For the first two miles they had
bowled along swiftly through the clear,
crisp atmosphere, the snow making a
soft carpet for the horses feet The
sullied whiteness of the snow revealed
frequent traces of traffic. Marks OF the
heavy hobnailed boots Of bucolic way
farers and the tiny footprints OF urchins
who had passed that way were all dis
tinctly evident. There were also wheel
and hoof tracks of some conveyance,
probably going to the railway station
with milk. Wired remembered see

A little further along, the trees Of the
W5lland estate came in sight. The
highway encircled the lower side there
of. and the way to the Court diverged
at the angle of the pine wood, and curv-
ed gradually up the side of the slope
occupied by the timber ending, mile
distant, at the lodge gates.
AS they neared the junction of the
roads two men, who had been pacing
up and down where the paths met,
turned round, and with an expression of
relief advanced towards them.
Stopping the carriage, Sir Wilfred
and Inspector Burley alighted, while
the men eyed the latter with intense re-
spect.
