verse. In All respects. II that long and
still nntenanied abode hai heard
the runners about the Hyde lark HOUSE
often when had lssn In London. and
my earnestly had always been rianed, -
that ne~. WHEN wanted ins, such
hnu~e FIR the season. determined d, 80
and look III il for myself
Finding all satisfactory. and lns, Al
expected from bottom 10 top. | Was
stepping ont IN the ronf with Mr.
crnlnhle, shr agent. and Was saying to
him
Well. can't conceive why people
won't live here" when nv eye fell upon
curious object erected upon IN. lead,
II the rear and surrounded hy high
railing. |. locked like huge sky high,
or glars lantern. about Ten feet long,
three high and three broad. But, iii.
stead u forming Il high, for a stairrase
Or room beneath, IL seemed 10 have been
built for the purpose Of covering an.
other curious object. which. occupying
nearly the whole ~ the space under
tho glass. WAS plainly visible through il.
This WIS long white box, resembling d
seAman's chest moro than anything,
only much larger. II rested upon four
legs or feet, which raised IL about n
foot from the fiat surface of the roof.
II was painted creamy whit, and war
nished. and, apparently not being In.
tended 70 open, nm, more than It's glass
covering. had no hinges or lock to its
top q Id.
Mr.. Crumble.
All replied that functionary, with
m odd expression In his face, that's il,
Mr!'
What's It, prayg'
Why, the secret. sir"
The secret how il il d secret? what
do yon meang"
Well, sir, what il il, what it's meant
for, what's inside of H."
Don't you know"
No. sir"
Doesn't any one know"
] suppose somebody does, sir, bn,
We don't. We are forbidden To innnirc
Or u attempt to find out; II We knew
We should be able to let the house. per.
hap,;'
How long has II been il,creY'
A long while. believe. sir ten oi
twelve wears. Before my time"
But who put /. mp"
'N1' $40 s'"s HI'B, w eispp0se HD
body seems to know exactly when il tirs
appeared there
But the servants" ! protested
they must know"
ooh! hav. heard there were non,
~ the house NJ the time; they wer. al
dismissed Just before il was put III
Mr., Gayling never keeps many servants
sometimes he has only ono, sometime
none. Nobody lives ia the house xhei
he's away, Int he always leaves the key
with ns. He ii always changing MI
servants. MIR. Ga,ling il; | have Otter
heard him say that he likes new braams.
What u h., Or Whit WAN hep
gentleman III the naval line, be
ltcvc. sir; they are rather rum 'uns, In
told.
"Hnmph' | said; Every odd. Blu
do You mean to tell me TINT nobody vii
live here because they don't know what
in that hoxs'
That's partly the reason, I'm told
Absurd was going on, when III
man continued:
but there's clause in tho agrcemcn
about Il; that's what does il, sir
Explain said.
Well, sir, here Is the clause" and Ii
produced the document; perhaps 70,
would like 70 read il yourself2'
Thus il ran
And IN taking the house, Ut III
rental, and for the term specified a
above, hereby solemnly pledge my oat
never directly, Or indirectly, through M
own agency. or that OF others, to a,
tempt 70 mcddlc with or disturb III

Tor what purpose il has been place
there. o. what II contains; and ! fnrthe
guarantee thnt no person in my emplo,
nor any ono entering the house dnrin

such ATTEMPT, and ] herehyinndcrtak
