glary, and found the occupation a remunerative
one in which his confederates bore all the risk,
An unfortunate miscalculation, however, on his
part and the treachery Of a man who had some
old scores to settle, made blank of five years
in his life.
The man plunged into long and doleful tale
to Jermys discredit. Jordson scarcely listened
to the Details but he gathered that owing TO
Jermy's conduct the dinner hour would have to
be altered by forty-hve minutes. Directly he
had arrived at that fact he stopped the story.
"That'll do" he said roughly. "I'll speak to
Jermy, but see that I get dinner at the proper
time, or therell be trouble"
"Tl try, thir; swelp me bob, I'll try, thir."
Get out"
The man crawled out Of the room, and Jordison
was left alone with his thoughts
A very trivial event will sometimes alter the
whole course of mans life, and it so happened
that this chance entrance Of Jacob Susanson was
destined to influence the whole Of the mas
ter of the Red House
The mere sight Of the man suggested an idea
to Jordison. The suggestion came at critical
moment. At first he thrust it from his mind as
wild and impracticabe. But by degrees IL forced
itself upon him and became a concrete fact.
And that night he dreamed Of illimitable wealth,
and saw stream Of gold and jewels pour down
from heaven like Jacobs ladder, glittering with
every hue Of the rainbow.

This exception lay in the last room Of all, a
tiny chamber scarcely ten feet square. Here,
half hidden in great heap of dust, lay the bones
of man. The aeshless fingers Of his right hand
still touched a small bone cross. God only knows
what tragedy Of faith lay hidden in this silent
tomb
The tunnel apparently led to no further cham
bers, but ran on in straight line toward the
east. When the two men had traversed IL about
half mile, it ceased to slope downward. They
walked on for an hour, and still did not come to
the end Of the passage. 1t began to curve and
wind in various directions
At last they came to the end Of the passage It
terminated, not in blank and solid wall, but in
a heaped.up pile Of rock. The roof had fallen in
and barred all further progress II was impossible
to tell whether the end was just beyond the bar
rier, or whether the tunnel still ran miles far
ther into the east. As far as Jipp and Jordi-
son were concerned, this was the end.
There was nothing more to be DONE and GER
tainly nothing more to be seen. Jordison put a
new candle in the lantern, and the two men re-
traced their steps 1t was nearly dark when they
emerged from the cellar and breathed the fresh
air again.
Yet even then beneath the debris of plaster in
the hall of the Red House lay letter which the
postman had slipped through the slit in the door
the previous afternoon, and which was destined
to direct William Jordison's career into chan
mel of which he had not yet the faintest knowl-
edge, and for which as yet he had not the faint
est desire

FOR one BRIEF sEconD He FLASHED THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
INTO THE BOYS FACE.

The bedroom door was open, and he could see
into the wellighted corridor beyond.
He crept quietly into the room, and. closing the
door, locked it. Then he went to another door,
opening into the next room. 1t was closed, and
he turned the key in the lock. Then he drew
the heavy curtain across the window and taking
a small electric lamp from his pocket threw its
rays on the walls and floor His eye caught the
faint sparkle of jewels on the dressing table.
He went eagerly across to it and gathered UP
everything of value that he could sea magnifi-
cent diamond brooch, three or four rings set
with rubies and emeralds, jeweed purse of gold
network with ten pounds in it, the hair brushes,
scent bottles, and all the fittings of a ladys dress
ing case, every one of solid gold bearing an
"H" and an earl's coronet in diamonds All
these he thrust into a small canvas bag ne had
brought with him, and his eyes glittered with
excitement.
Jordison was hunting for bigger game tonight
than the few knicknacks lady leaves on her
dressing table The Heatherstone Jewels were
famous, we'll known, and much paragraphed in
papers which cater for the envious eyes of humble
folk single pearl necklace was valued at forty
five thousand pounds. There was diamond and
emerald tiara which had once graced the head of
an empress Jordson knew we'll the insolent
carelessness Of rich people in these matters, but
IL was too much to hope that such treasures as
these would be left to the mercy of chance
burglar, Lady Heatherstone had not left her
room for two years, and during that period the
Jewels had not been seen in public. Jordison
had ascertaned, however, that she would not
allow them to be placed in bank, but kept
them in her own apartments, where she could
personally inspect them from time to time.
He crept softly and quickly round the room
breaking open every drawer and box in the hope
of finding something He picked up few trife'
here and there But it was clear that the most
valuable Jewels were carefully concealed.

