It was but the violin. for they knew that
a violin can sob and moan and scream
with human misery and despair. But at
last the truth was recognized: II was. in

emotion no one could tell. Then. in a few
moments The wide door was flung open

Explanations of awe and wonder broke
from the crowd. Then a silence fell on
the waiting groups. Higher and clearer

crash Of discord the sounds ceased.
Inside the house Edwin Belden sat be-
fore his empty fireplace. His long white
hair and beard gave a weird. uncanny
look to the stin youthful face with its
vigorous. flashing eyes and firm. quiet
mouth. Assuredly for him the old house
was haunted: haunted by the ghosts be-

OF memory. The tragedy OF his name and
race was heavy upon him. The curse that
had seemingly settled upon them so many
years before weighed him down. The only
solace he allowed himself was his violin,
