to the crash or damage. Involuntar-
fly Nina moved through a gateway
and approached the building. A pass
ing, lad, on a keen run from some
companions lat a distance, made a
shield with his hand at his lips to
emphasize the warning he uttered
shrilly:
Lookout. miss-that house is
hauntedw
Nina halted with little thrill. She
glanced trifie fiutteringly and then
curiously at the grim-loOking place
and recalled its recent history. 1t
had been vacant for a year, but few
months previous had gained ten
ant in a certain Victor Russell, an
artist. She had met the gentleman
several times, had been introduced to
him, but to her, as to all others. he
was reserved-rather sad and de-
pressed, she fancied, and it was not
easy to approach him with more than
formal courtesy.
Nina had heard that the stranger
had some secret care or grief that
clOuded his life. More than that, he
shut himself up absolutely in his home
and admitted no visitors. There had
been reported mysterious visits Of
strangers from some other towns-twO
ladies. a gentleman who suggested a
physician. At times for several days a
woman was said to have been fitting
about the upper rooms, but never In
the ground Outside.
Then one night village lad pass
ing the place arrived at his home. pale
and breathless, with a queer story to
relate. He had seen white-rObed
figure appear on an outer balcony Of
the house singing a wierd, curdling
strain and accompanying the same
with wild. frantic gestures to the
rising full moon. A man had ap-
peared. forcibly bearing her into the
house amid her ringing screams.
There was local art society and
several times Mr.. Russell had lee
tured on studio work at the request Of
its director. II was at the rooms of
the society that Nina had met him
and his statuesque face, classic and
clean-cdt. had attracted her. He had
returned her greeting when he met her
on the street, but nothing more.
Nina conquered natural innate
dread and went nearer to the house
and right up to the broken window.
She ventured to glance in and through
the window to see If any further dam
age was done.
"Oh. dearw palpitated Nina and her
brow wrinkled in pretty dismay.
