sheltered him from view he stopped and
moved along in leisurely fashion. 1t took
him at least ten minutes to reach the crest
Of the little hill that Swallowed the lodge.
There he paused and looked out over the
rolling country to the west. He drew his
handkerchief from his pocket and waved It
high over his head.
From somewhere afar on came a faint
long-drawn whistle. Owen put the haudker-
chief back in his pocket and waited.
"Balthazar is an excellent servant
