Brooklyn, 550 dolâ€" Hunter‘s quick eyes had been at work, and as he had manipulated the gown he noted that a tiny pocâ€" ket book had fallen to the ground. Worn and well thumbed, it appearâ€" ed to he a calendar memorandum or some sort of diary. KHunter read a list of towns and sums of money in dollars. He fumbled with the springs and tapes, and then, with an exclamaâ€" tion, "Ah! I‘ve got it," the monkish gown furled itself up into a tight roll,. A twist or two produced the ferrule and handle, and in manner magical he saw what he held in his hand. The Green Umbrella‘! "A splendid ‘prop,‘ " he commentâ€" ed, "and one that confir=s my theaâ€" trical theory. He held in his hands the monk‘s gown. With his pocket torch he inâ€" apected it. It proved to be far from an ordinary cloak; and was queerâ€" ly attached with some stiffening steels and wires. "Lost him," he muttered, "but this is well worth having." Lithe as an eel, the man wriggled and Hunter felt the empty gown fall limply into his grasp. The Green Umbrelia There came the sound of tearing and rending and a muffled oath from the man as he braced himselft to prevent from being jerked upâ€" wards by Hunter‘s sudden grip. In a flash his quarry seemed to glean the fact that he was cornerâ€" ed, and hurled the lantern to the floor, leapt headiong down the steps to the caves. Quick as he was Hunter was quicker. He snatched and held the folds of the monkish gown. Gasping for breath, as the boistâ€" erous nor~â€"easter buffeted, Hunter pressed aside the clustering leaves and peered inside the dut. There was a moment‘s pitchy darkness, and then a light shone out as the stooping figure of the man in the cassock bent to light a lantern. Eagerly Hunter sought to obtain a glimpse of the heavily cloaked features underneath the cowl. Preâ€" sently his face close to the glass he tapped gently with his finger. The man inside instantly cloaked the lantern under the folds of his gown, turned to stare in the direcâ€" tion of the sound, and beheld a palâ€" lid face. With an involuntary ery of alarm the man stepped back and at that moment Hunter moved very swiftly around the tiny building and pushed open its crazy door. Gasping for bre erous norâ€"easter pressed aside the and peered inside The force of the gale beat upon him without mercy, and he had to hold tightly to the intertwined tenâ€" drils of the ivy. Creeping by the old ruined wall he made his way around the buildâ€" ing until he stood by the ivyâ€"coverâ€" ed window which faced the open Faintly from inside the building eame stealthy sounds of someone moving about. He hastened hrough the house and got by the door leading immedâ€" fately to the garden in front of the house. It was chilly and bleak, and the wind beat the rain down. He made for the summerâ€"house. _ He knew the path and the going was not so blundering as on the first night. In a few seconds he stood within the beaten ring. In that flash, however, Hunter started and gave vent to an exlamâ€" ation. "The old priest!" Last Link Azain the longâ€"drawn how!, and Involuntarily he stared out into the darkness.

