prepared. Don't betray me, but save
him."
The letter fell from my hands. What
did it mean? Was Digby's life really
in danger, or was the girl who had
written mad. The letter was without
signature, but of course knew that
Muriel was the writer. / read it over
again, and became convinced that it
told the truth, and that Muriel was
perfectly sane. resolved not to dis
regard the warning, and late as the
the residence of my friend, Inspector
Frost, one of the keenest and most
trustworthy police officers on the New
York force. l found the inspector, a
tall, square-shouldered man of so, at
home and not yet retired. Without
mincing matters, came to the point
at once and narrated the whole story
of the past few weeks. Frost's gray
eyes shone with interest, as he pc
rused Murieps letter.
''I'm glad you came" he said, when
he had finished reading. There are
four curious points about this case.
First, your friend has this valuable
secret about the spot where the gold
is to be found, a secret which may
be worth anything. Secondly, he is
very intimate with Mrs. Seattle, her
step-daughter and her brother. The
intimacy started in Brazil. Thirdly,
he Is engaged to the step-daughter,
who evidently is being used as sort
of tool, and is herself in absolute ter
ror, and so far as / can make out,
is not especially in love with Digby.
Fourthly, Mrs. Seattle and her brother
are determined at all hazards to Sc
cure the chart which Digby is to hand
to them tomorrow evening. The girl
thinks this so important that she has
practically risked her life to give you
the warning. By the way, didn't you
say that Lancaster was to meet you
and Digby at IL o'clock on Friday
morning? Well, / suppose that Mrs
Seattle and her brother know of this.
Now, If Digby goes to The Rosary tc-
morrow evening that interview with
Lancaster will probably never take
place. / believe, Halifax, that the
Scaiffes intend to be the sole posses
sors of that secret, and mean to get
it from him before he sees Lancaster.
And the chances are that if he gives
it up to them he will never leave that
house alive"

he would be at his office prepared for
a meeting on Friday. This was Mon

him the fact that did not trust Mrs.
