looks like an air-shaft. This door is

patio. We have found a bolt and put
II on this entrance, but there wasn't
any before; nor did any one in the
house know Of the secret passage"
The colonel went on to say that on
questioning the architect he ayerred
that he had never mentioned the
secret passage to his knowledge-ex-
cept that very recently, only few
days before, at a dinner, he had barely
alluded to It; and one of the gentle
men present, an easterner, had asked
him where he got man to make such
a contrivance-it must take skill. He
had mentioned the name Of the work
man. The colonel had hunted up the
artisan mentioned, only TO find that
he had left town to take job some
where; no one seemed to know where.
OF course he had inquired of every
body. The name of the fastener was
Atkins.

They had lived; but never had his

their presence was as real to him as

could hear and touch and see. II did
not take Winters imagination long to
piece out the explanation OF these ap-
