I had quite finished.” “Then it you have been successful, Captain Sereombe," said I as pleasant. lyashimselt, “Ithinkwohad better understand each other at once." A slight smile rufled his pal: race. but he kept his hand 1am hiding Montgomery sprawled upon the table in a drunken sleep. He held one hand in his tightly but- toned coat and looked at me with a watchful eye. “This is very regrettable, Mr. Great- orex,” he said. The apology sounded so ludicrous in my ears that I broke into a tiny laugh and thereby relieved myself. The time for action was come. What was Hodd’s business there? I asked myself the question without the assurance of an answer. There was re- ally but little to arouse my suspicious, and yet I was agog with curiosity. I entered the castle courtyard and open- ed the door ot the dining hall. The first object that met my eyes was Mont- gomery sprawling upon the table and stertorous with drunken sleep. Plates were laid for two, and empty bottles upon the table testified to a generous lunch. Leaving him for a moment, I ran upstairs and pushed open my door silently. As I did so there was an ex- clamation, and I entered and came face to face with Captain Sercombe. The fact astounded me, thrilled through my warm limbs to the very marrow of my bones. And yet it seem. ed too absurd to be accepted on the spur of a moment’s fancy. I stood pondering in a state of excitement and then, hastily turning about, ran In the direction of the castle. body. I had seen the man disappear in the same turtive fashion upon the banks of the stream in the valley be- low, and what had then arrested my vague memory now also again attack- ed it, but this fime with certain knowl- lace. “That will be unnecessary. sir. assure you,” he. rem, “I tear I m a. bad hand at crib cracking.” Th. climate-y of the man aligned 1e. butlshowednothlnginthetm edge. This was the man who had been with Mr. Kesteven upon the day on which I had first encountered him In the wood. The next instant I had recognized Hood. There was nothing very remark- able in this, but what moved my blood was a more curious recognition. Swift as the flight or a swallow there darted into my mind the recollection of an- other vision. I identified the memory. It came back upon me with an odd sense of perplexlty and a still stranger feeling of fear where and when I had first encountered that lean and stealthy As it was early and I was in no mood to face Montgomery all at once, I struck into the shrubbery and saun- tered quietly along the pathway. Sud- denly at a bend before me and slipping softly round the elbow I beheld the figure of a man, but it was gone ere my senses were fully awake in that sultry afternoon. I stood still a mo- ment, stirred somewhat strangely, and then ran quickly to the corner. Peer- ‘ ing round, I caught slght ot a figure stealing among the shrubs. It paused a moment and then, as it seeing to me, slipped stealthily through the bushes and disappeared. the hill. A pathway ran circuitously through this growth of laurel and box, evidently of comparatively recent ori- gin, and winding by several pretty spots, bordered with the rivulet, final- ly emerged upon the boundary of the park and joined a cross track from the gateway by a leafy avenue of limes. man, Williams, I walked back by way or the park, skirting the western wing at the building. Upon this side, as I have said, lay a dense shrubbery. through which the little brook stream- ed over its pebbly bottom to the W9.- terfall upon the southern decllvity of As I drew near the park gates it wanted a little of 4 by my watch. The sun beamed sharply overhead, and the great ilex by the stone pillars of the gateway threw a black blot of shadow across the drive.
