Hampstead, L. l., Aug. Larry
Fitzgerald. Of Mineola. started for
Westbury in his automobile, last night
but he never got there. 1t was moon
less midnight, and Larry was speed
ing down Old Country Road at spot
where trees and underground crowd
the highway, when two heads, lying at
the side of the road, appeared before
him in the glare cast by his lights.
The apparition startled Larry and his
car stopped with a jerk.
"Hey there" he called.
The heads did not hey; neither did
they move. They just lay there.
"G-g-get up out o. that" demanded
Larry in a trembling voice.
The distant plant Of an owl was
the only answer. Larry meditated
Clearly those heads belonged to hu-
man beings or horrible thought had
belonged to human beings. No one
ever heard of a bald-headed spirit, and
one head was inclined TO badness.
Larry took heart from that bald spot.
Tragedy and badness do not go to-
gether.
Ssh. The Plot Thickcns.
As cautiously as a man might, whose
eyes were irresistibly drawn 10 a point
twenty feet to the right, Larry descend
ed from the car. The heads did not
move. Slowly Larry advanced upon
them. Their lure was compelling.
Larry found himself bending over them.
One was the head OF a man of about
forty and the other that Of a youth OF
sixteen or so. The eyes were closed.
No breathing was perceptible. Larry
touched a face with his finger 1t was
as cold as stone.
Larry fingered no longer. lie did not
even satisfy himself the heads were
attached to bodies. lie lost all interest
in them. A moment later he was speed
ing back toward Mineola on lOd Coun-
try Road.
Straight TO the Jail at Mineola he
raced. and aroused the telephone opear-
