every movement of "GOOD LORD! SAID BILL, TURNING ROUND WITH A START, "CAYLEY!™ if some new color, some new gleam of light reflected, and yet never real ly seeing the opal as a whole, His brain could not get hold of it. But there were moments when he almost had it... and then turned away from it. He had seen more of life than Bill, but he had never seen murder before, and this which was in his mind now, and to which he was raid to listen, was not' just the hot-blooded killing which any man may come to if he lose co It was something much more hor rible. Too horrible to be true. Thea let him look again for. the truth. He looked again--but it was all out of focus, CHAPTER XIV ILL had come back, and had re ported, rather breathless, that Cayley was still at the pond. They stood in front of the row of sermons. Antony took down the Rew erend Theodore Ussher's famous volume, and feit for the spring. Bill pulled. The shelves swung open toward them. "By Jove!" sald Bill, "it is a Dan row way." There was an opening about a yard square in front of them, which had something the look of a brick fireplace, a fireplace raised about two feet from the ground, But, save for one row of bricks in front, the floor of it was emptiness. Antony took s torch from his pocket and flashed it down into the blackness, "Look," be whispered to the eager Bill. "The steps begin down there. Bix feet down." He flashed his torch. up again. There was a handhold of fron, a sort of Iarge iron staple, In the bricks in front of them. "You swing off from there," sald Bill. "At least, I suppose you do I wonder how Ruth Norris liked doing it." "Cayley helped her, I shouM think. . . , It's funny." "Shall I go first?" asked Bill, ob viously longing to do so.

"Well, we'll Just make sure we can get back really we got stuck down here for the rest of our lives. He's got enough to do trying to find Mark, but if he has to find you and me as well" Antony sat down on the ledge of bricks, swung his feet over, and sat darkness again, so as to make sure where the steps began; thea re turned it to his pocket, seized the staple In front of him: and swung himself down. His feet touched the steps beneath him, and he let go. "1s It all right?" said Bill anxious "All right. I'l just go down to the bottom of the steps and back. Stay there." The light shone down by his feet. His head began to disappear. For & little while Bill, craning down the opening, could still see faint splashes of light, and could hear slow uncer tain ; for a little longer he could fancy that he saw aad heard them; then hy was alone. . . . Well, not quite alone. There was & sudden voice in the hail outside. "Good Lord!" sald Bill, turning round with a start, "Cayley If he was not so quick in thought as Aateny, he was quick enough in action. Thought was not demanded now.

"Ah, there you are," sald Cayley from the doorway. "Hallo!" said Bll, in surprise, looking up from the fourth volume of "The Life and Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge." "Have they fin- ished?" "Finished what?" "The pond," said Bill, wondering why he was reading Coleridge on such a fine afternoon. Desperately he tried to think of a good reason « + » verifying a qQuotation--an argument with Antony--that would do. But what quotation? "Oh, no. They're still at It Where's Gillingham?

Bill, deep in his book, looked up and said "Yes," and went back to it afin, He was just getting to the "What's the book?" said Cayley, coming up to him. Out of the cor ner of his eye he glanced at the shelf of sermons as he came, Bill saw that glance and wondered. Was there anything there to give away the secret? "I wes just locking up a quota tion," he drawled. "Tony and I had a bet about it. You know that thing ~about---er---water, water where, and--er--not a drop to drink."
