“Humph.” said Hugh. “That's not

he did with the missing half of the
Instructions he said he found?"
“ No. sir. He never showed It to
me. and so far as I know he did not
have It in bis possession when he was
here.“
“Well, let's have a look at the
C harter ChesL"
Mr. Bellowes went to a safe In the
corner, and took from an Inner com
partment a bunch of heavy keys. W ith
these he opened lock after lock along
front and sides of the old chest. Hugh
and I carefully raised the lid. The
chest was packed with smaller boxes
some o f wood and some of iron and
•teel.
The aged solicitor Indicated a mas
give steel box in one corner.
“T hat contains the Instructions and
related documents, your lordslilp.'' he
said, and lifting It to the table top
fitted a small key to the lock.
There was a d ic k and the cover
Dew back. Inside was a wooden lid
which Hugh pried up with his thumb
nail, and below that a layer of oiled
gilk. and below that again more layers
o f cloth, silk and linen. Finally, we
came to several framed parrhments
T h e first fram e contained s sheet
o f parchment. I should say. twelve
Inches by ten. covered with minute
Black Letter script In a rather cor
rupt form of medieval Latin.
‘T h a t Is Hugh's Instructions." Said
the solldtor. "I'd advise you not to
to strain your eyes trying to make out
the original
We had a .ery careful
translation prepared, and checked over
by scholars at Oxford."
H e drew out a typewritten sheet of
foolscap, and N ikka and I read It over
Hugh's shoulder:
“ IN S T R U C T IO N S of Hugh, lx>rd of

“ In the reign of the Emperor An

T h e r e Is another document here
w h lili sheds light upon that phase ot
the mystery," volunteered Mr. Bel
lowes. and he sorted an envelope from
the mass of documents In the steel
box.
From the envelope he drew a heavy
sheet of yellowed linen paper In

In very faded black Ink.

He spread the paper before h e It
was dated 'Castle Chesby. ye V h
Septr., 15B2," and we read ihe vigor
