Now, remote from all this bab- g, splendour, yet within ear- t, a dark-avised country fellow | h ured in the herb garden and How and then stared at all this} ‘ngnmcence through a gap in the! ntervening hedge. And the country, male and fe- ale, chattered of the late Julian uyfford, his murder, the inquest,! that “blood-guilty wretch” Sir Richard—and agreed that the soon- er he was taken and made a dread- ‘'ful example, an object lesson to Jike-minded murderous villains, the better for the world. ' “Lud, Bir John" nodded the as he bowed, “ye look a troifle warrm, 'tis hot weather for hihmng elusive murderers. Have enny news, 8ir John?" “Affairs promise, madam,” puf- Sir John, handkerchief a-flut- , “tomorrow, today even, ye may ar of his—hum—his capture. And t is more, madam—'tis now n that the murderer wore a ct's-eye ring, madam!” “Aha, and what then?” “Why, madam, we have but to this same ring and—ha—our €ase is brought to successful issue.’ 'jAy, sure, Sir John, always sup- 30 this ring has the murderer fe inside it!" Nearby, along a shady walk, stood torted features of Viscount Brick- lehurst. “S0?” nodded the captain. “Pry- ing, were you?"” “Curse your double-dealing!” ex- claimed the Viscount wildly. “So now you'll—youw’ll protect her from me, will ye?” fetters, ha!” “Tush, man, don't bluster! plot against her at your peril!” “My plot—mine?” cried the Vis-| count. “Mine, why, 'twas you sug- gested it!” | “Well, I now forbid it.” The Viscount staggered In hls} rage: “I see it now! You want her for yourself . . . you grow desper- ate reckless—sure you take my meaning, Despard?” “Not I?” “Why, then, I mean . . . that I know . . . what Julian knew.” “Ah?” murmured the captain. “And Julian—is dead!” For a long time they stood staring eye to eye and utterly motionless, then Captain Despard strolled away, but the arbour. Someone nearby be- gan to whistle dolefully, and the Viseount beheld the broad back of a gardener bowed to his labour, and staring at this back became aware that the company had drawn apart to make way for the lank, grim fig- ure of Master Titus Olderaft. Viscount Brocklchurst started for- ward so suddenly that he collided with the gardener, pushed him aside and hastened to join the silent and curious company now grouped about Master Oldcraft who spoke in voice authoritative yet highly respectful. “Sir John Parret, my lords, la- dies and gentlemen, by reason of devotion to duty, of zeal unremit- ting and dogged determinatjon we ha’ lately discovered that the male- factor wanted for the late henious a cat's-eye ring. Therefore I set about a seeking o' this same ring and—" here Master Oldcraft nodded portentously, and held up his right hand; quoth he: “Sir John, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, ‘with this happy and fort'nate result!” Master Old- cat's-eye stone seemed to glare at them. Master Oldcraft con- iily lady Helen and the Viscount. , “So you persist”” he demanded lessly. “Is it because you love finother?” ! lady turned and swept him wi withering glance; his pale eeks glowed, between his lips was hized- er of sharp teeth, 85 heloapy, FOR BIDS FOR TRANS-| “Stint your lofty pride, madam, —'tis well known you ride out o' hts to keep tryst with . . . a rer!” .

And she tried’' to even while her flesh crept sudden, strange, unaccount- dread; thus when she found Despard walking beside , his assured air and pleasant’ ice were alike, for once, unfeign- edly welcome. _ “Our Brocklehurst,” said he smil- g, “shows something peevish!” “He is—insufferable!” cried my ‘And I think dangerous, Helen, . this pleases me." “And wherefore?” “Because to protect you will be mi supreme and constant joy.” They now paused by the rustic 4, “You cannot,” he answered gent- “for I have made for you an of my love.

Yesterday I turn- ed my attention to the Guyfford Arms. I hunted high and low, and at last my determination was re- warded and I found this ring in— a gentleman's valise—in the valise of—Captain Despard!” Captain Despard smiled and held out his hand: “May I see this ring more nearly?” Master Oldcraft hesitated, but at stealthy nod from Sir John he placed the ring upon the captain’s open hand. “Now, sir,” questioned Sir John, “ha’ you ever seen this ring be- fore?” “Why, yes, I fancy I have, Sir | John.” “Aha, and where sir, where?” “That, sir, I do not feel called upon to say.” “Why, then, Captain Despard, perhaps you will be so obliging to tell us how it came hid in your valise.” “Ah, Sir John, this I propose to discover at the very earliest oppor- tunity,” smiled the captain. “Mean- time, you tell me this ring S ac- tually upon the murderer'’s hand, officer?” “Indeed, sir!” nodded Master Oldcraft. *'Twas' on the villain's deadly pistol hand, sir.” “Why, then—see now!" said the Captain. “Your murderer's hand was somewhat smaller than mine!” And holding up his right hand Captain Despard showed the ring perched upon the tip of his little finger. Despard laughed gently and toss- ed the ring at Master Oldcraft, who contrived to catch it with an effort, and thereafter stood scowling down at the cat's-eye ring as if it had ibitten him. (Copyright, 1928, Jeffery Farnol) Captain Despard is vindicated but faces further misfortune.
