SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS


On summer tour through the western
English counties | stop one evening at
a country inn. | hear of burglary at
fvor castle, which is owned by an odu
character. and | meet young Mont
gomery, farmer, who quarrels with
the other guests. III intervene in
an attack on queer old gentleman,
Mr.. Kesteven, who invites me to Ivor
Castle. | spend the night with him.
1II-kesteven introduces me to Hood,
his former valet, who now keeps an
inn near the castle. While showing
me secret chamber Mr.. Kesteven is
interrupted by Hood. At MIR. Kes-
teven's request | take a hurried trip to
his solicitors with him. In the even
ing, at the castle, my host leaves me
for few minutes, promising to tell me
secret On hearing noise in his
room, l find him dying, with paper
clutched in his fingers. l remove the
paper. ". Mr.. Kesteven's death is
proved to have been caused by heart
disease. The fragment of paper gives
incomplete directions for reaching a
secret portion of the castle. | attend
10 Mr.. kesteven's obsequies and am in
formed by his solicitor that the hurried
visit was for the purpose of making me
his sole heir. | meet Captain Ser
combe, a soldier of fortune" An
offer, which I refuse, is made to me for
the castle. VI receive a visitor,
who tries hard to induce me to sell the
castle. | interrupt a conference be-
tween Captain Sercombe and another,
but do not see the other. The captain
tries his hand at persuading me TO part
with my new inheritance. | decide
that it is hidden treasure that is be-
hind the efforts to have me sell lvor
castle.

IN my discovery. All the facts
pointed one way, and | was
dumfounded at my previous obtuse-
ness. For what but a hidden store of
treasure would explain these incessant
attempts upon the house itself or the
insistent efforts to take it out of my
hands? And what again but treasure
could supply so natural key to old
Kesteven's death and his mysterious
secret? 1t seemed to me, too, that up
on this hypothesis several facts hitler
to ineXplicable might be referred to
reason. The eccentricity of my host in
choosing me for his heir became not so
much an eccentricity as a studious
piece of policy. He was, in the general
verdict, devoid of living relatives. and
had SO long fallen out of the world as to
be practically friendless. He had made
up his mind to my honesty, possibly to
my capability, and was resolved to
trust me. If this were so, as | saw it
now, the making of the will had been
an inevitable act i'll the game he III
tended to play.
l could not imagine that he had fore
seen his sudden death. vet with his
knowledge that he had an organic dis
ease it was wise TO take punctual pre-
cautions. 1t was probable also that
the news he had evidently received
upon the morning of that fatal day
had conduced to his visit to the lawyer
/ was to be admitted to his confidence.
Twice he had been interrupted in the
very nick of his narrative-the second
time by the interposition of Death
himself In these considerations my
thoughts We're naturally drawn To the
events of that evening. Why had Kes-
teven retired to his room? Obviously
there was connection between his err
rand and the sheet of parchment which
/ had detached from his clutch
l opened my dispatch box and spread
out the paper on the table once more,
porting over it with my pulse throbbins
to my finger tips. The meaning was
now plain, though the main secret was
yet to find. The parchment was clear,
ly the second sheet only of the docu-
ment which Mr.. Kesteven had desired
III DIluS uON IL LUZ NY peIuSdi. l. sat up
at new and more alarming discovery.
Where was the first sheet?
That open window now offered up its
secret. That desperate cry was nc
longer now the scream of mortal ago
ny, but an appeal for help. From the
dead fingers | had taken the second
sheet of the mysterious document, so
pregnant with interest, but from the
hands Of the living l could not doubt
that the first had been violently torn in
the course of struggle in that silent
chamber. Terror had surprised the ras
cal at his wOrk-the terror of that sud
den and fearful dissolution, of that
bumped and pitiful body fallen ON the
floor. And here now with two ends OF
the secret, whatever it might be, rent
asunder and secluded in separate
hands, the hoard of treasure still lay
buried in It's ancient hiding place as in
tact and private as it had lain maybe
through hundreds Of years of silence.
My riddle was read. That certainly
was great step. and in the heat OF
my discovery, as | sat palpitating with
strange emotions of adventure, ayarice.
