peared TO be dead The light OF the
moon gave a CHASTITY hue 70 his fea-
lures. and he was stif and stark.

kerchiefs around their shoulders and
across their bosoms. Billings stood loot.
ing on the scene in wonder and horror
We must remove the body before
day." said the girl.
why sop asked Billings, scarcelv
knowing what he said.
He was killed He who killed him
was a near relative He has fed. but
should the tragedy be discovered he
would be pursued. and IL captured We
should have 10 endure smother death
Feeling that we must have a man IN
help us and seeing you from the win
dow about to pass the house, stepped
down and called you You viii not he

Certainly not But
"Oh. don't say that you win not
help us. We are two women with no
man TO rely Oh You and eaa carry
the body TO a secret closet We can
put it in there for the present, and il
can be removed later
Billings brain was in a whfrl The
girl went to the bed. drew away the
woman kneeiing beside it and, taking
the lower part OF the body, motioned
to Billings TO take the heavier part
Then the two carried IL 10 an adjoining
wainscoted room The girl touched

revealing an empty space. They threw
the body In, closed the panel and left
The next thing Billings remembered
was standing without the door Of the
house. hanging on to an iron railing
He seemed to have awakened from
dream he staggered into the street
and looked up at the house. II was
dark and silent. Then he ran as n to
leave his frightful experience behind
him. On reaching his hotel he went
TO his room and threw himself on the
bed. In the morning he awakened,
feeling as If all his strength had oozed
out during the night.
During that day he made inquiries
about the house he had visited and
was told that II was called the Berwick
house, from the family that had lived
in It a century or more before. II
had been empty for years.
Billings related his experience 10 sew
ersl persons and persuaded them to
go to the house with him and force an
opening TO the closet where he had
helped deposit the body They did so
and found the skeleton Of q man.
What the tragedy had been no one
knew. nor had any one ever heard
Evidently Il had been concealed. There
was. however. a tradition Of one Of
the Berwick family who had mysteI
ously disappeared.

Billings was q commercial traveller.
Troubled with insomnia, he would Of
ten get out OF bed in the middle OF the
night and walk the streets. One night
he was walking thus in a quaint old
town In New England. There were
houses in the place fully 200 years
old. Billings was an educated man
and appreciated the antiquity about
him He fsncied one house to be the
old tavern and that the bar was still
there concealed by a curtain An
other house must have been that of
nabob. for the front door was elaeo-
rately made.
Billings wandered about in the moon
light wondering about the different
places and occurrences that might have
taken place In them. Apart from the
rest was a house which both from its
construction and tumbledown appear
ance must have been older than any he
had vet passed Whether IL was &C
cupied or not he could not tell. for Ike
all the rest Of the houses it was dark
Billings stopped before the front door
TO admire il. its side lights. its arched
lights above and the antique bead
work on IL. wishing that he could re-
move il and use II on his own house
in his home city.
Suddenly the door opened. There
was no sound from the old hinges and
Il seemed that the door moved Of itself.
But In another moment q face appear
ed In the opening, the face evidently
OF a young girl, though since she was
IN shadow Billings could not see her
distinctly. She beckoned TO him. but
did not speak he drew near her and
she whispered:
"A tragedy has occurred here. A
man has been stabbed. 1 and my sis
ter are alone. ! wish you would come
in and help us"
Billings had no inclination for what
was asked Of him. but the girls voice
was so soft, a nearer view showed her
50 comedy. that he entered the vesti-
buIe. There was no light. and when
the door was closed behind them it
was pitchy dark. The girl took Bill
lings' hand TO guide him. and a cold
chill followed her touch, which was icy
cold
VIII you strike Iight7" he asked
"Oh. no. / would not attract the at
tention OF the watch for the world"
Billings would have retreated, but
was ashamed to do so. Besides, the
cold grip on his hand would not be
easily shaken of. he suffered himself
to be led through n spacious hall and
up q winding staircase. On reaching
an upper hall the girl opened a door
and led the way into a bedchsmber.
The windows were open, and the
moon. which was an hour high, cast
food OF light into the room, illuminat-
ing with its pale light a four post bed
stead with CANOPY overhead and val
auce beneath. Beside it knelt q wo-
