brother and Lady Ashleigh have recov- cred from the shock of poor Lena's death in a marvellous manner, I be heve, but the sight of the girl might have brought it back to them. You nave left her with friends, I hope, MT. Quest?"
 She has an aunt in Hampstead" the latter explained T should have liked to see her safely there my self, but we should have been an hour or two later down here, and I tell you," he went on, his voice gather Ing note almost of ferocity, "I'm wanting to get my hands on that fel low Craig! I wonder where they're holding him"
 At the local police station, I ex- pect,' the professor replied. My brother is 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 a dis tinct note of anxiety.
 Edgar, my dear fellow" he ex- claimed, T am delighted! Welcome back to your home! MT. Quest, am very happy to see you here. You have heard the news, of course?"
 We have heard nothing," the pro lessor replied.
 You didn't go to Scotland Yard?" Lord Ashleigh asked
 We haven't been to London at all, Quest explained. We got on the boat train at Plymouth, and your brother managed to induce one of the directors whom he saw on the platform to stop the train for us at Hamblin road. We only left the boat two hours ago. There's nothing wrong with Craig, is there?"
 Lord Ashleigh motioned them to fol low him.
 Please come this way" he invited.
 AiN 'Cu 'hcLi 1Sioo tlie udil-WilSh' dlmly lit and with its stained-glass windows, was almost like the nave of a cathedral-into the library beyond, He closed the door and turned around.
 T have bad news for you both," he announced. Craig has escaped"
 Neither the professor nor Quest be- trayed any unusual surprise So far as the latter was concerned, his first glimpse at Lord Ashleigh's face had warned him of what was coming.
 Dear mel" the professor mur- mured, sinking into an easy chair. This is most unexpected!"
 We'll get him again." Quest de clared quickly. Gan you let us have

as soon as we could get together one or two of the keepers and a few of the local constabulary, we started off again from here, The dogs brought us 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 to avoid an osier bed. They came at last to the river.
 Now, 1 can show you exactly how that fellow put us off the scent here" their guide proceeded. He seems to have picked up something, Edgar, in those South American trips of yours, for cleverer thing I never saw. You see all these bulrushes every whereabouts of them all along the river?"
 We call them tules," Quest nut tered. Well?"
 When Craig arrived here" Lord Ashleigh continued, he must have heard the paying of the dogs in the distance and he knew that the game was up unless he could put them off the scent. He cut quantity of these bulrushes from a place little farther behind those trees, then stepped bold ly into 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. It was dusk when the chase reached the river bank, and I have no doubt the bulrushes presented quite a natur- al appearance. At any rate, although the dogs came without a check to the edge of the river, where he stepped of, they never picked the scent up again either on this side or the other.

the particulars of his escape, Lord Ashleigh? The sooner we get the hang of things the better"
 You know, of course," he began, that Craig was arrested at Liverpool in consequence of communications from the New York police. I under stand that it was with great difficulty he was discovered, and it is quite clear that someone on the ship had been heavily bribed. However, he was ar rested, brought to London, and then down here for purposes of identifica- ton. I would have gone to London myself, and, in fact, offered to do so, but on the other hand, as there are many others on the estate to whom he was well known, I thought that it would be better to have more evi- dence than mine alone. Accordingly, they left London one afternoon, and I sent dogcart to the station to meet them. They arrived quite safely and started for here, Craig handcuffed to one of the Scotland Yard men on the back seat, and the other in front with the driver. About half mile from the south entrance to the park the road runs across rather desolate strip of country with lot of low undergrowth on one side. We have had little trouble with poachers there, as there is sort of gypsy camp on some com mon land little way away. My head keeper to whom the very idea of poacher is intolerable, was patrolling this ground himself that afternoon and caught sight of one of these gypsy fellows setting trap. He chased him. and more, I am sure, to frighten him than anything else, when he saw that the fellow was getting away, he fired his gun, just as the dogcart was pass

CHAPTER XIX.

