Do yoo know what 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 Chesby. 1. Hugh, w rite this for my son. and It may be for those who come a fte r him. “ In the reign of the Emperor An dronicus Counenus my father visited Constantinople, and the emperor made much of him. At the em|>eror’s re quest my father aided In the dlsposl tio D of a certain treasure which An dronicus bad amassed by confiscating and finng the estates of rebel nobles None save these two knew the I oca tlon of the treasure. “ It chanced that my father passed oversea to the Holy land and the Em peror Andronicus was slain hy his enemies The Emperor Isaac, who succeeded Andronicus s -nt urgent messages to my father bidding birr, visit Constantinople that 'he new etn peror might do him h**r,- r And In lim e my father Journeyed »gain to i Constantinople, and the ent|ieror would have him yield the secret of the tre.-i« ure. But my father would not he cause Andronicus had obtained from him a solemn oath never to give ij| the treasure to anyone save one win would spend It for the hetrerlng'stf the empire, and the new ern|ieroi craved 't for his courtiers nnd in u ife sans. Then fhe eiujteror threw ui> father Into prison, and so kept him until Mrsser Baldwin of Handers and Messer Dandolo of Venice and the barong of the Crusade went against the emperor and smote hitn down “ III fortune continued to to-set the empire, and so my father kept the secret In Clod's ap|*«>lnte <1 time he died and passed on the secret to me Now, L too. see Death riding toward me. “ Harken, tie n . my aon, and those o f your seed who come after us.

But on, c f course not I There was that chap In Henry the F ifth's time, and the Rllxahethau Hugh. They knew where It was." 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 scribed In an angular feminine hand In very faded black Ink. T h i s was w ritten hy the widow of the Elizabethan Hugh,* the old solic­ itor continued “ H e r husband, as you may remember, my lord, never re­ turned from one of his voyages. Ills lady was In charge of the estate for some years In the minority of her son." He spread the paper before h e It was dated 'Castle Chesby. ye V h Septr., 15B2," and we read ihe vigor­ ous strokes with ease: “Forasmuch as yl hath pleased God to sette mee In authorltle In this my •leerx late Husband's place.
