1 It is necessary for tlio fouler to
know what kind of building .Monkou

disposition of the rooms, In order to
follow clearly tho action of tho
drama that took place within its
walls I can do no bettor than to
give tlio description by which I
brought tho facts homo io the com
prehension of my blind partner.
"Tell 1110 what you soo Thorno,"
he said, as wo stood on the lawn.
"An old (iothic building. Hanked
by two later additions In tliu Tudor

"Tho great door is tho center of

and the belfry rises from tho middle.
The block on the right and that on

is divided into drawing-rooms, sitting-rooms,

Whore is tho dairy, and tlio door

In the right: the kitchen is in tlio

"I understand: go on."
"There m'o tw oriel windows and

1 "lint from tho story above?"
1 "Thoro aro no windows over tho

I "Do the windows open?"
I "Yes."
And what distance Is tlioro bo
tweon tlio windows in tlio bay and
Miss I.aseollo's window?"
j "Seven or eight feet at least "
I "And tho wall between Is porfoctly
flat?"
"Thoro Is a stone molding runs
along parallol witli tho lloor of tlio
llrst story and tho biiso of tho orlol."
"Why didn't you tell 1110 that?" ho
askod sharply.
"Heeauso It Is perfectly impossible
for anyone to walk along it."
; "What width lias it?"
"A few inches. It seems to bo
' merely a stone gutter to carry olT
tho wator from tlio oriel."
"Is tlioro no Ivs on tho houso -nothing
to cutcli hold of?"
"Thoro is no ivy, but thoro is u
pipe lnldway botweon tlio bay nnd
tlio orlol; It descends from tho gablo
to the gutter."
"What! and you toll 1110 It is im
possible to get from tho hay to tho
window!"
"Tlio pipe is four foot from tho
bay anil four feet from tliu oriel.
Now, suppose, 1 ola. for I know whom
you suspect, got from the window In
tho bay she would hnvo to advaneo

for support, und with on" hand only,
until tho other could touch the pipe,

Four foot; that Is not linposslblo,
unless the girl is short linilml."
"It Is Impossible, If lu holding to
the mullioii or the pipe tlio girl had
to support part of hor own wolght. "
"Lot us go up und mousuru tho
width of tlio lodge,'' suiil Van Hoock;
"it may appear from below loss than
it is."
Wo wont up to my bedroom In tho
right block, which, as I liavu said,

from tho orlol I mousurud tho width
of tlio stono lodge outsldo. Van
Hooch's supposition wus just; it was
wldor, measuring a trlllo loss than
my spun, 11 no Inohos. Van Hooek
placed himself Ilat against tho wall,
und turning out Ills toes until ho ob
tained tho limit of width upon which
ho could sustain his equilibrium,
bade 1110 measure tlio do-tunco bu

It wus fully throe luclios within my

ClIAl'llllM II.
Hut 1 was still incredulous. How
wus tlio girl hiding In the woods nil
day to know of tho existence of the
ledge? It was true she had access
to tlio house at night, but I doubted
If it woro pos!ble lor her to see tho
lodge in the dark even from tho bay
window. Hut a.iiiiittiii tho possi
bility, would she risk her life for no
purpo-e hut to alarm .Miss l.ascelles?
Thoro was too much strength in
Lola's character for such a senseles
ami feeble device to be acceptable to
her. It was not tho act of a rational
being, but of a mischievous or
malevolent idiot.
I was inclined to bellovo that tho
explanation Miss Lascellcs had of
fered was a just otic, ami that what
sho had seen was purely imagina
tive and the result 01 fear, inspired
by those mysterious sounds which
might yet bo explained.
This was not Van Hoeok's opinion,
no- was it Hraco's
"I will not say the Kltl has done
it," ho salti; "there's no siiyln' what
greaser blood will not do. l'or tho
sake of argument, wo will say she
did, but I undertake sho shall not
pla tho suino bovvor twice, if hor
father's persuasion counts for tiny
thin';" and ho went oil at ouco to
search for Lola in tho wood.
When wo woro ulone, Vun llocck
said: "Ask Sir Hdinund; ho will toll
you, as ho told 1110, that Hraco was
in tho woods yestorduy while you
were philandering with Miss
Lascollos. What was ho thoro for
but to lind his daughter and employ
her in working out this plot?"
"(!ood hoavous!" I exclaimed,
losing my temper; "what notion
have you gut hold of now? Lust
night ,ou suspected sir Kdininid "
"1 would suspect any ono who has
tho opportunity to possess himself
of such a treasure as you hold. Do
you blaino the man who protects
himself when ills life is in danger?
That diamond is life to mo! What
could I do if it woro lost' You hold
that diamond -my life -in vour
keeping. You aro bound to take
ovory precaution for its safety. You
have no right to dosplso my warning
because it tines not aurco with your
reckless trust in humanity."
'What possible connection can
tlioro be?" I itskoil. "between tlio
safety of our diamond ami tho ovout
of last night J"
"A palpable connection The event
of last night was nu abortive at
tempi, to obtain tlio diamond."
As I hoard this, ami looked at Van
Hoock. I almost doubted if he woro
In his right mind.
"The plot failed," ho continued,
"becauso tlio girl mistook tho room."
An incredulous exclamation es
caped me.
You shall hear me," ho muttered,
stictchtug his uriii to tho right anil
loft until ho uiicouutored initio with
his hand, and then clutching it
tightly; "you shall see with my
eyes, if not witli your own. You
have urged that the girl could know
nothing of tlio disposition of the
rooms; but. she might receive In
structions from her father. lie wont
into tlio wood to give hor tho-io in

plan" ho handed 1110 the diagram I
hud drawn at Ills request. "Hi ace,
having his room at tlio back of
tliu right block, would naturally
toll bur that whon she got to tho
top of the stairs sho was not to pass
through tho plcturo-gallory, hut to

ippears that he sat on a thin sheet
of cast iron over a small gas jet. ac
cording to nil initiation custom of the
order, but that instead of Jumping up
on feeling the heat, as most candidates
tin, he retained his seat, probably to
show his stoicism When It was seen
that he would not rise of his own ac

that ids clothing had been burned

Nevertheless he made a good speech
