"Oh!"

"Yes?"

rather monotonous high-pitched

Antony nodded quickly. THAT

Exactly"
Yes" He got up and squeezed
Bits arm. "Well just go and see
about Cayley. and then we'll get
moving. 1 shall be in the library"
Right"
Bill nodded and walked off in the
direction of the pond. This was
glorious fun; this was life. The i'm
mediate program could hardly be
bettered.
To Antony, who was older and
who realized into what deep waters
they were getting, it did not seem
fun. But it was amazingly interest
ing. 1t was like looking at an opal,
and discovering with every move
ment of it some new color. some
new CLEAN of light reflected, and yet
never really seeing the opal as a
whole. His brain could not get hold
of it.
But there were moments when he
almost had it . and then turned
away from it. He had seen more Of
life than Bill, but he had eve seen
murder before, and this which was
in his mind now, and to which he
was afraid to listen, was not just
the hot-blooded killing which any
man may come to If he lose control.
1t was something much more hor-
rible. Too horrible to be true. Then
let him look again for the truth. He
looked again-but it was all Out of
focus.
CHAPTER XIV
Bill had come back. and had re-
ported, rather breathless, that Cay
ley was still at the pond.
They stood in front of the row of
sermons. Antony took down the
Reverend Theodore Ussher's famous
volume, and felt for the spring. Bill
pulled. The shelves swung open
toward them.

row way"
There was an opening about a
yard square in front of them, which
had something the look of a brick
a fireplace raised about
two feet from the ground. But, save
for one row of bricks in front. the
floor of it was emptiness. Antony
took a torch from his pocket and
flashed it down into the ~blackness.
Look" he whispered to the eager
Bill. THE steps begin down there.
Six feet down."
He flashed his torch up again.
There was a handhold of iron, a sort
of large iron staple, in the bricks
in front of them.

The light shone down by his feet.
His head began to disappear. For
a little while Bill, craning down the
opening, could still see faint splash

certain footsteps; for a little longer
he could fancy that he saw and
heard them; then he was alone . :.

such a fine afternoon. Desperately

inside the Office. whoever had killed
Robert. Cayley knew all about it,
ana knew n a Mark was not inside,
and had not escaped by the window.
But 1t was necessary to Cayley's
plans-to Marks plans if they were
acting In concert-that he should
be thought so to have escaped. At
some time. then, while he was ham
mering (the key in his pocket) at
the locked door. he must suddenly
have remembered-with what a
shock!-that a mistake had been
made. A window had not been left
open!
And then Antony's sudden ap-
pearance! Here was a complication.
And Antony suggesting that they
should try the window! Why, the
window was just what he wanted to
avoid. No wonder he had seemed
dazed at first.
All, and here at last was the ex-
PLANTATION why they had gone the
longest way round-and yet run. 1t
was Cayley's only chance of getting
a start on Antony, of getting to the
WINDOWS first, of working them open
somehow before Antony caught him
up. Even If that were impossible,
he must get there first, just to make
sure.
So he had run. But Antony had
kept UP with him. They had broken
in the window together, and gone
into. the office. But Cayley was not
done yet. There was the dressing
room window But quietly, quietly.
Antony mustn't hear.
And Antony didn't hear. Indeed,
he had played up to Cayley SPLEEN
didly. Not only had he called at
tention to the open window, but he
had carefully explained to Cayley
why Mark had chosen this particu-
lar window in preference to the
office window. And Cayley had
agreed that probably that was the
reason. How he must have chuckled
to himself!
They were outside on the lawn
again now, Bill and Antony, and Bill
was listening openmouthed to his
friends theory of yesterdays hap
penings. 1t only gave them another
mystery to solve.
