and Hugh's eyes glistened at the clev-
ing. Whether they believed it or not,
there was not a soul in the room by
this time who was not consumed with
eagerness to put the Chinese cabinet
to the test.
"Supposing you took my pearls, Mr..
Ram Dar," said the duchess diffident-
ly. 81 know that compared to such
historic jewels they are poor, but per-
haps it would not be sacrilege."
Not muscle on Lakington's face
twitched, though it was the thing he
had been playing for. Instead he
seemed to be sunk in 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.
81 will try" he announced briefly,
and the duchess headed the chorus of
delight. "Will the Presences stand
back, and you, your Grace, take that?'
| He handed her the piece of material.
''No hand but yours must touch the
pearls. Wrap them up inside the sill
| yer and gold" Aloofy he watched
the process. "Now advance alone, and
open the box. Place the pearls in
side. Now shut and lock it." Obedi-
emily the duchess did as she was bid
| then she stood waiting for further in
structions.
But apparently by this time the
| Great BroOding Spirit was beginning
to take effect. Singing monotonous
| harsh chant, the Indian knelt on the
| floor, and poured some powder into
a little brazier. He was still close
| to the open window, and finally he sat
| down with his elbows on his knees,
| and his head rocking to and fro in
his hands.
'Less light-less light! y The words
seemed to come from a great distance
| l-ventriloquism in mild way was
one of Lakington's accomplishments
and as the lights went out greenish,
spluttering flame rose from the brazier.
A heavy. odorous smoke filled the
room, but framed and motionless in
| the eerie light sat the Indian, staring
| fixedly in front of him. After a time
the chant began again; it grew and
swelled in volume till the singer grew
frenzied and beat his head with his
hands. Then abruptly it stopped.
| "Place the box upon the floor" he
ordered, sin the light of the Sacred
Fire. Hugh saw the duchess kneel
down on the opposite side of the
brazier, and place the box on the floor.
while the faces of the guests-strange
and ghostly in the great light-peered
/ like specters out of the heavy smoke.
This was undoubtedly show worth
| watching.
"Open the box!" Harshly the words
rang through the silent room, and with
fingers that trembled little the duch-
ess turned the key and threw back
| the lid.
"Why, it's empty!' she cried in
amazement, and the guests craned for
ward to look.
PUT not your hand inside" cried
the Indian in sudden warning, 'or per-
chance it will remain empty"
The duchess rapidly withdrew her
hand. and stared incredulously through
the smoke at his impassive face.

in the box?" he said dreamily. aThe

Worlds Largest Spring.

What is the largest spring in the

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 10000 gallons of water
every minute. 1t gives rise to a river
25O feet wide at its source. This

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. a...
Like old times, boys" he laughed.
''Where's the driver of the lorry?"
"That's me, sir" One of them
stepped forward.
"Good," said Hugh. stake your bus
ten miles from here: then drop that
crowd one by one on the road as you
go along You can take 1t 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.
"NOw," went on Hugh, as they heard
the sound of the departing lorry,
we've got to set the scene for to-
morrow morning." He glanced at his
watch. Just eleven. How long will
1t take me to get the old buzz-box to
Laidley TOwers?"
"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-
deavOr 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 a 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 intimidated
rabbit gave a frightened squeak.
Good heavens! you ruffian, this is
beyond a joke"
Hugh looked at him coldly.
S'You'll find it beyond a joke, you
miserable little rat" he said quietly,
''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 COM
pany pow-wow before popping the
parapet What! And it's bigger
show this time, boys, than any you've
had over the water. Gather round,
and listen to me-" .r.s
For five minutes he spoke, and his
audience nodded delightedly. Apart
from their love. for Drummond-and
three out of every four of them knew
him personally-it was a scheme which
tckled them to death. And he was
careful to tell them just enough of the
sinister design of the maSter-criminal
to make them realize the bigness Of
the issue.
That's all clear, then," said Drum
mond, rising "Now I'm off, Toby,
1 want you to come, too. We ought
to be there by midnight"
NThere's only one point, captain"
remarked the American, as the group
began to disperse. "That safe-and

properly and your sleep does not refresh you as
it should.
