He then said good-day to the doctor
and set Off toward the village. But

Mr. Marshall Stead, left to himself
and his own thoughts In the solitude
of a not too spacious or comfortable
cell, felt that the situation in which
he now found his hitherto confident
personality placed was one which had
great disadvantages.
Until that moment he had never
upon any occasion known what 1t was
to be nonplussed; full OF resource all
his life he had invariably converted
every situation to his own good He
was sure now that he could make
something out of this, If only he could
regain his liberty. But the walls of
his cell were as thick as those of
the old castle. to all appearances The
window was a mere pane of dull glass
covered with iron bars. The door
looked as If IL would never open
again under any circumstances. OBJ
viously, Mr.. Stead was in what is
vulgarly called a tight place; but
being philosophic. he sat down on his
/ Hstool-which was all that was pro-
vded to sit on--and considered mat
ters.
And. after all, he reflected. with a
species of interior mirth, they could
not get at his money. He had al

considerable sum of money in any
local bank. Beyond q sum of about
a hundred and seventy pounds lying
at call in the bank not twenty yards
away from where he was sitting. a
captive, all his worldly wealth was
in London and elsewhere-in other
I names.
If he could only get out and get
away from Mannersley. He felt in
clined to curse or to kick himself for
not clearing off Immediately after the
scene with Phiilipa- But how could

now he could not understand how

! And then sudden thought came
to Mr.. Stead. which made him jump
from his stool and begin to pace the
narrow confines of his cell with rapid
strides. He knew the exact geog-
raphy of the police station. for he
was friendly with the architect who
built it, and had often been ever il
with him in the process of building.
He knew that the cell in which he
had been placed was the last Of a
series of four in a passage which
terminated with a door at the back
of the police station; if he could
once get out of his cell into that pas
