was not the only one astir In the
house.
Enthusiastically, some one was moving
in the hall below.
There was a night-lamp on the stair

when l heard the first sound. Advance

steps into the hall. There also a
single light transformed, though dimly
enough, the space below to kind Of
spectral chiaroscuro. And at the foot
of the stairs stood the figure Of q
man.
When I first caught sight of him.
his head was turned toward the H.
brary doors, and almost at once he
himself moved in that direction. I
heard him almost inaudibly shutting the
doors, and concluded that he had come
that way, but, as the locks were not
yet repaired, they had probably swung
ajar, and he wished to leave no sign
of his passage. In this judged cor
rectly. because, Immediately afterward:

click of an electric swith. Beneath
me now extended well of darkness. I
felt instinctively that he was again ap-

all found some entrance to the house,
and was he now coming to meet me?
That seemed impossible, because had

that he observed everything. His step
was like the easy swing of panther.

patient. She was asleep Eleanor had

me know. And, at any rate, I'll be out

But the implication. perhaps fanci-

he need not, however, have been
concerned. Now that, SO to speak, the
vague ailurement OF . doubt had passed
from my interest in Eleanor, / was
conscious of my nightly attendance at
Greenhouse as an act of professional al
truism. And that is distinctly a mild
emotion. Indeed, that night after a
hard day of ONCE work, visits, and hos
pital engagements, felt growing dis
relish toward returning to the solitary
mansion. Apart from the crime and
sorrow that darkened 1t, was conscious
OF an atmosphere of menace peculiar to
the place, which had impressed me on
the evening of my first arrival.
1 believed that, even under normal
circumstances, Greyhouse would have
produced the effect of detachment and
mystery. Never had the club presented
itself as more cozy and human; never
had stronger inclination for the
company of my fellow men than to-

found Eleanor at the bedside. It
was evident that the day, with its last
