Quick a* a flash Burt «prang upon him and struck him down with a life-preserv er. With a gasping cry and a heavy thud Kzra fell face downward* upon the (loo-, a great gash in hi* head. “ Very neat— very pretty indeed!" cri%d the ex-parson, in a quiet tone of critical satisfaction. as a connoisseur might apeak o f a specimen which interested him. He was already busy at the door of the safe. “ W ell done, Mr. Burt, well don e!" crie-| Williams in a quivering voice. “ Here are the stones.” said Farinto«h, in the same q u id voice.

The guilty trio stole out o f the room, bearing their plunder wiib them, and walk<-»l down tile sta r* of the hotel unmolost"d snd unharmed. The moon as it rose over the veldt that night shone on three horsemen spurring it aloug the Capetown road as though their very lives depended u]*>n their speed.

Kzra wa* endowed with rare vifalit..’, which enabled him not only to shake off the »-ffis-t«.- o f hi* mishap, hut to do so in an extraordinary short space of time. There wa* a groan from the prostrate fig ure, then a fee’ |>. movement, then another and a louder grenn. Cradnall.v raising himself upon hi* dhow, he looked around hurt in a bewildered way. with his o th 'r hand pressed to the wound at the ba'-k of his head, from which a few narrow lit tle rivulets o f blood were still meander ing. Hi* glance wandered vaguely over tin table and the chairs arid the wall*, un til it rested ii[*in the safe. He eould wo in the moonlight that it wa* ot«-n, an I empty. In a moment the whole circum stances of the case came hack to him. and he St Jiggered to flie hell with a lion rse cry o f rage and of despair. Whatever Kzra'« faults may have been, Irresolution or want of courage were riot among them. In a moment he granted the situation, nnd realized that if was ab solutely essential that he should act, and at once. The stone* must he recovered, or utter nnd irretrievable ruin stared hitr. in the fa»*’. At hi* crii-s and ringing the landlord nnd several attendants, white and if la ’ k, came rushing into the room. “ I've i <-en robbed and assaulted."