West was not to be put off and he pressed forward. "Wouldn‘t understand what?" "See here, West. 1 don‘t wish to Benson tossed off a stiff peg of whiskey before he replied. His eyes were bulging, and a glistening cold sweat stood upon his forehead. ‘‘What do you mean, Benson? What can this idiot know about Syracuse? It‘s years ago, and this is England. We got away clear and clean. There wasn‘t the faintest suspicion which could connect that affair with us." West stared at Benson and Mcâ€" Clintock stared from ‘one to the other. "Well, don‘t you think it strange that this madman who broke in here toâ€"day should use the word ‘Syracuse‘ ?" "Syracuse?" echced Woest. "Sure, I remember. We bumped off those poor mutts in a dressing room at theâ€"Orpheum." ‘"We‘ve done well, haven‘t we? Take my advice and clear while the goin‘s good. There‘s more in this ugly guy than meets the eye. Do you happen to remember Syracuse, an‘ what happened there?" "What of this place â€" and the whisky still? Are you going to abâ€" andon the whole caboosh without a fight?" The tones of Dandy West carried such a sneer that Benson flushed. "Yes, quitting," snarled Benson, glaring at his compantons. "Anyâ€" thing to say to that?" Not A Suspicion "©T‘ll quit too," came the husky agreement from McClintock. "It‘s beyond the limits ‘of a normal risk â€" ghosts â€" dogs â€"â€" priests." "Get the dog ready to take out. The skipper‘ll be coming ashore by nightfall." "Quitting," whispered McClint ock. "Well, if it is, he‘s on the right side of the shutter," growled Benâ€" son. "I can‘t afford any risks now â€" I‘m about through with this here whiskey racket. A whole skin is worth a deal of money, and from now on I‘m for a clean getâ€"away. D‘ye hear?" A cowed silence greeted this outâ€" burst, and turning to the butler, he continued : Dandy West had been for many years a feared gunman of Chicago‘s worst racketeers, and he declared it was impossible that he could have missed his aim. So, ill at ease, they sat and disâ€" eussed the mystery. West had seen the men fall, yet by some means thiot bodies had disappeared. There was plenty of daylight outâ€" side, yet they took their meal with the lamps alight, for electricity or gas supply had not penetrated the wilds of Wintersea. A Deep Voice Sings West was for the twenticth time trying to make conversation about the missing bodies, when from outâ€" side, beyord the barred shutters, came the sound of a deep voice, singing in a flat tuneless voice, like a monk voicing a queer, old Gregorâ€" ian chant, *‘This is the law that shall be mine, This is the the law of equal giving; Death for death and blow for blow, From the unknown and from the unseen." The words trailed off with the flatly ending melody, and at a furâ€" ther distance the vyoice echoed, "From the unknown and the unâ€" seen." "It‘s that priest fellow," gasped West. Whoever they were, they had disâ€" covered the beach hut entrance in the caves, and, owing to West‘s luckily following in search of the limping priest, had surprised them, just as they had emerged into the open. This was the tale he had told Benson, but a subsequent search failed to give any support to his story. Matters were not going too smoothly. Where were the bodies of the three men that Dandy West had declared he had popped off? CHAPTER XVII Benson Sees Danger Althoush it was comparatively early in the afternoon, Benson‘s butler did a peculiar thing. He went round the house fastenint every window, examing every catch, and giving particular attention to the doors. The shutters all made fast and the doors all locked or doubleâ€" locked where they permitted it, he and his coâ€"scoundrels felt comparaâ€" tively safe. lars. Syracuse, 600 dollars."

"The Skipper‘s at sea and waiting for the signal." "I understand my own feelings. I tell you that death is about toâ€"night It came into this room with that creature." Dandy West allowed the sarcasâ€" tic grin on his face to die away. Perhaps he felt the reality of what Benson had said. Of all the men in the room he should have done so. "Say what you like, West.

McClintock wore the black, closely fitting costume which he donned to lead out the hound. Dawn broke wild, and jagged clouds scudded before the wind. A red dawn, and a wet dawn. "It‘s a sign, that‘s what it is," muttered another. "Whenever you see that little, old wicked cloud aâ€" floating over them cliffs it‘s a sure sign o‘ death, that it is." From afar, in that wild night, the customers of the Blue Lion, in the village of Wintersea, giued their eyes to the windowâ€"panes of the snug tapâ€"room. "Fair beats me," rumbled one voice. Then, bringing a lensinto focus, he snapped the jaws of a tiny are into position and the turn of a knob produced a faint hissing. The flutâ€" tering cloud above blazed pink, red and finally crimson.

The old song about "Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy," has lost some of its significance these days. She can buy a cherry pie around the corner and it will be so good that even Billy Boy wouldn‘t know she hadn‘t made it. But there is one thing she must be able to make and that is cherry jelly. There is no substitute for homeâ€"made jelly and Billy Boys all over the country will be disappointed if winâ€" ter comes and there is no cherry jelly sitting among the other jams and jellies in the cupboard. Of course in the days wlen the song was first sung, it would have been almost impossible for her to make cherry jelly because that was a good many years ago and bottled fruit pectin had not been invented.
