TRAPPED AGAIN
IERVIS was feeling much better;
the dreamy drowsiness had
aaatod, and hli head wai clear. He
ni horribly thirsty, but he felt
pretty aura of being able to atlck It
out till the tide went down only he
mast get over the bars and Into the
elites cave.
After a bit he pulled himself along
the bars to the aide of the cave.
His wet clothes Impeded him, and
he called himself a fool for not
haTlng stripped. Be managed to
scramble up the face of the rock
with the help of the nearest bar.
No way over here, or for as far as
he could reach outwards. The bars
ran to the roof of the cave. He
pulled himself across and tried the
other side with no better luck; but
he came on a foothold, and stayed
there leaning against the bars for
what seemed like a long time.
Meanwhile Rosamund Carew
walked Into Old Foxy Flxon's bouse
and called, "Robert!" She left the
hall door open behind her and stood
In the narrow hall.
"Why have you some here?"
Leonard said.
"What an affectionate cousin you
arel"
"Cousin t"
"Cousin," said Rosamund firmly.
"And, officially, I'm here to fetch
eggs. Janet's bens are on strike, so
I've got a perfectly good excuse for
coming."
' She walked past him Into the ugly
square room, shut the door on them
both, and asked Quickly,
"Robert, where la he? What has
happened?"
"Nothing's happened," said Rob
ert Leonard.
"D'you mean he won't?"
"He's an obstinate fool."
"You must give him time. Ton
didn't Imagine he'd give way at
once, did you I That's why I've
come. I want to see him."
Ho gave a short laugh.
"I sball play up the horrible scan
dal, and Isn't It better to pay than
to wash all the family linen In pub
lic. Jervls mayn't he In love with
me, but you can bank on It that he
won't send me to jail."
"Oh, hold your tonguel" said
Robert Leonard angrily.
"Why have you come here?" Leonard asked.
There was just a chance that
while the bars ran straight across,
the roof might rise In the middle.
When the water waa high enough,
he crossed again, reaching upward.
He could touch the roof all the way
across. The bars met It Inexorably.
Old Foxy Flxon had set his port
cullis cunningly enough, at a point
where the root came down to meet
It There waa no way out on the
eaward aide.
4. cold doggod courage came up
in Jervls. Ks hadn't really hoped
that he would be able to get over
the bars Into the outer cave. He
put the whole thing away, and de
cided to make for the ledge on to
which the passage opened. He ought
to be able to make It pretty aoon
bow, and It would certainly be above
high water mark.
As to what would happen then,
It waa always on the cards that
Leonard might come along the pas
sage and open the gate carelessly.
In which case he would find himself
floored. Jervls' fancy dwelt fondly
en the thought of getting a grip on
Leonard's anklos. The passage
would make bard falling.
Aa It turned out, ho found ti
ledge without difficulty. Out It was
another matter to haul himself up
on to It, The sill of rock was a
couple of feet above water level,
and beneath It, and upon either side,
the wall was aa smooth and as slip
pery as Ice. He could never have
ellmbed to the ledge It he had not
chanced on the ring.
It was away to one side of the
11L lie had pulled himself up a
dosen times, only to be dragged
back by the weight of his drenched
lothes and hla own tired limbs,
when his desperate fingers closod
upon It. It was of Iron, heavily
rusted, an J had doubtless served to
aecure the rope used for hauling In
Old Foxy'a kegs. It was a god-send
to Jervls.
Straining and panting, he got a
knee on the sill and fell forward.
"A bit nervous this morning,
aren't you?" said Rosamund. "Well
anyway, that's my line, and 1 want
a chance of trying It One hundred
fifty thouson'a worth having."
"A million's better to say noth
ing of Weare."
"What d'you mean by that?" said
Rosamund sharply.
"What should I mean?"
"I don't know. Where la her
"He's In the cave."
"The cave?" said Rosamund. She
looked Incredulous for a moment
and then horrified. "But the tide
doesn't the tide come up Into the
cave?"
"It does."
"Robortl What have you done?"
"I? Absolutely nothing."
Rosamund took a stop backwards.
"What have you done?"
"I've done what I promised. I
gave him the chance of paying up,
and he wouldn't take It I can't say
I'm sorry. Weare and a million la
better than 150 thousand and the
Argentine, with the off chance of
Jervls doing us dirt."
Rosamund loaned hard upon the
door.
"It he's dead, youll never touch
a pennyl I told you sol Not one
penny, Robert!" She made a sud
den movement forward. "When Is It
high tide?"
"You mean when was It high tide,
I suppose. It was high tide at ten
minutes past eight this morning,
and will be again at about a quar
ter past seven this evening."
"Have you been down since?1'
"No."
"Well, I'm going down now."
"Want ma to come too?" said
Leonard.
"No. How much passage Is there?"
"From here to the cliff and It
slants."
She went down the remaining
stepe,
