1t was after II o'clock and Rucker
was doxing in his chair. He was awal-

There was no answer. The form

then out into the adjoining room.
Rucker was not naturally timid or su-

ghosts--or admitted that he did. but
upon this occasion his heart beat fast

He followed the white apparelled

she had to hers. Moreover Tom had

She broke away from him and reeled

stood speechless.
Then she ran toward him and caught
his face IN both her hands.

of the men. "Sit down, angel-face!"

Mr.. Montrose decided that II was his
