mo one has been able to do much
more than guess at what took place,
but it was known that Richard was a
brute and that Henry was scared of
him but vas not a coward. They must
have had a violent quarrel.
There was a cottage near the pool.
The only person in it at the time was
q little girl, whose parents were not at
home. She was awakened by cries
and swearing. She said that she heard
one man say: They'll find you dead in
the morning. Then she heard sounds
Of a struggle and was scared m hid

away, still drunk. He confessed that
he had killed his brother in a drunken

CHAPTER V-Continued.

"And tell sad stories of the deaths
Of kings" said Jed, drawing his chair
nearer to the fire and spreading out
his hands before it. He was drinking
more nationally now, slipping his wine
instead Of gulping it. He had arrived
at his desired state and wished to
maintain it.
Mr.. Sidney seemed to feel a com
Portable glow as Jed drank. There
was no, doubt that by suggestion he
obtained physical sensations of stimu-
lation and joviality.
IF we had q ghost" said Mr.. Sid
ney, 1T would walk on such a night"
The wind made an extraordinary at
tack upon the windows as he spoke
and sucked a s%Oughing sound from the
chimney.
:Tell the doctor the story Of the
pool" Mr.. Sidney said to Jed. "We
are In the comfortable werewolf state.
Let's have our legend. Do you want
to add a shiver to your contentment,
doctor?" he asked.

sha'n't interrupt"
after the capture Of New Amster-
dam from the Dutch by the English,
the Dobsons came down from the
north and bought this manor-house
from the Dutch family that had 1t.
Then the Dobsons lived here In a SIM
pie fashion.
"They renamed It Hartley house for
their father, who was Hartley Dobson.
That's its name now"

sarily," l said, but where do you get

he answered, "and If l am going to tell
the story l want a fair chance. . . {.
A lot Of generations Of Dobsons lived
here. There was always q DObsOn fam

came down to the generation that

in that family-a half century ago
the sons of James and Henrietta Dob

Henrietta Dobson died when her
son Richard was nine years old and
her other son Henry was seven years
old. James DObsOn died two years la
ter, and the boys were parentless.
This family was an argument against
families"

on with his story evenly and good-na-
turedly.
