left me the bones at any rate" he added,
with a laugh and a nod at the rusted iron,
"and we shall soon see the flesh grow again
on them. Let us go down now. After
breakfast we will begin again. It's good to
have brave friend at such time a. this.
Come, Aura"
But for all my bravery could eat no
breakfast, and when Taras spoke of our
visit to Kew burst into flood Of uncon-
trollable tears with recollection Of the
confident hope and pride which had filed
US veth such happiness and content.
When Gordon and the workmen came. ]
let them go up to the workshop without q
word, but determined to spare Taras the
Vain of telling the story again, and so
when Kavanagh came l stopped him in
the passage, and, taking him into the sit
ting room, myself related what had hap
pened. He listened with astonishment.
and seemed greatly shocked.
"Good heavens" he exclaimed, "what a
terrible blow for poor Tarasl Gordon told
me that they were to begin casting the
group today. 1 came to congratulate my
friend on having finished his work. Poor
fellowl What is he going to dor"

ly, land il that's destroyed another after
that. You don't think he's going to give
up, do you?"
He paused in reflective silence for min
utc, then went to the door and looked into
the passage. He stood there for another
minute, closed the door rs silently as he had
opened 1t. and returning to my side con-

"No," he said quietly; "that wasn't,

'He hasn't taken any steps. He knows
who did IL. 1t was tho car. He says SO.
There's no getting at him."
"But we ought TO get at the men employ
ed by him, for what Is TO prevent them
doing this again when the next model is
finished il they are allowed to escape
nowg"
"Well, how are they TO bc caughtf"
THAT is what we who are the friends Of
Taras ought to try and find out. Taras is
too intent on striking at the car to occupy
himself with the agents, but we have not
that excuse for indifference, and we might
at least attempt to find them. That at any
ratio Is my feeling. and think it Is yours
too"
"Of course it II. can't sleep at night
for fearing what they may do"
Then let us make practical beginning
now. We need not bother Taras about IL.
Let us try to find the enemy out just as IL
he were an ordinary thief who had broken
into the house. DO you agree to that"
why, certainly"
Tell me now" said he, drawing his chair
a little nearer and lowering his voice,
"whcn did this take place"
II don't know. We found IL all smashed
down when we went up in the workshop
before breakfast this morning. IL was all
right when we were there on Saturday
night"
"You did not 20 in there yesterdayY
"No."
Then Il must have happened between
Saturday night and this morning Now"
dropping his voice almost 10 whisper,
'what time does Mere Lucas 20 to bedf'
The question startled me, but answered
that she was never up later than o.
"Taras sleeps at the top Of the house.

Yea
"And Mere Lucas on the same floor as
your room-the first hoor'"
