some hints she may appropriate. Dishes

CHAPTER VII.

We entered the forest. On every hand
stood the pines, stretching away In long.
melancholy avenues foored with drifted
snow. The laden branches bowed before
us, now and again, at the whirl of pass
ing gust, finging their burdens from
them. Once a willow grouse, white as
the snow beneath 1t, swept on steady
wing through the trees. Once from the
far, far distance, borne upon the eastern
breeze, there came a cry, weird, hope
less echo In the air, that set the horses
snorting. l knew what 1t must be-a
wolf who felt the first pangs Of the win
ter's hunger gathering round him. But
there was no sign Of man nor marks Of
sleigh tracks on the newly fallen snow.
We did not travel fast, though our
driver did his best. The snow had not
hardened and settled into that enchant-
Ing surface on which the runners speed
so swiftly. Midday was past before we
saw, through sudden gap In the forest,
a rising mound crowned with a low. grey
building. Castle Osterv cried our driv-
er, turning In his seat to claim our at
tention. In ten minutes more we had
halted at a gate set In a high stone wall.
Before we were clear Of the rugs the
uIlNtI udu NllHntl AlNul MS perch and
tugged at rusty iron bell-pun. We
waited without an answer. Again he
rang: but Graden did not wait the result.
The door was not bolted; It opened to
his vigorous arm, and we followed him
Into the broad courtyard Of the castle.
Before us sprawled the main building
fanked by little towers, like the pepper
box turrets of an old Scotch mansion.
The windows were shattered; the chin
neys were smokeless save for one above
the central porch, from which a dark
plume rose and trailed away to the west
ward-the solitary sign Of habitation. To
our right and left were ranged outbuild-
ings, stables, coach-houses, and the like;
but all In a condition Of ruinous decay.
Patches fallen from the roofs laid bare
the rafters; from the broken cutters
truIled long pendants Of ice. Against
the old doors the snow had piled itself In
heavy drifts. No sound broke the brood
Ing stiffness. 1t was a picture distress
ingly forlorn.
Has Professor Mechersky, then, no
ssrvantsT asked Graden Of our driver
l noticed that he hushed his voice In
speaking; he, too, felt the uncanny In
fusnce of the place.

From somewhere within the house
there came shrek, a cry Of supreme
terror Again and yet again il was re-
peated before 1t shrank away into 81
lence. Graden ran across the court to
the main door. and | was hard upon his

Henry Tract, n diver, was at work
ON the bottom of the Harlem River this
morning when subsurrace wave near

The cause of this sensation was right
at hand and very obvious, even through

One keel had come down fast and hard
below that level and Tract saw through
the glass window of his steel mask the
hull of big boat settling In the mud
right beside him and not more than his
own length away.
Tract didn't wait to hail the tug. He

Proposition to Establish n Court
