I will confess that the identification of that unmistakable lean body and black head filled me with a sudden disâ€" quietnde or which it would have been hard to give the reason. The very si- lence of the man sowed fear and mi trustinmy heart. And soitwastha! instead or breaking from our hiding place and seizing the impudent in- truder I put a hand on Montgomea and constrained him wm‘m me into the hmxpas‘same. We comedian ourselves in one of the side gallerie- stances in my excited mind, he stoop- ed, and, picking up the lantern. thrust it into the window, waving it from side to side. I suppose this was in re sponse to some signal from the valley, but I paid little heed to it at the time, being suddenly interested in a recogni- tion. It was Hood! the massive stone walls of the drum tower, scrutinizing the valley below. “What could he be there for? As I wondered. turning over the oil-cum A lantern, newly lit and shedding a dull glow through the opaque glasses, was set upon the floor and cast the long, black shadow of a man against the wall. He was standing near the short, deep embrasure that yawned in Here was one or our determined foes perambulating within the precincts of our hold, and even admitted to that privy place near which the board of treasure lay. Slowly and with great caution we followed. Our naked feet made no sound, but it was diificult to grope one’s way in the darkness. Our direction lay round the castle walls and toward the drum towers, and it was upon the flight of stairs mounting to the guardroom in the northern tow-' er that we came presently. The door at the top of this staircase stood ajar, and, proceeding with still greater care, we climbed up and looked through the chinks. I The blood in my body ran like a mill race. but left my brain clear and bright in eddies. I was not blind to the probabilities of this adventure, which had now stepped out of the supernat- ural and become merely human and prosaic. I waited a few moments, and then, stooping, shook of! my boots, bidding my companion do the same. That done, we stepped out into the corridor and plunged into the blackness of the night. cry, I drew back into the niche of that secret place.

The footsteps pattered l away into the distance. 5 detected in Montgomery’s roomâ€"the sound of delicate footfalls on the stone flags. Blowing out the candle and putting a detaining hand on Montgom- As this discovery flashed on me I heard once more the sound that I had “We must see the end of this,” said Montgomery, and hopped into the dark- ness like a frog. I followed. Below there was now silence; the footsteps had died away. The narrow flight in the wall continued for some thirty steps and brought us. as I reckoned, to the foundations of the castle. Here we were fetched up promptly by a blank wall or woodâ€"no doubt a similar encasement of oak as that in which the panel above was set. Groping about. we fumbled upon a latch and opened the door quietly. The candle flared I on the walls opposite. We were in the " dark'corridor leading to the treasure. . dirt. Within, the light shone upon a black hole and a dark flight of stairs leading downward. A careful inspection with the candle revealed a seam in the oak, which might mark the site of hinges, and to- gether we pushed firmly on the panel. It fell back slowly, being, as I found afterward, without lock or spring and merely held in its place by disuse and “What is behind this oak?” I asked. “There must be some passage here.” I sounded with my knuckles on the board. “It’s hollow.” Montgomery set his ear to. the wall. “That’s not rain,” he whispered. He was right; it was not rain; it was the noise of feet falling lightly upon stone. At once I took fire. I lay down upon the bed and rested. “There’s nothing to be heard,” said I. “Wait.” said Montgomery eagerly. A silence ensued. “Don't you hear anything?” he asked. I shook my head. “My dear boy, it was fancy,” I said and was raising my head from the pillow when suddenly a slight sound struck upon my ears, and I paused in the act and in the center of my speech. "I hear something now,” I said. “But it’s only the patter of ten 3” tt‘mstm'uecl from Page 8-.) world. and n’puulee he tflat helhould have taken thle Wm.

