The delay, short as it was, enabled the men he was following to reach the edge of the open lawn, across which they were cutting, and Tubby realized that to attempt to follow them into the cpen unseen was hopeless. It apâ€" peared that he would have to be conâ€" tent with the scrap of conversation he had already overheard. Resigned upon this point, he looked round for some covering to the well, but failed to find it although it was conâ€" cealed not far away from him in the bushes. Then he proceeded, as he put it to himself, to "scout round a bit." A shed adjcining the lodgs attract=d his attention. In it he could just make out the dim outlines of two bicycles, cne of the motor variety, and an orâ€" dinary "push" cycle. Neither of much account, it appear:d to him just then, theugh in this he was wrong. He was, indeed, about to slip out again, rather disappointed at the turn affairs had taken, when he . heard Cartwright and his lodgeâ€"keeper reâ€" turning. At once he dived under cover of the bushes, for he had no desire to be caught. With all his natural selfâ€" ccntidence he doubted his ability to tackle them both singleâ€"handed. you mean to bleed me, eh?" "I knows what I knows," came the dozged reply, "and so does the missus. So, if you don‘t want others to know, you‘ve got to pay." All along, Tubby had never felt more certain of anything in his life than thatâ€" George Cartwright was a bad egg, and bearing in mind the many things that had happened lately it ssemed to him an sccasion when a little eavesâ€" dropping was not only justifiable but assential. The two men were moving away, and, except for thos> two senâ€" tences, their vecices had become an inâ€" distinguishable burr. Quietly he pushed against the gate, and to his surprise found it unlocked. He was saved the necessity of climbing the wall this time. Slipping inside, he tiptoed afte: them, hurrying in order to reach 2 point from which he could hear some more of their conversation. He was along the path when instinct, some sixth sense of danâ€" ger more than anything else, made him pause. Right in his way lay a deeper shadow into which he had been on th® point of planting his foot when this instinct made him draw back. Bending down, he drew a sharp breath. It was no shadow but an empty void, the void of an uncovered well. Tubby‘s first feeling was one of inâ€" dignation more than anything else. He had heard ncthing, of course, regardâ€" ing Phyllis Laleham‘s nightmare adâ€" venture with this same well. "Careless devils," he muttered angrily "to leave that op:sn. Anyone might pitch down it who didn‘t know it was there." He had ancther cause for annoyance, too. The delay, short as it was, enabled the men he was following to reach the edge of the open lawn, across which they were cutting, and Tubby realized pause. shadow point « instinct no particular reason, save that that way was as good as any other, he sauntered un towards the Manor House, and he had just reached the gates, when he hsard the sound of voices, subdued yet evidently engaged in alâ€" tercation. Two men were emerging from the lodge, Cartwright himself, ahd Kelly, as Tubby guessed at once. It was a sentence from the formsr which reached Tubby‘s ears. "Youâ€"scoundrel," he was saying, "so ered, their omission to do so plunging him still degeper into the unaccustomed mogd of selfâ€"pity into which he had sunk.

His death was not unexpected. The lats Mr. O‘Grady, who was 67 years of age and unmarrisd, was born in Renfrew county and came north in the early days of the Cobalt boom. He prospectâ€" ed in various sections and followed the mining industry during the greater part of his time, with the exception of a few yvears on a farm near Chariton.

No, no, young feller, you don‘t catch Oi." Pleased at his own cuteness, he reâ€" mounted and cycled home. So Tubby livered. For an instant the bemused Tubby thought it â€"wasâ€"still Kelly. â€" Then he grasped him by the arm. "Didâ€"you see a fellow riding off?" h> asked. The newcomer nodded and pointed down the rcad. "Aye, maister, Oi did. Aâ€"pedalling like fun, ‘e were." ‘"*Then," urged Tubby, "I want you to go straight to P.C. Dodson and tell him that Mr. Cartwright‘s been thrown into his own well. I‘m going after the chap that threw him there." Tearing back into the grounds, he lugged the motorcycle from its shed. It was a machine of ancient vintage, but it rssponded nobly to the kick starter. The cyclist was still standing watching him when he let in the clutch. Funeral of J. E.

He was just about to mount, when Tubby reached him. But this time the latter was rot destined to repeat hi; former victory over the lodgeâ€"kesper. A vicious uppercut from Kelly sent him sprawling on his back. caught his master‘s sagging body and hurled it head foremost into the well. To the ears of both men there rose at length the distant splash, and then, muttering inarticulate things under his breath, the murd®rer made for the shed and dragged out the cycle, Whereat Tubby came out of his trance. He sprang from the bushes and called on Kelly to stop, but the latter, as if frenzied by this revelation that there had been an eyeâ€"witness to his dreadfuli deed, dashed with his machine into the road.
