"As a child, he said, "I never liked blindmans buff boys and girls, I mean I liked It less. That dislike I have never lost. lie put his hands to his head. "Id give a hell of a lot to know where Pharaoh is. I looked at him sharply. The last few words he had spoken half to himself, but his tone was the tone of a man who Is worried to death. Because I was fond of Geoffrey, the Instinct to share his trouble lifted Its head, and in that moment my apathy fell away. Pharaoh. Yes, where was Pharaoh? and what would Pharaoh do? As I asked myself these questions, my newly awakened Interest leaped Into life. I saw that here to my hand was the very distraction I needed to drive my distemper away ; the location and destination of Pharaoh and Pharaohs men. Yorlek and Its treasure be damned I had my own quarrel with Pharaoh. Ten days ago he had murdered a fellow-maI had sworn to bring him to justice, and so I would. More a hundred times more. My duty to Helena was over; the yoke that had cumbered my efforts was oft my neck. I began to think hard Pharaoh would be close to the castle. Not, of course, at Plumage. But Pharaoh would be close to the castle because he was up against Time. I had no doubt at all that he meant to attack. The position was formidable, for Yorlek was up In arms. But what were Its walls and sentries, when more than a million sovereigns were lying within? And since finesse had failed. Pharaoh was going to do what Pharaoh had done before. He was going to commit burglary. Once within the castle, a gang of four such men could have Its own way. What were footmen and grooms and porters? Only troops could cope with the violence which these felons were ready to offer to gain their ends. Three or four writhing servants, and the Countess must open her cellar and bid them take what they would. Who knew better than Pharaoh that ruthlessness pays? I remembered that Helena told me .that when she went to Salzburg she carried a thousand sovereigns; that these were contained In two boxes; that each of these weighed nine pounds. Allowing for the weight of the boxes, I reckoned that the Rolls could carry at least fifty thousand sovereigns In canvas bags. And fifty thousand sovereigns meant seventy thousand pounds. The calculation bore fruit. Before I had finished my sum, I knew where Pharaoh would be. And that was as close to the castle as he could bring the Rolls. A moment's reflection assured me that Pharaoh would make no use of the entrance drive. That was too dangerous. I was ready to wager a fortune that the Rolls was now standing In Starlight the lovely coppice less than two miles from Yorlek. And where the Rolls was, was Pharaoh; her way was his line of advance and his line of retreat The thing stood out In the woods between Starlight and Yorlek somewhere there Pharaoh would be. I began to wonder how Pharaoh would enter the castle. If Rush could reach a postern. . . . But how could they cross the bridge? 1 Here, with a shock of dismay, remembered that I was unarmed. For a moment my hopes seemed dust Then I saw that this was a matter In which I must use my wits. My cousin would arm me, If I could show him good cause. This would not be difiieult I was so simnever ple a fool that he would doubt my good faith. I began to think how to deceive him. stunt, I said. "This Wont Pharaoh he there to receive ns at the mouth of the entrance drive? "As like as not, sold my cousin. "The only thing Is that unless he heard or saw Lady Helena leave the castle, hell never Imagine that either of you are outside. So he wont be ready. But we'll have to go by all out. All the same, I m damned uneasy. I can sympathize with detectives who are answerable for the safety of royalty. And I know very well what theyd do.

If we meet the fellow on foot, were damned well done. Will you go with her In her car? No, said I. I wont Ill follow with Barley behind All right, said Geoffrey, all right. But Barleys the better shot so youd better drive. I thought before replying. "Incidentally," I said, "I havent a pistol to fire or any sort of weapon, for the matter of that "You wont need one, If you drive. Id rather have something, 1 said. Tve been caught bending once through being being unarmed. Perhaps youre right said Geoffrey. He put his hand to his side and unfastened a hunting knife. Knives seem to be yonr portion, bnt except my pistol, I haven't anything else. The blade was sheathed, and 1 slid the knife Into my pocket without a word. "And allow me to add, said my cousin, "that I am Immensely relieved to see yon showing some signs of taking thought for yourself. I take off my hat to valor, hut to valor plus discretion I go on my knees. And at that moment we heard the drone of a car. Two minutes later Barley drew up beside ns In a smother of dust. "O. K.? said Geoffrey, shortly. Every time, sir, said Barley. It couldn't have gone more easy If youd been there. The old fathers, they wasnt half pleased. His lord-shicome to his senses as we was gettin him out, but I dont think he cared what happened his head was too bad. An' when he saw the monks an the gateway, I think he thought he was dead. I gave them your note and I showed them the punctured wound. I'd made It with my trousers buckle, same as yon said. That was good enough for them. Four of them carried him off, an two of the others rushed off to heat the Irons. I only 'ope they dont take the leg off. My cousin strove to steady his voice. Hush, he said. "Her ladyship knows quite enough. I turned to see Helena approaching. Alls well, said Geoffrey. Yonr brother Is safely bestowed. I think weU all be the better for breaking It had been arranged, however, that the last three miles should be covered as fast as ever they could. Unless, therefore, I left the car before we approached the mouth of the entrance drive, I should base to wait until we had crossed the drawbridge, and that