The professor rose from his seat in 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.
 You have now an opportunity, my dear MT Quest" he said, of appre- ciating one feature of English life not entirely reproducible in your own wonderful country. I mean the home life and surroundings of our aristoc- racy. You see these oak trees?" he went on, with a little wave of his hand. They were planted by my an- cestors in the days of Henry VIII. have been a student of tree life in South America and in the dense for ests of central Africa, but for real character, for splendor of growth and hardness, there is nothing in the world to touch the Ashleigh oaks
 They're some trees.' the criminol- ogist admitted.
 You notice, perhaps, the small ones, which seem dWarfed. Their tops were cut off by the lord of Ash leigh on the day that Lady Jane Grey was beheaded. Queen Eliza beth heard of it and threatened to confiscate the estate. Look at the turf, my friend. Ages have gone to the making of that messy, velvet carpet"
 "Where's the house?" Quest in quired.
 "A mile farther on yet. The woods part and make a natural avenue past the bend of the river there," the pro- lessor pointed out. Full of trout, that river, Quest. How used to whip that stream when I was boy!"
 They swept presently round a bend in the avenue. Before them on the hillside surrounded by trees and with a great walled garden behind, was Hamblin house. Quest gave vent to a little exclamation of wonder as he looked at it.
 "This is where you've got us beat, sure" he admitted Our country places are like gewgaw palaces com pared to this. Makes me kind of sorry" he went on regretfully, that I didn't bring Lenora along"
 The professor shook his head
 You were very wise," he said. "My

Everything was in harmony, evsn the grave precision of the soIemn-faeed 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 hls sur roundings, and 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 Jagged. 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.
 Tt 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. We hear

some entries concerning which I was interested It contains a history of the Hamblln estate since the days of cromwell, and here in the back, you see, IS list of our farmers. bailiffs and domestic servants. There was a Craig who was a tenant of the first Lord Ashleigh and fought with him in the Cromwellian wars as a trooper and since those days, so far as I can see, there has never been a time when there hasn't been g. 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 Craigs father" he admitted. 1 am afraid I 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 Hrst black mark against the name lie 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 1880. and. when l left England, accompanied me as my valet"
 There was moments silence,
 Lenora and I are sailing tomor- row. Quest said. We are taking over the necessary warrants and shall bring Craig back here for trial"
 The professor smoked thoughtfully for some moments. Then he rose de- liberately to his feet. He had come to a decision. He announced it calm ly, but irrevocably.
 T shall come with you" he an nounced. T shall be glad to visit England, but apart from that I feel it to be my duty. 1 owe it to Craig to see that he has a fair chance, and I owe it to the law to see that he pays ehC pOhdlIy, II, luuccu, uc IS SuIlty Ol these crimes. Is Miss Laura accom- panying you, too?'
 Quest shook his head.
 From what the surgeons tell us" he said, it will be some weeks before she is able to travel. At the same time, must tell you that I am glad of your decision, professor"
 Tt is my duty" the latter declared T cannot rest in this state of uncer- tainty. If Craig is lost to me, the sooner I face the fact the better. At the same time I will be frank with you. Notwithstanding all the accumu- lated pile of evidence I feel in my heart the urgent necessity of seeing him face to face, of holding him by the shoulders and asking him whether these things are true. We have faced death together, Craig and I. We have done more than that-we have court ed it. There is nothing about him can accept from hearsay. I shall go with you to England, MT. Quest"

Ing The horse shied, 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 st med, but Craig hlmself appears to have been unhurt lie stumbled up, took the key of the handcuffs from the pocket of the off eer. undid them and slipped off into the undergrowth 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 a 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 Ashleigh agreed, touching a bell. We have several hours before we change for dinner. l will have a 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 it had been described. Farther on, beyond a stretch of open common, they could see the smoke from the gypsy en- eampment. On their left-hand side was stretch of absolutely wild coun- try, bounded in the far distance by the gray stone wall of the park. Lord Ashleigh led the way through the thicket, talking as he went
 Craig came along through here" he explained. The groom and the Scotland Yard man who had been sitting by his side, followed him. They searched for an hour. but found no trace of him at all. Then they re turned to the house to make re- port and get help. I will now show you how Craig first eluded them.''
 He led the way along a tangled path doubled back, plunged into a little spinney and came suddenly to a small shed.
 This is an ancient gamekeeper' s shelter,' he explained; built a long time ago and almost forgotten now What Craig did. without doubt, was to hide in this. The Scotland Yard man who took the affair in hand found distinct traces here of recent occupa- tion. That is how he made his first escape"
 Quest nodded.
 Sure" he murmured Well, now what about your more extended search?"
 T am coming to that" Lord Ash. leigh replied. "As Edgar will re- member, no doubt, have always kept a few bloodhounds in my kennels, and
