be the accomplice In the new effort to
steal the picture. Mr. Merritt came
over and saw his chief. with whom he
had long conversation In the
grounds. also forced myself on Mr..
Merritt's notice.

DIPLOMACY. When the attack was de-

ton of the cliffs. or course. he was
off to tell Henson of the failure OF the
scheme ana to go on with the plot for
getting the other picture. II he had
stolen my Rembrandt then, the other

of having started with the picture and

CHAPTER xxxv.
Chris Has an Idea.

Lord Littimer polished his rarely
used eyeglass carefully. and favored
Chris with a long, admiring stare. At
the same time he was wondering why
the girl should have taken such a vivid
interest in Reginald Henson and his
doings. For some years past II had
been Lttimer's within to hold up Hen
son to everybody as his successor. as
far as the castle went. He liked TO
see Henson's modest smirk and beau
tiful self abasesment, for in sooth his
lordship had a pretty contempt for the
man who hoped to succeed him. But
the will, made some time ago. by Lit
timer. would have come as a painful
shock to the philanthropist.
"It Is a pretty tangle, as It stands"
he said Miss Lee. let me compliment
you upon your astuteness in the mat
ter. Only don't tell me you schemed
your way here. and that you are a
lady detective. I read a good many
novels. and l don't like them"
You may be easy on that score"
Chris laughed. IT am not a lady de-
tective. All the same. I have defeated
Mr.. Reginald Henson"
You think he Is at the bottom OF the
mystery of the other Rembrandt"
1T am certain of It; unless you like
to believe In the truth OF his charm
ing scheme to give you lesson. as he
called II. AS matter OF fact, Mr..
Henson discovered the existence of the
other print; he discovered that DIR.
Bell possessed 1.-THE rest I leave to
your own astuteness. You saw his face
just now?'
"oh, yes 1t was a fine study in
emotions. II you could find the other
picture"
at hope to restore II to you before
the day has passed"
I.ittimer applauded. gently. He was
Charmed, he said. with the whole COM
edy. The first two acts had been a
brilliant success. II the third was only
as good, he would regard Miss Lee as
his tenefactor forever. 1t was not
often that anybody intellectually
amused him; In fact, he must add Miss
Lee to his collection.
Then you must play a part your
self" Chris said. gaily. 1T am going
into Moreton Wells, and DIR. Bell ac-
companies me. Mr.. Henson is not to
know that we have gone. and he Is
not TO leave the house for a good hour
or SO after our departure. What I
want IL fair start and the privilege
of bringing a guest home TO dinner"
.svague. mysterious and allrring,"
IAttimer said. Bring the guest, by
all means. viii pledge my diplomacy
that you have a long start. Really, !
don't know when have enjoyed my
self so much. You shall have the big
wagonette for your Journey"
And Join It beyond the lodge gates"
Chris said. thoughtfully. ''Dr. Bell. you
shall stroll through the park, casually:
