encounter an army of specters. After
some difficulty succeeded in getting
him to rise, and, with his arms snugly
bound behind his back. he shambled
with trembling legs down under the
trees where we were Joined in anoth-
or moment by MacArdel and Mrs.
Bruce.
The two guilty ones did not look at
each other, but stood in sullen def.
ance waiting for what might come
next. MacArdel placed them side by
side, and, as We faced them, he be-
gan:
You two have been circulating
ghost stories about this place all over
the country. You've even been here

sheets and trying to scare people out
of their wits and injure this property.
You were here last night and when

and wounded your hand. You dropped
the sheets and lot Of other things
and then you came back and got them
all after we had gone to bed. You
can't deny 1t, jerks, for we found
them in your wagon this morning,
while you were asleep. Now, there
more than this" continued MacArdel.

some way of getting in and playing
your tricks"
He stopped speaking and eyed them
closely for a moment before going on.
Then he resumed, slowly and impress.
sively:
But there's something even worse
than all this to be explained, and we
are going to find out about the whole
matter if we have to keep you here all
night. Several of the pieces of cloth In
that bundle have been used for some
thing else than making ghost clothes.
You know what they've been used for
and"
"Oh, my God, help mel" screamed
jerks, and before could reach him,
he reeled and fell forward on his face.

Half leading and half carrying the
unfortunate jerks and followed by
Mrs. Bruce who walked as one in a
dream. we returned to the house.
Once on the veranda, MacArdel I'M
bound the fellows arms and, noticing
bloodstains on his face and shirt front,
examined him closely to see IL he had
sustained any severe injury in his
helpless fall. Nothing more serious
than badly cut lip was discovered.
and we took the pair into the library,
where light was burning dimly.
Turning up the lamp SO that he could
see distinctly, MacArdel sent me for

piled, he again fell forward in q

Ardel. There's whisky in my bag,
you know
jerks coughed and sputtered over
the stuff In a manner nOwise compile
mentary to the quality Of liquor affect
ed by MacArdel, and then, bursting
into a cold perspiration, he began to
tremble violently and beg piteously to
be allowed to go home; while Mrs.

served the silence that she had main

of falling to the floor and as did
not remember having seen it before, I
opened it and read with interest and

If you persuade Miss Carney to re-.
main away from Carney-Croft and
leave the house closed as in the past,
the ghosts will make no further ap-
pearance, and neither jerks nor Mrs.
Bruce will disclose the affairs of to-
night. Otherwise BEWARE!"
l handed it without comment to
MacArdel who read it attentively and
then exclaimed in triumph:
What did tell you, Ware? It's
just as l said. The widow knew what
to expect when l locked her in the
house and she wrote this note so al
to have 1t ready in case she needed
1t. Then she watched her opportu-

A moment later he muttered as If to
himself: We'll get the story out
Of her, though, or III miss my guess"
beyond which sage remark he became
absolutely uncommunicative on the
entire subject.
We kept our word about returning
to the place before evening, and, after
lunching at Hoskins' and taking row
on the river in the afternoon, we ar.
rived at the house little after five
to await the appearance of Mrs
Bruce. MacArdel had been far from
talkative for some time, when sudden
ly he said:
Ware, go back to the village right
away! Send two or three meaningless
kilograms to your Office within an hour
or so. Tell it around that unless you
receive a reply before ten o'clock we
will both have to return to town on
the midnight train. III stay here and
attend to the widow when she
comes"

tenacity wonderful to believe.
A sharp knock at the cottage door
was answered by q pleasant.faced,
motherly appearing woman Of about
As, who spoke with marked English
accent. MacArdel took the initiative
and introduced us without delay.
"This is Mr.. Ware" he said, 1.-The ut.
torney of the Carney estate, and I am
his friend, DR.. MacArdel."
The widow bobbed up and down like
q duck In a puddle and invited us into
the house with great show of cere-
mony.
mo, thank you," said MacArdel.
1--WE won't come in. We've Just been
taking a morning stroll over the hills
and we stopped to ask II you could do
some washing for us. You know we've
been stopping over at the house for 4
couple Of days and the sheets and
things are SO musty that We thought
we had better have some Of them
washed and aired out. We can get
along tonight again, but If you could
get some Of the things back to US to-
morrow we wish you would"
Mrs. Bruce was quite willing to do
US this favor, and MacArdel told her
to call for the things at six that
evening. explaining that we would
not return to the house until that
hour.
AS we left the cottage and wan.
dered on down the hill, MacArdel
said:

MacArdel slowly. whoever was

mistake about it. Ware, those pieces

for you"
Hoskins was standing by the door
as we left the room and l asked him
where we could find the stage driver,
but his reply was far from encourag-
ing.
"Ye can't find him at ALL he said.
"He didn't git in till nigh mornin', an

they're all workin' to-day, an can't

We decided that we were quite
equal to this task, and, proceeding to
the stable, undertook to hitch up" on
our own account
MacArdel did the driving, and sat
on the seat behind him in all the glory
of an escorted guest. AS we turned
the corner into the road that led to
the station, sudden gust Of wind
waited into my face the same indie
scribable odor that had offended my
nostrils the night before and l called
him to stop.
"Mac!" said, there's something
wrong here! can get that COMPOUNDED
smell again!" +s..
He pulled up his horse with a jerk
and, springing to the ground, began,
with me, to peer under the seats of
the vehicle. A moment later he ex-
tracted from pile of blankets and
laprobes, a bundle of white cloths
similar in appearance to those we had
discovered on the previous night, and
exhaling the same odor.

denly, land cover them up again, too!

Did you ever see him and talk to

"Oh, yes!" I said "He was the first
to tell me about the ghosts At Carney
Croft; all that story of the Bruce
woman's prophecy that the place
would be haunted, you know"
"Humph!" said MacArdel, thought
fully. "And where's the Bruce woman

Ibid as was told, and shortly after
ten o'clock, jerks and I drove up to
the house and found MacArdel wait

"1'm doctor, you know" and he
reached for the injured member and
grasped it firmly at the wrist. An in
slant later jerks went spinning
through the air with MacArdel astride
of his chest, holding him firmly to the
ground.

his breath. There's bit of rope there