Then there fell silence 5 again, and presently an invisible per- ; son seemed to pass before me. I thrust : out my arms, and again a soft and j'slender form touched me gently, and there came the clang and clatter of a 9 knife upon the wall, pinning my coat ; sleeve to the woodwork; but upon that 5 there bore down upon us the sprawling ; form or MontgomerV. and two people were fighting upon the floor before me. Tap, tap, tap went the horrid knife up- Montgomery looked doubtful. “I don’t think so,” he panted; “but he was the very devil to tackle with that knife of his. I may have squeezed too hard. Something did crack, but”â€"-â€" “Good heavens, you have killed him!” said I. on the floor, and then silence again, broken only by heavy noises in the throat. With formidable fears in my breast, I struck a match, casting a thread of light upon the scene of the struggle. Hood lay in Montgomery’s arms, crumpled like a snake Whose back is broken, one hand (which held a knife) stretched inert along the floor, his head thrown back, his face white through its sallow discoloration, and his eyelids lowered over his strange eyes. soft sound, and a dagger whizzedvigst me and struck in the oak with a loud tang. I sprang forward, but my fist took the air. I Suddenly he started and lifted his I! head. It may have been that the door 1 creaked, or perhaps he caught the f sound of our breathing. All I know is Ithat the next moment, and just as I Montgomery leaped forward at a stride f upon him, he put out his arm and with f a swift movement overturned the Ian- ’ tern. The room was at once plunged ! in darkness, darkness so thick and l gravelike that it was incredible. Eter- ! nal night dwelt and brooded in those ! rayless dungeons, and she resumed her 1 empire greedily from that meek, usurp- ing candle. Montgomery’s rush carried him to the'corner where the boxes lay, but he encountered no one. Hood by 'some slippery movement had glided away, and where he was in the solid darkness neither of us could say. I gathered this from the silence that en- sued upon Montgomery's spring. I heard him pick himself up, and then there was a hush. I stood with my back against the door in a state of in- tense suspense. There came a slight l iuontgomery nodded and, cautiously ' approaching, pulled open the door in g the wall. Drawing himself up, he clambered through the space and slid down into the farther room, making wonderfully small noise for so huge a body. I followed. But Hood was not in the lower roomâ€"at least there was no light to pierce the utter darknessâ€"- and, moreover. I think we both knew that he was in the loft above us. To- gether we crawled up the steps and once more looked in through the friend- ly aperture of a door upon the chief of our bitter enemies. Hood, kneeling up. on the floor, was bent over the chests which contained the treasure. “We must take him tonight,” said I to Montgomery. “It won’t do to let him get out of range.” Montgomery nodded and, cautiously approaching, pulled open the door in .or at least his destination. He was bound for the treasure chamber in the keep and had probably come from there previously. Possibly it had been his hiding place. Here again my as- sumption proved correct, and we watched him open the cupboard in the wall and vanish like an expert, lantern and all, into the abyss. l I was right in my conjecture. to! g shortly atterwani we heard the re turning feet sound alone the stones. f He passed the end or our passage. : holding his lantern before him. and when he had disappeared we hauled out into the corridor and sped after him. Once we saw the spot or light that glowed in the vicinity of that shadow pause and waver. I dare say that some sound had caught his ear, and he turned and listened. We shrank into the protection of the wall until the footsteps had resumed their way.

But you have been a gentleman. sir, throughout, and I should be proud to have served you. I came with the party in the morning, sir.” in my mind as to the manner or his entrance into the castle. For all his dexterity and cunning, I could not see how, carefully watched as our fortress was, he had managed to gain admit- tance over the drawbridge and through the closed portcullis. At the question, which was delivered point blank. he turned his luminous eyes upon me and regarded me with a shifty smile, the shadow of a smile, betokening no amusement. Yet my conversation with Hood later was very commonplace and marked by no particular points. He kept his cus- tomary face of obsequiousness and gave me the briefest replies to my in- terrogations. I was specially exercised “I have my doubts whether we can even scotch him,” said Sheppard dryly and then dismissed the subject. “Montgomr-ry and I have occasion to know that,” I replied. “He is a snake- that is the substantive-41nd I doubt very much whether we can kill him.” To execute my scheme it was neces-‘ sary to see Sercombe. But first I] must pay a visit to the prisoner. who by the time we had arrived at a con-l clusion had lain in the blackness of that abominable dungeon for five hours. ' Sheppmd, indeed had been eager to interview him, and upon hearing of the capture had at once betaken himself to the keep. He was absent half an hour. but I did not inquire what he had been doing. I merely looked atl him interrogatively when he returned. i ‘ “hich he did wealing a graver face than was usual to him. Noting the inquiry in my glance, he shook his. head. i "That man is dangerous,” he said‘ “abnormally dangerous.” three and that I had merely oflered the suggestion as my contribution to the counsels of war. Upon that I add- ed the very cogent reasons which I had prepared in favor or my advice, and the end of the talk was that they ac- cepted the plans I unfolded. I was able after some argument to carry my point with the others. They had both a kindly fancy for the tight- ing and were inclined to take my an. nouncement in a chapfallen manner.
