and from the ledge inside he dropped
down into wide grassy courtyard.
There was no sign of life. The back
windows of the house over the gate
way were dark; and when he began to
cross the enclosure, some black OBJ
jects caught his eye They were three
big motor trucks Here was the
truth about the secret repository.
Arms were stored at the Chateau
kalber and were taken down to the
river. to be run out to the Cargo-boats
that came into that inlet at the lie de
Fernand. Madeleine Nelson's suspi-
cions had been very near the mark!
The slam of a door, and the
creak Of key in lock, brought Sim
clair up sharply
A couple of strides, and he was
sheltered by one of the trucks. From
an clubhouse in the courtyard. man
walked forward with lighted lantern
swinging at his side Without a word
Sinclair sprang out upon him. The
lantern dropped, and there was the
flash of knife

but ripped open the sleeve of his
Jacket as his fist went crashing into
the mans jaw. There was groan.
and the fellow went down heavily.
The lantern was still allght, and SIN
clair swung the unconscious figure
up on his shoulder and carried it over
to the clubhouse. When he kicked the
door open, damp smell OF earth
came up to HIM, and the rays OF the
lantern showed a pile of big wooden
cases at the foot of stone steps With
a heave, he hurled the man down.
turned the key and flung it over the
outer wall He knew he had no time
to waste, for 1t was impossible to say
how soon the others might be arriv-
ing. In the lantern light. he located
the back door of the chateau and
found himself in the kitchen premises
AT the end of the corridor a circular
stair wound upward But on the next
floor he was checked A padlocked grille
prevented him from mounting higher.
The door on his left was fastened.

window and looked out A wide
cornice ran along the face Of the wall,
with a row of windows Immediately
above it. These would give access to
the rooms, but to 60 along that ledge
in the darkness would be hazardous.
In the end. he decided to risk it and
CraWled out over the sill
He had almost reached the other end
before he came to easement that
stood open. Pulling it wide, Sinclair
leaned into the room with the lantern,
made a quick survey. then lowered
himself to the floor
The walls were oak-panelled, with
heavy beams in the roof, and in the
center was a long table with an Ella
borate stand that held half-a-dozen
tall candles He could see the dead
ashes of log fire on the open hearth.
1t was noble room, occupying almost
the entire width of the building, with
a smaller room beyond. If Madeleine
Nelson had been brought here, she
must be on one of the floors above.
Sinclair raced up the main staircase,
lantern in hand.
But Madeleine was not there.
Where had they taken her?
Sinclair had noticed a telephone in
the big oakpanelled room, and he
hastened down. He'd call up the
police at once, he decided; but as he
stood with the receiver at his ear, he
heard a noise below - footsteps on
the fagstones. He caught voices,
sharp and urgent. and someone began
to mount the stair.
Sinclair glanced rapidly around.
From the adjoining room, he knew
there was no exit. This left only the
window by which he had entered.
With a leap, he was upon the sill, and
climbed out to the ledge, partially
shutting the easement behind him.
He'd had no time to take the lantern
from the table, but this could not be
helped.
1t was Jerome's voice he heard first.
"Where's Andre"'
Through the loaded panes Sinclair
saw white-faced man with withered

He nodded thoughtfully. I'm
afraid you made it your business to
know. But l can afford to forgive the
lndiscretion He put his hands on
her shoulders Think over my sug-
gestlon. We ought to get on we'll
With a gasp Sinclair turned from
the window. He had heard quick foot
steps in the courtyard below. As he
moved quickly to one side, pressing
himself close to the stonework. he

Sinclair strained his ears, for they
were talking in French, and there
we're phrases he did not catch.
Jerome shook his head. After the
trouble with that American from the
salvage-ship My dear kalber,
this is no time to take risks
From brief snatches of their talk.
Sinclair gathered that man called
Georges had released Dreux that
morning; and there seemed to be no
doubt that the fishermen on the island
were in Jerome's pay, for he kept
referring to them with quick impa-
tient gestures. They've been waiting
for that Sinclair fellow at the mouth
of the river | ordered them to
bring him here" The two men con-
tinued to talk rapidly in French,
and then Jerome looked up sharply

Wait - you'll see for yourself.'
There were footsteps on the stair. and
Jerome stepped back. Good eve

we meet again like this.
Sinclair pressed forward against
the window panes His tongue felt dry
in his mouth. and every muscle was
taut as he crouched outside upon the
ledge He saw Madeleine as she walked
slowly into the room.
She was keeping herself in control
with an effort of will. The pallor of
her cheeks revealed the strain she had
undergone Dreux was behind her.
Her glance went to the Comte de

lighted panes; for a challenging cry
rang out. Then the headlamps of
motor truck were switched on. Up
there on the ledge. in the glare of that
white light. he realized he could be
seen as easily as fly on sheet of
paper. To jump from that height
meant broken limbs There remained
the staircase window at the distant
end of the ledge; but down in the
courtyard a revolver barked - and a
bullet plopped against the wall above
him. A second shot followed; then
there was silence
The easement at his side had been
thrust open. Here was his only hope
. If he could take these men by
surprise! Dreux leaned out, and
Sinclair turned and sripped him by
the arms, then flung himself bodily
forward into the room. AS he went
down, one swift glance revealed the
CONSERVATION on Jerome's face; and
within a split second, he was on his
feet again. His hand flashed to his
pocket for his automatic He had
thought Dreux was stunned by the
fall, but the man had heaved himself
to his knees, and his two hands closed
round Sinclair's wrist. There was a
sharp wrench. a gasp of pain, and the
gun clattered to the floor
