 MT. Fotherbury and the doctor were sitting by the center table talking. MT. Fotherbury rose and came to Laxton, saying:
 "Ah, professor, you've brought your friend who's going to show S a way through the maze? Will you all find chairs?"

Fotherbury shuddered. "Shant W. all sit down?"
 "Yes, Mir Fotherbury," said Lax ton, here's the ghost Pell was about to conjure up in this room when he lost his life. I'm sorry some of the people to whom he wished to show his ghost are not here now, and particularly one of them-Marling." "Ah-Marling. You know"
 "Yes. Marling is no longer avail able-however, we proceed without him. This, then, is the former owner of Newplace. It is also Pells ghost. It is also an escaped convict"

It was just half-past nine when we passed under the gatehouse of Newplace. On the bridge six men had silently fallen in behind us, saying no word to anybody.
 Inside the gate one dropped out and stood motionless near the dooc of Markings house. The other five followed us. At the fork of Che road two disappeared towards the cloisters. The remaining three ac- companied us to the house. One Of these walked around to the back. One stayed in the shadow of the porch. The last of the six entered with us and stood aside in the hall.

How could we stop without emotion
before the gate Of this Chateau Of Mon
dement,? Before passing through it the
marshal took us along the surrounding
wall to find the gap made at short
range by one of our 75's to prepare the
attack of the nth Infantry, which re-
stored to us the possession of the
chateau only on the evening OF Sep
TENDER 9.
Then the marshal crossed the court
of honor without stopping before the
walls, which are still riddled with the
fateful marks of gunfire, and as he did
so he reminded us of the unfortunate
fate of the residents, who had to escape
on foot in the night, their car having
been blown to bits by a she'll and their
last horse killed in the stable.
