live in that house, at least see that
Madam Gottfried moves out. She may
be a good woman in her intentions and
in her life, but she Is accursed."
Herr Rumf laughed at such a story.
He was a hard-headed, practical man,
and didn't believe In the evil eye, or in
accursed houses. So he took posses
sion of the house, he and his family oc-
cupying the two lower floors, and Mad.
am Gottfried moving upstairs. She
made a pathetic plea to be allowed to
remain. She was a sad. lone woman,
the victim Of unparalleled misfor-
tunes. In brief time she had lost her
father and mother, her brother. three
children, and had been twice widowed,
The story Of her troubles made such an
impression upon Herr Rumf that he let
her remain, and made his terms re.
markably liberal.
She was q fine buxom woman, OF
gracious manners, and possessing q
sad, sweet smile that melted the hearts
Of men. Her hair was brown, and
her complexion marvellous. Her teeth
were snowy. set rather far apart and
pointed. Had a modern criminologist
noted her teeth, he might have been
impervious to the appeal Of her eyes
Her upstair rooms were handsomely
furnished, and she had fine library
chiefly Of religious books, which she
spent much time reading. Her piety
while not obstrusive, always attracted
attention.
In a few weeks Madam Gottfred
was practically a member Of the RUM
family. She spent most Of her time
in their part Of the house. and husband
and wife agreed that she was q god

to Madam Rumf, and when the latter
fell dangerously sick, the widow sci

to bafle the doctors. She suffered
excruciating pain. Now and then she
showed signs Of improvement, only Il
