An Arm Across the Moon,
The cabin Of Fallen Rock was very
gloomy as tie Pearlhunter came down
the bluff, walked around TO the front
door and pushed It open The fire had
long since died in the stove In the
twilight the interior of the cabin was
like night. He fastened to light the
candle The sight of his mothers
chair, when the light brought It out Of
the gloom, oppressed him heavily.
He stepped out of the cabin. think

The moon was not due till midnigt t.
but The sky was already spiked with
stars; and so blue and deep that it
appeared to have no bottom A good
eye seemed to be all that was needed
TO see clear through.
The bottom grew again in the sky !;
the stars came back out Of the deep
azure. The mans eyes opened. 1t was

idea of the speed with which these

or so from the house. @~' -.
II was approached by = grayeiled

sweep Of the drive before the
house. and after passing the Sum.
mer-house this path led on, still
among shrubs and beneath thick
trees, till 1. came out on the. main
road at the entrance Of Upper
Scotney village. This was indeed
the nearest way from the village
to the house, and was used habit
ually by those going on foot from
one to the other. H.,
About halfway between the Sum-
mer-house and the main house the
path brsnched, and one branch, so
TO call IL, though II really went on
almost In a straight line, led TO the
back regions, the servants part.
And besides these two, which may
be regarded as the main paths,
there was yet another branchlet
leading to another entrance 10 the
house through conservatory which
IL had been a 'whim Of my Aunt
Enid to have built. p. ls

she had no idea at all, bat the
bright colors of flowers appealed

my uncle, of the many hours of
contemplative peace which I had
passed in this Summer-house, and
of the utter impossibility that

Now, In the face Of this fearful
tragedy, he seemed as II he were

then this.
My father had been an elder
brother OF Uncle Ralph, and the
pace, such as II was-it was OF no
great size or yalue-together with
the title, the baronetcy, he'd been

was quite Young, and I was their

that when left school and came
TO live at home, at SeOtney House,

The Corpse in the Sunmer-House.
TT only shows how immensely
quickly our minds work that I
should have been able to think
Of all this, and indeed Of a great
deal more detail incidental to 1t, In
the very short time that 1t took
me to reach the Summer-house.
The door, facing me, stood open
as l went up the short side paths
toward 1t, and even as | turned
into this little by-path l could see
a. curious yellow gleam within the
Summer-house itself struggling
with the pure silvery ray of the
moon which flooded everything. A
change in the direction Of the
CLEAN enabled me to understand
Its meaning; It came from the
bulrs-eye lantern which the keeper
always had with him when he went
his rounds in the coverts. But now,
as | saw, my uncle held 1t.
Already | had become dreadfully
aware OF the semblance Of a blue
draped figure lying on the Summer
house floor, OF my uncle kneeling
at one side Of 1t, while on the other
must be Livesay. This | made
out, confusedly, and then the re.
triever came from the door, at first
with a stiffening OF its back and
growl, but then with a tail.wag.

for a friend.
And with that reached the door
and, looking in, seemed to know
the worst at a glance.

and myself.
Probably a man would not have
felt aware Of 1t, but to a woman,
whose education, / suppose, makes
her more attentive to such things,
the incongruity and horror Of the
whole scene was intensified by this
daintiness. There was Just the one
evidence, such terrible evidence,
that she was not resting there
quietly asleep-the stain of out
rageous crimson, which my start
led eyes beheld, against the bosom
of her dress.
"You found her so-like this?'.
| asked the keeper, who did not
answer audibly, but nodded his
head in assent.
My question to the man seemed
to rouse my uncle out OF the fixed
brooding into which he had fallen.
I'VE had better take her up" he
said, in a straineI, hoarse voice.
"If you will help me, Livesay, we
will take her to her room"
I know that there was forming
In my sadly strained mind q dim
idea that there was something not
quite right abo' the proposal even
before Livesay put It clearly into
words for me by suggesting, BEG
