The minutes slipped by without a sound, and presently 1 began to won der why Coran had not returned, tils room was not far from mine. 1 must have heard his foot upon the stairs. He bad disobeyed his orders, that was evident. However, It was not my af fair, and I crept back to my point of observation. Twelve! I heard the clock tap out the news from the room below. 1 was nodding In my chair, barely awake. After all, It was a trivial matter, this trumpery blackmail. Half an hour more, thought I, pulling out my watch, and I will get to bed. The affair was becoming extremely monotonous. I dared not light a cig arette, for I felt certain that Peace would notice the glow from outside, and that I should hear of It In the morning. Ten minutes, a quarter of an hour—what was that moving under the trees by the edge of the drive? It was a man—two men. I crouched for ward with every nerve In me suddenly awakened. They were a good thirty yards apart, the one following the other with stealthy strides—not the sort of walk with which honest meu gu ubout hon est business. When the lender came to the path which led towards the summer house he turned down It, leaving the drive to his right. He avoided the gravel, keeping to the silent turf which fringed It. His companion followed him Btep by step. It was a curious spectacle, these slow-moving shadows that drifted for ward through the night, now almost obscured beneath the branches, now showing In black silhouette against a patch of moonlight. As the first man melted amongst the trees about the summer house, the other moved forward Bwlftly for a score of steps and then halted for a moment, crouching behind a clump of laurel. Suddenly he sprang up again and ran straight forward, cutting a corner across the lower edge of the lawn. There was no shouting, but I could hear the faint tramping of a scuffle and the thud of falling bodies. Then all was still again. Peace had told me to remain In the house. But Peace had never expected two men; I was sure of that. I crept down the stairs, out through the French windows of the drawing room, and so across the lawn to the trees about the summer bouse. As I passed through them I saw a little group standing In whispered con- (ersatlon. They turned sharply upon me. One was a stranger, but his com panions were Peace and, to my vast surprise, old Coran himself. "Well, Mr. Phillips,” said the detec tive, "and what do you want?” "I thought—” I began. “ Oh, you’ve been thinking, too, have you,” he snapped. "Here Is a young man who was thinking he would like to look at this extremely commonplace summer house; here Is Mr. Coran who was thinking he might help me by lurking about his garden Instead of going to bed; and here are you with heaven knows what Ideas In your head. Perhaps you and Mr. Coran will do what you are told another time.” ”1 saw two men,” I explained hum bly. "I was afraid they might get the better of you. How was I to know that It was Mr. Coran who had diso beyed orders?” "You are both pleased to be humor ous," said our host, and I could see he was trembling with rage. "But the fact remains that I caught this young man entering the summer house for a purpose we can well Imagine. In spector Addington Peace, I charge this person, Thomas Appleton, with blackmail.” "Can you explain your presence, Mr. Appleton?" asked the detective, kindly. He did not look a criminal, for he stood very straight and square, re garding the three of us with an amused smile. "Of course, I had no right to be here,” he said. "Though why I should find a detective waiting to arrest me for blackmail, or why Mr. Coran “ My brother refuses Mie movement his support,” she said in a loud, firm voice. "My reply to him is torturer, inquisitor. What are your views on the subject?" “ The same, my dear madam, as your own," said the disgraceful little hypo crite. “ How does the cause progress in Brendon?” “ I trust that in a few weeks our local branch will have been placed on such a basis as to be a model to the whole society." "Aunt is rather a crank on antl- vlvlsectlon,” whispered Miss Emily in my ear. “ Do be careful, if she tackles you about It." I laughed, and the subject changed between us. After the ladles left, Coran began a gloomy autobiography. Ills family, he said, had been living in the north of England at the time of the I.ondon es capade. No account of the affair, which appeared in only one paper, had reached them.

Coran returned, with a face of vin dictive Indecision. Under his veil of austerity there had smouldered a dan gerous temper, which was close upon bursting Into Itnme. But, after all, he had excuse enough. Heaven alone knew what baulked ambition, what treacherous Insults he had come to associate with this young man. The same passions actuate humanity, whether they view the world from one end of the telescope or the other. "I have decided to waive your ar rest for the present,” he growled. "It would certainly create a great scandal in Brendon.” said Appleton, firmly. "You count on that, do you?" cried the elder man. “You think you have a hold upon me, that I am afraid of you. Take care, sir, take care.” “ You choose to be mysterious, Mr. Coran. I have no hold on you. But I should think twice If I were you be fore arresting an innocent man." "Innocent! What were you doing here ?’’ “That Is my business.” Coran turned away, wringing his hands together in his odd manner when greatly excited. "Go,” he snarled over his shoulder. "Go, before 1 strangle you.” As I dropped off to sleep half an hour later I was still wondering why Peace had refused a bed, remaining for the night In the garden. Could he expect more visits to the summer house? Why had young Appleton come sneaking up at so late an hour If he were not guilty? The problem that had seemed so simple was chang ed Into a maze of strange complica tions. I was too sleepy to trace them further. I was awakened by a touch on my shoulder.
