one awful second he remained rooted to the floor. Then, fear stab@ ping his limbs to action, he scram. bled to his feet. As he did SO, his hand came in contact with some- thing hard. It was the handle of his banjo and he seized 1t grate- fully. Leaping up, he swung the banjo furiously at that grinning thing. There was a splintering crash and the lights went out suddenly, leaving the museum in pitch black ness. And Wilfrid departed from that place, bowling over an impru- dent skeleton that happened to be lurking in the region of the door, way.
 He gained the stairs without mishap, charged up them and came to anchor before the group in the upper hall, where he collapsed against the wall like pricked bal- loon, spent panting and still clutch- ing the banjo.
 J. Pemberton Canning raised his hands on high. He was sorely tried.
 Lord Almighty" he ejaculated. twill somebody, just one person, have the goodness to tell me what is going on in this house9"
 Nobody spoke. Wilfrid panted. Ronald groaned. J. Pemberton's voice rose in a dull roar.
 Boy" he boomed, addressing the hapless Wilfrid. twill you tell me why you come laundering up these stairs shrieking loud enough to wake the dead' In Gods name .'
 "Pemberton," interrupted Mrs. Canning, dabbing haphazardly at Ronald with witch-hazel soaked cotton, mind your language, dear"
 He wheeled upon her. "Lan- guage? To devil with the lan- guage! This is enough to make a saint swear" He turned to Wilfrid
 again. well speak up! Whats the idea of you and your brother holding a marathon here in the middle of the night?"
 Wilfrid pulled himself together and spoke.
 "It moved" he said.

 J. Pemberton wheeled on her. DO you know anything about hornets?"
 "Hornets?" Barbara cogitated. "They,re those little black things that fly around and sting you, aren't they? No, I k. ="
 "Stop this nonsensel" bawled J. Pemberton exasperated. He ad- dressed the gathering as a whole. "This--this imbecile here :"
 "Father, Ronald is not an inl- beetle"
 J. Pemberton grunted. "Oh, is this Ronald? Well, you may be able to tell them apart, but l don't know. I can't. Anyhow"-he looked around for a table to thump and, finding none, banged the wall T say that any boy who chases through house in the dead of night screaming at the top of his lungs is an imbecile. And I stick to it."
 Ron, dear" said Barbara ir- relevantly, your face is sight"
 The entire lack of sympathy ac- corded him was getting too much for Ronald. lie exploded.
 "So would yours be-" he yelled, If you'd put 1t in a hornets nest"
 "Oh, did you do that? How care- less, Ronaldp
 Mrs. Canning had withdrawn. She returned now with a bottle of witchhazel and some cotton and began to dab at Ronald's face in an abstracted manner. There was a monientary silence, broken only by grunts from the afflicted twin.
 Well" said Barbara easily, we're all here now. All but Will frid. ."
 A sudden howl sounded from afar. It began as low sweeping bay and then swelled to an agon- ized and prolonged scream. Upon the group in the hall its effect was electric. As if by common consent they rose a foot in the air, then settled down again.
 God in Heavenl" exclaimed j. Pemberton Canning. What on earth was that?"
 From the region of the stairs there came a tumult. Someone was ascending and ascending right rapidly. A breathless hush fell over the congregation. Then Wilfric burst into view, running as If al the flends of Satan were breathing down the back of his pajamas. HI, eyes were wide, his hair disheveled and in his right hand he carried ( banjo which he brandished before him.
 q was wrong" said Barbars calmly. "Wilfrid is here"
 MT. wilfrid Peyton, wrapped ir a blanket on the floor of the museum, never knew how long ht slept. He was awakened by a heavy scraping sound as of some bulky floor. For a moment he lay with hi eyes closed, sleep still bewilderinf his senses. Then he opened his eyes Above him loomed @ great dark shape, an indistinct towering mast that seemed to creep slowly nearer
 Wilfrid sat bolt upright, the hail rising on his head and cold per. spiration oozing from every DOT, in his body. He opened his moutl but no sound came, save Q stran. gled and intellectual gurgle. Ant then something occurred A'-~t gay, him back his vocal powers Tn, top of the dark shape lighted sud denly, hideously. And Wilfrid nerveless and chattering, saw bend ing over him in the darkness { horrible face whose eyes wer, deathlike hollows and whose loni jaw widened in a terrible, gloatinf grin over snaggly, uneven teeth.

CHAPTER xr

After retiring, MT. Canning had lain awake for some time, dimly conscious of Q stir throughout the house. stirs, however, meant noth- ing to J. Pepberton Canning. He held to the theory that there was always at least one in his house. fIe was used to them. So long as this present stir did not develop irfo a downright riot, he was con- tent to leave 1t alone.
 But when, after having achieved q light doze, he was suddenly awakened by Q series of penetrat- ing war whoops he considered it time to investigate. Accordingly, he reached for his dressing gown and stepped out into the hall. As he did so. a door slammed. MT. Canning jumped and turned on the hall lights. It was then that he per- ceiyed e pajama a-clad figure ap- proaching at speed that would have caused an Olympic sprinter to sink away in shame.
 Here" demanded J. Pemberton, with some heat. "What's all this?"
 The sprinter pulled up as though provided with four-wheel brakes. Then he clapped e hand to his en- larged forehead and groaned. "c-o-o-o-hl"
 sNow see here" began J. Penn berton Canning. "I've had enough of this. Why on earth are you racing through this hall in the mid- de of the night ?"
 "Is anything the matter, Pember- ton?" Mrs. Canning swan sedately into the picture. Why, Wilfrid, or is 1t Ronald, what have you done to your face?"
 "i--ow-geel I've been stung,' gasped Ronald.
 Another door opened. The black head of Billy popped out.
 Hey" he called testify. T cant sleep with all this noise
 At the word sleep J. Pember- ton Canning bridled.
 "Sleep?' he roared. "Who the devil could sleep with a madmar tearing through the house? Speak up, you--Ronald or Wilfrid or whichver 1t isl Whats the matter Whats all this commotion about?'
 Hornets" Ronald managed. Tn fny room
 !. Pemberton Canning addressed his wife. "Is he crazy or am I?"
 "I'm not crazy" said the disfig. ured Ronald, with some slight sug- gestion of hauteur. Somebody put q hornets nest in my room. I've been stung nearly to death"
 "Nonsense," said J. Pemberton "Whod do Q fool think like that You've been dreaming"
 Patience with his elders hae never been Ronald Peyton's lonl suit. He thrust out @ hand indig. nantly. It was swollen.
 "Does that look like a dream?' he growled.
 ,. Pemberton examined the in. jury.
 "Um-er-no," he admitted taken aback. Then 6 sense of his wrongs reasserted itself and hi, voice lifted. But, good God, boy just because you've hurt your finger little is no reason to turn out the whole house. Whats the {. matter with this generation, any how? When I was boy we learned to grin and bear 1t. Don't they teach stoicism in the schools any more?"
 Barbara appeared She had paused to select 6 particularly fetching negligee and do her hair . bit. She was looking her best.
