CHAPTER VII.

After being released from his room
by Burrows, Lewis crossed the hall and
went into the parlor Though New
England farm people usually arise
early, he judged from the stiffness in
the house that no one else was yet astir.
He heard the detective go up stairs and
close his door behind him. In the quiet
of morning in the country the least
sound is heard afar off. He wondered
how it was that Burrows had been in
the hall so early and why he had re-
turned to his bedroom, but there was no
way of having his thoughts answered.
He stood near the fireplace for a long
time with one elbow on the mantel, his
head on his hand, gazing upon the spot
where the corpse had been found, as
though fascinated.
There are some who avoid the pres
ence of the dead, or places where the
dead have been. These would strenuous
ly deny the possibility that spirits of the
departed return to earth, yet i'll their Sc
cret hearts they admit that it might be.
They scott at ghosts, yet avoid chance
of meeting one There are others who
would no more enjoy suoh an encounter,
but who, having speculated little as to
the possibilities or probabilities, yet, i'll
an undefinable, half conscious way, won
der whether such things can be. These
are attracted to the scenes Of deaths. and
especially of homicides, for, If any
ghost should have the desire to return,
would it not be the grim specter of one
who had been forcibly elected from his
earthly she'll? Might not his unfinished
career contain some incompleted pur-
pose, so strongly impressed upon the
soul, that he would try to get back into
communication with some one whom
he might inspire to do his bidding, SO
that he, poor ghost, might continue
upon his long journey lighter hearted?
Or, in case of murder, might 1t not be
that the keen following of a scent by
the quick mind Of shrewd detective
results from the whisperings of the
spirit of the deceased, which hovcrs
about the scene till justice be done? If
this be a possibility, would it not be a
probability that such would be the case
where suspicion had fallen upon some
beloved one? For whether she, If a
woman were suspected, were even truly
guilty, might not a kindly, loving ghost,
be willing to save her from vengeance,
even though some other, perhaps his en-
envy, would suffer in her place?
However this may be, the fact re-
mains that. though we may speculate
aud speculate, we know nothing. Ard,
