The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-09-10

But with the presence of the
bunch" of servants my courage re-
vived, and late in the afternoon came
a message from Gertrude that she and
Halsey would arrive that night at
about IL O'Clock, coming in the car
from Richfeld. Things were looking
| up; and when Beulah, my cat, most
intelligent animal, found some early
catnip on bank near the house and
rolled in 1t in feline ecstasy, l de-
cided that getting back to nature was
the thing to do.
While I was dressing for dinner,
Liddy raped at the door. She was
hardly herself yet, but privately l
think she was worrying about the bro
ken mirror and its augury, more than
anything else. When she came in she
was holding something in her hand,
and she laid 1t on the dressing table
lscarefully.
| 81 found it in the linen hamper"
she said. 1T must be Mr.. Halseys,
Ibut it seems queer how it got there"
1t was the half of link cuff but
ton of unique design, and l looked at
| 1t carefully.
where was It? In the bottom of
the hamper?" / asked.
ION the very top" she replied. ITS
a mercy it didn't fall out on the way"
When Liddy had gene l examined
the fragment attentively. l had never
seen 1t before, and / was certain 1t
was not Halsey's.s 1t was of Italian
workmanship, and consisted of a
mother-of-pearl foundation, encrusted
with tiny seed-pearls, strung on
| horsehair to hold them. In the cen.
ter was a small ruby. The trinket
YVES odd enough, but not intrinsically
of great value. It's interest for me
lay in this: Liddy had found it lying
| IN the top of the hamper which had
| blocked the east-wing stairs.
That afternoon the Armstrong;
housekeeper, youngish good-lookine
woman, applied for Mrs. Ralston's
place, and was glad enough to take
her. She looked as though she might
be equal to a dozen of Liddy, with hel
swapping black eyes and heavy jaw
Her name was Anne Watson, and
dined that evening for the first time
in three days.

tried the small entry door there,
which opened on the veranda, and ex-
amined the windows. Everything was
secure, and Liddy, little less ner.
vous now, had just pointed out to me
the disgraceful dusty condition of the
hardwood floor, when suddenly the
lights went out. We waited a mo.
ment; think Liddy was stunned with
fright or she would have screamed.
And then clutched her by the arm
and pointed to one of the windows
opening on the porch. The sudden
change threw the window into relief,
an oblong of grayish light, and showed
us figure standing close, peering in.
As l looked it darted across the yer.

Liddy's knees seemed to give cway
under her. Without sound she sank
down, leaving me staring at the win
dow in petri1ed amazement. Liddy
began to moan under her breath, and
in my excitement reached down and
shook her.

you here. I'm going"
She moved at that, and, holding to
my sleeve, we felt our way, with nu.
merous collisions, to the billiard-room,
and from there to the drawing-room.
The lights came on then, and, with
the long French windows unshuttered,
| had creepy feeling that each one
sheltered a peering face. In fact, in
the light of what happened afterward,
I am pretty certain we were under
surveillance during the entire ghostly
evening. We hurried over the rest OF
the locking-up and got upstairs as
quickly as we could. left the lights
all on, and our footsteps echoed ca.
vernously. Liddy had a stiff neck the
next morning, from looking back over
her shoulder, and she refused to &C
to bed.
Let me stay in your dressing room
Miss Rachel" she begged. IF you
don't I'll sit in the hall outside the
door. I'm not going to be murdered
with my eyes shut"
1t was II o'clock when finally pre-
pared for bed. In spite of my assump
ton Of indifference, locked the dool
into the hall, and finding the tran

tiously before the door-it was no,
necessary to rouse Liddy-and climb

any movement Of the frame would
send 1t crashing down. Then, secure
in my precautions l went to bed.

der the bed. She was afraid to speak,
however, because of her previous
snubbing, and went back, stopping in
the doorway to sigh dismally.
Somewhere downstairs clock
with chime sang away the hours
eleven-thirty, forty-fve, twelve. And
then the lights went out to stay. The
Casanova Electric Company shuts up
shop and goes home to bed at mid
night: when one has party, l be-
lieve 1t is customary to fee the COM
pany, which will drink hot coffee and
keep awake couple of hours longer.
But the lights were gone for good
that night. Liddy had gone to sleep,

were above the big living room on
the first floor. On the second floor a
long corridor ran the length of the
house, with rooms opening from both
sides. In the wings were small cor
ridors crossing the main one-the
plan was simplicity itself. And just
as | got back into bed, heard a
sound from the east wing, apparently
that made me stop, frozen, with one
bedroom slipper half off, and listen. II
