 What makes you think it. was Brett?" asked Crewe. ''If he came back this way if he hoaxed you with telephone message in order to get you out of the house-he has shown a lamentable want of trust in you.''
 "He knows he can trust me-" she said confidently. "He can never doubt it after tonight

 She showed her faith in this assurance by unlocking the door. Taking the candle +ha lo1f -lo 1ol %1o o1o x1o passage and the hall again. She opened the front door and held the candle higher to light him out. She stood in the open doorway till Crewe reached the garden gate.
 He walked back along the front. The mist was still rising from the sea in great white pillows, which rolled across the beach and shrouded everything in an impenetrable veil. It penetrated unpleasantly into the eyes and throat, and Crewe was glad when he turned off the deserted parade and reached Sir George Granville's house.
 The servant who admitted him told him the family were in the drawing room, and thither he directed his steps. Lady Gran vile was seated at the piano, playing softly. Marsland in an easy chair was 1sslessly turning over the pages of bound volume of Punch. Sir Geo-e- was in another easy chair little distance away, nodiiLy in placid slumber with his handsome white beard on his breast, and an extinguished cigar between his fingers.
 Lady Granville smiled at Crewe as he entered, and stopped playing. The cessa- tion of the music awakened Sir George, and when he saw Crewe his eyes wandered toward the chess table.
 Do you feel inclined for a game of chess?" he exclaimed in his loud voice. q want my revenge, you know"
 "I1l be pleased to give it to you," re- sponded Crewe.
 "A very unpleasant night Outside,' said Marsland.
 "The mist seems to be thicker up this end of the front" replied Crewe. Have you been. out in it?
 II came in about five minutes ago I went for walk"
 Lady Granville took a book and seated herself not far from the chess table. Mars- land came and stood near the players, watch ing the game. He soon got tired of it, however, and went back to Punch. Sir George was a slow player at all times, and his anxiety when pitted against renowned player like Crewe made him slower than usual. He studied each move of Crewe's in all it's bearings before replying, scrutinizing the board with set face, endeavoring to penetrate his opponents intentions, and

CHAPTER 13

Crewe engaged a room in Whitethorn Gardens in order to watch Mrs. Penfield's movements, and took up his post of observa- ton immediately As he did not want Mrs. Penfield to know he was watching her house, he had chosen an attic bedroom on the opposite side and some distance higher up the steep street-an elevated vantage point, which not only commanded a view of all the houses in the street, but of great portion of Staveley and the surround ing countryside as we'll. From this eerie the detective could see the front, the downs and the distant cliff road to Ashlingsca; but the residence of Brett''s landlady en- grossed his attention.
 There was very little sign of life in the street. One or two old ladies walked primly in the front gardens before dusk, but went inside as soon as the evening sea-mist be- gan to rise. Sedate maidservants lit the gas and lowered blinds, and the street was left to darkness till lamplighter came and lit 8 street lamp which stood near No. 31. Crewe observed that the front

CHAPTER 14

Crewe steered to the stone landing place and tied the little motorboat to a rusty iron ring which dangled from a stout wooden stake, wedged between two of the seaweed covered stones. The tide was out, and the top of the landing place stood well out of the water, but it was an easy matter for a young and vigorous man to spring up to the top, though three rough and slippe&y steps had been cut near the ring, perhaps for the original builder in his old and infirm days
 Looking down, he noticed that while his little boat floated easily enough alongside, boat of slightly deeper draft would have scraped on the rocky bottom, which was visible through the clear water. The sur- face of the landing place was moist, and

Sir George was slow player at all times, and his anxiety when pitted against renowned player like Crewe made him slower than usual. He studied each move of Crewe's in all it's bearings before replying, scrutinizing the board with set face, endeavoring to penetrate his opponents intentions, and imagining subtle traps where none existed. Meanwhile his fingers lowered nervously above the pieces with the irresoluteness of a chess player weighed down by the heavy responsibility of his next move, and finally, when the plunge had been taken, Sir George sat back, stroking his long white beard doubtfully and fixed his eyes on Crewe, as though mutely asking his opinion of the move. "Game" seemed an inappropriate word to apply to chess as played by Sir George Granville.
 It was during one of these strategical pauses, after the game had been in progress for nearly an hour, that Crewe heard a frightened exclamation from Lady Granville. He looked up and saw Marsland standing near the fireplace with his hand over his heart, swaying as though about to fall. Crewe sprang forward and supported him to an easy chair.
 "A little brandy" said Crewe quietly.
 Sir George hurriedly brought decanter of brandy and glass, and Crewe poured a little down Marsland's throat. The color came slowly back to the young mans cheeks,

Second Person Saved
By Pasteur, Dies
In Paris

PARIS, Oct. 6. Henry
Julippe, the second person saved
from a horrible death by the
genius of Pasteur, is dead.
Forty years ago Julippe, then
a shepherd boy, was watching
his sheep with four other lads
when suddenly mad dog rush
ed at them. Julippe grappIed
with the beast and after q long
struggle succeeded in stunning
it by pounding its head with his
wooden shoes, but not before
he had been terribly bitten.
The lad was carried home to
die, as it was thought, but
someone remembered that, only
a few weeks before, Pasteur
had saved another boy. Joseph,
Meister, and Julippe was taken
to Paris.
Pasteur treated him with his
serum and he recovered, estab-
fishing beyond all doubt the eff
ficacy of the great scientists
discovery.
