CHAPTER III. "Not seen him? Why my dear sir, there's no question of It. It's cqrtaln absolutely. The evidence Is positive. The faot of the threats and of the body being found treated so is pretty well enough, I should think. But that's nothing look at those footmarks. They've walked along with him, one each side, without a possible doubt; plainly they were the last people with him In any case. And you don't mean to ask anybody to believe that the dead man, even if he hanged himself, cut off bis own hand first. Even if you do, Where's the hand? And even putting aside all these considerations, such a complete case in Itself, the Fosters must at least have seen the body as they came past, and yet nothing has been heard of them yet. Why didn't they , spread the alarm? They went straight away In the opposite direc tion from home there are their foot marks, which you've not seen yet, be yond the gravel."' Hewitt stepped over to where the patch of clean gravel ceaed. at the op posite side to that from which we had approached the brook, and there, sure enough, were the now familiar foot marks of the brothers leading away from the scene of Sneathy's end. "Yes," Hewitt said; "I see them. Of course, Mr. Hardwlck, you'll do what seems right in your own eyes, and in any case not much harm will be done py the arrest beyond a terrible fright for that unfortunate- family. Never theless, If you care for my Impression K is, as I have said, that the Foster, have not Been fineathy today." "But what about the hand?" ( ' "As to that I have a conjecture, but as yet It is only a conjecture, and if I told It you would probably call It ab surd certainly you'd disregard It, and , perhaps quite excusably. The case Is a complicated one, and If there Is any thing at all in my conjecture, one of the most remarkable I have ever had to do with. It interests me intensely, and I shall devote a little time to ful lowing up the theory I have formed. Tou have, I suppose, arleatly communi cated with the police?" "I wired to Shopperton at once, as soon as I heard of the matter. It's a 12-mlle drive, but I wonder the police have not arrived yet. They can't be long; I don't know where the village constable has got to, but In any case he. wouldn't be much good. But as. to your idea that the Fosters can't be sus-pected-well, nobody could respect your opinion. Mr. Hewitt more than myself, but, really just think. . The notion' Impossible llfty-fold impossible. As ;,"". ' -v.: soon as the police arrive I shall have that trail followed and the Fosters ap prehended. I should be a fool If I didn't." "Very well, Mr. Hardwlck," Hewitt replied, "you'll do what you consider your duty of course, and quite properly. Though I would recommend you to tuke another look at those three trails" In the path. I shall take a look In tills direc tion." And he turned up by the side of the streamlet, keeping on the gravel at Its side. I followed. We climbed the rising ground and presently among the trees came to. the place where the little rill emerged from the broken ground In the highest part of the wood. Here the clean gravel ceased and there was a largo patch of wet, clayey ground. Bcv eral marks left by the feet of cattle were there, and one or two human foot marks. Two of these (u pair), the new est and the most distinct, Hewitt studied tartfully, and measured in each direction. . "Notice these marks," he said. "They may be of Importance or they may not that we shall see. Fortunately they are very distinctive tho right foot fs a badly worn one, and a smull tag of leather, where tho sole Is damaged, Is doubled over and trodden Into the soft earth. Nothing coiild be luckier. Clear ly they are the most recent footsteps In this direction from the main road, which lies right aheud, through the rest of the woml," ".Then you think somebody else has boon on the scene of the tragedy, be- Gijmore's Aromatic Wine A tonic for ladies.

