Copyright. 1930, by North American SYNUPEIS. Sefton Engleden is called to Yorkshire from his law practice in London by o which tells him that his uncle, 3 leden, has disappeared. Super- intendent of Police Mallison believes the colonel has met with foul play. SECOND INSTALLMENT. 1 { T the sound of knocking, Engle- ! den was out of bed and at the | door while still the insistent summons sounded on the panel. { There stood Mallison. It need- ed but one quick glance at his face to | tell Engleden that news had come at | last. He got out one quick word. { iy “He’s been found! The river—» “Drowned?” “Presumably! I know no details.

He was down stairs and at the open door within the five minutes for which he had stipulated. A car stood outside the police station; a uniformed man at its wheel. Across the Market Square, in the tower of the queer old church which nestled under the walls of the castle, the hands of the clock pointed to six— as Engleden looked, the hour struck and the six strokes were followed by a silvery chime. A beautiful morning, too. There was a scent of flowers in the ajr { from somewhere close by thrushes were singing. Not a morning on which one would ever think of death . . Mallison came bustling from somewhere at the back of the building; Engleden turned on him, anxious to know more. “How did you get the news?” ““Telephone! Mr. Sanderson, the rang me up ,a quarter of an hour ago— I'd just risen, myself. One of his men had gone to have & dip in a part of the river known as the Brown Pool—a very deep place, that. He found—the body. Ran back to the house then, and roused Sanderson and his butler. I don’t think they'd made any examination, when Sanderson _telephoned—only got the body out. That's all I know—no details. | Here's the doctor.” A professional-looking man came | hurrying around the corner. Mallison | hurriedly introduced him—Dr. Colgate. | The three got into the car and dropped down the hill from the town to the road that ran along the river. No one spoke until Mallison bent forward to his driver. “How can we get to the Brown | Pool?” he asked. i “Go around by the house and the Abbey, sir, and down the lane—you'll i have to walk across a fleld to reach | the river there, sir—no other way,” re- plied the driver.

The ruins of the Abbey, an ancient and once extensive premonstratension house, came into view on the other side of a field alongside which the car was running; presently the car pulled up at a gap in the hedge. “Nearest point, sir,” said the driver, “You'll have to walk across there.” “Keep the car here, then,” com- |aski {manded Mallison. “Or, better still, | take it to the front of Mr. Sanderson's house. There's a path from the Ab- bey to his grounds. Well, now, let's hurry.” | He led his companions at a sharp pace across the meadow to the boun- dary well of the conventual buildings; | there through a crack in the masonry and past the ruined nave of the Abbey Church to a belt of woodland; in an- | other moment they came out on the bank of the river. "And there, 20 yards away, under overhanging trees, they | saw a group of men, some five or six in | number, who stood around an object laid on the pebble-strewn foreshore of | the stream—an object over which one of this company had laid his coat. A man detached himself and came for- ward—a tall, middle-aged man, whose conspicuous feature was a heavy black beard and mustache. “Mr. Sanderson,” whispered Malli- son to Engleden, “owner of the estate. This, Mr. Sanderson,” he went on, the big man drew close, “is Col.

