John hears English voices and de-
cides to investigate. From safe COW
er he finds four men burying a man
in green livery who, evidently, hao
been murdered. Pharaoh is the lead
er of the gang; the others are Dew
drop, Rush and Bugle. Unfortunately,
John makes himself known to the
assass!ns by dropping letter win
his name and address on it. He tells
Geoffrey and his chauffeur. Barley, OF
his adventure. Godfrey, realizing
that Johns life is in danger, declares
he must vanish. Spencer discovers
that the livery Of the murdered man
corresponds to the livery Of the serv-
ants Of Yorick castle, and tens
Countess Helena, mistress OF the
castle, what he had seen. with
Godfrey and Barley, John starts for
Annabel, nearby village. They en-
counter Pharaoh. In making their

the gang, without serious result.
They arrive at the Yorick estate,
where Lady Helena had requested
John and his cousin to meet her.
