Front Triekey he learns that Sir Dudley made an appointment with Glenis ter to meet him on the estate, and that Glenister had not been seen alive since. Meanwhile Sir Dudley is holding— KATHLEEN GLENISTER * and her lover. Norman Slater, in prison. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "You can jump on my feelings so long as you don't shove me in quod." 'Then just one little question. You took your wife over as damaged troods to oblige a gentleman, didn't you?" Mr Simon Triekey rasped his stubbly chin with unclean finger nails. For an Instant his scowl seemed to presage revolt. He ended by solemnly winking at his inter locutor She wasn't a cinema star wnen 1 she did me the honor to accept my | heart and hand. ' he replied with sly | suggestion. “Quite a nice little al | lowance paid quarterly she had. but 1 who paid it I haven't the remotest Is time you're strolling along Lips combe Road.” [ ' CHAPTER XXII The Room Downstairs f TVTORMAN SLATER did not re | is cover his senses till the small hours of the morning, and then | for a long while only In the 1 sketchiest fashion In his war ex i perience he had been gassed on one I occasion and burled in a shell-hole 1 for half a day on another, and his 1 present sensations reminded him of § both His head was splitting, his 1 throat was parched and his limbs 1 were so cramped that movement was | almost denied him. Xot a ray of light shone on his | misery I By degrees remembrance came back, up to the point when he had succumbed to superior numbers and | a most potent anesthetic in the [ keeper’s cottage From that his mini worked backwards to the I events of the day before and what 1 had led up to them. He groaned in 1 despair—not for his own plight, but I because he feared for Kathleen. At first he had not the faintest notion where he yas. The sound of running water gurgling close by presently gave him a clue to his whereabouts, and at last the breaking of dawn on an Iron-grated aperture high up in the wan of his prison confirmed it. His treacherous captors had car ried him to the deserted mill across the stream and had fastened him to » wall in the basement. As the light grew stronger he was sure of this. That pile of rotting sacks in the cor ner must once have held golden grain reaped in the pleasant countryside which he would never see again. His gloomy meditations were dls turbed by the grating of a key and the opening of the door of his prison. Judith Orime8 entered, bearing a basin of porridge and a Jug of milk She went o&t as silently as she had come, a gaunt and forbidding figure with her scanty gray locks and angu lar shoulders. j The food and drink restored hk body and mind to something ap proaching the normal. He was straining his bonds pain fully when once again the door of his dungeon swung open. He sank down again In a shiver of disappoint ment and disgust. It was Sir Dudley Glenlster who swaggered Into the nolseaome Hole Jingling coins In hla pocket and exuding triumph in every pore of his great, coarse body. •'Well, toy bold hero, you've bitten off more than you can chew." the baronet Jeered the helpless man. Norman made no answer. Where was the use? He was not going to plead to the bully for mercy. "Sulking won’t help you." the ruthless voice resumed. "The sen tence of the court has been pro nounced and no defense will prevail. Tonight, my dear Slater, an accident Is going to happen to this ancient ruin. It is going to be utterly de stroyed by fire. But before the flames catch hold I shall call again with a hunting-crop and repay with lntereet the dressing-down you gave me In Cadogan Garden. Makes your flesh creep, eh?" If it did there was no sign. Nor -WELL. MY BOLD HERO. YOU’VE BITTEN OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW ** man preserved silence, gazing up at the dissipated face with weary scorn. “There is Just a chance that you jmay be spared the degradation of be ing thrashed as well as burned," the husky voice went on. “That rests with your lady-love, who is my guest on the upper floor. If she consents to become my wife she will be spared the flames and you will be spared the whipping. You will burn anyhow, as I have no other means of stopping the fuss you would make." I The threat fell flat, so far as any ! outward show went. 1 "I am now going up to present my j terms to Kathleen," Sir Dudloy cert j eluded. “I hope I have made it clear ‘ that it rests with her whether yvu I are flogged In addition to being crc } mated.” j He went out. iocktng the door be i hind him.

"That you, Wragge?” "I was hoping to reach the Towers before you, air, but I have hod a very busy day.” the inspector replied respectfully. “Jump up alongside the chauffeur. It will save you half a mile,” said the great man affably. On arriving at the house Mr. Colne at once ted the way to his study. “Now, what does this mean?" he stood up and faced the detective. "I had your message In Downing Street and hastened here at once. You have found the letter written by Sir Dud ley Glenister to his cousin?" "Not the original, sir." replied Wragge. "Aa I told you. that was hopeless from the first. But I have got <t man who took a press copy of It. which he will produce, and In the meanwhile he has Informed me of the contents." "Which were?" snapped the cabi net minister. "Sir Dudley made an apopintment with Mr. George to meet him at Beechwood on the 7th of June two years ago. the Inducement being that Dudley would put up the money to run a gold mine which George had discovered near Lone Wolf City in Montana." Mr. Colne looked hard at the in spector. "This is genuine, Wragge?" he said after a pause. "You didn’t have to write the letter yourself to save your bacon?" "Sir!" rejoined the Scotland Yard officer, and there was a world of vir tuous protest In his tone. “Then I fall to see the urgency ..». which caused you to drag me iron my public duties in London,” sail' Mr. Colne haughtily. "Why don’t you go and arrest your man? The case is complete.” Wragge dropped his eyes under the rebuke and raised them again at the grudging compliment. "I am sorry to have disturbed you. sir, but In the chief commissioner s opinion the case is not quite ripe for an arrest,” he replied suavely. “I have been In communication with Si Donald at the Yard this afternoon. I is a question of the date—the 7th c * June two years ago. We shall hav to prove that Sir Dudley Glenist* • was at the Grange on that day or. '. was therefore in a position to hr killed his cousin if the latter kept H • apointment made in the letter. As neighbor and friend of the Glen is" family we thought that you might i> able to help us—if you were spendin the week-end covering that date o' the Towers. It was Sir Donald who made the suggestion.” The Right Honorable Stephen Colne was very angry now. ’’Sir Donald Is an Idiot,’ he blus tered. ’’And you. too. Wragge. for acting on such folly. How can I re member where I was on a certain day more than two years ago?” "Of course you couldn't, sir,' re plied Wragge humbly. "But your secretaries or someone might have a record.” Mr Colne s wrath was blazing to white heat, for nearly a minute ren dering him speechless. "What would that avail?” he hec tored. "It Is Sir Dudley Glenister you have to pin down for that date— not me. Supposing I was at thy (Towers on the 7th of June that yer.r j it wouldn’t be evidence against bin unless I had seen him. and I cannot recall that. The chances are that - was not here that week-end.” ; "Quite so, sir.” said Wragge ! soothingly. ”1 expect the chief com J missloner or.-iy suggested asking you *c a cort of forlorn hope.” I ter Colne spluttered and muttered, but seemed to be partly pacified by the reply. "I can see that I shall have to teach you your busineca.” he laughed "Why don’t you ask Miss Kathleen Glenister? She was living at th Grange then. She didn’t clear out tin over a year later, when the pres ent upstart took possession.” It was Wragge's turn to laugh, but there was no good humor In ’’'i MTort.
