Pushed away beâ€" hind the curtains was a long low box of heavy wood. Malcolim was too new to South Africa to recognize a "voorâ€" kis"; the solid wooden box which trekâ€" kers fastened to the front of their wagâ€" gons to serve the double purpose of a seat for the wayfarers and a place of satety for their more valuable possesâ€" sesions. It was lockedâ€"and it was the only piece of locked furniture in the wlhiole house, »ersonality, vi iustere to the aighly polishe aancing dits a: ajiong the passags and across the livâ€" ing room to the window, and peered out from behind the blind. One glance was enough. Corneille had told him of young Japie van Stellen‘s famous grey horse, and there, not twenty yards away, clear in the moonlight, was that very horse l)xmgmz, his masâ€" ter home. The grey thundered round the corner o[ the house, Then Malcolm made his first mistake. In his anxieiy to make sure that Japie would go on to the stables, and so give him the start that he must have, inadvertently he pulled the blind aside. That false movement was enough <to catch an observant veldâ€"trained eye. Malcolm saw the grey reined on to its haunches, and even before it had stopped Japie was out of the saddle. The only hope now was to take a chance. "He mustn‘t reccognize me," hamâ€" mered Malcolm‘s brain. ‘"‘That old blanket . . . look like a native." Rushing back to the bedroom h« whipped the blanket out of the voor: kis, and flung it round his shoulders: then, in groping for the catch of the bedroom window, he made his second mistake.

There was no cover no hope of dodging Llhere was no cover, no turning no hope of dodging his pursuer, an{( the spruit was still twenty yards away It was the moment for taking anothe chance, and the only possible chance if he were to remain unrecognized, wa the old schoolboy trick, At the mom ment when he felt that Japie was righ on top of him, he dropped like a stone and Japie went sprawling over ant( beyond lhiim.

"Steady, old bird," and for goodnes: sake speak quictly," interposed Mal colm. "We‘ve got a long way to g( still. PFirst, we don‘t know that Morâ€" timer <did carry his crop that night next, when the crop found its way int: ‘an Stellen‘s house; and finally, hox it got there at all, Our job, Cornecille is to find the answers to thesse quesâ€" tloris." "Well, we can fix the first almos at once. Father can tell us." "You‘ll forgive me for saying so, said Malcolm earnestly, "but I sugges we leave your father out of this. I he knows, it will only worry him more and the fewer people there ars in thi the better our chance of finding ou things." Fortunately Corneille saw the fore, of that argument, and without ever questioning Malcolm as to how he hac got the crop, he went indoors, on some clothes, and led the way t« the stables in quest ‘of Jani. Observaâ€" tion is a strong point with most native; and the stable boy‘s reply to their quesâ€" tion was decidedâ€"Mortimer had carâ€" ried his crop when he set out fo: Brandfontein. "Now for the answers to the other questions." said Malcolm. "Come tco my rondavel, old man." Malcolm sat on his bed staring at the floor. Heexplained why and how he lhad broken int>» van Stellen‘s house, "There are a number of perfectly good ways of explaining the presence of that crop. For instance, it could have been picked up on the veld, at any time between Mortimer‘s disapâ€" pearance and yesterday evening. It‘s possible that this is just what did happen, in which case we should have the answers to our other two queslions the answers to our other two quesuions before long." "How do you mauke that out?" ‘"Well, I imagine that Japic won‘t keep last night‘s doings to himself and as soon as the chap who got that crop into the house hears that it has began his prepa van Stellen‘s cay Speak quietly, old man," 1 Where did it come from?
