house. Unexpectedly to himself the
Judges intentions we're in the direc-
ton of his own wishes. He was led
front; and, entering an old-fashioned
hall dimly lighted, passed a staircase
and two closed doors, both of which
gave him the impression of having
been shut upon past it had pleasured
no one to revive in many years.
Beyond them was the great front
door of colonial style and workman
ship, a fine specimen once, but greatly
disfgured now by the bolts and bars
which had been added to it in salts
faction of the judges ideas of security.
Many years had passed since Judge
Ostrander had played the host; but he
had not lost a sense of its obligations.
1t was for him to shoot the bolts and
lift the bars; but he went about it SO
clumsily and with such evident aver
sion to the task that the sergeant in
stinctively sprang to help him.
Il shall miss Bella at every turn"
remarked the judge, turning with sad
smile as he finally pulled the door
open. This is an unaccustomed effort
for me. Excuse my awkwardness."
Something in his attitude, something
in the way he lifted his hand to push
back fallen lock from his forehead,
impressed itself upon the sergeant's
mind so wildly that he always re-
membered the judge as he appeared
to him at that minute. Certainly
there were but few men like him in
the country, and none In his own
town. OF a commanding personality
by reason of his height, his features
were of a cast to express his mental
attributes and enforce attention, and
the incongruity between his dominat-
ing figure and the apprehensions which
he displayed in these multiplied and
extraordinary arrangements for per-
sonal security was forttble enough. to
arouse any mans interest.
The sergeant was so occupied by the
mystery of the man and the mystery
of the house that they had passed the
first gate (Which the judge had un-
locked without much difficulty before
he realized that there still remained
something of interest for him to see
and to talk about later. The two dark
openings on either side, raised ques-
tons which the most unimaginative
mind would feel glad to hear explained.
Ere the second gate swung open and
he found himself again in the street
he had built up more than one theory
in explanation of this freak of parallel
fences with the strip of gloom between.
He would have felt the suggestion of
the spot still more deeply had 1t been
given him to see the anxious and hes
itating figure which, Immediately upon
his departure entered this dark maze,
and with feeling hands and cautious
step wound As way from corner to
corner - now stopping abruptly to
listen, now shrinking from some imag-
mary presence shadow among
shadows-till it stood again between
the gates from which 1t had started.

which sent 1t south and east again
toward the lower town. A high bluff
rose at this point, which made the far
| Their side of the ravine much more i'm
| posing than the one on the near side,
| where the slope was gradual.
This path, and even the bridge itself,
were almost wholly unlighted. They
were seldom used at night-seldom
used at any time. But 1t was by this
| route the Judge elected to go into
town; not for the pleasure of the walk,
as was very apparent from the ex-
IRENE depression Of his manner, but
from some inward necessity which
drove him on, against his wishes, pos.
sibly against his secret misgivings.
He had met no one in his short walk
down the lane, but for air that he
paused before entering the path just
mentioned, to glance back and see If
he were being watched or followed.
When satisfied that he was not he
looked up from the solitary waste
where he stood, to the cherries heav-
ems and sighed; then forward into the
mass of impenetrable shadow that he
must yet traverse and shuddered as
many another had shuddered ere be-
ginning this walk. For it was near the
end of this path, in full sight Of the
bridge he must cross, that his friend,
Algernon Etheridge, had been set upon
and murdered so many years before;
and the shadow of this ancient crime
still fingered over the spot.
Determined not to stop or to cast
one faltering look to right or left, he
hurried on with his eyes fixed upon
the ground and every nerve braced to
resist the influence of the place and
it's undying memories. But with the
striking of his foot against the boards
of the bridge nature was too much
for him, and his resolve vanished. In
stead of fastening on he stopped, and,
having stopped, paused long enough to
take In all the features of the scene
and any changes which time might
have wrought. He even forced his
shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon
the exact spot where his beloved AL
gernon had been found, with his sight
less eyes turned to the sky.
This latter place, singular in that it
lay open to the opposite bank without
the mask of bush or tree to hide it,
was in immediate proximity to the end
of the bridge he had attempted to
cross. 1t bore the name Of Dark Hol-
low, and hollow and dark it looked in
the universal gloom. But the power of
it's associations was upon him, and be-
fore he knew it he was retracing his
steps as though drawn by magnet
ism he could not resist, till he stood
within this hollow and possibly on the
very foot of ground from the mere
memory of which he had recoiled for
years.
A moment of contemplation sigh,
such as only escapes the bursting heart
in moments of extreme grief or desola-
! hou-and he tore his eyes from the

1t was picturesque addition to the
town through which it cut at the point
Of greatest activity. With the various
bridges connecting the residence por-
ton with the lower business streets
we have nothing to- do. But there was
a nearer one. of which the demands of
this story necessitate clear presenta-
ton.
This bridge was called Long, and
spanned the ravine and it's shallow
stream of water not a quarter of a
mile below the short road or lane we
have just seen Judge Ostrander enter.
Between it and this lane, narrow path
ran amid the trees and bushes Dor
dering the ravine. This path was sell
dom used, but when it was it acted as
short cut to certain part of the
town mostly given over to factories.
Indeed the road of which this bridge
formed part was called Factory on
this account. Starting from the main
highway a half-mile or so below Os-
trander lane, it ran diagonally back
to the bridge, where it received turn

CHAPTER III.
Across the BRIDGE,


It was ten o'clock, not later, when
the Judge re-entered his front door, He
| was alone-absolutely alone, as he had
never been since that night OF long
ago, when with the inner fence COM
| pleted and the gates all locked, he
turned to the great negro at his side
and quietly said:
I'VE are done with the world, Bella.
Are you satisfied to share this solitude
| with me?" And Bella had replied:
Might and day, your honor. And
when you are not here-when you are
| at court. to bear 1t alone'
And now this faithful friend was
dead, and 1t was he who must bear it
alone-alone! How could he face it!
He sought for no answer, nor did he
allow himself to dwell for one minute
on the thought. There was something
else he must do first-do this very
night, if possible.
Taking down his hat from the rack,
he turned and went out again, this
time carefully locking the door behind
him, also the first gate. But he
stopped to listen before lifting his
hand to the second one.
A sound of steady breathing, accom-
panied by few impatient movements,
came from the other side. A man was
posted there within foot of the gate.
Noiselessly the judge recoiled and
made his way around to the other set
Of gates. Here all was quiet enough,
and, sliding quickly out, he cast a
hasty glance up and down the lane,
and, seeing nothing more alarming
than the back of second officer loung-
ing at the corner, pulled the gate
quietly to and locked 1t.
He was well down the road toward
the ravine before the officer turned.
The time has now come for giving
you a clearer idea of this especial
neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's
house, situated at the juncture of an
unimportant road with the main high
way, had in it's rear three small
houses, two of them let and one still
unrented. Farther on, but on the op-
posite side Of the way, stood very
old dwelling, in which there lived and
presumably worked a solitary woman,
the sole and final survivor OF large
family. Beyond was the ravine, cut
ting across the road and terminating
1t. This Eavine merits some descrip-
