Tom Baker rose to his feet.
Il think, friends" he suggested. looking
around, "as we'd better leave the squire
ana this young gentlemen TO have their
bit Of talk together"
With an unWillingnesE that seemed to
creak in their bones they all rose. The
squire stopped them imp0tiently.
Nothing OF the sort" he declared.
There is no secrecy about this matter.
This afternoon this young man arrived, pro
claiming himself my sons guest Ny son
was motoring from Exeter and has not
reached us-We presume owing TO the
weather. We made this young man at
home, and accepted him at his own val
uatiOn, and Offered him our hospitality.
Tonight we discovered In the billiard
room that a priceless jewell rose pearl
belonging to my Wife-Was missing. Il
was hanging as a pendant from her neck
not five minutes before its loss was dis
covered. No one has entered or left the
room. By my orders the doors were locked
and l announced that every one present
was to be searched. This young gentle
man., as though moving casually around
the room, reached the switches, plunged
the room in darkness, climbed out Of the
window, and escaped on a motor bicycle"
There was a little murmuF. The de-
HnQuent shrugged his shoulders.
Il have the utmost dislike to being
searched" he observed, especially In the
presence Of ladies'"
"XOu know perfectly WE'LL" the squire
said cOldly. that there would have been
nothing undignified about the proceeding.
The lord lieutenant allowed himself to be
searched, and the screen which protected
him would, I presume have sufficed for
you. Furthermore the ladies had already
left the ROOM"
Nevertheless" the young nan acknOwl-
edged 81 felt a repugnanCe to the whole
prOceeding-hence my flight, which the
weather. alas, seems to have brought to
an end"
"The weather." Sir Henry pronounced
"Was prOYidentisL. Now let me tell you,
sir, that ! do not believe that my son
ever sent q telegram that q friend Of his

Tom Baker who had advanced to the edge
OF the sidewalk, swung his light backwards
and forwards.
Not a SOUL" he declared.
Granfer CrOcOmbe's grunt, as he turned
and hObbled back towards the bar parlOr,
might have been one Of disappointment.
The others presently followed him, having
between them dragged in the damaged ma

The young man was stretched in one Of
the most comfortable easy chairs, holding
q bare foot out to the blaze. He had
drawn OFF his coat, disclosing the fact that
he was attired In the conventional dinner

all from the first, however, was that his
track had led from the mOOrs a passage
across which on such a night for stranger
must have been almost impossible.

one knocking heavy boots against the wall
as though to remove the snow.
A moment or two later the door was
opened. Red faced, with snow cleaning
from his waterproof cape and the buttons
Of his hastily dOnned uniform. Police Con-

"That be a follish saying, Tom
the other cOntended, land one, If the
truth were spoke, not according to
your " mind. Why, only a few
months agO-"
Granfer CrocOmbe got no further with
his "reminiscences. The sacred door Of the
bar parlOr, the right to enter which be-
longer only to a chosen few OF Melhamp-
tons most respected residents, was sad
denly and violently thrown open. From
the street, only half the length OF the pas
sageway, came a blast Of icy wind and
a furry Of snOwflakes. Granfer CrOcOmbe
drew a little closer to the fire. The others
ignoring the increased cold, stared with
amazement at the figure Of the young man
who had made so precipate an entrance.
He stood, the prototype Of a %harbinger Of
i'll tidings, un~steadily upon the Threshold,
his pale face damp and glistening from
| the driven snow, the Takes themselves
melting from his outer garments and run
ming in little pools onto the floor. What
ever the nature Of his enterprise, he was Ill
equipped for 1t, for, although the upper
part of his body was moderately we'll
protected by q thick leather jacket, below
he was wearing black evening trousers,
patent shoes reduced to a pulp, n what
might once have been silk socks.
"There is an accident" he exclaimed,
"Outside-just outside. Please hurry"
The young mans voice was soft and dis
tinct, with a suggestion Of a foreign accent.
His manner was unruffled but his gesture
insistent. One and all they rose from
their seats; even Granfer CrOcOmbe snatch
ed at his gnarled oak stick and followed
the rush through the door, under the
curved archway which led into the night
and Alice, the barmaid, whose head had
been thrust through the window dividing
the bar from the parlOr, after a moments
hesitation, also Joined in the exodus. IN
those few seconds no one noticed that the
young man himself had remained behind.
Five men and a girl lined the arched en-
trance to the Northampton Arms and gazeo
out into the darkness. There was not 3
sound to be heard nor in those few seconds
anything to be seen. The PERCEPTIONS
street lay in a pool Of darkness. Old VII
liam CrOcOmbe began to cough.
"Get you in, Granfer," Tom Baker ad'
monished. "Us'u bring word in II aught'f
