CHAPTER III.-(Continued.)

"Is anyone down there?" called
There was no reply but the echo of
my own voice as 1t rang down the shaft.
The silence troubled me; the hollow ring
of my voice scared me. l looked about
and found candle and box of matches
on the shelf. christening the rope,
lowered the bucket to the level of the c'r-
cular well, set the candle inside, and lit
1t; then letting the cord slip slowly
through my hands, l watched the descent
of the light. 1t grew tainted and fainter,
until at length it failed to show the SIR
rounding patchwork, and l saw nothing
but faint halo round the speck Of ign.
The well seemed to be interminably deep.
AS the knot that finished the ropes end
came into my hand the bucket reached the
bottom, and the handle struck the Size
with a clatter that rung up to my ear
about two seconds after.
If body had been lying at the bottom
the bucket must almost of necessity nave
struck it, and not the bottom, as it did.
If a man had been standing upright some
CLEAN of reflected light must have 6is-
covered him. | saw absolutely nothing,
but the steady speck of light and its
halo. l drew the bucket up and dropped
It twice or thrice, and called again with
out any result. Could my grandfather
have been delirious when he sent me On
this wild goose chase? | asked myself, as
: slowly drew up the bucket to the top.
Rejecting that / had not yet carried
out his instructions, l determined TO
make one last experiment. | took mt
the candle and charged the bucket with
the eatables named by my grandfather,
lowered them down, and wbistled as if
calling q dog. 1t seemed to me as list-
ened while counting fifty that l heard
a movement below, and | counted an ad
dtiOnal twenty to give the thing a fair
trial. When l drew up again, to my
intense establishment, l found that he
food had been taken out, and an empty
pitcher put into the bucket. My grand
father had forgotten to mention drink,
and the creature below had sent up the
pitcher as a reminder. Clearly whatever
the thing was it had hands.
/ filled the pitcher from a tub of clear
water that stood in one corner of the
washhouse, and sent it down, completely
bewildered by the mystery. When 1t
toushed the bottom l whistled again and
listened.
Then from below there came up the
queerest elfsh and most plaintive sounds
I ever heard. 1t was like nothing more
than the swelling rise and fading fail Of
an Aeolian harp.

CHAPTER ".

What was to be done? When l again
lowered a light the sound ceased, and
nothing was visible. An athlete coIld
have slipped down the bucket rope aud
possibly have come up again hand over
hand. But that was beyond my power,
even if / had found courage to make the
attempt and face the unknown. Certain
ly must go down there and End out the
secret of the villainous old smuggler, my
great grandfather. l felt sure that my
grandfather, always under the domina-
ton of his father, was playing but an
accessory part in this dramatic business,
and l saw the necessity for acting with
caution to accomplish an inyestiga ton
successfully.
l closed the well, left the bucket hang
Ing as l had found it, and quilted me
cottage. 1t had struck me in taking a
last glance at the washhouse that it was q
queer place for we'll to be sunk, for
the house stood within hundred yards Of
the cliffs edge. To be sure great mass
of the cliff had fallen away, and at one
time it might have tapped reservoir for
O stream percolating through the chalk.
But now accounted for its existence
there by more satisfactory conclusion.
1t was the secret way that was said to
have been used for communicating with
the caves on the shore. 1t was quite
possible that, invisible from the top, an
outlet at the bottom led laterally into the
choked caverns. That hypothesis ac-
counted for my seeing no one at the bot
tom of the shaft when / let down the
light.
said nothing about the pitcher, OF
the strange sounds, or my suspicious, to

respect to the bear.
