You ought not to neglect me- said
the skeleton. I'm one of the family
and should be treated as such. Now,
then, let's have a chat"
The skeleton crossed his bony legs
and settled back comfortably.
viii it do me any good to have a
chat with you?' quericd Gordon.
THAT remains to be seen. 1t used to
do your father good. Why, it was my
custom TO visit him every night. As he
sat before that table there, writing, I'd
sneak out of that closet, come quietly
up behind him and put an arm caress-
ingly about his neck" The skeleton
laughed, working his bony jaws with
a succession of cracking sounds that
made Gordon SILVER.
You succeeded well in shortening
my fathers life" returned Gordon,
gloomily. Under your tyranny he
sunk into his grave long before his
time
so he did, so he did, and he passed
me on to you with the rest of his prop
erty, real and personal. 1t was a rich
Inheritance, my dear boy, even though
| had to be dragged at its heels. Yet
