She indicated the door of the en-
closed staircase. She led the way
with the candle. The panelled, mar
row hall was empty. That door, too,
was locked, and the key, she knew,
must be on the inside. \
"Who-who is it," jenkins asked.
"Who would be in that rom? Has
Mr.. Bobby come back"
She descended to the library be-
fore answering. She put the candle
down and spread her hands.

ever he feared"
Not Mr.. Silas?"

with a SILVER. Get hammer, a

"But if there's anything wrong"
the butler objected, IF anybody's

Open"
She shook her head. Those two
first of all faced that Extraordinary
puzzle. Hold had the murderer en-
tered and left the room with both
doors locked on the inside, with the
windows too high for use? They
went to the upper story. She urge
the butler into the sombre corridor.
1--WE have to know" she whis-
pered. whats happened beyond
those locked doors"
She still vibrated to the feeling
of uncomfortable forces in the old
house. Jenkins, she saw, responded
to the same superstitious mlsglv-
ings. He inserted the chisel with
maladroit hands. He forced the
lock back and opened the door. Dust
arose from the long disused room,
hecking the yellow candle flame.
They hesitated on the threshold.
They forced themselves to enter:
Then they looked at each other and
smiled with relief, for Silas Black
burn, in his dressing gown, lay on
the bed, his placid, unmarked face
upturned, as if sleeping.

"He's all right"
Almost With confidence Katherine
walked to the bed.

She drew back until the wall sup
ported her. Jenkins must have read
everything in her face, for he whim-
pered: :,
But he looks all right. He can't

"Cold1-aalready! If hadn't

The horror of the thing descended
upon her, sitting thought. Auto
matically she left the room and told
Jenkins what to do. After he had
telephoned police headquarters in
the county seat and had summoned
Doctor Groom, a country physician,
she sat without words, huddled over
the library fire.
The detective, a competent man
named Howells, and Doctor Groom
arrived at about the same time.
The detective made Katherine &C

He entered the corridor. She heard
him shutting between the narrow
walls. She saw his candle disappear
in its gloomy reaches.
She ran to her own room and
locked the door. She hurried to the
window and leaned out, her body
shaking, her teeth chattering as if
from a sudden chill. The quiet, as
sured tread of disaster came nearer.
The two wings, stretching, at right
angles from the main building,
formed a narrow court. Clouds
marrying the moon failed quite to
destroy its power, so that she could
see, across the court, the facade of
the old wing and the two windows
of the large room through whose
curtains a spectral glow was diff
fused. She heard one of the win
dows opened with a grating noise.
The court was a sounding board.
1t carried to her even the shuff1ing
of the old man. feet as he must
have approached the bed. The glow
of his candle vanished, She heard
a rustling as if he had stretched
himself on the bed, sound like a
long drawn sigh.
She tried to tell herself there was
no danger-that these peculiar &C
tons sprang from the old mans
fancy-but the house. her surround
ings, her loneliness, contradicted her.
To her over-acute senses the
thought of Blackburn in that room,
so often consecrated to the formula
of death, suggested a special and
unaccountable menace. Under such
a strain the supernatural assumed
vague and singular shapes.
She slept for only little while.
Then she lay awake, listening with
a growing expectancy for some mes
sage to slip across the court. The
moon had ceased struggling. The
wind cried. The baying of a dog
echoed mournfully from a great dis
lance. 1t was like a remote alarm
bell which vibrates too perfectly,
whose resonance is too prolonged.
She sat upright. She sprang from
the bed and, her heart beating in
sufferably, felt her way to the win
dow. From the wing opposite the
message had come-a soft, shrouded
sound another long-drawn sigh.
She tried to call across the court.
At first no response came from her
tight throat. When it did at last,
her voice was unfamiliar in her own
ears, the voice of one who has to
know a thing but shrinks from
asking.
"Uncle~
The wind Knocked her.
ut is nothing" she told Herself,
nothing"
But her vigil had been too long,
her lonliness too complete. Her
earlier impression of the presence of
death in the decaying house tight
ened its hold. She had to assure
herself that Silas Blackburn slept
untroubled. The thing she had heard
was peculiar. and he hadn't
answered across the court. The
dark, empty corridors at first were
an impossible barrier, but while she
put on her slippers and her dressing
