The evening world., 1914-10-26

An. 50 ! did," "a! Sir Anthony.
$50 did" Hc chuckled a. II At some
obscure Joke. known only to him
alone.
II was dusk In tho corridor and
Lsloir could not see his masters face
dintinctly. or the expression on 1t.
but he heard the chuckle. He had
been In Gyde's service for two years.
and ne thought that he knew every
and character. but this chuckle
alarmed him more than tho widest
outbreak Of rage would have done.
There was something inhuman In
II. something horrible. 1t did not
seem the sound produced by IL mans
voice. a great ape might have uttered
II or q devil.
Leloir was turning to 20. In fact
he had made half q dozen steps.
when Gyde's voice said:
stop"
SIR" replied the valet.
You have all my jswsls?"
Yes, sir. they are In this bag"
Right. Order tho car to the door,"
dliA they arrived at Carlisle station.
Tell me when tho train arrives"
said Clyde through the speaking tube
to his valet. II am busy and don't
want to be disturbed"
He sat reading over some papers
he had taken from his pocket. while
Lsioir busied himself. seeing that
what lu6gage they had with them
was prepared for the train.
When II arrived Sir Anthony, Ieav-
ing tho motor. walked hurricdly down
the platform to the special saloon
carriage that had been attached for
him, took his seat ana ordered his
man to let nobody disturb him.
II was dusk when the great two
engtned express drew out OF Carlisle
station and took its way to London.
Twice during the journey to Lon
don Leloir entered the compartment
where Sir Anthony was. once bringing
him tea, and again. Just after leaving
Normanton. bringing him the evening
papers.
One OF the dining car attendAnts.
who was q friend OF I,eloir's. after.
ward dsposed that there was some-
thing very strange about tho mans
manner.
HE looked startled ana white" ran
his deposition. looked like a man who
had seen a ghost I've known him q
year, met him first on the run to Car
pointment and we went to a music hall
together. He was always good com
psnion and spent his money freely.
but when he came into the car
kitchen for his masters tea he had
no sense in him. l asked him how
his master was: ne took me by the
buttonhole and he says: Parsons. do
you believe In the supernatural
NO l says. ! don't What makes
you ask me7
Because he says. and then hs
stopped. for the head attendant was
calling 70 me.
I'D give a dollar" concluded Mr..
Parsons. ITO know what he did mean,
and ia bet a dollar It was something
queer"
Al ct. Pancras two broushams
were waiting; Clyde got into the first
Leloir got on tho box. and they drove
on; the secretary and tho despatch
boxes followed 10 the second
brou9ham.
II was half past eleven when they
arrived at LOB Piccadilly.
Sir Anthony went TO his own room
followed by mis- valet; the secretary
went to HIS own room and to bel, ~

Now. Mr.. Folgam's apartment
were on tho same floor as Sir An.
thongs bedr Dom, and he was lylnS
in bed reading The Count Of Monte
Cristo." when, very shortly after
midnight. he heard . cry.
II was exactly like the howl OF 4
dog. II wAs not like the sound q
human being would emit, he after
ward dsposed: aud In this Mr.. Fol
