much like an intelligent pointer hunting
for game. He examined each tree closely
from the bole upward Suddenly he gave Il
shout of triumph.
Look here, Crewe."
He had come to standstill at a tree
which stood few yards on the downs
away from the wind serena small stunted
oak with low and twisted branches Fair
in the center of its gnarled trunk was a
small hole, which Gillett was hacking at
with a small penknfe. As Crewe reached
his side he triumphantly extracted a bullet
which had been partly flattened by CON
tact with the tree.
"By jove" he exclaimed. "What a piece
of luck. What a piece of luck,'
He held the bullet in the palm of his
left hand, turning it over and over with
the penknife which he held in his right
He absorbed in his discovery that
he did not notice Crewc stoop and pick
up some small object which lay in the grass
few yards from the tree.

CHAPTER %

NI1fAE Il
Crewe and Marsland sat at table in Sir
George Granville's library with the cryptic
gram before them. The detective was alb
sorbed in examining it through magni-
flying glass, but MarsIand kept glancing
from the paper to his companions face. as
though he expected to see there some indi-
cation of an immediate solution Finally
he remarked in tone which suggested he
was unable to control his Impotence any
longer:
''Well, what do you make of it -
mot very much as yet replied Crewc
putting down the magnifying glass. "but
there are one two points of interest
In the first place, the paper has been cut
with pair of scissors from the flyleaf or
title page of an old book-an expensive
book of its period of the late fifties,
should say-but the writing is of much
later date These facts obvious, and
do not help us much toward a solution
of the contents"
''They may be obvious to you, but they
are not so obvious to me-" said Marsland
taking the paper into his hands and looking
at it thoughtfully. 81 suppose you judge
the sheet to have been taken from an old
book because it is yellow with age. but
why an expensive one of the fifties? And
how do you know it was cut with pair
of scissors? Again, how do you know the
writing is of much later date than the
book? The ink is completely faded y
''The smooth yellow and glossy surface
of the blank side of the paper indicates
conclusively that it is the title page or
4 aIa, ~ -
You will not find that peculiar yellow color
which is not the effect of age-and vel
vety feel in books of much later date.
The unevenness of the cut proves that the
sheet was taken from the book with pair
of scissors; haven't you ever noticed that
nobody-except, perhaps, paperhanger-
can cut straight with pair of scissors? 1t
it had been cut with knife it might have
slanted little. but it would have been
straighter; a knife cut is always straighter
than the wavering cut of pair Of scissors
directed by the eye. The faded ink proves
nothing; inferior ink such is sold in
small village shops-from where the ink
at Cliff Farm was probably procured-will
fade in few days. it is only the best ink
that retains its original color for any
lenSCh OF time. Dut tne character OF tiiS
writing indicates to that it was writ
ten with particular kind of fine nib, which
was not invented till after 1900
"Can you make anything of the figures
and letters on the paper?" asked Marsland
"That is where our difficulties commence.
We have to ascertain the connection be-
tween the figures and the letters and the
circle to find out whether the former ex
plain the latter or whether the circle ex-
plains the figures and the letters. If the
figures and the letters are eryptogram
we ought to be able to find the solution
without much difficulty. The circle, how
ever. is a remarkable device, and it is diff
ficult to fathom its meaning without some
thing to guide us. l thought at first it
might have been capable of some Masonic
