warming his hand and casting a look
over his shoulder.
He says nothing, because he thinks
you are drowned, as Mr.. Peggotty would
say. And. by Jove, Bernard. 1 thought
you really were dead. You have no
idea what a relief it was when 1 got
your letter How did you escape?"
Bernard passed his hand through his
hair and sighed wearily. The strain
through which he had passed. and from
which he still suffered. showed itself in
his blOodIess cheeks and his wild eyes.
At every sound he started and shook.
His nerves. and small wonder, were quite
unstrung. and even while sitting safely
beside his old school chum on the sofa
near the fire. he kept a tight hold Of him,
like a child by its mothers knee. Seeing
this, Conniston rose quickly. Bernard was
on his feet in a moment, startled by the
sUddenness Of the movement.
What's the natter he demanded.
loking anxiously around, and eyeing both
door and window suspiCiously.
You are the matter said Commission,

wire. You look so awfully i'll. old chap.
This will never do. I tell you, Bernard,
you are all right. I'll stick to you through

But If l was arrested?
you won't be arrested. Every one

until we sift this matter to the bottom
and then you can take your place again

the money also
Not the money. Dick?"
Yes, Durham told me to tell YOU, as
he couldn't come himself. He is now
reading the viii, and Beryl viii find him

Bernard threw up his hands. And

You're a dead man, and will remain one
until we discover who killed your grand
father"
And .how can we
Shut up, Bernard" Commission made
an imperative sign as a knock came to
the door. Gore at once turned his face
TO the fire and began TO arrange the
logs. while Lord Commission spoke to a
sharp. dark. wien child who entered the
room. She was 10 more than fifteen,
but had such an old face ana such a
womanly appearance that she looked
much older Her eyes were as black as
sIoes and her thin lips tightly closed. A
most unpleasant-loOking creature with a
waspish nature.
"Oh, Victoria" said Commission. as this
goblin dropped curtsey, Il want you
10 bring up some port wine. Mrs Moon
,will give It to you, and some glasses
also"
Yes, mIordy
Bring a plate of biscuits, too
Yes, m'IOrdI"
And. Victoria said the young man,

you to mention that 1 have visitors at

glance full Of suspicion at Bernard's s
back, she withdrew as noiselessly as she
entered. and with a final curtsey such

doll. Indeed, Victoria-a most inappropri-

Mrs. Moon was not at all disturbed.
Just like his poor father, my second
SON" said she, shaking the frilled cap
again. He was a wonderful boy for
money, and never minded how he got it.
Have they jailed Jerry?" she asked with
great simplicity.
Commission could hardly help smiling at
the calm way in which she took the re-
port Of her grandson's wickedness- No;
his master turned him out and gave him
another chance,
Bless and preserve your dear lordship,
Jerry won't take no chance, as I always

Never YOU mind what he is. You hold

Only Jerry can manager her. said
Mrs Moon, firmly, me not being strong

I'll see to it, interrupted Commission,

would be ike that between an elephant
and a mosquito. with the betting on the

That's a mistake. Dick" said Bernard,
when the door closed
What is?" asked Conniston staring.
Telling that girl 10 hold her tongue
She has no reason TO suspect me, and
quite as likely as not thought me merely
your guest. Now she will fancy all sorts
OF things"
Il hope not" said Conniston, uneasily;
but she's such a little devil that I
thought it best to give her one for her
self. And If she chatters she will lose
her situation. I am 50 afraid lest she
should be In communication with Jerry"
"Jerry?"
Judas. The grandson of Mrs. Moon who
robbed Taberley. He and Victoria were
as thick as thieves. and are about equal
in wickedness. If the girl suspected any
thing she might ask Judas to help her
to learn more of the truth than we want

earest for a pound But don't bother.