There's nothing of value on him!"” Coigate pushed his way to Malli- son'’s side. “Leave things to me for a few min- uates, will you?” he said. “Stand aside, all of you!" Engleden turned away, sick at heart. He and Sanderson walked a little apart. For a moment there was silence be- tween them. Then Engleden spoke. “Who foynd him?” “My chauffeur,” replied Sanderson. ; “He comes down here occasionall: When he came this morning he sa it. He told Hewitt, my butler.” He broke off there, pointing to the other bearded man, “Hewitt had heard%-as we all had—of your uncle’s disiopear- ance, and at once thought of him. He sent up a footman to tell me and came down here with the chauffeur. I fol- lowed. Then—we got the body out. The weight of the stones was notice- able, of course. And now—the fact that there is nothing of value on the body! I'm afraid there’s been foul lay. Mr. Engleden.” v “Yes!” said Engleden. “Yes! I think that's pretty evident! In plain words, Mr. Sanderson, murder! Well, if 1t is so—" Mallison came up to them, glancing Engleden. ve you any idea, Mr. Engleden. as to what Col. Engleden would be likely | to have on him in the way of mone: and valuables? Would it be much?” “I can give you a very good idea,” responded Engleden readily, “for I hap- pen to know! Col. Engleden left town | a week ago to visit some of the old | aces here in the north; he was an | ‘dent archeologist. The day before he left London I called at his bank and cashed a cheque for him—£250. In ad- dition to that, he wore a watch and chain worth at least £100; he also wore, always, a very valuable diamond ring, | worth, I should say, £200 or £300, and & diamond scarf-pin, worth, perhaps, | half as much. And—I don't tiiink you will find any of these things, nor of the money, at his room at the Hotel. I am familiar with all his habits, sort that I've described—in his pocket | or on his person.” “Robbery, then!” muttered Mallison. | “He must have been followed from the town. I mentioned to you that in going 10 see the Castle by moonlight, he'd have to pass through the only doubtful bit of the place. He must have coms along from the Castle, to see the Abbey while the moon was on it, and been fol- | nothing, Mr. Sanderson, from the Abbey House?” Sanderson pointed to his house, an old country mansion standing a few hundred yards above them on a terrace of land overlooking the Abbey and the river. “No!” he said. “As Mr. Engleden can see, my house is well removed from this point. No—I haven't heard of any of my family seeing or hearing any- thing that night. We go to bed early up there; I myself, when I'm at home, make a practice of going to my room at 9:30, and I'm in bed by 10, and I believe Hewitt has the house safely locked up and in dark- ness by 10:30 as a rule, As to your idea that Col. Engleden was followed from the town, it's very likely he was! If he from the end of the Castle terrace, Iollowlnhthe path along the river bank—as probably did—any evilly disposed person could track him | without rendering himself liable to | detection. And when the Colonsl left path, as he evidently did, to get to this point of the river, the ill-doers became more secure than ever!” “Why, sir?” asked Mallison. Sanderson turned toward the Brown Pool, stretching out his right hand. And Engleden, glancing at the hand, saw, around the wrist, as it protruded from the sleeve, a thing unusual for a man to wear—so unusual, indeed, that in spite of his preseni distress and anxiety, he could not avoid staring at it—a broad band or bracelet of polished steel which comepletely encircled the narrowing part just above the ulmar flexor. But Sanderson was speaking— “Why?” he answered. “Why, because, as you see, the whole of what you may call the foreshore of the river is here, and from some distance each way, cov- prints——" Colgate interrupted him. He sud- denly left the dead man’s side and ap- proached Mallison. “I'm sorry to tell you of it—especially in Mr. Engleden’'s presence, but there's no help for it,” he said. “I've no doubt whatever—there is no doubt! Col. Engleden was murdered!” Mallison and Sanderson uttered slight, suppressed exclamations, but Engleden’s voice was steady and icy cold in tone as he turned to the police surgeon. “You've ascertained — what?” he ed. “That he has been struck at least three violent blows on the back of the head,” replied Colgate. “Any one «f which, I think, would have been suffi- | clent to cause instantaneous death. A | savage attack!” “What sort of weapon?” demanded Mallison. “Can you say, doctor?” “Blunt. He was probably wearing-- it'’s a thing that can be easily ascer- tained—a soft cap,” answered Colgate “Anyway, there it ‘That and the fact that his pockets are heavily weighted with stones and that all his money and valuable are missing shows, of course that—" Hewitt, the man described by Sander- son as his butler, came up at that mo- ment, followed at a respectful distancc by a laborer whom Engleden had seen crossing the river by the stepping stones near the abbey a few minutes before. Hewitt glanced at the police superin- tendent. “There is a man here, Mr. Mallison, who says he believes he can tell some- thing,” said Hewitt. “Night before last he saw something. Sanderson gave Engleden a look that was obviously meant to be sympathetic. | But he wasted no words in condolence. “1 fear there’s been foul play here,"i he said. “I told you on the phone how he was found. Well, we got him out | and we've made a superficial examina- tion—or, rather, we at once found something nobody could fail to per- | ceive. His pockets, overcoat and coat, | are filled with stones!” Engleden’s face flushed angrily; without a word, he suddenly strode for- ward and, brushing past the men grouped about it, drew aside the cov- face. < Only a second—then he re- placed the covering and looked up. The man who stood nearest glanced at him understandingly—he, too, Engle- den noticed, even in that painful mo- ment was & heavily bearded man of about the same age as Sandérson and di as butlers were wont to dress; the incongruity of his butler’s conven- tional attire and his heavy, gray-shot black beard llllmc:o fhuh'dleun as odd.
