Marjorie Lauderdell with a sharp look at Mr. Waye, decided that he had spoken in all innocence—per- haps. “Haven't we met before?” said a soft voice on Mr. Waye’s right.

Detective as Comrade, | After breakfast, having read the | morning paper with deepest inter- |est, John Waye, talking audibly |and pleasantly to himself, strolled |about the grounds of The Monas- |tery, incidentally making a com- | plete tour of the great high wall | that entirely surounded them. Se The Monastery grounds were really an island with a moat about | the wall, the only normdl access to | The Monastery being by the gate- house bridge. ‘ Beneath the archway, above which was a tower, high strong !iron gates prevented access to the | bridge itself while at the far end {of the bridge, a small door deep- | in a stone wall, prevented ac- | ess from without, as well as egress { from within, i It would be as difffcult for an ‘unmnhorized person to leave this {place as it would be to leave a jail. A jail. John Wayg shuddered As he approached the great iron | gates, a huge man came out from a door in the gate house, and eyed Mr. Waye inquiringly. “Good morning,” sald the latter. “you haven't seen my white ele- phant, have you?” “Elephant, Sir!” replied the man reflectively. “What color elephant | might it a bin, Sir?” Pinkish?” | “Onh, dear me, no. White as the | driven—er—donkey.” “well, I haven't acksherly seen it, Sir. Only me own white ele- phant, an’ I can’t lose ‘er.” “Oh, well, if you're sure, T won't| { bother about it. I'll just go for a walk, if yowll kindly open the gates for me. I can go out if I want to, I suppose, can't I?” : “Why, cert'nly, Sir. Everybody | comes and goes as free as hair— when the Doctor says so.” | “He tells you who may go out, and who may not, en?” “Well, Sir, in a manner o' speak- ing, Yer see, Sir, there's some gents and ladies as might walk so fur that they couldn't get back, jes’ like your white elephant.” Suddenly the face of Mr. John Waye underwent a remarkable change and, as he produced a note- case from his pocket, the gate keeper thought he looked less idi- otic. John Waye, extracting a piece of paper, suggested that the gate- keeper might be able to decipher the writing thereupon. It was a five-pound note. “No, Sir, no matter 'ow big.” “An' ‘ere comes the Dactor his- self,” he added as Dr. Charters, the morning paper in his hand, ap- proached the gate-house. P “Gopd marning, Mr. Waye,” he said breezily. “Going out for a walk?"” “Yes, Doctor. I was thinking of taking a stroll across the mead- ows.” «Wonderful old gate-house, isn’t it?” observed the Doctor. “Strong.” | “Very,” agreed Mr. Waye. “Won- | derful old gatekeeper, too. Also strang.” | The gatekeeper smiled and en- | tered the gatehouse, returned. bear- !ing & couple of large keys and pro- ceeded to open the inner and outer ! pair of gates. Accompgnied by the Doctor, John Waye grossed the bridge, halted, and gazed around. “No-0,", he gaid slowly. “No-0, I don’t think T'll go out—today, &b any rate. It seems to have disa- peared altogether. Don't you wish | yours would, Doctor?” “My what?” inquired Dr. Char-H | ters. I “Your white elephant.” The two men eyed each other. “perhaps it will,” observed the||} Doctor, as he turned away. | Returning to his study, Dr. Char-fi ters rang for his secretary. i “PFind -Sister and Matron,” hel said. “I want to see them both.” IH A minute or two later the two women entered together. “Good morning, Sister.
