The Girl in Gray.

The Girl in Gray.
My first thought was to find the
crypt door and return through the tun-
mel before Bates could reach the
house. The chapel was open, and by
lighting matches | found my way to
the map and panel | slipped through
and closed the opening; then ran
through the passage with gratitude to
the generous builder who had given il
a clear floor and an ample roof. In
my haste l miscalculated it's length,
pitching headlong into the steps un-
der the trap beneath Glenarm House
at gait that sent me sprawling. In
a moment more had damned the trap
into place and was running up the eel
lar steps, GREATNESS, with my cap
smashed down over my eyes.
/ heard Bates entering at the rear
and knew that I had won the race
by scratch. There was but a mo-
ment in which to throw my coat and
cap under the divan in the library
slap the dust from my clothes and
seat my self at the great table where
the candles blazed TRANQUILITY.
Bates step was as steady as ever