We shall be able to report Its arrival to Mr. Hardwlck as we go down." We turned and walked rapidly down the Incline to where we came from. Mr. Hardwlck and his man were still there, and unother rustic had arrived to gape. We told Mr. Hardwlck that he' might expect the' police presently, and pro ceeded along the gravel skirting the stream, toward the lower part of the wood. Here Hewitt proceeded very cau tiously, keeping a sharp lookout on either side for footprints on the neigh- ' "?z "Sec," He Snld, "Here It Is.' boring soft ground. There were none, however, for the gravel margin of the stream made a sort of footpath of Itself, and the trees and undergrowth were close and thick on each side. At the bottom we emerged from the wood on a small piece of open ground skirt ing a lane where the stream fell Into a trench, Hewitt suddenly pounced on another footmark. He was unusually excited. "See," he said, "here it Is the right foot with Its brukan leather, and the corresponding left foot on the damp edge of the lane Itself. He the man with the broken shoe has 'walked on the hard gravel all the way down from the source of the stream, and hJs Is the only trail unaccounted for- near the body. Come, lTrett, we've an adven ture on foot. Do you care to let your uncle's dinner go by the board, and follow?" "Can't we go back and tell him?" "No there's no time to lose, we must follow up this man or at least I must, You go or stay, of course, as you think best." - ;!.,.', I hesitated a moment, picturing to myself the excellent, colonel as he would appear after wilting dinner an hour or two for us, and decided to go, "At anv rate,", I said, "If the wuy lies along the roads we shall probably meet somebody going In the direction of Ratherby. But what Is your theory? I don't understand nt all. I must suy everything Hardwlck said seemed to me to be beyond question. There were the tracks to prove that the three had walked together to the spot and that the brothers had gone on alone, and every other circumstance pointed the Bame way.1 Then,' what possible, motive could anybody ela? About here have for such a crime, unless, Indeed, it were one of the people defrauded by RiH'a thy's late ftompames," . "The motlvo," sald . Hewitt,., "Is, . I fancy, almost extraordinary Indeed a weird one; a thing as Of centuries ago. Ask me no questions; I think you will be a little surprised before very long. But come, we must move." And we wended our pace along the lane. The lane, by the bye, was hard and firm, with scarcely a spot where a track might be left except in places at the sides, and at these places Hewitt never gave a glance. At the end the lane turned ilnto a iby-road, and ait (the turning Hewitt stopped and scrutinized tlie ground closely. There was nothing like a recognizable footmark to be seen but almost Immediately Hewitt turned off to the right, and we continued our brisk march without a glance at the road. . 'How did you judge which way to turn then?" I asked. 'Didn't you SLe?'1 replied Hewitt. "I'll show you at the next turning." Half a mile further on the road forked, and here Hewitt stopped and pointed silently to a couple of -small twigs, placed crosswise, with the longer twig of the two pointing down the branch of the road to the left. We took the branch to the left and went on.. 'Our man's making a mistake," Hewitt observed. "He leaves his friends' message lying about for his enemies to read." We hurried forward with scarcely a word. I was almost too bewildered by what Hewitt had said and done to formulate anything like a reasonable guess as to what our expedition tended, or even to make an effective Inquiry though after what Hewitt had said I knew that would be useless. Who was this mysterious man with the broken shoe, what had he to do with the mur der of Sneathy, what did the mutila tion mean, and who were his friends who left him signs and messages by means of crossed twigs? , We met a man, by whom I sent a short note to my uncle, and soon after we turned Into a main road. Here, again, at the corner, was the curious message of twigs. A cart wheel had passed over and crushed them, but It had not so far displaced them as to cause juiy doubt that the direction to tuke wbb to the right. At an inn a little further along we entered and Hewitt bought a pint of Irish whbtky and a flat bottle to hold It In, as well us a loaf of bread and some cheese, which we carried away wrapped In paper. f "This will have to do for our dinner," Hewitt said ,as we emerged. "Hut wo'er not going to drink a pint of common 'whisky bttween us?" I asked, In some astonishment. "Never mind," Hwltt answered, with a smile. 'Perhaps wi'll find somebody to help us somebody not so fastidious as yourself as to quality." Now we hurried hurried more than ever, for it was beginning to get dusk and Hewitt feared a dllllculty In find ing and reading the twig signs In the dusk.

To me there was some thing almost weird and creepy in this curious hunt for the Invisible and In comprehensible, guided faithfully and persitently at every turn by this now unmistakable signal. After the second turning we broke into a trot along a long, winding lane, but presently Hewitt's hand fell on my shoulder and we stopped. He pointed ahead, where some large object, round a bend of the hedge, was Illuminated as though by a flight from below. "We will walk now," iiewm "Remember that we are on a walking tour, and have come along here entire ly by accident." We proceeded at a swinging warn, Uoniii u'hlMtlln iruvlv.
