through the grasses" And suddenly he
threw back his head and laughed, a
fierce, mOcking laugh then he swung
round and faced the room. For a while
he stood ~mOtiOnleSS, and Hugh. from
the shelter Of the bushes, wondered
whether the two quick flashes that
had come from his robe as he spoke
flashes such as a small electric torch
will give, and which were unseen by
anyone else-were a signal to the de-
funct chauffeur.
Then a peculiar look came over the
Indians face, as his eyes fell on q
Chinese cabinet.
where did the Protector of the
Poor obtain the sacred cabinet of the
Chow kings" He peered at it rever-
emily. and the duke coughed.
"One of my ancestors picked 1T up
somewhere" he answered APOLOGIZE
cally.
Fashioned with the blood of men,
guarded with their lives, and one of
your ancestors picked it up" The
duke withered completely under the
biting scOrn of the words, and seemed
about to say something, but the Indian
had turned away, and his long, delicate
fingers were lowering over the box.
With cleaning eyes he stared in
frort of him, and a woman shuddered
audhly.
What is it supposed 10 do?" she
ventured timidly.
For centuries that box contained
The jewels-precious beyond words
of the ~reigning queens of the Chow
dynasty. They were wrapped in sill
yer and gold tissue-Of which this is
Il feeble, modern substitute"
From "A cummerbund under his robe
he drew a piece Of shining material,
the appearance of which was greeted
with cries of feminine delight.
You would not ask m to commit
Sacrilege?" Quietly he replaced the
material in his belt and turned away,
and Hugh's eyes glistened at the clev-
erness with which the man was act
ing. Whether they believed it or not,

this time who was not consumed with
eagerness to put the Chinese cabinet
to the test.
Surprising you took my pearls, Mr..
Ram OAR" said the duchess diflident-
ly. II know that compared to such
historic jewels they are poor, but per-
haps it would not be sacrilege."
Not a muscle on Lakington's face
twitched, though it was the thing he
had been playing for. Instead he
seemed to be sunk lin thought, while
the duchess continued pleading, and
the rest of the party added their en-
treaties. Then, as If he had decided
| suddenly, he swung round.
II will try" he announced briefly.
and the duchess headed the chorus Of
delight. "Will the P~resences stand
back. and you. ydur Grace. take that?"
| He handed her the piece Of material.

when a few days later Hugh returned
her pearls TO the duchess, for a long
time neither she nor her husband
would believe that Ram Oar had been

was what happened as seen by the
fascinated onlooker crouching "a. the

Superbly disdainful, the Indian
after a short, meaningless patter, TO

was no doubt In that worthy's mind
that, at last, this wretched meddler
with things that concerned him not
had been Laid by the heels. Which
was as unfortunate for the chauffeur
rs ii had been for unwary Huns in
the past.
COntemptuOusly he rolled Drum
mond over; then, noting the relaxed
muscles and inert limbs, he laid his
gun on the ground preparatory to run
ming through his victims pockets. And
the fact that such an action was a
little more foolish than offering a man
eating tiger a peppermint lozenge did
not trouble the chauffeur. In fact,
nothing troubled him again.
He got out II gasping cry of ter

he had a blurred consciousness Of the
world upside down, and everything
was over. 1t was Olaki's most danger

victims wrists and hurting his body
over by a heave Of the legs. And nine
times Out Of ten the result was a
broken neck. This vas n of the

For a while the soldier stared at the
body, frOWning thOughtfully. To have

CHAPTER X-Continued.

