"There is anothei document here whhh sheds light upon that phase ol the mystery," volunteered Mr. P.el lovves. and he sorted an envelope from the mass of documents in the steel box. From the envelope he drew a heav sheet of yellowed linen paper In J3 I mm at mf the Bellowes went to a safe In the Mr. corner, and took from an Inner compartment a bunch of heavy keys.

"That contains the Instructions and related documents, your lordship." he said, and lifting It to the table top. fitted a small key to the lock. There was a click and the cover flew back. Inside was a wooden lid which Hugh pried up with his thumbnail, and below that a layer of oiled silk, and below that again more layers of cloth, silk and linen. Finally, we came to several framed parchments. The first frame contained a sheet of parchment, I should say, twelve Inches by ten, covered with minute Fltaek Letter script in a rather corrupt form of medieval Latin. "That Is Hugh's Instructions," saio the solicitor. "I'd advise you not to to strain your eyes trying to make out the original. We had a very careful translation prepared, and checked over by scholars at Oxford." He drew out a typewritten sheet ul foolscap, and N'ikka and I read It iver Hugh's shoulder: "INSTRUCTIONS ot Hugh, Lord ol Chesby.

It was dated 'Castle Cheshy, ye 5th Septr., 1502," and we read the vigor ous strokes with ease: "Forasmuch as yt hath pleased God to sette mee In authorise In this my deert iate Husband's place, I have seene fitte to Take that Itoote of Evlll which hathe heene ye bane of Oure race Fromme oute ye Chartar Cheste and putte yt where yf may Wreak noe I will more Of harmme and not have my.

"It was she whi blocked ip the dd family crypt, saying It was not fit to bury Protestant Chesbys with the Papist lords. "Yes," said Mr. Bellowes, turning from the stenographer, "and If you recall, my lord, she blocked up the crypi so successfully that Its exact location has been a mystery ever since." And to us he explained: "It lies somewhere under the extensive ruins of Crowden priory, an old monastic es-t'Ishment which was closely linked with Chesby in the Middle ages." Hugh rose reluctantly. "I am afraid we have learned noth ing here," he said. "We'll take the night train for Chesby." Mi Rollowe- - suspended his work of returning the several documents to their places in the steel box. "1 do hope you will take thought to whatever you do, your lordship," he urged.
