once More at Burton,s Inn.


Again Sara Wrandall found herself
in that never-to-be-forgotten room at
Burton's inn. On that grim night in
March she had entered without fear
or trembling because she knew what
was there. Now she ouaked with a
mighty chill of terror, for she knew
not what was there in the quiet. now

them on their arrival after a long
drive across country that patrons of
the Inn invariably asked which room

the tragedy, and, on finding out. re-

transform 1t into a sort OF store and

Sara stood in the middle of the
murky room, for the shutters had long
been closed to the light of day. and
looked about her in awe at the hetero-
geneous mass Of boxes, trunks. hum
dies and rubbish, scattered over the
floor without care or system. She had
closed the door behind her and was
quite alone. Light sneaked in through
the cracks in the shutters, but so
meagerly that 1t only served to In
crease the gloom. A dismantled bed

She did not have to be told what bed
it was. The mattress was there too.

"And IL you should follow me

True to her word, she was gone
when he drove over later on In the
day. Somehow, he experienced q
queer feeling of relief. Not that he
was oppressed by the rather vivacious
opinions of Vivian and her ilk, but
because something told him that Sara
was wavefing In her determination to
withhold the secret from him and fed
for perfectly obvious reasons.
He had two commissions among the
rich summer coionists. One, a full
length portrait OF young Beardsley In
shooting toys. was nearly finished. The
other was to be a halflength of Mrs.
Rayenscroft. who wanted one Just like
Hetty Castleton's. except for the eyes,
which she admitted would have to be
different. Nothing was said OF the
seventeen years difference in their
ages. Vivian had put or posing until
Lent.
The Wrandalls departed for Scot
land, and other friends OF his began
to desert the country for the city. The
fortnight passed and another week
besides Mrs. Rayenscroft decided to
so to Europe when the picture was
half-6nished.

How annoying" she said calmly,
and that was the end of it all. She
had made the unpleasant discovery
that It wasn't going to be In the least
like Hetty Castieton's. 80 why bother
about it,
Booth waited until Sara came out

for the winter. He called at South
look on the day of her arrival. He
was struck at once by the curious
change in her appearance and manner.
There was something bleak and DESC

neIu as an tnducement to the m0rbidly
curious who always seek out the grue-
some and gloat even as they shudder.
For long time she stood immov-
able just inside the door. recalling
the horrid picture of another day. She
tried to imagine the scene that had
been enacted there with gentle. low
able Hetty Glynn and her whslom
husband as the principal characters.
The girl had told the whole story OF
that ugly night. Sara tried to see 1t
as It actually had transpired. For
months this present enterprise had
been In her mind: the desire to see
the place again. to go there with old
Impressions which she could leave be-
hind when ready to emerge in new
frame of mind. 1t was true that she
meant to shake OF the shackles OF q
horrid dream, to purge herself Of the
last vestige Of bitterness, to cleanse
her mind Of certain thoughts and mem
cries.
Downstairs Booth waited for her.
He heard the story of the tragedy from
the .nnkeeper. who GROSSLY maintained
that his business had been ruined.
Booth was vaguely impressed. he knew
not why, by Burton's description OF
the missing woman. I'D say she was
about the size of Mrs. Wrandall her
self, and much the same fgger," he
said. as he had said a thousand times
before. MY wife noticed 1t the min
ute she saw Mrs. Wrandall. Same
height and everything"
A bell rang sharply and Burton
glanced over his shoulder atfthe indi-
Gator on the wall behind the desk. He
gave great start and his jaw sagged.
Great Scottl" he gasped. A curl
Gus grayness stole over his face. ITS

pushed the button for Oh, geel
You're right She is up there. MY,

his brow. Turning to a boy, he COM
handed him to answer the bell. The
boy went slowly, and as he went he
removed his hands from his pockets.
He came back an instant later, more
swiftly than he went. with the word
that the lady up there" wanted Mr..
Booth to come upstairs.
She was waiting for him in the open
doorway. A shaft of bright sunlight
from window at the end OF the hall
fell upon her. Her face was colorless.
haggard. He paused for an instant to
contrast her as she stood there In the
pitiless light with the vivid creature
he had put upon canvas 60 recently.
She beckoned to him and turned
back into the room. He followed
This is the room. Brandon, where
my husband met the death he de-
served" she said quietly.
Deserved? Good heavens. Sara,
are you"
Il want you to look about you and
try to picture how this place looked
on the night Of the murder. You have
vivid imagination. None OF this
rubbish was here. Just bed, table
and two chairs. There was a carpet
on the floor. There were two people
here. man and woman. The wom-
an had trusted the man. She trusted
him until the hour In which he died.
Then she found him out. She had
come to this place, believing 1t was
