tree near the stone wall she heard voices,
two childish voices and another, which
was Peter Glovers.

ancient front porch. They Were hidden

That is the question" laughed RoG-

tribute
An hour later Cicely going to the viii
! lage in her little electric runabout be-
held a shirt-sleeved man standing at the
plate in that vacant lot. A barelegged
youth of some ten years was winding up
in the pitchers box. And the shirt
sleeved man was exhorting him:
"Aw, get 1t over once week, will Yer,
no? Gimme a square crack at 1t. Steady
down a little, old hess. l want to bang

The shirt-sleeved man at tho plate was
Peter Glover.
Cicely leaned out OF the runabout
An excellent beginning. Peter" she
said sweetly. and the car whirred on.
Peter shamfacedly put on his coat and
resumed his. homeward way.
She's right. l am just Kid. I can't
help it." he muttered.
But Peter took himself in hand. After
that he kept a wary eye on himself The
sound OF childish voices were as a red
danger signal to him. Whenever he heard
them he scurried through back streets
to avoid them. Moreover, he began to
show some signs of improvement. II he
told Cicely he would be at the house at

The story of noises had only of late
penetrated the village intellect
1t was the young minister himself who
first whispered to his good wife a tale
Of dull music having reached his ears
as he passed by the haunted house on
his way to the parish church. She in
turn spread the story, and more than
ever the place was given q wide berth
II was the two strangers who were
stopping at the quaint village Inn who
first expressed skepticism as to the ac-
tual existence OF the ghosts They
doubted most emphatically the nightly
appearance of the wraiths. but were far
too tactful to express their opinions
save to one another.
However, when the moon was high in
the heavens and the village had gone
to sleep. Calvin Blake and Jimmy Rog-
ers went out for a stroll They did not
want to disturb the peace of the scene
by getting out their great touring car
from the garage at the Inn. They went
out on foot.
They were not discussing ghosts nor
even romance and tradition when Jimmy
clutched Calvin's arm and turned white
under the beams of the midnight moon

the steps.
