it w going to root up our whott lift and wrtfk it; hut loft not th<»k about it, loft otnp worrgmg and go to Weep. In the hush of the night, the house lived. Its Umbers etrvtehed them selroa. groaning and creaking; faint whispers rustled through dark pas<agvs ami empty rooms, and behind the wainscot ran an odd gurgilug •»und. The clock on the dining room mantelpiece whirred and clicked before striking a deep, sonorous chime that hung upon ths still night air. ■welling like circles that widen on the surface of a pool whelf a stone Ml thrown into it... Suddenly a ery echoed through the house. Edith thought she had imagined it until she heard it again. Stephen sat up. “That’s Peter,” he whispered | hoarsely. "Sound* like a nightrnar®.** He slid his feet out of bed and fumbled for his slippers. Edith let him go. Comforting his son might do him good. Stephen padded along the gloomy hail and into the room where the boys slept Hr could dimly see the limp form <>f Michael, sunk in slumber; and the small white form of Peter, sitting up in the other bed. quaking with terror. Stephen put his arms round the boy and held him tightly, feeling with pity the spasmodic shudders that ran through the slim body. "It's all right, son, nothing’s going tu hurt you. Daddy's here.” Gradually, Peter allowed himaelf to be soothed. The tears stopped eoartong down his wet cheeks and the shuddering eeaeed except for an occasional tremor. “Oh, Dad,” he whimpered brokenly, "it was awful. I th- thought Aunt Oc—Octavia was in the room.” "Hush, boy, hush! You'll waken the others, it was only a dream. i Peter, only a dream.” "Bob D Dowell told me once that , when people die th —that way their gho Ata haunt the places whetn they were killed forever." "Bob was talking nonsense, son. There are no such things as gh,»ts.’’ The boy was silent fur a inoment. An icy grip tightened un Jitephen’s ' heart. M hat could he say to dispel i the shadow of Octavia's death from ' Peter’s mind? He could tind no | words that would do it. Kicking off his slippera, Stephen pushed bark the bed-clothes and slipp-d m beside the buy. Peter put two slender arms about his neck and nestle d close to him. "You won’t leave me. Dad? You'll stay all night?” "Yea. son. LU stay." •I’m glad.” "Good night, Peter," •’Goo' night. Dad.” At five in the morning Stephen gently extricated himself from his ' .sip ping child's clinging arms and tiptoed downstairs. He opened th< baek-door and went out to the garden. He had forgotten his slippers and the dew was cool and refreshing on his bare feet. It wae a lovely morning, the sky was dear and blue, the air sweet and fresh. A bird chirped in the branches of a tree above his head and far away a rooster crowed a shrill challenge to the sun. Yesterday dawned like thia, he thought; and yesterday wae the most dreadful day of my Ufa What will today bring? His roses were coming on. Every day more bloom* opened out to their full spender. An hour later, when Edith eame down, she found her t.uaband staring at a rose as though jit were a eryetai bail. He was still ’ in pajamas and bare feet. Horrified, . she made him go and dress. Hannah was up and a fragrant »dur of coffee began to pervade the

house. The normal Sunday morning breakfast hour was half past nine, but Edith and her husband breakfasted alone at seven. Edith had decided to let the children sleep until they wakened of their own accord. At eight a boy came clattering up the gravel path and deposited the Sunday papers <m the doorstep. Stephen was looking out of the window and the boy gave him a curious stare He had sewn Stephen at least a hundred times in the past year but he gaped at him aa though bo were an oddity viesrad for*the first time Stephen went out to bring in the papers. Hr stooped to pick them up and the glaring headline, which was spread acroAs the top of the front page of the uppermost paper, struck i him like a physical blow; WOMAN WIRDEKFD WHILE NIETK READA NNAKEBPRARE With shaking hands he lifted the paper. Hr ironed hack against the portico, weak with horror, and read the sub-heads and the columns of type teneath them: LakH-AWN—. Tragedy entered a quiet home here. Saturday afternoon, when Oetavia Osborne, Zl, wealthy spinster , of Sutton Square. New York City, was strangled with a silk scarf while sitting in the living- 1 room of her brother, Sti- year tod Stephen Osborne. Ann Osborns, a niece of the murdered woman, is alleged to have been reading a kick - - Shakespeare's Honrg tho V— in the room at the time of the crime. She told the police |, that she heard nothing until her aunt's companion entered the room and gave the alarm. A local resident, whose name the police are withholding the present, has come forward to say that, although she was watching the house al) afternoon from the window at which she was sitting, she saw no ons enter it except members of the family and Mr. Edward Fleming, w>n of a prominent Bradbury lawyer, who is locally reputed to be engaged to the eldest daughter. A scarf, found knotted tightly about the neck of the murdered woman, ttoonged to Imrothy Osborne, one of her nieces ... (Stephen skipped rapidly i through the test): visit was cut short by a serious family quarrel which arose when Miss Osborne announced the ternui of a 1 will she intended to make, disinheriting her brother ... draft of new will was found partially bulled in a fireplace... Osborne had lost his job the previous day .. . police questioned vari- : ou» members of the family and took a set of fingerprints from each .., scouted the possibility that a tramp might have committed the crime . .. With hsggard eyes Stephen read to the bottom of the page, then folloured the injunction: "Turn to page Id." Descriptions of the indi i vidual Osbornes, further details of the crime and veiled hints that nn outsider could be responsible for ' it.... There was a picture of the house, taken from the fields behind, in I which the French windows were , marked with an X; a snapshot of | Sheriff Black entering the gate, 1 1 wit* a police car in the and an awe-struck crowd m the ' roadway over which ran the eap--1 tion: "Crowds Flocking to Scene to Mysterious Crime " .
