(Continued From Qur Last Issue) ‘Come with us?” Bill said casually, a8 he struck a match, He pulled vigorously at the flame as he waited for the answer, hoping to hide his anxlety, for if Cayley pssented, he was done, “I've got to go Into Stanton." Bill blew out a - great cloud of smoke with an' expiration which eo}-rred also a heartfelt sigh of relief, ‘Oh, a pity. You're driving, I Suppose ' “Yes. ' The car will be here direct- ly. There's a letter I must write rst.” He sat down at a writing table, and took out a sheet of notepaper. He was facing the secret door; n it opened he would see it. At any moment now it might open. Bill dropped into a chalr und\ thought. ' Antony must be warned. Obviously, But how? signal to anybody? By code. Morse code. Did Antony know {t? Dia Bill know it himself, if it came to that? He had picked up a bit in the army—not enough to send a message, of course, But a message was im- possible, anyhow; Cayley would hear him tapping it out, It wouldn't do to send more than a single letter. What Jetters did he know? And what letter would convey anything to Antony? . ., | 0 C for Cayley. Would Antony un- derstand? Probably not, but it was just worth trying. What was C? Long, short, long, short. Umpty-iddy- umpty-iddy. Was that right? C— yes, that was C. He was sure of that. C. Umpty-iddy-umpty-iddy. Hands in pockets, he got up and wandered across the room humming vaguely to himself, the picture of a man waiting for another man (as it might be his friend Gillingham) to come.in and take him away for a walk or. something. He wandered across to the books at the back of Cayley, and began to tap ahsent- mindedly on the shelves, as he looked at the titles. Umpty-iddy-umpty-iddy. 1i6t that it was much like that at first; hé couldn't get the rhythm of it. . . . Umpt-y-1ddy-umpt-y-lddy. That | Was better. He was back at Samuel Taylor Coleridge now. Antony would begin ‘to hear him soon. Umpt-y- {ddy-umpt-y-iddy; just the aimless tapping of a man who is wohdering what book he will take out with him to read on the lawn. Would Antony Kear? One always heard the man in the next flat knocking out his pipe. ‘Would Antony understand? Umpt-y- iddy-umpt-y-iddy. C, for Cayley, An- fony. Cayley's here. For God's sake, walt. " ‘Good Lord! Sermons!" said Bill, Wwith & loud laugh. (Umpt-y-iddy- umpt-y-iddy) “Ever read 'em, Cay- ley? "“What?" Cayley looked up sud- dénly. Bill's back moved slowly dlong, his fihgers beating a tattoo on the shelves as he walked. ' “Er—no,” sald Cayley, ‘with a little faugh. . An awkward, uncomfortable little laugh, it seemed to Bill. . “Nor do.1.” He was past the ser- mons now—past the seqret door—but still tapping in the same aimless way.‘ “Oh, for God's sake sit down,” burst out Cayley. . “Or go outside 1!‘ you want to walk about.” Bill turned round in astonishment. ‘‘Hallo, what's the matter?" | Cayley was slightly ashamed of his| outburst. | “Sorry, Bill,"” he apologized. “My nerves are ‘on ‘edge. Your constant tapping and fidgeting about—" ‘Tapping?" said Bill with an air of complete surprise. | ‘“Papping on the shelves, and hum- ming. Sorry. It got on my nerves.” “My dear old chap, I'm awfully sorry. I'll go out in the hall.” “It's all right,” said Cayley, went on with his letter. Bill sat down in his chair again. Had Antony understood? . Well, any- Tow, there was nothing to do now but ' wait for Cayley to go. “And if you asked me,” said Bill to himself, much tleased, “I ought to be on the stage. That's where I ought to be. The | complete actor.” s | A minute, two minutes, three min- utes . . five minutes. It was safe | now. Antony had guessed. “IIs the car there?" asked Cayley, as| he sealed up his letter. ! Bill strolled into the hall, called back “Yes,” and went out to talk to the chauffeur. Cayley joined him, and they stood there for a moment. “‘Hallo,” sald a plasant voice behind them. They turned round and saw | Antony. “‘Sorry to keep vou waiting, Bill." With a tremendous effort Bill re- strained his feelings, and said casually enough that it was all right. ~“Well, I must be oft,’ said Cayley. “You're going down to the village?'" ““That's the idea."” “1 wonder if you'd take this lettter to Jallands for me?” “Of course.” “Thanks very much. see you later.” He nodded and got into the car. As'soon as they were alone Blll turned eagerly to his friend. . “Well?" he said excitedly. “Come into the library."” They went in, and Tony sank down into a chair. “You must give me a moment, " he panted. “I've been running.” “Running-" “Well, of course. How do you ghink I got back here?” “You don't mean you went out at the other end?” Antony nodded. “1 may, did yvou hear me upplng?" “1 did, indeed. Bill, you're sl genius.” Bill blushed. “1 knew you'd understand,” he sald. “You guessed that I meant Cayley?" “1 did. It was the least I could do after you had been so brililant. You must have had rather an exciting time.” “Exciting? think it was.” “Tell me about it.” A8 modestly as possible, Mr. Beber- ley explained his qualifications for a lite on the stage. . “Good man,” sald Antony at the end of it “You are the most perfect Watson that ever lived. Bill, my 1ad,” he went on dramatically, rising and taking Bill's hand in_his, “there is nothing that you and I could not| and | Well, I shall Good Lord, I should I'm thanks awfully, this time."” We might be able to get open.'” the daughter. promise you." upset you? down there, I'm certain of it." accomplish together, if we gave our minds to it." “Bllly old aes' “That's what you always say when oeing serious.