Hugh walked to the top Of the
stairs. A grin spread over his face
as he saw half a dozen familiar faces
In the hall, and he hailed them
cheerily.
Like old times, boys" he laughed.
"Where's the driver OF the lorryt'
That's me, sir" One Of them
stepped forward.
Good" said Hugh. Take your bus
ten miles from here then drop that
crowd one by one on the road as YOU
go along. You can take it from me
that none Of 'em will say anything
about It, even when they wake up.
Then take her back TO your garage;
I'll see you later.
NOV" went on Hugh, as they heard
the sound Of the departing lorry,

morrow morning" He glanced at his
watch. "Just eleven. How long will

"Laidley Towers" echoed Darrell.
what the devil are you going there
for?"
81 just can't bear TO be parted from
Henry for one moment longer than
necessary" said Hugh quietly. And
Henry is there, in a praiseworthy en-
deav0r to lift the duchess pearls.
Dear Henry" His two fists clenched,
and the American, looking at his face,
laughed softly.
But 1t was only for q moment that
Drummond INDUCED in the pleasures
of anticipation all that could come
after. And just now there were other
things to be done-many others, If
events next morning were to go as
they should.
Take those two into the center
room" he cried. incidentally there's
q dead Boche on the floor, but he'll
come in very handy in my little
scheme"
"A dead Boche !" The inundated
rabbit ave a frightened squeak.

Hugh looked at him coldly.

IF you speak to me like that" He
laughed as the other shrank past him.
Three Of you boys in there" he or
dered briskly, 'and if either Of them
gives the slightest trouble clip him
over the head. Now let's have the
rest Of the crowd in here, Peter"
They came filing in, and Hugh
waved a CHEEKY hand in greeting.
How goes it, you fellows" he cried
with his infectious grin. Like a com
pany pow-wow before popping the
parapet. What! And it's q bigger
show this time, boys, than any you've
had over the water. Gather round,
and listen to me-"
For five minutes he spoke, and his
audience nodded delightedly. Apart
from their love for Drummond-and

The lberjans.

The lberianS were an ancieLt PEG
pie living at the mouth of the Iberus
(Ebro) river in eastern Spain. Later
the inhabitants of the entire peninsula
were called lberianS. The term now
is applied to the primitive NeOlithic
and bronze-age men whose remains
n relics are found in ancient graves
and g%rottoeS throughout western Eu'

long heads and short stature. The
term Iberia still is frequently used

Worlds LARGEST Sprino.

What is the largest spring in the
world? Florida has one which must
be near the head of the list. This is
called Wakulla spring. 1t is 400 feet
across, is so feet deep and flows at
the rate of 100000 gallons OF water
every minute. 1t gives rise to q river
go feet wide at its source. This
mammoth spring is situated about 10
miles from Tallahassee.--Outlook.

Laidley Towers was en- fete. The
duchess, determined that every con
ceivable stunt should be carried out
which would make for the entertain
ment Of her guests, had spared no
pains to make the evening Il success.
The duke, bored to extinction, had
been five times routed out of his study
by his interchangeable spouse, and was
now, at the moment Hugh first came
in sight of the house, engaged in shak-
ing hands with a tall, aristocratic-
looking Indian.
How d'y do" he murmured va
cantly. what did you say the dam
fellah's name was, my dear? he whis-
pered in a hOarSe undertOne to the
duchess, who stood beside him wei
coming the distinguished foreigner.
We're so glad you could come, Mr..
Ram Oar" remarked the duchess af-
fably. Everyone is so looking for
ward to your wonderful entertain
ment." Round her neck were the his
toric pearls, and as the Indian bowed
low over ntt OutSJTelClcu udlu, ilS
eyes cleaned for a second.
1t had been the marquis of Laidley
himself who had suggested getting
hold Of this most celebrated perform
er, who had apparently never been
in England before. And since the
marquis of Laidley's cOming-Of-age
was the cause of the whole evenings
entertainment, his suggestion had
been hailed with reclamation. How
he had heard about the Indian, and
from whom. were points about which
he was very vague; but since he was
a very vague young man, he fact
elected no comment. The main thing
was hat here, in the flesh, was a
dark, mysterious performer Of the oc-
cult, and what more could a house

closer to the open window. Suddenly
his jaw frightened Irma Peterson had
entered the room with young Laidley.

And it was at that moment that the

Evidently the scene was now set

careful to tell them just enough of the
sinister design Of the criminal
