Kingdom was oYeTshadowed by him
and his schemes. The papers were full
of praise and blame, of puffs and de-
nunciations. He was a millionaire;
he was on the verge of a smash that
would paralyze the markets OF the
world. He was an abstalner. a drunk
ard, a gambler, a most religious man.
He was a confirmed bachelor, a wom-
an hater: his engagement was to be
announced shortly. So was the gossip
kept rolling with the limelight always
centered upon the spot where Silas ].
Ford happened to be standing.
And now he had disappeared, van
ashed, evaporated.
On the night of December 10, a
Thursday, he had left London for Meu-

in his offlce accompanied him. Friday
morning he had spent with them; but
Eat three O'Clock the pair had returned
TO London, leaving their chief behind.
From four to seven he had been shut

time for every one, time verging up
on panic, and at such times Silas J.
1nord was not an idle man.
AT eight o'clock he had dined. His
one recreation was music, and after
the meal he had played the organ in
the picture gallery for an hour. At
fquarter past eleven he retired to his
bedroom, dismissing Jackson, his body
servant, for the night Three-quarters
of an hour later, however, Harbord.
his secretary, had been called to the
private telephone, for Mr.. Ford had
brought an extension wire from the
neighborfng town of Camdon. 1t was
a London message, and so urgent that
he decided to wake his chief. There
WAS no answer to his knock, and on

WAS the head groom who struck the

It was past two O'Clock when we ar.
rived at the old town of Camden. A
carriage met us at the station. Five
minutes more and we were clear of
the narrow streets and climbing the
first bare ridge of the downs. 1t was
a desolate prospect enough-a bare ex-
panse of wind-swept land that rose
and fell with the sweeping regularity
Of the Pacific swell. Here and there
a clump of ragged frs showed black
against the snow. Under that gentle
carpet the crisp turf of the crests and
the broad plough lands of the lower
ground alike lay hidden. I shivered,
drawing my coat more closely about
me.
It was half an hour later that we
topped a swelling rise and saw the
gray towers of the ancient mansion be-
meath US. In the shelter of the valley
by the quiet river, that now lay frozen
into silence, the trees had grown into
splendid woodlands, circling the hall
on the further side. From the broad
front the white lawns crept down to
the road on which We were driving.
Dark masses of strawberries and the
tracery of scattered trees broke their
silent levels. The park wall that
fenced them from the road stood out
like an ink line ruled upon paper.
