I. ..u—... "CHAfKBR XVIII Their departure might or might not have been reported at the house, but they went unquestioned. Mouse lumbered along on the elephantine quickstep that consumes the miles. , Once started he seemed in haste to get somewhere. He gave evevg indiI cation of definite purpose. As if it had needed only Mikefc encouragel ment to precipitate an action on ' which he was already deliberating. 1 It was Sandy’s opinion that Mouse ' had been courteously waiting for ’ Mike to finish his morning's toilet before staitinaotT on investigations of hts own. At the end of about a mile they overtook a group of natives heading toward Turtle I'awn, a fishing vil- ■ Inge on a navrow strait through a constriction of the island, and ; fomnnga boundary of Colonel Carl- • ton’s terrain, which by this shallow sluice was made an island Hi its entirety. Though hating to break the continuity of Mouseis course, Sandy felt that heen-ht to question the natives, and ordered a halt. Isohel had said that Mousens reputa- . tion as a mass of wisdom and benevolence had become established, so that he was beld in awe but floc in fear, and Sandy was therefore surprised to see the blacks sheer . wide. He cSLeA attfi beckoned, but they- ’ would not approach. More than that thqy began to huxey on their way, in a vfte detour, eyes wiling back over their shouMers. Sandy shouted a peremptory order to the nearest of them, a young negress standing haughty and arbof Ms if • disdaining actual flight, to comer -tearer as he wished to speak to her. j She answered shortly in a few words that hercould not understand, ’ .hen set off after the others, ] "Whatf* the matter with thcstT" - Sandy asked, vexedßt. “Are they , afraft of Mouse m- ot usf* } “Ayther, air. Mike answered; "or I' both, maybe. Since all the natives ■ hereabouts are4>y now usedto seem’ Mouse and there is no harm in I him. it looks like they do not want , to be asked questions'* 1 Mousers ears were moving rest- ' lesaly as if impatient at the delay. ’Go on," Sandy ordered, and they resumed their way along the trail that skirted the ffink of a low mole r partly covered by a growth of seas grape. Mike looked back and aaia c — “Ever since Mouse snatched the dress off a wench that plagued him by putting snuff in his troonk they are none so sure about his good nature. Sure I have known iliphants would have treated her demmed rough for such a tr'rick." Mouse swung along on his aelf--ppointed way. Presently Mike mned back and said:— “Yonder i the cove where the Colonel is thought to have been lost, sir. Wan of the naygroes told me that sometimes the place swarmed wit’ what he called ‘heavy fish.’ He said they • ere not sharks, but worse." “Barracuda, perhaps. They will ittack a bather, like wolves. Tear -t him. That might have happened o that he fell and had a stroke or heart failure. But it scarcely seems possible He was a strong man. young for his age* The trail, a mere footpath worn oy the natives, dipped down to the and pjcxsed around the head ®of the little Eight Mouse scuffled j iewu a short steep descent forelegs rtiffly braced, hind quarters sliding.

strap. Mouse plumped down with a lurch but surefooted!?, then stopped. His trunk extended itself toward the bushes at one side its delicate tip reaching for some object He picked it up and curving back his proboscis offered to Mike a gold watch dangling from a fob. "Sainis . . ." Mike handed it to Sandy who saw that it was engraved with the letters G.O.V. "Vinckers’ watch. Now what do you know about that?” “And thai is not the half of it," Mike said drily. Sandy ‘urned the watch in his hand. “Half past two. . . . It’s stopped—the crystal's broken and jammed he hands. Well, here's a lie nailed. Four strings of lies that were nicely spliced.’* “And did Mr. Vinckers claim he Had not been off the premises, sir?” “He didn't need to. The others volunteered enough to check up his .being in the house all night." Mike gave a grunt “Sure it’s thee gr’rand little detective we have under us, Mr. Crewe. There is no getting around a stopped watch, when •tis stopped by gettin’ jammed. "Twould be about that hour of the jnorn.ng that Miss Isobel set out u ou Mouse.” Sandy slipped the watch into his poeket This brings us to here. ■Sells pretty clearly what happened so far. Vinckers saw Miss Isobel ride off on Mouse. He followed, probably afoot He took a spill off this ledge and his watch slipped out and fell and broke the crystal and stopped. I don’t like it Mike." “Me nagther, sir. All the same, I do not think Miss Isobel wud be ji danger the top of Mouse." “She might have tumbled off. That was a steep pitch.” “Mouse wud pick her up again, air. See now how he do be pushin’ on with no doubt at all of where he is headin’ for. The ould baste has usomething in the mind av ’im.