sumed too much alcohol the night be-
| fore.
Then one afternoon the club was
electrified. Tom Phinney had been
| staring unseeingly into the street for
some minutes. II struck him all at
once that the windows and the front
door across the way were no longer
boarded, and that all the windows
wore blinds; the red stone steps, how
ever, showed no indication of having
been recently cleaned.
q say. fellows" he abrutly sang out,
/ 'thirteen-thirteen's occupied"
There was a concerted movement
toward the clubs window; everybody
present left off whatever he happened
to be doing at the moment and stood
silently gaping at the gloomy front
Blinds close-drawn," somebody
presently remarked. wonder who it
can be-"
What was learned during the word
less, curious inspection was about all
the information respecting Number
1913 that was to be vouchsafed dur
ing the succeeding months. During
that time it was scarcely possible that
any person could have come or gone
within the eighteen hours that are the
liveliest Of the twenty-four, without
attracting somebody's attention at the
! Powhatan. For as the weeks passed,
and the shades remained down by
day, and the windows dark by night,
curiosity grew apace; the house be-
came more and more a fruitful topic of
speculation; and with its secret front
constantly staring one in the face, the
least sign of life or activity must have
been noted
Why should anybody want to main
tain such persistent, unnatural seclu-
sion?
Inquiry at the estates office build
ing was productive of no enlighten-
ment Considerable difficulty was ex-
| perienced in gaining access to the
manager; then he at once denied Num-
Der 1875 occupancy. Whereupon
Tom Phinney felt that the fowhatan's
committee was not being treated with
the Difference which it unquestionably
/ deserved.
See here he said, humping the
desk under the managers nose; your
COMPOUNDED house is situated right
across the street from the Powhatan
club"
For the first time the managers
eye contained CLEAN of interest. He
| interrupted
Isn't Mr.. Percy Bonner on your
house committee" he inquired
Yes. he Is" returned Tom. not re-
ceding in the least from his determined
stand. He waited moment, but as
the CLEAN died in the managers eye,
proceeded.
Our body is select, you must be
aware. and we are proud of the quiet
responsibility of our neighborhood.
There's enough influence in our mem
bership to run out anything OF q shady
nature-we won't stand for it, in
short"
The manager acknowledged the JUS
tice Of this ultimatum, but merely
said III you see or hear anything
wrong run EN- out; / don't care"
we have a right to know who our
neighbors are" insisted Tom.
Inquire of them said the mana
ger: Il can't tell you"
DO you mean to say you don't
know -incredulously.
Just that. The present tenant new
er applied to us at all-have never
seen him, in fact Occupancy of the
house was arranged in quite another
manner, Really, gentlemen, that is all
am at liberty to tell you"
And the Powhatan's committee was
bowed politely out.
1t was rot for nothing that the
house was called the House OF Mys-
terry.
