pauk six THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY. SEPTKMBKK 12, 1929 LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE Tobbjr Tucker By Harold Gra ijr R.A.O. WAIXINO- Chapter at TIB BAG'S UCIIT I locked the studio door. opened the safe and' took oat tho tax. It W estraordlnsrv nesvv, rnsw weight, when I first handled It. had on tribute to the tear I felt. I Hlted It to table la the window. Sonunertlekl and I stared at the lentertsot black beg. I hated to touch the thine. "Better take It upstairs." said he, pointing -'gnlficantli through the window to the lawn peyona st, I carried the burden upstair and rhimoed it on mr bed. Bomerflsld looked at it curiously and pointed to some worn indentation letters mjTsved on the aide ot the bag. "Original owner's initial!," Hommerfleld. The black bag waa not even locked or (trapped. It had a f prlng latch that bant open when I de pressed. It. Somerfleld looked over mr ahoal er. We aaw at first nothing but what happened to be a mass of turn fas. But oa one part them there was a mark which auned me cold with apprehension. SomerMd end not realise tne slf alflcanee of the broad arrow. . "Whstl that meant he asked "The evidence that Laxtoa want edthe broad arrow that marks a convict's dress." I pulled at the tough grar mate rial, but it would not come. Imps Unit, Somerfleld laid hold of the sag itself, turned It upside down, and lifted It away, leaving on the bed a rude parcel made up In a prison t. Re gare It a roll and It came apart. Then we both staggered back, the two most astonished young men In England thst day. Wrapped m the prison cost was what seemed to ns to bo priceless and unheard of things, golden trinkets with masses of jewels, rings, bracelets, brooches, snd above sll s golden goblet set so thickly with diamonds and rubles that its bowl was weu-nignt nioaen. We stared at the display for a full minute. Bomerfield spoke tint. "Pretty little haul, I guess. I dont know much about Jewelry. but I'd say there was a. considerable fortune there, Orenofen. Noticed whether there hare been any big robberies lately?" But the contents of the bag ful filled my old fean and produced new ones. "What can we do?" I said. That's easy." Somerfleld picked up the bag and stuffed the coat Into It. "Burn this right away." It seemed good advice. I thought of my mother's Incinerator In the garden, Somerfleld volunteered to stand gusrd over whst ho called the jewelry store while I cremated the Incriminating bag. X found some old papen, but them round the bag and soon had It In the middle of an incandescent mass. Ttw jtaptxal ot Aladdin's trek sure, however, wss going to be much more difficult,; ' .( When I got back to the bedroom. Somerfleld met me with a Uttle cry . of excitement. "Christopher look here! These were under the ornaments." He pointed to a number of steel tools fine saw. a Jimmy, a pick lock, a hook, a silk rope. Be held In his hand a book In quarto, bound in a white-yellow vellum. "The hook old Fotherbury missed from his library, I bet a dollar," said he. I took it. and let the leaves 'fan over; a hlac It-letter manucrlpt, and on the first elaborately ornamented psse the words, "The Book of the Abbott John Deacon." It had been bound up before the manuscript wss finished, perhsps even before It was begun. . Nearly t quarter of the pages at the end ere blsnk. And on the Isst wrtt- irn page was a plan apparently me ground plan or a church. "That's a plan ot Fotherburys turns.- - "The book wns stolen Saturday or Sunday. ... Ton and Lsxton sow man prowling about tne ruins Sunday night , , , Lsxton must have expected bhn . , . Lsxton Is keen getting tne book, urenoien. dont we begin to see that Lsxton knew about Cousin John even be fore Cousin John gave them the slip In Devonshire? but look here. Orenofen. we cent leave this sum lying shout." " . But u was easier to say get quii of a than to do so. We hurriedly discussed many projects .only to ilrop them. Of a sudden, somenieid seemed to be electrified. Be leaped back rem the window, cried, "Look outl" and dived Into the corner of the oom where I had an old full-plate -am ere on a yellow case, "Wstch 'em and tell me If they some In," said Somerfleld, tearing at the buckles of the earners -case. kfy view commended the ' lane from a point near oar gate to the place where It disappeared under the trees. What bad excited Homer- field was the two men walking up the reed. X had them in sight for two or three seconds. On was young Fotherbury. The other I eld DM know. I sept eye oa the gate, while Somerfeild in breathless hast got the earner out of the ease, dropped it on the floor end oiled to stun into a. "What will you do with ltf, X asked. "Never mind. Watch. The fet. low with the cub Is one of Lax- ton's men." As he spoke, Fotherbury' head appeared above the shrubs that lined the little drive, and the next Instsnt he bed stopped by the gate, pointing. His companion pushed the rste back. "Be' coming In, I said to som erfleld. 'Here's bluff, then, Orenofen. It's about an even chance. But I'll take It tor Veronica's sak and yours. Bee me off the premises Just as the door opens to bun. Beady I Everything depends on bluffing the mout. Down you gol When he comes In, stand In the hall shaking hands with me." Somerfleld grsbbed the earners stand, tucked It under his arm and took the case In his left hand. The maid was coming through to answer ring at the door when we reached the hall. As she opened Somerfleld seized my hand snd said: Well, goodby, Orenofen. I know what you- want just the detail of the tower. I m going down to Ox. ford from London this evening. Hop to be back on Thursday. Pri- day morning at latest." "Fine, replied. "Ooodby somenieid. just the tower. Best time to take It is the morning before there's much traffic about. And thanks r X tamed to speak to the man In the doorway. "7es," X said. "Old you want to see mer" 1ST heart was beating hard when tns visitor, said;, ... .- "Are you Mr, Orenofen?