“ There could be no question of this. Mouse was if anything more purpo«ful than ever in his onward course. He passed around the head of the little cove, then swerving from the path struck up a tangled slope with thick growths of scrub alternating with bare ledges of rock. It was apparent to both men that the elephant could not long continue on this route. Higher up the mole he must be stopped by the roughness of the formation. This presently happened. They eame to ■ precipitous ledge that was fissured and eroded so that a man or even a deg or goat might scale it with no great difficulty but where the big pachyderm could not pass. There were dwarf cedars and other trees that were scrubby and of a sort with which Sandy was not familiar. Below them eras a thick cone of coarse vegetation, a hue of straggling palms and then the beach. Beyond the sea lay in bands of aquamarine over the shoals. Mouse had stopped and now stood quietly but panting from his elimb. His attitude seemed tc say:— “This is as far as I can take you. Now you’ll have to swing on your own i book. It's up to you to do the rest." Mike tamed, looked at Sandy with eyes that twinkled like blue i stilleto points and asked:— “What do yoA> be makin’ av it now, sir?” “Tts much, at least Miss Isobel was writing at the desk m the office. The chair was beside the open window. and the Venetian shutters were drawn high Mouse had pulled off the chain she had secured toe loosely and come up to look for the Colonel Miss lacbel knew ts rourse that

Mouse was there, outside the window, but she was busy with her work, examining papers and writing. The safe door would have been open.” “And much of value in it, sir?” “A considerable amount in cash, I should say, some jewels to the value of about seventy thousand dollars, and the Colonel’s will, by which he had left a fortune running in a million and odd pounds to Miss Isobel.” Mike softly blew out his breath. “And then, sir?” “Then Vinckers appeared in the doorway. Miss Isobel had reason to fear the man, now that her uncle seems to have lost his life. This was not entirely due to the fact that she stood between her relatives, Vinckers of course included, and a big fortune of which they are all badly in need.” “The divil, Mr. Crewe. And is he as bad as that?” “We don’t know yet how bad he is." Sandy said. “When she saw Vinckers standing there she was terrified. There would have been plenty in the brute’s face to terrify her. In his hand, for all we know.” ‘But would he dare put a gun on her*’’ "Perhaps, to scare her into silence. A beast like that would dare a lot, with three cool backers who had everything to gain. At any rate. Miss Isobel turned to a big protector that was standing by. She called to Mouse. He reached inside, whipped her up out of the chair and through the window, then either cradled her, as you say. or raised her so that she could scramble up his trunk onto his head. Then they started off, and Vinckers followed. She hadn’t counted on that All she thought of in her panic was to get away. Or perhaps he kept close, threatening to shoot her if she raised an alarm.” Mike nodded. “He would claim that he shot at Mouse, fearing the ill ph ant meant to do her some hart" “Yes, and then shot Mouse through the head. In the ear. They’d have fixed it Vinckers has been a big game hunter a crack with firearms. Look here, Mike, could Miss Isobel have urged Mouse ahead at a speed that would have left Vinckers far behind?” “I am none so sure, Mr. Crewe. Mouse has the speed, but I do not know could she hold him on it, were Vinckers a good runner. Tis likely that a man who is young and him an athlete cud have caught them up when they struck the rough goin’, back yonder by the ledge. And she might think she had left him far behind." Sandy looked up at the steep ledges above. “Mouse brought her this far anyhow. Lei's go np." They slipped to the ground, then started to climb, about twenty yards apart. Mike, a clown and tumbler before the fall that had erippled him for acrobatics, was still as agile as an ape. He reached the top of the steep ridge ahead of Sandy by acme yards, and about the same distosea to the left, passing out of sight over the top. Sandy had gone at the climb to make more haste than speed, been careless in picking a place tc go up u no part of it looked impassable. But now he found himself stalled on a narrow ledga with no proper hand or footholds above, ao that be must either descend or work sideways for some distance. Above him the reck rose sheer.
