to bid them godspeed, the others to look
on. Only the librarian was absent, and
the two men caught themselves wonder
ing if he was not busily at work putting
AWAY his treasures before their disar-
ray was noticed by any other eye. The
Prior stood at the top of the steep path
and waved his hand TO them, as they
passed behind jutting point of rock.
A moment later, turning again, they
came in view of the convent on the
cliff and the bell away above them
pealed out a lusty note. Both men
started.
"Aha!" cried Dintri. at is always

You shall see, there down! Each time

sirs? But will hasten to prepare the

The sky was cloudless. The sun
streamed down upon the fine Greek
hills, cut and torn and SCARED by noun
tain torrents, and bare of tree or herb
age, save on the northern slope of one
far peak, where clumps of swart ever
greens clung. Away below them the
path descerned the cliff in loops and
ziczags. Coming out again some PAGES
below from behind a point had hid them
from the convent they heard once more
the sweet greeting Of the bell rung by
some stalwart monk who still stood
watching their descent.
Ring away, W'iskers!" shouted Ash

forward and turned the last corner of
the winding way, the other close at his
heels.
They had emerged upon the gallery
In front of the building. where about
midway the belfry jutted out over the
valley like q tiny oriel window. At the
other end was the guest chamber. hut
between stood a figure confronting
them, looming big and black in the
darkness.
1t was the Prior.
With his long, white beard flowing
down his chest and his fine head well
thrown back, he stood grasping in one
hand the triple chains OF an iron lamp
hastily clutched from its support. The
other held the rope of the bell. At this
vantage point, where he commanded
the situation, he had uttered the sound
that broke in upon their unhallowed
toll.
Instinctively the taller stranger
moved forward. but the other put him
self in front.
"Stop!" he whispered. want i'm 10

now. See?"
The Prior stood looking at them. No
trace of reproach or fear or anger or
any human passion was in his calm re-
gard. He was as IL carved in stone. At
.last--it seemed TO the two men an age
he opened his lips.
"Cheires," he said, in low tone. pro-
nouncipg each syllable slowly and dis
tinctly. Then, after pause: "Epano!
'Cheires epano."
Even Ashby recognized the carefully
chosen words. "Epano" had become ia
miliar TO him on the lips Of Greek horse
drivers who wished TO indicate the up
per path.
"'E wants us 20 put up our hnn's," ="
muttered Ashby; IAN tinl it's wise 70

"Cheires epano!" repeated the monk,
shifting his attitude tri1e.
In an instant holy reliquary and ikon-
frame, crozier and goblets were put
upon the floor. and both men stretched
their bands above their heads.
