boat drew out into the river silence
fell upon us,--the silence that is pos
sible only between old friends. AS l
looked back at the lights Of the city,
something beyond the sorrow at part

sense of foreboding, of coming danger,
upon the tamest possible excursion;

Annandale derives its chief impor.

lines intersect there. The Chicago ex-,

from the open door of the station; a.

into the windows of the cars; the vii

my lungs. 1t was still, starry Octo-

Of weeks, lodging the detectives, and
incidentally reading the newspapers.
Perhaps you don't understand that
this estate of John Marshall Glenarm
has been talked about a good bit"
Il didn't know It." l said lamely.
"You couldn't know, when you were
coming from the Mediterranean on a
steamer. But the house out there and
the mysterious disappearance of the
property have been duly discussed.
You're evidently an object of some
public interest, and he drew from
his pocket a newspaper cutting.
Here's a sample item" He read:
John Glenarm, the grandson of
John Marshall Glenarm, the eccentric
millionaire who died suddenly in Yer
mont last summer, arrived on the
Maxinkuckee from Naples yesterday.
Under the terms of his grandfather's
will. Glenarm is required to reside for
a year at curious house established
by John Marshall Glenarm near Lake
Annandale, Indiana.
| This provision was made, accord
ing to friends of the family, to test
young Glenarm's staying qualities, as
he has, since his graduation from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
five years ago. distributed a consider
able fortune left by his father in con-

street of the village. There was more
of Annandale than had imagined, and
several tall smokestacks doomed here
and there in the thin starlight.
"Brickyards, sir" said Bates, way
ing his hand at the stacks. TITS a
considerable center for that kind OF
business"
Bricks without straw" / asked, as
we passed radiant saloon that blazed
upon the board walk.
BEG pardon, sir, but such places are
the ruin of men, ON which remark
based a mental note that Bates wished
to impress me with his own rectitude.
He swung beside me, answering
questions with logged brevity. Clear.
ly, here was man who had reduced
human intercourse to basis of neces.
slty. I was to be shut up with him for
year, and he was not likely to prove
a cheerful jailer. My feet struck upon
graveled highway at the end of the
village street, and l heard suddenly
the tapping of water.
ITS the lake, sir. This road leads
right out to the house." Bates ex-
planned
l was doomed to mediate pretty
steadily, imagined, on the beauty of
the landscape in these parts, and /
was rejoiced to know that it was not
all cherries prairie or gloomy wood
land. The wind freshened and blew
sharply upon us off the water.
THE fishing's quite good In season.
Mr.. Glenarm used to take great
pleasure in 1t. Bass,-yes, sir. Mr..
Glenarm held there was nothing quite
equal to black bass"
/ liked the way the fellow spoke Of
my grandfather. He was evidently a
loyal retainer. No doubt he could
summon from the past many pictures
