Hilyer, undeterred by Hugh’s frosty

him.

This last with a well-bred leer.
“And Hilmi Bey, gentlemen! If you
know your Levant, you would recog-

I saw Nikka shift his attention at
this from the two Russians to the Lev-
antine, an olive-skinned individual,
good-looking in a portly way, with a
predatory beaked nose, effeminate
eyes and a sensual mouth.

“Very interesting, I'm sure," said
Hugh, coif us ever. “You won't mind

“Not Mr. Nikka Zaranko?” exclaimed
Mrs. Hilyer. “Oh, I say, it's a treat to

CHAPTER III
—4—
The Hilyer Party
Mr. Penfellow, the vicar, received us
at the west door of the parish church
a gigantic edifice which was all that
was left of the once noble foundation
of the priory of St. Cuthbert of Crow
den. He escorted Hugh—and inci
dentally Nikka and me—up the center
aisle to a high-walled pew directly
under the choir.
The tempered light that stole
through stained-glass windows left
most of the space in shadow, but I
deserted beyond the breadth of the
crossing a second box-like pew Identl
eal with ours, and In it a company
whose gay raiment and gabbling ways
were out of place In contrast with the
stolid piety of the village folk and
neighborins gentry.
“There's Hilyer, muttered Hugh in
my ear.

what he had regarded as his life work
He had succeeded where all others
had failed or feared to venture. And

time we understood fully thst we were

there was no limit. And we expert

comes from a desire to slake unsatis

amined it from end to end, tapped
the paneling for secret recesses, ex-
amined the furniture. No result
After luncheon, we began on the up-
per floor and went over the entire
wing in detall. We measured the dif
ferent rooms. I even took outer meas-
urements. We studied chimneys. We
sounded floors. Immersed in the bnnt
and baffled by lack of success, we
caused Watkins to put off dinner, and
worked on until after nine o'clock.
Still no success.
We went to bed that night, tired out
and disgusted. Rut in the morning we
arose with sharpened Interest and de
termined to canvass the possibilities
In the parts of the house the invaders
had searched. Again we took careful
measurements. Inside and out. Again
we sounded paneling, investigated re
cesses and chimney spaces. We hunt
ed for two days. Then we went back
and re-examined the west wing a sec-
ond time. We ended up In stark dis
appointment in the gunroom.
Nikka, who had relapsed into one
of his frequent spells of silent con
templation, jumped suddenly from his
chair.
"If it is here, It Is In this room,” he
said.
“Is that a gypsy prophecy?” jeered
Hugh.
There was s racket of motors out

pen red In the doorway.
"Pardon, yeur ludship. Rut I thought
you would wish to know Mr Hilyer

She was a dark girl, with great,
