Everything was in harmony, even the
grave precision of the solemn-faced
butler and the powdered hair Of the
two footmen. Quest, perhaps for the
first time in his life, felt almost lost,
hopelessly out of touch with his sur.
roundings, and a struggling figure.
Nevertheless, he entertained the little
party with many stories. He struggled
all the time against that queer sense
of anachronism which now and then
became almost oppressive.
The professors pleasure at finding
himself once more amongst these IA
miliar surroundings was obvious and
intense The conversation between
him and his brother never tagged.
There were tenants and neighbors to
be asked after, matters concerning the
estate on which he demanded infor-
nation. Even the very servants
names he remembered.
"It was queer turn of fate, George"
he declared, as he held out before him
a wonderfully chased glass filled with
amber wine, (which sent you into the
world a few seconds before me and
made you lord Of Ashleigh and me a
struggling scientific man."
"The world has benefited by It,"
Lord Ashleigh remarked, with more
than fraternal courtesy. I'VE hear

ing. the horse SHE'D, the wheel
caught great stone by the side OF
the road, and all four men were
thrown out. The man to whom Craig
was handcuffed was stunned, but Craig
himself appears to have been unhurt.
He stumbled UP, took the key OF the
handouts from the pocket of the OIL
Ger, undid them and slipped OFF into
the underground before either the
groom or the other Scotland Yard man
had recovered their senses. To cut
long story short, this was last Thurs
day, and up till now not single trace
of the fellow has been discovered"
Quest rose abruptly to his feet.
"Say, I'd like to take this matter up
right on the spot where Craig disap-
peared," he suggested. Couldn't we
do that?"
by all means" Lord Ashleigb
agreed, touching bell. I'VE have
several hours before we change for
dinner. / will have car round and
take you to the spot"
The professor acquiesced readily,
and very soon they stepped out OF the
automobile on to the side Of a narrow
road, looking very much as 1t had been
described. Farther on, beyond a
stretch of open common, they could
sec the smoke from the gypsy en-,
campment. On their left-hand side
was a stretch of absolutely wild coun
try, bounded in the far distance by the
gray stone wall of the park. Lore
Ashleigh led the way through the
thicket, talking as he went.
"Craig came along through here

cred from the shock of poor Lena's
death in a marvellous manner, | be-

have brought 1t back to them. You

Quest"
"She has an aunt in Hampstead"
the latter explained 81 should have

"At the local police station, ! ex-
pect," the professor replied. MY
brother is a magistrate, of course, and
he would see that proper arrange
ments were made. There he is at the
hall door,"
| The carriage drew up before the
great front moment or two later.
Lord Ashleigh came forward with out
stretched hands, the genial smile of
the welcoming host upon his lips. In
his manner, however, there was dis
tinct note Of anxiety.
Edgar, my dear fellow" he ex
claimed, II am delighted! Welcome
back to your home! Mr.. Quest, ! am
very happy to see you here. You have
heard the news, of course?"

as soon as we could get together one
or two If the keepers and a few of
the local constabulary,. we started
on again from here. The dogs brought
ms without a check to this shed, and
started off again this way"
They walked another half mile
across a reedy swamp. Every now
and then they had to Jump across a
small dyke, and once they had to
make a detour 70 avoid an osier bed.
They came at last to the river.
Now, / can show you exactly how

When Craig arrived here Lord
Ashlefgh continued, "he must have

distance and he knew that the game
was mp unless he could put them Off
the scent. He cut quantity Of these
bulrusnes from place little farther
behind those trees, then stepped bold
ly INFO the middle of the water, wad-
ed down to that spot where as you
see, the trees hang over, stood stock
still and leaned them all around him.
1t was dusk when the chase reached
the river bank, and have no doubt
the bulrushes presented quite a natur-
al appearance At any rate, although
the dogs came without check to the

some entries concerning which | was
interested. 1t contains history OF
the Hamblin estate since the days OF
Cromwell, and here in the back, you
see, is a list of our farmers, bailiffs
and domestic servants. There was a
Craig who was tenant of the first
Lord Ashleigh and fought with him in
the Cromwellian wars as trooper
and since those days, so far as can
see, there has never been time when
there hasn't been Craig in the serv-
ice of our family. A fine race they
seem to have been, until"
Until when?" Quest demanded.
The look of trouble had once more
clouded the professors face. He
shrugged his shoulders slightly.
Until Craig's father" he admitted.
81 am afraid l must admit that we
come upon bad piece of family his
| tory here. Silas Craig entered the
service of my father in 1858, as under
gamekeeper. Here we come upon the
first black mark against the name.
He appears to have lived reputably
for some years, and then, after a quar-.
rel with neighbor about some trivial
matter, he deliberately murdered him
crime for which he was tried and
executed In 1867. John Craig, his only
son, entered our service in $780, and
| when left England, accompanied me
as my valet"
There was moments silence
"Lenora and I are sailing tomor
row." Quest said. 1--WE are taking
over the necessary warrants and shall
bring Craig back here for trial"
TIE professor smoked thoughtful,
for some moments. Then he rose de
liberately to his feet. He had come
to decision. He announced it calm
ly, but irrevocably.

England, but apart from that l feel il

see that he has a fair chance, and

these crimes. Is Miss Laura accom-
panying you. tod"
Quest shook his head.
From what the surgeons tell u.s.
he said, 1T will be some weeks before
she is able to travel. At the same
time, l must tell you that am glad OF
your decision, professor"

II cannot rest in this state of uncer

heart the urgent necessity of seeing
him face to face, of holding him by

some excitement as the carriage
passed through the great gates of
Hamblin park. He acknowledged
with smile the respectful curtsy of
the woman who held it open.
