Bart-ley. . . ; ) 'v- ; His light rested oa . tha massive wooden door ' of an Uld-fashloned burial vault dug out of the hillside and fastened securely by a largs lock.

Hartley picked the lock, then flung the door-open and turned his flashlight Into the darkness within. 1 think that Carrie sad myself both held, our breath as the, light swept back and forth over the t walla and floor. It disclosed nothing mors startling star-tling than a number of boxes, similar to those we. had seen on the truckv piled one on the other against the walls, it was plain enough where the load had been gotten, i ; v Bartley .led ,the way la aad dosed the door behind us. Once mora , he swept the vault with his torch, and this Urns wo noticed a lantern on a box sad Ut It . ' 'V, ' 'The ' vault was about twenty-flve feet long and had been dug Into the side of the hill, but the sides and roof were of stone. Along the walls were niches for coffins, and these were piled high, aad the floor as well, with hundreds of smaU boxes. Tha flams of the lantern flickered la a draft and queer shadows danced on the walla, while a musty, earthy smeU rose half chokingly.. It was not tha most pJea sat place to be In." ? -mtv But Bartley did not seem to mind It He stood in the center of the floor, glancing around the vault with such an smused smile that 1 knew that something-had pleased him- particularly. particu-larly. Suddenly he went to the nearest near-est box, ripped off the cover, and drew out a bottle.'' We crowded around him as he' removed the paper and dla-cloaed dla-cloaed the label of a ' weO-kaowa brand of Imported whisky, .v ti ; ' "That's what I expected," Bartley commented, '"We know now what was Thara What I Expected," Bartley ' , . Commented. . on that track.' Captain Lowe wont' have to bunt any longer for the place where tbey hide smuggled whisky.' j He made a careful search of the vault The boxes lined the walls to a. height of six feet oa all sides. A few cigarette stubs oa the dirt floor showed thst some one bad been smok-; Ing. but there was nothing to Indicate! whom 'he might have bees., 'As be finished bis examination. Bartley said, ' ,"I. guess, we may as well g now. I had taken off my bat whan I ea-. tared the vauit, and placed It oa aaa, of the boxes, and bow when 1 looked for it I -could not And IV It occurred to me that It must have fallen behind a box; and, taking Bartley's torch, l climbed upon ' the box and flashed tbg light Into the niche behind tha one oa which I thought I bad laid It There It lay. As I reached for it my band came la contact with something bard. I knew, even as my. fingers groped for the object, thst it wss s revolver. Climbing down from the box, I went op to Bartley. ! . . "Look what I found I" I exclaimed. "Where did you get thst r ha asked excitedly ss he took It from me.' I told him of my bat falling behind the boxes, and how the revolver hsd been la the niche back of thenu There seemed no reason for bis being so excited ex-cited over the find, bat bis next words enlightened me. " That's the gun thst wss In Slyke's hand this morning. I recognise the worn place on the barret". . v"But how did it get there r I asked In wonder. ' i "''.'i)', fl doat know,", was the reply. "It looks as If the person that threw It back of the boxes,, did It to hide It He may Intend to come for It later." To my surprise, ho bent over suddenly sud-denly snd blew out the lantern. In a second the ' vault was ia ("darkness. Currle started to remonstrate, but a warning whisper from Bartley stopped him. . ' "Both "of you get back of that door at once. - There Is someone, outijde, DonT make a ; move or a sound. I think be is going to corns In." ' ' ' I 'bseji-rrtsrimutter In Surprise grojea our-way behind the door. At first I could besr. nothing; then on the other side of the wooden door I heard some , one stumble snd a hand fumble' for the lock. What could it mennt If the truck bad come back for another load we were In a bad fix Indeed. The men who had fired at us before would not healtato to shoot to kill this time, snd when we were ntllng no one would think to search for us in this vault In a fight, the odds were heavily against as. as Bartley alone was armed, , Currle and myself had been placed by Bartley so that when the ' door opened