We have on hand for investment or: gut mortgages on (ll CHAPTER IX. 08 will remember, If I have been explicit enough, that the entrance to the castle lay across the drawbridge and by way of a great stone archway running through the width of the easterly wing. This passage, which was not more than ten feet across, was In effect a vault twenty feet high and thirty feet long. It was here that the noise attracted me, and into this narrow channel I pery cobble or the courtyard in my haste. A: I roee a man grappled with me; but, being now strung to fighting pitch by my excited antlelpntlons, I flung him heavily to the stones, where he lay inert. and I leaped over his body to the assistance of Sheppard. Sercombe broke out laughing, and with one glance at Hood, in which, as I thought, he appeared to offer a ques- 'tion, he marched out of the room. The innkeeper followed, and Sheppard went after them, full of geniality to the last and calling for Captain Sercombe's cloak. Out of the window I saw them pass under the dim light of the oil lamp before the doorway. and Shep- pard was still ushering them across the courtyard to the gateway ot the castle. Suddenly I heard my name called in a loud voice. and Montgomery started to his feet and threw open the win- dow. This gave upon the courtyard from the northerly side of the castle. In an instant I recognized the cry of Sheppard, piercing shrilly through the noise and clatter of a struggle. Shout- ing to Montgomery to follow me, I dashed out of the room and down the staircase, almost tailing upon the slip- “At least,” said Sheppard, “as scoun- drels we can respect each other.” “Ah," smiled Semombe, In no way abashed by my hesitation. “it is a pit! you and I are not cast for companions. Mr. Sheppard." He held out his hand. but ere I could accept 'or refuse it Sheppard sprang forward. “Allow me, captain." he “Fish!” he exclaimed li'ghtly. “We can't make an omelet without break- 1ng eggs, Mr. Greatorex. And now I must reluctantly wish you goodby. I owe you an excellent dinner. and if for- tune favors me I shall look forward to returning it. There is no need to part on bad terms." “There is one word more," said I sternly. “The man who stole ’ this piece of paper from its owner is moral- ly guilty of his death.” now the whole document of the late Mr. Kesteveu in your possession I wish you joy of it." “You are welcome," I said. “It you will write I will dictate.” And forth- with, pen and paper being fetched, we proceeded upon the odd task. When we had finished he gave a look at Hood, who joined him. and the two pored over the sheet together. Then Sercomhe rose and, putting the paper in his pocket, remarked: “You see I have trusted you, Mr. Greatorex. I take your word. And as you have sir 9" At this point, as you will remember. the document grew illegible and noth- ing but the blur of taint characters was discernible. ‘But’we had all that was necessary in that explicit: narra- tive of the dead Cavalier, and in proof of this up jumped the captain. his green eyes shining with emotibn, and-â€" “Turning this corner, it is necessary to proceed upon the western side of the ‘ castle for the spaée of thirty footsteps, . and at the close thereof to pause and . survey the walls.

"You will give me : it?” he asked sharply. I nodded. “And here is how ye shall and the ~ treasure: If ye will descend by the stairway in the guard room within the northern tower ye will find a gallery I among the donjous of the basement ' Keep upon this, feeling upon the walls. until ye shall touch the corner where the castle turueth to the sout "â€" 0 1 Now I paused for a mement. for here ' the document which Sercombe had 81“! ' en me was ended. I cast a glance at the others as I laid it aside and took i up the other portion. Sercombe’s face 9 was appalling in its marks of greed. i The vulture shone from Hood‘s eya. I resumed: l THE ADVENTUBEBS ontinued from page two) a copy 9! that. mind.” I answered. “And if all are ' “They do that." said Montgomery l fiercely. “One devil has pierced my' ‘ stomach through." "‘Let us go back to the house," I said and. setting the example, turned. Sheppard's light went out. and as the flame vanished the blue-black darkness fell like a pail again. We walked back into the castle. “What about this wound. Montgom- ery?" I asked anxiously. The boy stood up straight. his well cut face severe and immobile. “It's no wound." he rejoined. “A pin prick." “Oh, well, let us see." I said care- iessiy. He stripped oi! his shirt and coat. and a great red bulging spot met my eye below the breast. Sheppard put his lingers on it. ‘That wants a bandage." he said. and. meeting my eyeâ€"“no, there's not!» lngmuchinit. Anastypiambut merely superficial." “We'll have old Toma one tomc- row.” I said. “The doctor?” queried Sheppui. “But what about”â€" “Oh. I dare say we can compose some sortotlie.

I am In no mood for bed.” “Nor I," declared Hontgomery. ‘ “Very good," an Sheppard. “then what nbont this became?” “Precisely what I was thinking.” I Montgomery breathed like a black~ smith. “It was a mean trick." he observed. An acute pain struck suddenly through my shoulder. “The foreigners use their knives aptly." I remarked. “First blood and first honors," he said. Sheppard struck a' match. and the tiny flame cast a precarious light upon the three of us. Two streaks of blood crossed Sheppard’s forehead. As Sercombe's figure faded black!) 11.0 the night I turned and peered into the gloom of the archway where my companion stood. 'It was fortunate that I had made so ‘ complete a study of the castle. I found 'the crank I wanted and turned the ; wheel. putting forward all the strength I had in my muscles. Slowly the i mighty portcullis descended, shrieking as it tell. but this. as I had hoped, fol. lowing upon iiu- r-1mrt of my revolver. and accompanied as it was with Mont- gomery's continuous and powerful ‘ blows. proved the turning: polnt for out , enemies. As the groaning gate dc ‘ scended there were cries uttered in a foreign tongue. and a rush ensued for the gateway. Leaving the machine tc revolve by its own impetus. I flew down into the archway. Sercombe ‘ stood in the light expostulating. Mont- .gomery's weapon stretched some one ' flat upon the stones as I entered. and the man crawled on'. I fired another cham- ber of the revolver aimlessly, and the .' flash lit up the passage while tht , sound reverberated dully from the 7 grained vault. The portcullis fell low- ; er and Sercombe was driven across the ‘ drawbrldge by his retreating allies. “Dead or living. they shall have him.” said some one in my ear. and I beheld Sheppard, his face smeared with blood, dragging a body in his arms. Togeth- er we thrust it forth. and it lay half- way across the threshold. The port- cullis dropped inexorably and was now within a foot of the ground. The man lay under the range of its iron spikes. The wheels creaked above. and the distance shortened. Montgomery ran forward and shoved the body outward But it still hung halfway. And then Sercombe came rapidly back and. stooping. by a swift movement drew the inanimate form from beneath the iron spikes of the drawbridge. He said no word. but merely glanced at us as we stood behind the grille. “Let us no the ptpers," said he. ilwuconsclomthenotwhiheteeth ’nndagrotesqnescrewneek thatroee {up betoreme,andevenwhllelpntup myhandatochokeltlteltthewnrm 53th; of n knlfe in my shoulder blade.
