demented when they opened the door,

excitement, talking animatedly to the

II was on a crisp February morning
that the dreadful news ran from lip
to lip until the whole village OF Lynd-
hurst was aroused from its drowsy ex-
istence.
On the outskirts Of the village was
the Blatcher place. 1t had been the
show place Of the town. The house
stood well back from the street, with
handsome naples and elms surround
ing 1t. It had now long been vacant
and was falling to decay. No one ever
entered the grounds except boys, who
are proverbially fond Of deserted
places.
A murder had been committed. Boys
seeking to detach an enormous icicle
that hung from the roof Of the dilapi-
dated house had been horrihed to see
the body Of an old man sitting in an
upper room.
"And there amt nobody lived In the
house for twenty yearsw cried Simon
Dale. the postmaster, as he led curl

"Mebbe some tramp that's been
