Slowly he backed toward the win
dow, unpercaived in the general ex-
element; and Hugh lodged rapidly
toward the car. 1t struck him that
the seance was over, and he Just had
time to see darlington snatch some
thing which appeared to have been
let down by a string from above, be-
fore turning into the bushes and rae
ing for the car AS it was he was
only a second or two in front Of the
other, and the last vision he had
through a break in the trees, before
they were spinning smoothly down the
deserted read, was an open window in
Laidley Towers from which dense
volumes Of vapor poured steadily out.
OF the house party behind, waiting for
the light to burn low in the hrazlel,
he could see no sign through the
Opaque wall Of green fog.
1t took five minutes so he gathered
afterward from a member of the house
party, before the light had burned suf-
ficiently low for the duchess to con-
slider it safe to touch the pearls.
In various stages of asphyxiation
the assembled guests had peered at
the box, while the cynical comments
of the men were rightly treated by the
ladies with the contempt they de-
served. Was the necklace not there,
wrapped in its gold and silver tissue,
where d few minutes before there had
been nothing?
"Some trick of that beastly light"
remarked the duke peevishly. For
heavens sake throw the dam thing
out of the window"
Don't be fool, john" retorted
his spouse. IF you could do this sort
of thing, the house Of lords might
be some use to somebody"
When two minutes later they stared
horror-struck at a row Of ordinary
marbles laboriously unwrapped from
a piece Of gold and silver tissue, the
dukes pungent agreement with his
wife's sentiment passed uncontra-
dicted. In fact it is to be understood
that over the scene which followed ii
