your opinion of this, Your Excellency?
Do you take any stock in ghosts?"
The Duke turned slowly in his seat
so that ne was directly facing the young
man. and regarded him with a grave,
direct glance

there are such things"
Jarvis was genuinely astonished and
made no effort to conceal it.
"You believe that the castle is haunt

~ know IT," was the firm and amaz-
Ing response.
"You think this ghost is dangerous TO
encounter-that II is the cause OF the
deaths and dlsapearances in the castle ?"
Exactly"
Jarvis whistled softly and was silent
| for a moment Then quick suspicion
flashed across his mind. and he was
once more calm, good humored and self
! possessed.
/ Ghost" he murmured. That's a
/ pretty broad term, Your Excellency.
| Can you tell me just what you believe
/ this ghost is?"
The Duke placed the tips Of his FIN
/ gers together and leaned back with the
air Of a savant
"There are occult forces in this world.
/ Mr.. Warren, that science can not faith
ON, and some of them are manifestlng
/ themselves in that castle now. A priest
/ might call II demon or a fiend-a psy-
chologlst. a returned spirit. can't say"
/ He shrugged his shoulders lightly. but
| know there is something real-a malig-
nant force which turks in that castle
and, while II haunts those halls, II Is
madness for any man to expose himself
there"

A former vicar of a country parish
not far from Sheffield was a gentle

of the parishioners, and the talk
turned to the vicar.
