my duty to Miss Carney, as well as
my own personal inclinations in the

WINGED that Miss Weston's share in
the affair was entirely unexpected by
her and due to no wilful act OF her

As said these words thanked my
lucky stars that l had taken the pre-
caution to keep Miss Carney in ig-

the odor of the rags that we found in

mystery of Carney-Croft seemed to be
growing deeper and deeper, and yet /
felt 1t my duty to my hostess to make
az light of the matter as possible, es-
pecially in the presence of her other
guests.
After breakfast Miss Carney and I
walked down toward the river to-

widow.
"This is where you saw the ghosts,

little nervous shudder.

loins, trouble which had caused him
considerable suffering, and especially
at such times when he lifted anything
