of an additional $4,000.
A corps of trained first aid men,
numbering from a minimum Of 10 TO

Shafts were concerted, stations we're

his wicked plans. 1t was situated in one of the most
desolate spots in the British Isles and just such
house would associate with dark deeds.
Built in Elizabethan times on the dungeons and for
tfcations of an ancient castle, could well imagine
that it would have its appeal to lady of Miss Hol-
lands romantic nature and artistic perceptions; but
to a man with murder in his heart it would at once
suggest itself as emnently suitable for his criminal
purpose.
The moat which gave the farm its name stretched
all around the old castle. 1t was lined with bull
rushes, and its grim and stagnant waters added to
the prevailing gloom and air of desolation. The only
access to the house was by small bridge, resting
upon two brick arches and leading to the front door
One has only to mention that the main road-a very
unfrequented ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mile and quar-
ter away, and the nearest house mile distant, TO
give the reader a still more vivid impression of the
loneliness of the farm.
1t was in this desolate place that Dougal and Miss
Holland-who were known in the neighborhood as
Mr.. and Mrs. Dougal'-went to live. They had
been there only about three weeks when Miss Hol-
land mysteriousy disappeared, though Dougal al
ways had plausible story ready to account for her
absence.
The servant girl in the house knew "Mr. and Mrs.
Douga had set out IN the trap evening, and that
Dougal had returned alone, saying her mistress had
gone to London" That evening Dougal went out
several times ostensibly to visit the station to meet
her on her return, but she failed to turn up. Next
morning ne told the girl he had just received letter
from Mrs. Dougal."
'She says she is going to have little holiday" he
explained pleasantly.
The servant girl was very perturbed in mind over
her mistress absence, for Douglas conduct on pre-
vious occasions had led her to complain to Mrs.
D0ugaL' SO, fearing to be left alone in the house
with him, she left that morning.
For four years after Miss Holland had left the
district nobody heard anything about her, but she
was presumably alive, for checks signed by her were
frequently being cashed at the bank by Dougal
Nevertheless, as might have been expected In such
rural district, all kinds of weird stories were afoat

was called

Farm and made inquiries about the
missing lady, who was said to be
concealed in a cupboard. The>su-
perintendent said he would like to
make a search, and to this Dougal
readily assented. Of course, the
officer found nothing, but Dougal
was mistaken in thinking that he
had easily cleared himself of all
suspicion.
Those frequent checks, signed
Camille C. Holland" came at last
to be closely examined, and it was
decided they were forged. Shortly
afterward it was proved that a
number of letters to Miss Hollands
stockholders and signatures to GER
tain checks were cleverly executed
forgeries, and on the strength of
these facts a warrant was issued
for the arrest of Dougal on a charge
of forgery.
But Dougal had not been feeling
too comfortable since the visit of the
police to the farm, and apparently
decided that the time had come for
him to leave the district. Accord
ingly he cashed a large check at
the Birkbeck Bank, drawing nearly
the whole amount in bank bills.
Then he bolted, and for some
days the police lost trace of him.
His arrest, however, was not long
delayed, taking place exactly a
fortnight after Superintendent
Pryke's visit.
The police acted promptly. When
they learned that their quarry had
withdrawn a big sum from the
Bifkbeck Bank the numbers Of the
notes were obtained, and these
were stopped. He went to the Bank

by detective with warrant for his arrest.
The forgery charge for the nonce satisfied the

mud at the bottom, and at last
discovered a woman's shoe.
