CHAPTER II

When Janet had said good night to
Mrs. Denver, she bolted her door and
wondered whether she would be able
to sleep. Ready for bed. she put out
her light, and, raising the shades at
her windows saw that the rain was
over, and the moon, little past the
full, had risen and was Illuminating
the gardena casting long ragged
shadows of the pines across the I'M
kempt lawns. While she looked and
unused over the strange situation, two
figures emerged from the gloom of the
trees-in one of them she recognized
the principal Of the school; but the
other was a man fully six feet three
inches tall: and with long arms like
q gorilla. His broad, whitish face was
bored into by black eyes, and slashed
rather than featured by a great, red
mouth. His appearance was so terri
flying she sank on her knees and drew
the lace window curtains between her
face and the window. Who was he?
A man-of-all-work?
Whatever he was, he was In the con-
ndence Of his master. They advanced
slowly, in earnest conversation. At
last they paused beneath her window,
ceased talking. and gazed up steadily
for about two minutes.
Her heart beat so violently that she
felt they must hear it. All at once the
moon went under a cloud, and their
scrutiny ceased. She stole into bed,
and. In spite Of her fears, was soon
asleep.
How long she had slept she did not
know when she found herself all at
once wide awake, sitting up in bed,
and wondering If a far-off sound of
feet had been actual or part of
dream. Not hearing II again, she lay
back on her pillow and went over the
events of the day. her mind now alert
and active. Fear gave way to curl
osity. Why had Haskell segregated
his four teachers on this floor? Why
had he wished to keep them away
from the scholars7

every moment, she resolved at last on
a bold move. This strange principal
had probably gone to bed. She would
creep down and explore the ground
floor of the academy and probably find
some clue to the mystery. Acting at
once on this resolve, she put on her
clothes, and softly stepped out into
the corridor and made her way down
the curved staircase to the central
hall.
There she stood for a moment In un-
certainty, but started at last toward
a door. to reach which she had to
pass the glass door of the study room
where the scholars had been so indus
triously bent over their books. AS
she went by she instinctively glanced
in. The room was flooded with NOON
light. And to her horror she saw the
four forms still leaning their heads
over their desks, absolutely notion
less.
For moment she wanted to scream;
to run in terror from this house. Were
they still forms of the dead or were
they dummies-put therefor what
purpose?
Very softly she tried the door; 1t
was unlocked; and she entered, clos
ing the door behind her and calculat-
ing the amount of courage it would re-
Quire to approach the nearest figure.