crossing to the sofa; everything is right
7 hope so, I hope so" muttered Gore.
IF I am arrested l cannot make any
defense"
Wen talk of that later. Here comes
Mrs Moon with the wine, and so speedily
that I suspect she must have out a
bottle for her private drinking. I say,
Mrs Moon" said Commission. as the
giantess entered with a silver tray and
the wine. don't let Victoria leave the
castle on any account
L should think not" said Mrs Moon,
putting down the tray. she works little
enough as it is with trapesing about on
wate-hoHdays. I'd keep her under lock
and key on bread and water if I had my
way, and II she wasn't too strong for
me. the besome that she is!-begging
your dear lordship's pardon. Anything
else, my lord?'
NO. You can 60"
And glad I am to CO." said Mrs. Moon,
withdrawing with a ponderous step, be
ing engaged in playing kings"
Kings" said Commission, when she had
vanished
Bernard. in spite of his sadness, laughed
and explained. It's a game of patience,
he said. 4 asked Mrs. Moon for a pack
Of cards TO pass the time. and was play
ing the game myself. She was curious;
so, to keep her in good temper. 1 taught
it to her. Ever since she has been play
ing il unsuccessfully-"
oh" Commission was not interested in
his housekeeper's games. He opened the
bottle Of port and carefully poured out
full glass which he passed to Bernard.
Drink that UP, you sinner"
Gore slipped a little wine. but finally
drank the whole glass. Commission made
him take another in spite Of his protes-
tations, and then the color came back
to his sunken cheeks. The poor fellow
was thin with anxiety and want Of
sleep. When Commission saw he was bet
ter he made him light a pipe, and then
sat down to hear an account of his escape.
Bernard was grateful for these attentions
and began 10 look less cowed.

You're a good friend. Dick" he said.
smoking luxuriously. This is the first
moment of peace have had since that
awful moment"
How did you escape" asked Connis-
ton, lighting a cigarette.
L threw myself into the river and swan
across.
In the fog?'
Yes. I was guided by the 'pIers Of
the Chelsea Bridge. On the opposite side
took of my my coat and hat and left
them lying on the bank. so that it might
be thought I was drowned"
which is exactly what people do
think" said Dick, complacently.
Thank Heaven for that Well, then I
went into a public house I found open
it was not yet midnight-and made up
story about having been robbed and
thrown into the river"
That was dangerous. The public house
people might have advised you 10 see the
police"
Il don't think the landlord had any
love for the police" said Gore, dryly
He looked like an old convict himself.
and displayed a fellow-sympathy 1 don't
know If he believed my story However.
for sovereign he gave me a coat and
across Waterloo Bridge in the fog and es-
capped observation. But for the fog ] ex-
pect my military breeches and leggings
would have betrayed me and provoked
questions. But ! managed to escape"
I didn't sleep at all. I walked the
whole night, and by dawn I was out of
London. ] lost myself several times in
the fog and twice had a row with a tramp
or two. Then I took train at a wayside
station to Gravesend, and crossed the riv-
er TO Tilbury"
Didn't any one ask questions?"
Bernard shook his head. The new
YeOnanry uniform wasn't known in those
parts. 1 expect the CATERS made people
think I was a farmer. I took the train to
Pitsea, and then came on here under
cover Of night. It was 10 o'clock by the
time I got here"
What did you do in the meantime?'
Il loafed about the taproom Of pub,
and made out 1 was horse-dealer buying
horses for the war. No one suspected me.
and I managed 10 sustain my part per-
fectly"
Did Mrs. Moon admit you at once?"
NO. She was in bed. But when she
came to the door she seemed disincIined 10
admit me. I produced your letter. and
az
quarter Of an hour, she let me in. Then
next morning I wrote to you"
What made you think Of this place,
Bernardo"
Il could think of nowhere to hide" said
Gore. leaning back with a weary sigh.
And after ALL" he added, with a glance
round. this is a very good cache"
Commission nodded. You are quite safe
here. 1 will show you the way to the
vaults. and should there be any chance of
your being discovered you can hide there. g"
Does Victoria know about the vaults?"
Il can't say. Probably that Judas brat
has told her. He was brought I'D here,
and knows every nook and Granny of the
castle. And now, Bernard, we must have
a good dinner, and then you can tell me
whom you suspect of committing the
crime.
