Woodcock, where he came wltn a
friend, Mr. Maxaroff, In Mr. Maxa-
roff’s car. Last night Mr. Maxaroff,
who Is an elderly man, went out on
the moor, and he’s never returned.
Have you or your people heard or seen
anything of him?"
I ’ll do Verner Courthope the Justice
to say that he showed some polite
concern In the matter. Neither he nor
his two guests could tell me anything,
but Courthope went out with Sheila
and myself to a shed at the rear of
the lodge, where two gamekeepers and
some other men were waiting, and of
them he made Inquiries. That re­
sulted in nothing, but he promised
that In the course of the day’s shoot­
ing he and his party would keep their
eyes and ears open as they went about
the moors.
Sheila and I presently went away In
the direction of Marrasdale tower. We
had walked some little distance In
silence when she suddenly turned on
H e pushed me before him Into a
room where Mrs. Elphlnatone was evi­
dently waiting breakfast for her hus­
band and daughter. She did not see
me at first, being concerned with tea­
making, but she evidently racognlaed
Mr. Elphlnstone's step.
“Are you and Sheila never coming
to breakfast, Malcolm I ” she demanded.
“The tea— ” Then she turned and
saw me. and I saw that she recog­
nized me as the young man whom she
had passed two days before.
Mr.
Elphlnatone pushed me forward.
“Murlon!” he exclaimed. “A truly
most wonderful and fortunate thing!
This young gentleman Is the son of
my old friend Tom Holt 1 Isn t it
extraordinary that he should drop on
me from the clouds Uke thlsl He
came—let's see, how did he cornel
—oh, I remember now, Sheila brought
him, to be sure.”
“Yes.’’ said 8hella, “and you’ve al-
ready forgotten why 1 brought him I
Mother," she went on rapidly, “Mr.
Holt Is staying at the Woodcock with
that old gentleman we saw him with
the other day—they’re motoring. And
the old gentleman is lost, and Mr.
Holt has been out all night searching
for him.”
Mrs. Elphlnstone gave me a polite
welcoming, if somewhat frigid hand-
shake.
“Then I ’m quit« sure Mr. Holt will
do with some breakfast." she said. In
practical fashion.
“Attend te him,
Sheila.”
.
. .
“This Is very kind of yon, I said,
“but I really ought to be looking for
my missing friend.”
Mr. Elphlnstone sat down, helped
himself to some fish, and after a few
reflective sips at a cup of tea, leaned
across the table toward his step­
daughter.
“How would It be to Inquire at High
Cap lo d g er he suggested. “Verner'x
people might have heard something,
or know something.”
-Good I" said Shelia. “I ’ll U ke Mr.
Holt acroee there presently. That,"
abe continued, turning to me, “Is m j
cousin, Verner Conrthope’e place—
High Cap lodge. We’ll go see him.”
We each made a hurried breakfast
and set out. Our way lead toward the
bills and became rugged and lonely.
“My cousin has a small shooting
party at his lodge," announced Sheila,
as we came In sight of our destination.
“There's himself, and his manager
(Courthopes are bankers, yon know,
I d the city), a man named Armlntrade,
whom I loathe, and another man, a
London doctor, Kcclealmre, whom I de­
teat 1 1 suppose we shall And them at
breakfast.”
She was evidently well acquainted
with High Cap lodge and Its arrange­
ments, lor without any ceremony or
delay she led me lu by the front hall,
down a passage, and thrust open the
first sight But at that moment we
turned the corner of a plantation,
and came across U r. Elphlnatone. who

start on seeing us.
“Oh, ah, to be sure!" he exclaimed.
"1 believe I was coming to meet you. |

I Interrupted him, peremptorily: It
was the only thing to do.
“I t ’s awfully kind of yen, sir," I
said, “but I cant do anything until
I ’ve found or heard of Mr. Maxaroff.
"What’ll you do, now?" Inquired
8hella.
“Get hold of the police and have a
thorough search of the district made,
I answered. “And there’s no time to
be lost, so you’ll excuse me If I hurry
__
away."
I went off without more ado—I
knew very well that I should see her
again before the day was out and In
other days to come.

“What are you going to do, then?"
I asked.

something that gave me a start. There
was the slightest, the very slightest

wondering If Maxaroff had made a
clean disappearance on purpoae. By
this time he might be In London,
