which was but very dimly lit. Sud
denly. following the exclamation, the
light seemed to go out. The door Of
the cupboard remained open, but the
space INSIDE was black, and silence
reigned profound.
Unable any longer to resist the cab
Of curiosity, and growing reckless OF
consequence, the butler snatched up
the lamp from his table, and pottered
along the passage to the cupboard. To
his utter establishment it was empty,
The Duke had gone in and the Duke
had not come out; yet the amazing fact
remained that he was no there.
Polperro's scanty hair bristled. He
stared at the walls as though a deed
of witchcraft had been done before his
eyes. 20 Lord. o Lord" he ejac-
ulated, dismally. Then it seemed ia
his sensitised fancy that a cold. dank
air blew upon him. as though from
some opening in the wall. He laid his
hand upon the cloaks which, depend
ing from a row of hooks, covered 1t
from sight, and, to his horror, gave
way beneath his touch!
With a cry he held his lamp closer.
The wall was no wall, but a door. lead

peered fearfully in something r

held the lamp. Crash went the globe.

The flame iared up, and his tremo-
ling hand instinctively let go. With
a loud sound of smashing glass the
lamp fell to the floor, and in an in
slant a stream OF burning oil circled
round the mans feet.
He turned sick and giddy, horrified
at what he had seen. and now at what
he had done. Wildly he pulled down a
cloak, and flung it or the fire. 1t only
fed the flame. soaking in the oil which
raced onward in a dozen directions, like
the points of a burning star.
Polperro was not a brave man. The
scamping thing that had rushed across
his feet had been to MIN a supernat-
ural horror, coming al it did from an
unknown and evil place. With the
breaking of the lamp mis- head turned,
and as the fire spread he backed from
before it shrieking "Help!" and MUIR

The light that grew and mounted so
%fearfully in the cupboard seemed TO
pursue him, and at last he turned and

stairs.

was on the right track. there could
not be much doubt of that, and-set-
ting his teeth obstinately together
he would not give up the game until
it was his.
Its the logged dog that wins" he
said to himself. quoting an old saying
in use in the States. And then. like a
flash, a suggestion darted into his
mind. He had thought from the first
that the cupboard with the boots and
brooms, being under the drawing
room, ought to be the most likely
place, and had wasted more time there
than upon any others. But now he
was ready to call himself a fool. by
Jove," he incautiousy exclaimed,
aloud, seeing before his mental eyes n
picture of the hooks. IF it should
have been that all the timei"
The words sounded oddly in the mid
night silence. As though in echo a
chair scraped across a floor somewhere
not far away, and presently a door
softly opened. Mr.. Polperro, the but
Ter, had heard the exclamation and
had peeped out into the passage.
Not a football or a creaking board
had disturbed his reTerie till now, ant
what he saw positively electrified him.
He had been brought up TO cherish a
due respect for the aristoeracy, and the
person OF a duke had appeared less sac
red to him than that of a king. There
fore, to behold his Grace of Leieester's
tall form, slyly disappearing with a
dark lantern into the housemaids' cup
board sent a Mortified shivering down
his decorous spine.
His first thought was that the noble
Duke must have been seized with the
pangs of hunger and set forth upon a
foraging expedition; but the broom
cupboard was not a promising place
to look, and his Grace was certainly
there a long time.
Polperro hesitated. Should he risk
the Dukes displeasure by revealing
himself after being hidden to go to
bed? or should he. But the Cor
dian knot of his difficulty was sudden
ly cut. He might have stood vacillat-
ing in the doorway and wondering at
the strange conduct of the guest for
five minutes, when an exclamation
startled him. 1t was in the Dukes
voice, and though i~narticulate, express
ed some strong emotion-triumph or
excitement Of some kind.
The figure of the Duke had been in
visible from Polperro's position. but
the rays from the lantern in the cub
board had frightened the place, and
by contrast darKened the passage.
