 "lt takes good man to uncover a thing try to hide l said nothing t0 yoI. Miss HOllister, about the retention within the walls of this house of parts of an old one that formerly occupied the site for the reason that 1 thought you might refuse tO buy the estate The gentleman for whom built Hope field was expectations. as many men of advanced years are. as to the build ing Of a new house, and as the site he chose Is one of the finest in tue country he compelled me tU construct this house which is the most satisfactory l have buit-in such manner that enough of the old should be kept intact to soothe his superstitiOus soul with the idea that be had merely altered an old house. not built a new one As it is the architects business to yield tO such caprices, obeyed him strictly. so there are two rooms of nm old farm house hidden under the east wing, and ] it amused me once l had got into it to 1 preserve part of the old stairway and connect the retained chambers with the upper hal, of this house. ] had to patch the original stair, which was only one flight, with discarded lumber ] from the old house, but l datter myself l that l managed it neatly. ] even saved the old nails 10 avert the wrath of the l evil spirits When the umbrella and dyspepsia cure man died-for he did die. as you buOw-l believed the secret l had died with him. a- he was very sen sitive about his superstitions Most ol ] the lab1rers on that part of the job were brought from u long distance, and l supposed they never ready knew just what we were doing might have known though that if a fellow as clev CT as Ames got Co pecbing at the house the trick would be discovered But tho chimney. old man-what on earth was the matter with itT
 "lt win never happen again, and promised the ghost never to tell how it was done"
 "You were quite right in doing that Arnold. a ghosts secrets should bC sncred but let ms now proceed to tho hidden chombers' said Miss Hollister rising without further ado
