and two A. NJ. Certainly he would be away;
but not far away-near enough, indeed, to
know who went into it and who came out, and
some part of their business there if he saw fit.
Violet of course, might come and go as she
pleased; not so van Hupfeldt or any of his
myrmdons.
Thereupon, determined to oppose guile to
guile, he dismissed his charwoman long before
the usual time, and called the friendly hall
porter into consultation.
Jim" he said, when the lift shot up to his
floor in response to summons, Il guess you
wan: a drink.
Jim knew Harcourt's little ways by this
time. We'll, sir, he said, stepping forth and
unshipping the motor key, I'm bound to
admit that slight 1ubrikytion wouldn't be
amiss.'
" In fact it might be a hit, palpable hit.
Well, step lively Here's the whisky Now,
Jim, listen while talk l understand there is
to be a meeting of ghosts here to-night-no,
not a word yet; drink steadily, Jim-and it is
up to you and me to attend the convocation.
There is nothing to worry about. These spirits
are likely to be less harmful than those you
imbibing indeed, we may be called on to grab
one or two of them, but they will turn out to
be ordinary men. You're not afraid of man,
Jim"

"Ah, you heard of that?"
People will talk of bullet marks, sir, to say
nothink of drops o blood"
Drops of blood9 Whcre?"
"All round our front door. They wasn't
there overnight, an next day there. was a
revolver bullet stuck in your kitchen"
" Excellent! Clear proof that sort of
ghosts will bleed if you punch them hard
enough on the nose. Now, l want your help
in three ways. In the first place, l am going
out about seven, and will return about nine.
l want you to make sure that no one enters
my fiat within those hours Secondly, when
l come back, wish to reach this floor without
coming in by the front door. You understand?
If anyone should be watching my movements,
l would like to be seen leaving the mansions,
but not returning Thirdly 1 want you to
join me on guard when you close the front door
at midnight, hiding the pair of us somewhere
above SO that we can see, without fear of mis-
take, any persons who may possess keys which
fit my front door"
oh, that's it, is it?' said the porter, setting
down his glass. well, I'm your man, sir.
Leave everything to me. When you comes
home at nine just pop along the other street
until you sees a door leadin' to harea. Drop
down there, an you'll find yourself in our base
ment:: At twelve sharp I'll come in the lift
and fix you up proper"
i'm, YOU re TREASURED said David.

Ills Illlle Ilelt Could DC llO uOuDI
that Violet was the writer. Here the
identical handwriting of the first genuine note
he had received from her. And there was
Violet herself in the phrasing of it, though she
was brief and reserved. She wrote:
DEAR DAVID am in London for the pur-
pose of making certain inquiries. | must not
see you if l can help it. l must be quite, quite
ing want of confidence. In this matter l am
trusting to Gods help and my own endeavors.
But | want you to oblige me by being away
from your fiat tonight between midnight and
two A. NJ. That is all. Perhaps l may be able
to explain everything later. Your sincere
well wisher, VIOLET MoRDAUNT."
Then David ran like beagle to Euston
Station; but Violet had been gone from there
nearly an hour, because he found on inquiry
that the nine-eleven train from RgSworth had
arrived at noon. Yet he could not be content
unless he careered about London looking for
her. first at Portchester Gardens, then at Dib-
bins Office at which he arrived exactly five
minutes before she did, and he must have
driven along Piccadilly while she was turning
the corner from Regent-st.
Amid the maestrom Of his doubts and
fears one fact stood out so clearly that he could
not fail to recognize it. Not Violet alone, but
some other hidden personality, most earnestly
desired his absence from the fiat that night.
In word, Hupfeldt, who knew of the
photograph and the letter being hidden there,
had the strongest possible reason for seeking
an opportunity to make an absolutely I'M
hindered search of every remaining nook and
crevice. But how was Violets anxiety this
head to be explained Was she, too, wishful
to carry out scrutiny of pictures, cupboards,
and ornaments on her own account
Then with sort of intuition, David felt that
it was she who had already visited her sisters
latest abode at such uncanny hours of gloom
and mystery that her presence had given rise
to the ghost legend. And with the conscious
ness that this hot flush of shame
and remorse that he had SO viifed Violet in
his thoughts the night of his long run from
Chalfont 1t was she whom he had seen stand
ing at the end of the corridor the first night
of his ever memorable tenancy of this sorrow
laden abode, and, no doubt, her earlier efforts
at calculating the dim tragedy which cloaked
her sisters death had led to the eery expert
ences of Miss L'Estrange and Jenny
Well, thank goodness! he held nearly all the
threads of this dark business in his hands now,
and it would go hard with van Hupfeldt if he
crossed his path that night For David re-
solved with a smile which had in it mixture
of grimness and tenderness, that he would
obey the letter of Violets request while de-
cidedly dsobeying its spirit. She wished him
to be away from the fat between midnight

which was its house badge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old
time houses. The company survived
till 1917. I'm 1892 the first life insur-
ance company was fcinded in the
same city. II was called the Universal
Tontinc. The next year similar com
panies were started In Boston and in
New York. Its avowed aim was "for
the purpose OF raising fund upon lives
to be applied 10 charitable and other
uses Its subscription books were
opened ON March 90 and five general
agents were appointed
Some business was done during the
summer but in November OF that year
general meeting OF the subscribers
was called, and the idea of a general
insurance company was suggested and
met with approval The proposition
was referred so a committee, and at an
adjourned meeting held.at the state
house on Nov. II II was resolved that
''the Universal Tontine association be
