the warm sunshine. He was busily whiting an
arrow shaft. He was never idle, but always found

The boys all seated about him: thew liked him
best of all in this mood for fountain of infor

rIence outside the very gates Of the
place called Green Fancy?
His ramble carried him far beyond
the spot where Rooms body was found
and where young COnley had cOme
upon the tethered horses. His eager,
curious gaze swept the forest to the
left of the road In search of Green
Fancy. Overcome by a rash, daring
impulse, he climbed v e the stake
and rider fence and sauntered among
the big trees which so far had OBJ
scured the house from view. The trees
grew very thickly on the slope, and
they were unusually large. He pro-
crossed deeper into the wood. At the
end Of what must have been a mile
he halted. There was no sign of habl-
tatiOn, no indication that man had
ever penetrated so far into the forest.
AS he was on the point of retracing
his steps toward the road his gaze
fell upon q huge mOss-cOvered rock
less than a hundred yards away. He
stared, and gradually 1t began to take
on angles and planes and recesses of
the most astounding symmetry. I'm
der his widening gaze 1t was trans
formed into Il substantial object of
cubes and gables and-yes. windows.
lie was looking upon the strange
home Of the ever stranger Mr.. Cur
tis-Green Fancy.
Now he understood why it was
called Green Fancy. It's surroundings
were no greener than itself; 1t seemed
to melt into the foliage, to become a
part Of the natural landscape. Noun
tain ivy literally enveloped 1t. Ex-
posed sections of the house were paint
ed green; the doors were green; the
leafy pOrches and their columns, the
chimney pots, the window hangings-
all were the color Of the unchanglng
forest. And 1t was a place Of huge
dimensions, low and long and ram
bling.
"Gad," he said to himself, "what
manner of crank is he who would
bury himself like this? OF all the
crazy ideas I ever"
His reflections ended there. A WON.
an crossed his vision; a oma stroll
Ing slowly toward him through the In,
