hole, and that one was Brunton. The

girl must have waited above. Brunton then unlocked the box, handed up the

contents presumably since they were not to be found and then and then

what happened?

What smouldering fire of vengeance

had suddenly sprung into flame in this

passionate Celtic woman's soul when she saw the man who had wronged her

we suspected in her power? aa it a chance that the wood had slipped and that the stone had shut Brunton into what had become his sepulchre? Had she only been guilty of silence as to his fate? Or had some sudden blow from her hand dashed the support awav and sent the slab crashing down

into its place? Be that as it might,'

I seemed to see that woman's figure still clutching at her treasure trove and flying wildly up the winding stair, with her ears ringing perhaps with the muffled screams from behind her and with the drumming of frenzied hands against the siab of stone which was choking her faithless lover's life out. "Here was the secret of her blanched face, her shaken nerves, her peals o hysterical laughter on the next morning. But what had been in the

box? What had she done with that? Of course, it must have been the old metal and pebbles which my client had dragged from the mere. She had thrown them in there at the first opportunity to remove the last trace of her crime.

"For twenty minutes I had sat mo

tionless, thinking the matter out. Musgrave still stood with a very pale face, swinging his lantern and peering down Into the hole. " 'These are coins of Charles the First,' said he, holding out the few which had been in the box; 'you nee we were right in fixing our date for the Ritual.' "'We may find something else of

Charles the First,' I cried, as the probable meaning of the first two questions of the Ritual broke suddenlv

upon me. 'Let me see the contents of the bag which you fished from the

mere.'

methods in suchj put myself in the

man's place and having first gauged his intelligence, I try to imagine how 1 6hould myselt have proceeded under the same circumstances. In this case the matter was simplified by Brunton's intelligence being quite firstrate, so that it was unnecessary to make any allowance for the personal equation, as the astronomers have dubbed Jt,,lie, knew; that something valuable was concealed. He had spotted the place. He found that the stone which covered it was just too heavy for a man to move unaided. What would he do next? He could not get help from outside, even if he had some one whom he could trust, without the unbarring of doors and considerable risk of detection. It was better, if he could, to have his helpmate inside the house. But whom could he ask? This girl had been devoted to him. A man always finds it hard to realize that he may have finally lost a woman's love, how ever badly he may have treated her. He yould try by a few attentions to make his peace with the girl Howells. and then would engage her as his accomplice. Together they would come at night to the cel-

for them in more peaceful times.' " 'My ancestor. Sir Ralph Musgrave. was a prominent Cavalier and the right-hand man of Charles the Second in his wanderings, said my friend. "'Ah, indeed!' I answered. 'Well, now, I think that really should give us the last link that we wanted. I must congratulate you on coming into the possession, though in rather a tragic manner, of a relic which is of great intrinsic value, but of even greater importance as an historical curiosity." "'What is it, then?' he gasped In astonishment. " 'It is nothing less than the ancient

crown of the kings of England.' " 'The crown ! ' ' 'Precisely. Considei what the Ritual says. How does it run? "Whose was it?" "His who is gone." That was after the execution of Charles. Then, "Who shall have it? "He who will come." That was Charles the Second, whose advent was already forseen. There can, I think, be no doubt that this battered and shapeless dia

dem once encircled the brows of the royal Stuarts. "'And how came it in the pond?"

'"Ah, that is a question that will take some time to answer.' And with

that I sketched out to him the whole long chain of surmise and of proof

which I had constructed. The twilight had closed in and the moon was shining brightly in the sky before my narrative was finished. " 'And how was it then that Charles did not get his crown when he returned?" asked Musgrave, pushing pack the relic into its linen bag. " 'Ah, there you lay your finger upon the one point which we shall probably never be able to clear up. It is likely

could follow their actions as if I had actually seen them. "But for two of them, and one a woman, it must have been heavy work the raising of that stone. A burly Sussex policeman and I had found it no light job. What would they do to assist them? Probably what I should have done myself. I rose and examin

floor. Almost at once I came upon

what I expected. One piece, aboutl

three feet in length, had a very marked indentation at one end, while several were flattened at the sides as if they had been compressed by some considerable weight. Evidently, as they had dragged the stone up they had thrust the chunks of wood into the chink, until at last, when the opening was large enough to crawl through, they would hold it by a billet placed lengthwise, which might very well become indented at the lower end, slnco the whole weight of the stone would press it down on to the edge of this other slab. So far I was still on safe ground.