would be the end of my effort, for I should be seen retreating, 'and Geoffrey and Barley would follow and spoil my game. It looked as though I should have to enter the castle and leave by some wdndow or other as Pharaoh had done. But then there was always the draw bridge, flooded with light . . . Happening to glance at the mirror the car was closed I noticed the great Alsatian crouched on the hinder seat It occurred to me that the dog was there to watch me. My decision to cheat this surveillance hardened Into a stony and vicious resolve. One thing was In my favor dusk had come In. And since Helena was not hastening, night would have fallen by the time we came to the drive. So my cousin had ordered, for though I think we all knew that the risk of encountering Pharaoh was very slight, it was Helenas presence that hoisted the flag peril and made It essential that we should omit no endeavor to keep her person safe. Again, It would have been worse to have been In the leading car. The net might have been drawn rather tighter but that was all My chances seemed desperately thin. . . . In this state of mind I spent the next fifty minutes, smarting. And then at last, a mile from the entrance drive, the t bore to the right and the coupe slowed down and stopped by the side of the way. At once we did the same and, Somehow or other, I felt that my chance had come. Ill see what they want," I said, and slipped out of the ear. As I came to the door of the coupe Look here, my son," said Geoffrey, Lady Helena wants you to lead. I dont think It really matters, and so I have given way. From now on put down your foot and dont take It np again till youre over the bridge. Whatever happens, said Helena. My blood was boiling. Is that an order? I said. Yon gave It that name, said But were going to do Geoffrey. the same." All right," I said. I dont care." I made my way back to Barley and opened my door. Tve got to leave you," I said. They want me to ride with them. tail-ligh- bread. Helena nodded. "Ill sit with Barley," she said. Ive got to try and show him the way to my car." Ten minutes later we sighted a good looking coupe, tucked under a rock that looked like a leaning pulpit, by the side of a falL As Barley slowed down And now," said Helena. May I come with yon? said my Id like yon to drive." cousin. Very well. But Barley must lead. I dont know the way." This was not at all to my liking, but happily Goefrey stepped In. "Barley shall lead, he said, "till weve eaten and drunk. After that, Id like to go first. Please do as I say. Helena hesitated. Then All right, she said. After some 14 miles we stopped at a wayside inn. The fare was rough and all the appointments most rude; but I think we were all four thankful to break our fast Though they did not know It, I was a good deal more thankful than find anyone else; the others would God only but Yorlek, at plenty knew when and where I should eat lar and had flung an arm around his neck. Sabre, I breathed, "Sabre, dont let me down. Stay with me. Sabre. I'll be glad to have you. I'm on a good thing, Sabre. And you can help me, old fellow, to pull It off." So we stayed for live minutes. Then, with my hand on his collar, I got to my feet. I am sure the dog knew that the business on which I was bent was perilous stuff. From that time on, no man could have been more sagacious, more swift to make report, more scrupulous to obey. And, well as I saw, his sight was better than mine, for he saw the Rolls before I did, and checked me by standing still. The car had been hacked np the track and so stood ready to leave. No one at all was with her. Her radiator was cold. For a moment I hesitated, wondering whether or no to make some disconnection and so disable the car. And then I decided against this. The outlook was too uncertain; before now I had wanted a car, and wanted It quick. I took niy knife from Its sheath and turned to the delicate business of running my quarry down. And here for the first time I saw that Sabre alone was going to save my venture from becoming as abject a failure as ever was seen. As though I had told him my plight, I felt Sabre lower his head. Then he moved past the Rolls, led me up a bank and presently out of the coppice and Into the rolling park. When the llghth go out," said Thath what he thald. Dewdrop, Thats right, said Bugle. Thats 'ow we done that villa down In the souf of France. That was a show, that was. You never see such precautions against a poor thief; ouse like a prison turned Inside out an' 'alf a packet of candles between two 'nndred rooms, Ally Sloper was In that with Tharaoh. I can hear him laughin now as he opened the garden-door. Dear brothers, he says, Tm afraid there's some bandits Inside. SO dont you go for to cross them by showln a light Just as we makes the ballroom, a flunkey comes bustlin In with a candle in each of his hands. All lights out, says Tharaoh, and shoots him dead. Talk about panic. We well helped ourselves." But the stuff was there, said Rush. Thats what gets me. Tanks all right bnt we dont know the way to the gold. Iharaohs fly," said Bugle. It aint only the keys you can make wot can open doors." There was a little silence. The three were sitting in the meadows, just clear of the woods not between the castle and Starlight, but close to the entrance drive. The lights of Yorlek were showing a furlong away. I was crouching directly behind them, against the trunk of a tree. Sabre, beside me, was standing still as a rock. I could, I believe, have killed two perhaps all three. But It was Tharaoh I wanted, and Tharaoh was not there.' I could not follow their reasoning. Why should the lights go out? In the ordinary way the lights were put out at midnight perhaps before. But now the case was altered ; the drawbridge had to be watched. And then this talk of panic. . . . Had Tharaoh suborned some servant to do his will?
