which he had left the house.

| Judge, in his slow. sententious manner,
which was queerly at variance with his
speed in hurrying into his clothes. 1--WE

become of the diamond. Let up what
has happened, pardner. Reel it off, l
am all awake.
l narrated briefly the events of the
night while he completed dressing. Lola,
standing by the window, listened in sill
ence. There was just enough light to
reveal the mischievous exultation that
sparkled in her eyes.
Heres Vigilance Committee Job, if
ever there was one" said the Judge,
hastily lacing his boot. II amt lighted

since the good old days. Now, sir, if you

/ knew the crossroads; they were
nearly two miles distant. 1t was incom-
prehensible to me how Van Hoeck had
strayed so far from the abbey; but the
laborer's description left little room for
doubt that it was Van Hoeck he had
seen, and started at once in the direc-
ton indicated.
could not see Van Hoeck from the
crossroads, but on turning the angle of
the lane at the foot of the hill, l perceiv-
ed him feeling the way with painful
slowness, and on the side of the hedge
row, a hundred yards in advance. Hear.

it, came to meet me. He seemed to for
