''Eh? Oh, dare say don't know.

Kirkwood, lend me an arm
Charmed Kirkwood declared
suavely Eff you'll take the candle,
Mrs. Hallam-"
He helped the boy to his feet, and,
while the latter hung upon him and
complained enormously, stood waiting
for the woman to lead the way with
the light; something which, however,
she seemed in no haste to do. The
pause at length puzzled KirkWood,
and he turned to find Mrs. Hallan
holding the candlestick and regarding
him steadily, with much the same ex-
preston of furtive mistrust as that
with which she had favored him on
her own doorstoop
"One moment" she interposed in
confusion; II won't keep you waiting
:" and, passing with an
averted face, ran quickly upstairs TO
the second floor, taking the light with
her. Its glow faded from the walls
above and kirkwood surmised that
she had entered the front bed-cham-
Der. For some moments he could
hear her moving about; once, some
thing scraped and bumped on the
floor, as If heavy bit of furniture
had been moved again there was re-
sounding thud that defied speculation !;
and this was presently followed by a
dull clang of metal.
