currence of five shall be necessary

matters, until otherwise provided
by Law, the jurisdiction of the
Court shall be exercised under
sUch regulations and orders as the
Court by a majority vote may pre

ment takes effect shall continue

ment to the State Constitution pro

doubtless they would turn up again
in due course.
He wondered vaguely, as he re
turned to the gate, whether these
disappearances were going to con
tinue? Would the laborer suddenly
dissolve? At the moment, the la
borer was still standing solidly by si
the gate—or as solidly ns a hungry
man with a bad cough can stand. I
Would Charlie dissolve? That would
take some doing! Would he, him
self dissolve? Rupert might have
dwelt longer on this point had he
known that the disapeparances at i
Byford Moor were not yet over.
“Well, I’m still alive and kicking, ?
you see” he observed, as he reached
the gate.
“I was jest beginnin’ to wunner,”
replied Ted.
“I didn’t find out anything.”
“Didn’t yer?”
“No. Queer affair, isnt it? Now, *
take my tip, and get a bit of break
fast. I’m staying at the Yellow
Stag and you can get something
there, if you like, or there's a pub
not quite so far”
“Pub’ll do for me”.said the la
borer. “My feet are bad.” \
“You seem pretty bad all round.” f
“Oh, I dunno. Done a bit o’ i
walkin’ this larst week, and my |
boots ain’t ezackly marchin’ ones.” ?
“How did you get your cough?” ij
“Ah, that was sleepin’ atween i
thick blankets with a 'ot water bot- !
tie.” He looked towards the shed.
Wot’s goin ter ’appen if that other
feller comes back? Won’t he want
to know where we are?”
The “we” amused Rupert. This
old chap appeared to have tacked
himself on to the party quite defi- 1
nitely! f
“Yes, of course, he will,” agreed 1
Rupert. “I’ll stick a bit of paper
in the shed with the word ‘Yellow
Stag’ on it—that’ll put him wise, if
he turns up. But it wouldn’t sur
prise me to find that he’s already
at the Yellow Stag, s:t;:ng down to
breakfast before me.”
He tore a sheet of paper from his
notebook, wrote the name of the inn
upon it, and deposited it on the
floor of the shed. Then he re
turned to the laborer and inquired.
“Ready?”
“You'll walk faster'n me,” said :
Ted. “Ill foUer.”
“Right,” answered Rupert. “Good
luck!”
