She saw. as in 'a flash of lightning. the brilliancy and simplic~ ity and cunning of Henson's latest and mos: masterly scheme. CHAPTER mm. ~ After the first passionate of scorn Lord i.itumer looked at his visitor quietly. There was something almost amusing in the idea that Bell should attempt such a trick upon him. And the listener was thoroughly en- joying the scene now. There was quite an element of the farcical allow: it. In the brilliant light she could see Littl- ner’s dark, bitter face and the help- less amazement on the strong futures of Hatheriy Bell. And, meanwhile, the man who had brought the impossible situation about was calmly sleeping after his strenuous exertions. Chris smiled to herself as she thought out her brilliant coup. It look- ed to her nothing less than a stroke 0‘ genius, two strokes, in fact, as will be seen presently. Before many hours were over Henson's position in the house would be seriously weakened. He had done a clever thing, but Chris_s-aw he? '83 to a cleverer one still. ; leanwhile the two men were re- !

He advanced upon Bell with a quivering, uplifted arm. Chris slipped outoftheuhadeandstoodbetweenthe two men. .. “Dr.Dcllspeaksthetruth,"shesaid. And I am going to prove it." ' Littimer dropped into a chair and gave way to silent laughter. His mood had changed utterly. He lounged there. a cynical. amused man of the world Wu. "Upon my word. I am vastly obliged to you for your comedy,” he said. "I hope your salary as leading lady in Bell’s company is a handsome one. Miss Lee.” "Let us hope that it is more hand- some than your manners. my lord.” Chris said. tartly. "I beg to remark that l have never seen Dr. Bell before. Oh. yes. I have been listenin to your conversation. because I cxpec ed some- thing of the kind. The Rembrandt was stolen some time before Dr. Bell arri- ved here. and in due course I shall show you the thief. Lord Littimcr, I. implore you to be silent and discreet in this matter. Have a little patience. Quite by accident I have made an im- portant discovery. but this is hardly the place to discuss-it. Before daylight I hope to be able to prove beyond ques- tion that you have greatly wronged Dr. '-'I shall be glad to be convinced of it.‘ Littimer said. sincerely. "But why this secrecy?” “Secrecy is absolutely necessary for the conviction'of the thief." Bell looked eagerly at the speaker. “I have not the remotest notionlwho this young lady is," he said, “butI am greatly obliged to her.” “My secretary, bliss Lee." Littimer murmur-ed; “an American from Boston, and evidently a great deal cleverer than I gave her credit for, which is saying a great deal. Miss Lee, if you know anything. I implore you to speak." “Not here," Chris said, firmly. “Stone walls have ears. I tell you the Rem- brandt was stolen just before Dr. Bell reached the house. Also I tell you it is imperative that nobody but ourselves must know the fact for the present. You trust me, Lord Littimer?" "I trust you as implicitly as I do any. body.” Chris smiled at the diplomatic re- sponse. She approached the panel of the wall on which the Rembrandt had been fastened. She indicated the long steel stays which had been clamped on to the iron frame. “Look at them," . she said. “It was my suggestion that the gays should be attached to the frame to prevent anything like this ' robbery. I made the stays secure my- outbnrst self. And what happened to justify m! prudence? Why, the very same nrgnv. somebody came here after the pic ture." a “Henson!” Littimer cried. “All! But he could have come openly." “It is not in the nature of the man to do things openly,” Chris went on. “I know more about the man than you imagine. but that you are to keep to yourselnfiecomes hereinthedeadof the night and he gets into the house through an upstair window. A man of his bulk, here hot-foot and breathless at a time when common prudence should. have kepthiminbed. Why?

Chris said. quietly. "You told me you had to cut the margin of your print by an inch or no round to fit that quaint old frame. So far as I can see the print before you is quite intact. how. -if it is too large for the frameâ€"” Littlmer nodded eagerly. Bell fitted the dingy paper to the back of the frame and smiled. There was an inch or more to spare all round. Nobody spoke for a moment. “You could maketit smaller, but you couldn‘t make it bigger.” Littimer said. “Bell. when I have anmciently recover- ed I'll make a humble and abject apol- ogy to you. And now, wise woman from the West, what is the next act in the play?” CHAPTER xxxw. Chris smiled with the airof one who is perfectly satisfied with her work. “For the present I fancy we have done enough." she said. "I want to go to bed now. and I want you both to do thesame.AlsoIshallbegladifyou will come down in the morning as if nothing had happened.

I mean." "It was worked through an accom- plice.” Chris explained “It had to be , done before you arrived. And there was no better time than night for the operation. I guessed that when Henson drew the fact from me that I liked the terrace after dinner. By a bit of good 3 luck I found the accomplice and him- self together in the day; in fact. I forced Reginald’e hand so that he had to introduce me to the man." I “In which case you would know him i Wu?” "Of course. Presently I am gain to show you a little more of the comafdv : well. i was on the terrace pretty late - when I heard dear Reginald down the cliff calling for assistance.

I have learnt from one of the gardeners just now that Reginald placed the rope than himself â€"!a moat elective touch, you must ad- m 1." “Very." Bell said. drlly. "But I quite fail to see whyâ€"" “I am coming to that. Don't you see that if anything happened Reginald could prove that be was not near the house at the time? But Just before that I saw his accomplice come up the cliff; indeed. be passed quite close to : me on his way to the house. Reginald quite overlooked this fact in his heed for his own safety. When I had ef- fected my gallant reacue I heard an gwl hoot. Now. there are no owls about ere. "I guessed what that meantâ€"it was a signal of success. Then I went back to the corridor and the Rembrandt was gone. The stays had been cut away. At first :I was dreadfully upset. but the more I thought of it the more sure I was that it was all for the best.” . “But you might have raised an alarm and caught the thief. whoâ€"“ "Who would have been promptly disclaimed by Reginald.

And please treat Mr. Hen- son in the same fashion as before.

Nor was Littlmcr the kind of man who ever troubled himself to restrain his feelings. If he had got to tbe'bot- tom of the whole business he would have had Henson kicked out of the house without delay. But Littlmcr suspected nothing. His greeting just now showed that Bell aus- pected nothing. because he had shaken hands in the heartiest manner possible. And as for Miss Lee, she was no more than a smart Yankee girl. and abao lutely an outsider. Still. it was dreadfully puzzling. And it was not nice to be puzzled at a time when the arch-conspirator ought to know every move of the game. Therefore it became necessary to go into Moreton Wells and see Merritt without delay. As Henson crossed the hall the cheerful voice of Littimer hail- ed him. “Reginald," he cried, “I want your assistance and advice." With a muttered curse Benson enter- ed the library. Littlmer was seated at a table, with a cigarette in his mouth. his brows drawn over a mass of‘pa- pers. “Sit down and have a cigar," he said.
