to such a II as that feeble ghost
story Of the pool. l could not dread
that ghost or feel it's presence. 1t
a a benevolent ghost needed for
decoration.
l asked the people Of the house, the
servants, and found that for them it
was largely a superstition. They all
had been brought from the city, and
only IL few. such as Jed. a gardener, the
housekeeper and the cook had been
long enough in the house really to be
associated with it.
Jed was the only one that willingly
would be in the vicinity of the pool ut
night. The others might laugh at the
suggestion of terror, but they would
not willingly test their superiority to
superstition. If they had been really
frightened. they could not have been
kept in service. They were not. The
place was large. comfortably inhabited
and genial. There was a touch OF
dread at one spot. They avoided the
spot. and it was negligible so long as
they did avoid it.
In the small town of Hartley there
was more of the legend than there was

lived at a distance and came in con-

it had an alien, exotic air. Mr.. and

had lived many years. The circum-

CHAPTER II.

That evening I had dinner with Mrs.
Sidney and her daughter Isobel. l had
been in the house tweaty-four hours
and did not know there was a daugh-
ter until dinner brought the three of
us together.
Mrs. Sidney was Spanish. She was
a lovely woman, gracious and charm
ing, but I thought there was a great
deal of steel hidden in her disposition.
She did not seem to ask that life be
soft or to expect to find it so. She
had a Roman dignity of self respect
which did not, l could be sure, permit
moaning. It would not have taxed any
ones perceptions to recognize in Mrs.
Sidney a human being living an ex-
traerdinary life. The fact was so ap-
parent that it seemed a part of her
personality.
1t must be remembered that l had
come to Hartley house prepared for
abnormalities. There was first, the
a with the wonderful will to live
which had interested DR.. Browaell.
There was the alien beauty of the
house, the strange servant Jed, the
haunted pool-insignificant as 1t was,
to q rational being-the lovely woman
who was so apparently a tragic figure.
There was the fact of my being locked
In my room the first night. There
were the forbidding defences of the
place-walls, dogs and keepers. I may
he excused for taking a funciful view
Of my new surroundings.
Then there was Miss Sidney-Isobel.
She came into the dining room an un-
expected if MOI astonishing phenome-
o to me, who did not know that
there vas a daughter in the family.
Mrs. Sidney presented me.
"How do you do?" said Miss Sidney,
and she seemed to ffld it tiresome that
q stranger had taken q place at the
table.
Jed served us, and the dinner was
excellent. Although the ladies had
only a glass of sherry each, l was Of

sfons, but ! was so embarrassed by

he a more tolerable dinner companion.
It was some champagne stimulated re-
mark on feminism which caused Miss
Sidney to stare at me- as If l were an
animal which, being smooth skinned,
suddenly had grown a coat of fur.
She stared for an instant and then
laughed. She was quite frank. She
had been bored; she had become in

one could know, held to conventions

did not.
Isobel Sidney was a very attractive
girl. I guessed her age to be twenty
three. l also guessed that candor and
honesty were outstanding points in her
disposition. Her youth and her beauty
we're magnetic, and I must confess that
my romanticism was touched instantly.
