came up to Peterson, and Hugh heard
the words distinctly.
'@Then he's probably over at Ben
toms house. will go and see"
Hugh watched the thick-set, mas
sive figure stroll down toward the
wicket gate, and he laughed gently
to himself. Then he grew serious
again. and with a slight frown he
pulled out his watch and peered at 1t.
Half-past one /. 1. two more hours
before dawn. And in those two hours
he wanted to explore the house from
on top; especially he wanted to have
look at the mysterious central room
of which Phyllis had spoken to him.
the room where darlington kept his
treasures. But until the excited
throng below went indoors, it was
unsafe to move. Once out of the
shadow, any one would be able to
see him crawling over the roof in the
moonlight.
AT times the thought of the help
less man for whose death he had in
one way been responsible required to
him, but he shook his head angrily.
1t had been necessary, he realized:
you can carry someone upstairs In
normal house without him having
his neck broken-but still . :. And
then he wondered who he was. 1t
had been one of the men who sat
round the table-of that he was toler-
ably certain. But which -? Vas
it the frightened bunny, or the Rus
sian, or the gentleman with the blood
shot eye? The only comfort was that
whoever 1t had been, the world would
not be appreciably the poorer for his
sudden decease. The only regret was
that 1t hadn't been dear Henry. /. ;.
He had a distate for Henry which
far exceeded his dislike of Peterson.
Hes not over there" Peterson's
voice came to him from below. "And
we've wasted time enough as it u.s."
The men had gathered together In
group, just below where Hugh was
sitting, evidently awaiting further or
ders.
"Do you mean to say we've lost the
young swine againw said darlington
angrily.
"Not lost-merely mislaid," MUIR
INJURED Peterson "The more i see of
him the more do I admire his initia-
tive"
Lexington snorted.
ut was that id fool Ivolsky's own
fault" he snarled; "why didn't he
keep still as he was told to do?"
"Why, indeed" returned Peterson
his cigar glowing red. "And Pm
afraid we shall never know. He is
very dead" He turned toward the
house. "That concludes the enter
tainment, gentlemen, for tonight.
think you can all go to bed"
He disappeared into the house, and
the others followed slowly. For the
time being Hugh was safe, and with
a sigh of relief he stretched his
cramped limbs and lay back against
the sloping roof. If only he had dared
to light cigarette.

THREE.

1t was half an hour before Drum
mond decided that it was safe to start
exploring. First he took off his shoes,
and tying the laces together, he slung
them around his neck. Then, as ST.
lently as he could, he commenced to
scramble upward.
1t was not an easy operation; one
slip and nothing could have stopped
him sliding down and finally crash
ing into the garden below, with
broken leg, at the very least, for his
pains. In addition, there was the
risk Of dislodging slate, an unwise
proceeding In a house where most of
the occupants slept with one eye open.
But at last he got his hands over the
ridge of the roof, and in another mo-
ment he was sitting straddleyise
across it.
A sudden rattle close to him made
him start violently; only to curse him
self for a nervous ass the next mo-
ment, and lean forward eagerly. One
of the blinds had been released from
inside the room, and a pale, diffused
light came filtering out into the night
from the side of the glass roof. He
was still craning backward and for
ward to try and find some chink
through which he could see, when,
with kind of uncanny elaboration,
one of the panes of glass slowly
opened. 1t was worked on a ratchet
from inside, and Hugh bowed his
thanks to the unseen operator below.
Then he leant forward cautiously, and
peered in.
The whole room was visible to him,
and his jaw frightened as he took in
the scene. In an armchair, smoking
as unconcernedly as ever, sat Peter
son. He was reading letter, and
occasionally UNDERLYING some point
with pencil Beside him on table
was big ledger, and every now and
then he would turn over a few pages
and make an entry. But it was not
Peterson on whom the watcher above
was concentrating his attention; 1T
was darlington, taking a red velvet

opened it lovingly, and Hugh saw the
flash of diamonds. darlington let the
stones run through his hands, glitter
ing with a thousand flames, while Pc
terson watched him CONTEMPORARY.
"Baubles," he said, scornfully.
Pretty baubles. What will you get
for them?"
'Ten, perhaps fifteen thousand" re-
turned the other "But it's not the
money 1 care about; it's the delight
in having them, and the skill required
to get them"
Peterson shrugged his shoulders.
"Skill which would give you hun
dreds of thousands If you turned it
into proper channels"
Lexington replaced the stones, and
threw the end of his cigarette into
the CRATE.
Possibly, Carl, quite possibly. But
it boils down to this, my friend, lat
you like the big canvas with broad
effects; like the miniature and the
well-drawn etching"
(which makes us very happy COM
bination," said Peterson. "The pearls.
don't forget, are your job. The big
thing''-he turned to the other, and
a trace of excitement came into his
voice-"the big thing is NINE"
The sound of the door opening made
both men swing round instantly; then
Peterson stepped forward with a
smile as Irma entered.