we would be bidden by It Ho took up his position on the other side, erouchlng flat scalnst tha wslU It was too dark tomake out his figure, or even that of Currle at my side. I listened to his uneasy breathing, and for a second wondered what he was thinking about. " Whoever wss opening the door had ao fear of making a aolse. He stumbled stum-bled into the vault sad swung tha door behind him with a tittle click. Then s lilt of light pierced the dark-aess dark-aess and we crouched against the wall, scarcely daring to breathe, expecting ex-pecting every moment that he would lee us. Just what he bad come for rneyer knew. . HtJplsyed the. light rather aimlessly along the walls, then turned In onto the floor, ill at ones tt paused, and I heard sn astonished gasp. No wonder, for the light was resting on Bartley's shoes. ' The next second he had extinguished extin-guished it and was msklng for the door. Almost before he had moved, Bartley bad flashed oa bis own torch and was saying, "pat np your,, bands. I have you covered." -: The light In Bartley's hand bad been focnsed on the man's body, leaving leav-ing his face In darkness. As ha began be-gan to move It upward to his face, the man made a swift flying dive a. Bartley's legs. Tha attack waa so sudden that be was taken unawares, and they fell to the floor together. As Bartley went down, he struck tha but ton of his torch and extinguished it' leaving us in darkness. .. We , could hear the two men thrashing about on the floor, but couid not tell who was getting the best of It. Then I remembered remem-bered the lantern snd searched for that Relighting tt, X held It above my bead so that the light fell ot the floor. Bartley was sitting oa tha maa that had attacked him,, bis face and white, suit streaked, with dirt and a lump reddening oyer one eye,, bat ha was smiling. He directed ma to Snd his torch, which hsd rolled half under a box, and relight It When I had compiled, be rose to his feet and, pulling the man up with him, told ma to throw, tha light oa the faca of hla prisoner.-'; . - "Let's have a look at this chap.". We saw a black, scowling face, sad crsel. shifty eyes that blinked angrily. Currle cried, '""Why.- Ifs Slyke's chsuffeor I" ,; . l... 1 . " . -JVS: . "' ; Tha maa did not deny it bat stood silent and glowering. Remembering what Bartley bad told me of tha but ler having . seen him oa fha stairs while .we were la fha towar rooms, I wondered If ho were the oaa who had placed the revolver here. When Bartley questioned hbn as to why ha bad eome to the vault he replied that It was Bone of his business and when Bartley suggested - that t. tha police might make It their business, ha only laughed t sneertagly. . We were discussing dis-cussing what we should do with him, since .there wss no charge oa which he could be errested, when we received re-ceived another shock. r ' ' - The chauffeur had closed the door of tha vault when he entered, but la soma wsy: It bad become unfastened during the struggle and - now -stood wide open, the lighted Interior plainly visible to anyone without We were standing, grouped together near the center of be room, our backs to-tho door, when s voice said,- -"Up with your handa, the whole four of you.

There wss but one thing to do, aad we an did It With our hands high in tha alrvwe turned to tha doorway to see who the Intruder wss.

Bartley looked puxsled, yet h little smile never left his face. ' Tha man stoc V arill for a moment before' advancing into the vault-' It teemed to me that be wks startled at finding four of us there. He came to the center of the vault, and stopped, keeping several feet away from us. "Starting with the man on the right" he said, "come over here, one by one. I am going to search you. No foolishness, now; I. will kill the first msa that starts something.? "My, what a plessant man." I heard Carrie mutter. 1 " ", The first maa on the right happened hap-pened to be Bartley. He stepped for-wsrd, for-wsrd, his bauds high In the sir. I wondered If he would submit quietly to being' searched. . He allowed the left hand of the maa to go over his clothing until It reached the revolver to bis pocket; thea like a flash be grasped the hand holding the gun at his chest and gave It such a quick Jerk thst the weapon fell to the floor.
