address of the anxious advertiser: but
as he did not. and could think of nc
means of finding it out, he could dc
nothing to match the pieces of the
puzzle together.
A Mr.. Warren Lockwood wrote
from the Laurels, Pleasant avenue,
Barnet, saying that friends had rec
commended Mr.. Race and his car.
Would Mr.. Race be so kind as to drive
his Scarlet Runner out to the Laur-
els, arriving as near 5 o'clock as he
could make II convenient? For a
weeks trip Mr.. Lockwood was pre-
pared to offer the round sum Of 100
guineas, he stated in Ia postscript,
which also asked for a wire.
Taking everything together Chris
TOPPER determined that it would be
as well. at least, to call at the Laurels,
and sent wire to that effect. Start
ing from Scarlet Runners garage at
7, he found the fog so densely thick
ened that he doubted if he could find
the way.
Towards Regents park the fog lifted
slightly. but in Finchley road it set
tied again as densely as ever, and he
could go at little more than walk
ing pace.
Suddenly, at what seemed to be a
corner Of the wide country road not

and with quick desire for-vengeance
he started to run in the direction
whence the first rustling had pro-
Ceeded.
A shadow doomed ahead. Christie
pher sprang at 1t, only to seize the
beetlng branches of a young larch or
yew tree, and at the same time to
receive blow on the shoulder from
belinda sharp, unexpected blow
which sent him pitching forward. Be-
fore he could recover his balance,
the ground seemed to vanish from un-
der his feet, and he plunged with a
great splash into the stagnant water
of the moat
For a few seconds he floundered
clumsily, then got to his feet-for the
water, though ice-cold. was not deep.
By cropping he came upon broken
place in the moat wall, where he
could get foothold and handhold of a
precarious kind. After a slip or two
he succeeded in climbing out, and de-
spite the danger of being shot at
again, devoted his attention to Kidding
himself of as many weeds and as
much loose mud as possible The per-
son who had played him these two
sorry tricks, one upon the other, had
probably exhausted his forces for the
moment. In any case no further at
tack was made, and after walk

She then unlocked an enormous key

of what the upper stories had been,
but, as Christopher had been led by
his late adventure to expect, the keep
was in a better state of preservation
than the rest. He asked no questions,
but going up steep stone stairway
which would lead, he knew, to a GER
