Once more the two men sat
over the remnants of their even
ing meal. The deterioration in
their own appearance seemed to
have spread itself to their sur
roundings. The table was ILL
laid, there we're no flowers, an
empty bottle of wine and several
deeanters remained where they
had been set.
Cecil's face was CHASTITY, and
the hand which played nervously
with the tablecloth shook all the
time.

servants like this. Not only have

Without a word the girl point

Soon they reached the three
steps which led up into the house.
Cecil and Forrest climbed up.
Kate and Engleton followed. Ce-
ell carefully closed the door be-
hind them.

some brandy" EngIeton said.
Kate bent over him, alarmed at
the sudden change in his face.
Her attention for one moment
was relaxed. Then she felt her
wrist seized I'm a grip of iron.
The revolver, which she was still
holding. fell to the ground, and
Cecil calmly picked IL up and
thrust IL into his pocket.
You have played the game
very we'll, Kate" he said. "Now
| think IL is our turn"
She looked at him Indignantly,
but without any trace of fear.
II am not going to faint" En-
gleton said in a low tone. II will
not"
Forrest came suddenly forward.
We have wasted too much
time" he said. Let us have the
issue before us in black and white.
Engleton, you are we'll enough to
understand what I say?"
Perfectly" Engleton an
swered. GO on"

"One moment" Kate said.

Cecil turned upon her swiftly.

The siri faced them both with
out shrinking.
Perhaps you think that |
should be afraid" she answered.
II am not afraid 1 will go with
you"
Cecil shrugged his shoulders as
he led the way across the hall and
threw open the hidden door.
viii you go first or last?" he
said to the girl.
Il will walk last" Kate an
swered.
As they stumbled along the
narrow way, Cecil whispered in
Forests ear.
What are we going to do with
herr"
Heaven knowsl" Forrest an
swered. who is she?"
"One of the village girls" Cecil
answered, IAN old sweetheart OF
mine" :
They paused before the door.
From inside the room they could
hear the sound of a man, half
singing, half moaning. n
Cecil" the girl said, you are
being made a fool of. Do the right
thing now, and I'll stick by you.
Let this man free, whoever he is.
Don't listen to what he tells you. -
she added, pointing toward For
rest.
1T was only a joke, this, Kate, /"
Cecil muttered. 1T was a joke
which we have carried a little too
far. Yes, you shall help me II
you will. Go inside and see for
yourself who Is there"
Cecil threw open the door and
Kate stepped boldly inside. For
rest entered last and remained
near the threshold. Engleton
started to his feet when he saw q
third person.
I'VE have brought you a visit

We are going to leave here to-

within the next few minutes" de-
clared Kate.
You lie!" Forrest answered
fiercely. you have thrust your
self into a matter which does not
concern you, and you are going Co
take the consequences"
And what might they be?"
Kate asked, slowly.
They rest with him." Forrest
answered, pointing toward Engle-
ton. There is a man there who
was our friend until a few DAYS
ago. He dared to accuse us of
cheating at cards, and IL we let
him go he will ruin us both. To-
night, IL he is obstinate, we are
going to throw him into the sea :"
And what about me?" Kate
asked.

Engleton rose to his feet slow

Cecil
The four of them were suddenly
stupefied into a dead silence.
Their eyes were riveted upon the
door which led to the under
ground passage. Distinctly they
could all hear footsteps stumbling
along the uneven way. Forrest
was the first to recover the power
of speech. He called out to Cecil
from the other end of the room.

I'm hanged IL you WILL" was
the sudden reply.
Andrew de la Borne stepped out
of the darkness and stood upright,
blinking and looking around In
amazement. He had climbed up
the face of the cliff to the opening
of the underground passage. For
rest had removed the boards for
the purpose of hurting Engleton
into the sea, making Andrews en-
trance possible.

Forrest took out the phial from
his pocket and held his handker-
chief on the palm of his hand.
"Open the door, will you, Ce-
ell, he said, so that we can carry
him out"
Cecil opened 1t, and came slow
ly back to where Forrest was
counting the drops which fell
from the bottle on to his hand
kerchief. Then he suddenly came
to a standstill. Forrest, too,
paused in his task and looked up.
He gave a nervous start, and the
bottle fell from his fingers.
What in heavens name was
that" he asked.
The sound came to them faint
ly down the long passage.

Red Hail." Cecil answered.

For a third time the bell rang.

open the door, man." Forrest
whispered. Don't stand fumbling
there. Remember you are angry
at being disturbed. Send them
away, whoever they are"
Cecil set his teeth, turned the
huge key, and pulled back the
heavy door. He gave a little gasp
of establishment. IL was a woman
who stood there.
"Kate!" he cried. "what on
earth are you doing here at this
hour?"
The girl stepped into the hall.
CLOSE the door," she said.
Cecil Obeyed at once.
II came to know whom IL is
that you are keeping hidden in
the smugglers' ROOM" Kate said
calmly.
Neither man answered. They
looked at one another, and Cecil's
face grew pale as death.
What do you mean7" he ex-
claimed. There is no one there
that l know of"
You lie," she answered calm
ly. you lie, as you always do
whenever il answers your purpose.
Only an hour ago I lay upon the
turf and heard a man moaning
down in the store room. Now tell
me the truth, Cecil de la Borne.
l do not wish to bring any harm
upon you, but IL you do not bring
me the man whom you have down
there, and set him free before my
eyes at once, I'll bring half the
village up and dig him out"
Forrest stepped forward. There
was a dangerous glitter in his
eyes.
Your friend, my dear Cecil, /"
he remarked, lis like most of her
sex, a trifle unreasonable. How
ever, show her the smugg1ers'
room. l will go with you for the
sake of the proprfeties, he added,
with a little laugh.
Cecil looked at him for a mo-
ment steadily, and then turned
away. There was fear now upon
his face, a new fear. What was
this thing which Forrest could
propose?

Jeanne was sitting In the gar

excitement of the last twenty-four
hours had left her languid. She
was glad when Kate Caynsard

slowly towards her.

she said. II am afraid that last

Jeanne obeyed her breathlessly.
At first she could hear nothing.
Her own heart was beating fast,
and the boughs of the trees above
them were cfeaking and groaning
in the wind. Presently, how

somewhere underground it seem

faint hammering.
