blocks away from Georges. So, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run over and take a look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms a bit, to fancy how
it would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things, ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
end cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for a moment to contemplate the

noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only a cursory glance. He took
out his ring Of keys, found the night
latch and thrust it into the keyhole.
He never had believed in this putting
up of iron gates and iron shutters. A
night-latch and a caretaker who came
round once a day was enough for any
sensible person. He turned the key.
Eth? It didn't seem to go round. He
tried several times, but without sue

stopped before the keyhole.

Absolutely Georges teeth came
together with a click.
The four Of them passed out Of the
house, each singularly wrought with
agitation. Fortune walked ahead with
George. Neither spoke. They could
hear the occasional protest from the
banker into Mortimer's ear; but Nor

CHAPTER x
a Bottle Of Wine.

George stood tr~resolutely upon the
steps. A new keyhole! What the
deuce did the agent mean by putting
a new keyhole in the door without
notifying him? AS the caretaker never
entered that door. 1t was all the
agents fault. There was no area-way
in front, but between Georges house
and the next there was a cour eight
feet in width, running to the dividing
wall between the bank property and
his own A grille gate protected this
court. George had a key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement-door.
But he suddenly paused. To bis
amazement he saw just below the
library curtain a thin measure OF
light. Light! Some in the house!
He did the most sensible thing pos
sible: he stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
M who had no earthly or heavenly
business there! Near the window
stood a tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge Of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
o great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed.
Here was the end Of the puzzle. The
riddle Of the United Romance and Ad-
venture Company was solved. At last
he understood why Mrs. Chedsoye
had sought him. why Ryanne had kid
mapped him. But for his continuing
his journey upon the German-Lloyd
boat. he would have come home 4
week too late: he would have missed
being q spectator (already an inno-
cent contributor) to one Of the most
daring and ingenious bank-robberies
known In the pages Of metropolitan
crime. There was Mrs. Chedsoye, in
trusivelyf handsome as ever; there
was her rascally cardsharper brother,
that migrate who called himself Ry-
anne, and three unknown men. The
impudence OF 1t; the damnable inso-
lence Of It! And there they we're.
toasting their c in a brace of
his w vintage-champagne! But the
wine was. after all, inconsequential. It
was what he saw upon the floor that
caught him by the throat. His knees
weakened. but he held on grimly to
his perch.