per part Of the ssreat pile Of buildings was in
total darkness. They paused under the branches
Of gigantic tulip tree and consulted in whispers
bipp had already obtained considerable knowl-
edge of the house by means Of love affair with
one of the under housemaids. Jordson had
visited it more than once on show days, and a
substantial tip to the major domo had procured
him the information he required.
Jordison looked at his watch; IL was o'clock,
an hour when the bedrooms of house offer the
most inducement to those who wish to enter
them unobserved
From where they stood they could see the
windows Of Lady Heatherstone's apartments;
they were over the white drawing room, which
was now a blaze Of light. Epp knew where
to lay hands on ladder, but it seemed almost
madness to place IL against that part Of the
house. On the other hand, if an entrance were
effected in another part, the risk of walking along
the corridors would be considerable.
Suddenly a soprano voice began to sing, and
the sweet melody Of Lassen's "All Souls Day"
came to the watchers on the lawn. The notes
brought no message Of love or tenderness to their
ears. But the same idea struck both of them.
''Now's the time" said Jordison, where's
the ladder?"
In less than Ave minutes Lpp fetched it and
placed it against the wall. The song had ceased,
and a panoforte solo was filing the drawing
room with loud crash of music.
Nothing could be BETTER" said Jordson you
will stay here, Lipp, and whistle ii there is
danger. It won't take more than five minutes,
if / can get them at al"
Jordison ran swiftly up the ladder opened
the catch of the window with penknife and
softly raised the sash. Then he thrust his head
round the corner Of the silk blind and listened.

through the fallen glass and stone till ne reached
, wide exnanse of smooth floor, stretching as far
as the light would penetrate. He stopped down
and examined it. Then he brushed away the
laver of dust that covered it, and gave an excla-
nation of surprise For underneath this soft car

centuries, appeared the regular squares OF tes-
sellated pavement, black and red alternately.
highly glazed and beautifully designed. In mo-
ment he knew that he had made discovery of
great archaeological interest. Without doubt
the place, whatever purpose it served, was the
work of the Romans
closer inspection revealed large chamber
nearly one hundred feet SQUARE The walls were
smoothly chiselled from the solid rock, but here
and there a deep rough hollow in the surface
showed that the room was natural cavity in the
hill, and that the hand of man had merely planed
and shaped it to its present regular form. In
places the faint outlines of frescoes were visible
on the walls, but time had reduced the paint to
a dull blur of color an ndstinct shadow of what
had once been, perhaps, the work OF great ar
tist
On one side of this great chamber there was a
large opening ten feet square, and on the other
a smaller one no bigger than an ordinary door

the almost ghostly silence with which it tore along
the straight road.
The ten miles between the Red House and the
plantation at the foot of Heatherstone Park was
covered in twelve minutes, and the machine was
only run on its second speed. When it reached
the place where Arthur Holme had pulled Lord
Harry Guy out of the water it slowed down and
came to stop under the shadow of the trees
which overhung the road The three men alight-
ed quickly. One of them turned out all the lights
but the little lamp which hung behind This he
unlocked and let its rays fall on the motionless
mass of metal.
She's a beauty, Lpp," he said in low voice,
punching one of the back tires with his cenched
fist There's not car like her in England"
He looked at it lovingly for a minute or two,
touching the bearings here and there to see if
they had become hot and laying his hand tender
ly on its long and hdeous frame.
Come along" growled Lipp roughly, this
amt no beauty show If we're out on business"
"Have you all we want?" Jordison broke in
quietly, turning the light on the mans face.
"Aye. ave." the man gowled impatiently, "un-
less I've left my card case on the all table"
"Well, keep close to me. wish it were not
so internally dark, but it will be all in our
favor later on Jenny, you stay by the car and
keep your eyes and ears open. If any one comes
along pretend to be tinkering with the machin-
ery. If you hear shot or cries of pursuit, or
anything that sounds as if we had been discover
ed, start the engines. It's just possible we may
be in a hurry to get off
With these parting Instructions he climbed over
the wall, and the two men crept through the
narrow belt of trees
They crossed the undulating park without at
tracing the attention of the underkeepen.
The outline OF the house was invisible against
the dark sky. but long line of windows on the
ground floor glowed with yellow light. The up
