aisht might lead to our being shot before
we were recognized.
1t was . moonless night. The streets
were empty and deserted. Heading d.
rectly for the Black Door Inn we very
quickly reached the open square on which
it fronted. Standing In an alcove across
the square We watched for any suspicious
or suggestive signs, but there were none.
All was quiet, peaceful and ilent. Passing
further down to the street we crossed and in
a leisurely manner approached the inn from
the opposite direction. The public room
was dark, the house had closed for the night
long since.
Undoubtedly the casks we sought had been
placed in the wine cellar, but no external
openings to this were anywhere to be seen
on the street side.
While personally was far from satisfied
with the rcsalts of our survey, the whole
atmosphere was one Of such peaceful tran
Quillity and perfect assurances that hesi-
tated to suggest . continuance Of the fruit

loss Of a nights rest to the captain.

how were We to reach the cellar without
srousing the household and thus disclosing

the inn searching for an entrance, BY door
or window: As well might we have searched
for the fountain Of youth. There was NO
opening Of any kind.
At the rear Of the house we stumbled owe,

had been made.
Extinguishing our candle we felt< our
way into the cellar. This was By no
means an easy task at frst, As our progress
was obstructed by chests, bales. casks and
other debris. Emerging from behind q huge
pile of merchandise at last we found that
the place was already lighted BY two lamps.
There they are!" whispered.
Quite so," answered Lord Harry, "and.
since a crow never knows how many eggs
are in the nest uptil he looks, suppose We
settle the question uppermost in our minds
By taking q look at them"
Before we could take half q dozen steps
the sound of approaching voices caused us
to hastily seek cover. Two Of the house
servants entering from one Of the doorways
we had already noticed, passed through the
cellar and out the door leading to the upper
floor. --.. .> .-..
When all was still once more we made
our way to the nearest cask. The cover
was resting lightly upon it. Removing this
we grasped the barrel TO test its weight.
II was empty. Tipping it 30 that the light
could shine into the interior we saw to our
surprise that the cask was absolutely new
and unmarked BY use. The age, weather
marks and stains defacing the exterior had
been srtibcislly produeeds thrill ran
over US as the possible significance Of this
discovery dawned upon Us.
IF wine did not come in this something

its arrival"
