OCTOBER'S

October gave a party. The leaves by-hundreds" came The Ashes, Oaks and Maples, anil leaves of ev.?ry name. The sunshine spread a carpet, and everything was grand; Miss Weather led the dancing; Professor Wind the baud. The Chestnut came in yellow, the Oaks in crimson dressed; The lovely Misses Maple, In purple, looked their best, All balanced to their partners, "and gayly fluttered by; The sight was like a rainbow new fallen from the sky. Then in the rusty hollows, at hlde-anj-seek they played. The party closed at sundown and everybody stayed. Professor Wind played louder; they flew along the ground. And then the party ended in jolly ,4hand.s all round."

The Leaping Sword

"The only thin? that llveth there la a naked leaning sword.' "I have asked you to come down, Mr. Northhrook. because a friend told me how much help you were to Lor ence hi a very dillicult affair, that she could not have confided to any ordinary lriend or adviser. I am In a diIkuity as great as hers, but 1 tun almost afraid to hope that you eaii do as much for me." "I-er. me hear at least what Is wrong, then I can judge. If I see no likelihood of being able to help, I will tell you ro at once." "The trouble has to do with my only daughter. Sl Is a delicate girl, highly strung and excitable, and It was en her account 'that I came here. The doctors said she had been going out too much, and needed ierfect rest and sea air. Well, she has them both here, but so far she Is distinctly wors?, not better, than when we came." "Have you discovered any reason for this?" "None. She tells me she likes the place, and I believe she does. It is r. very o!d house, as you will have noticed and she takes the greatest Interest in It. She has explored every nook and corner. Put she Is more restless and excitable here than she was In London. I can't understand it, it seems so strange. I am sure something Is worrying her, but she won't confide in mo." Mrs. Drummond's tone was fretful and despairing. She was a normal woman beicif, and she felt distinctly aggrieved at having a daughter who did not lake after other girls. "I ben I am afraid It Is hardly Hk?ly she will In me, as I am a perfect stranger to her." "SV might if she thought you sympathetic and found-out that you have similar taste to her own. She was 8 ! ways an Imaginative girl, Inclined to dabhle in spiritualism and that sort of thing, and as you have devoted your I'.fc to psychical research I thought you mlfcbt be able to understand her 1 f.h't" "I will see what I can do, but I am ret very hopeful. In auy case, don't let her suspect that I am anything mote than an ordinary visitor, or you will put her on her guard if she really has something to conceal." While they were talking the door opened, and Ilelcu Drummond came ii Korthbrook saw a tall, slender gir, with a dazzling complexion nud red hair. She did not belong to the iniiilmate, anaemic tjpe of Invalid, that was evident. Indeed, at first glance, oa would hardly have thought that anything was the matter with lier. But to a trained Intelligence like Northbrrok's she soon betrayed herself. lie saw how restless she was; how ul-seii-mlnded. She could not keep slU for long at a time; she was constantly moving about, though apparently wiih mt any object. No doubt she was too finely organized to stand the strain of i Tiondon season as some girls can, hut there must be something more thin thrt. She did not look tired or exhausted, but over alive. She suggested tJe idea of being on the lxk-otit for something or somebody. She could not settle to anything. There was expectation in her air. "There may le quite an ordinary explanation of all this," North brook thought. "She may have left someLody In London In whom she Is more than a little interested." lie discreetly questioned Mrs. Drummond on this point. "She had a good deal of attention," waa the reply, "as you see she Is an attractive girl.- But there was only one man of whom she took any particular notice, and I persuaded her to give him up. Ills name was Douglas Vanslttart. He was a dangerous man, as fascinating as he was worthless. I think It was only n girlish fancy and she has forgotten him." Northhrook did all he could to make friends with Helen, and he was successful up to a certain point. She was I nuite ready to talk to hiin on different subjects, to have him stroll by her side ! when she was gathering flowers for the house, to trent him generally as a pleasant acquaintance: but that was all. He had not reached her real self yet; he knew that. He knew, too, that It was quite time somebody did. There was some adverse Influence at work. What It was he could not guess per haps she did not know herself but her mind preyed on her body. Tluy were standing one evening on the terrace that overlooked the sea. It was a favorite walk with Helen. She liked to pace up and down between the old house and the gray, rolling Atlantic, whose waves dragged ever at the - j rocky shore, as though they would tear It away. "This will not he a cheerful outlook a month or two hence,". . Northhrook said. "It Is a little overwhelming even now on a summer night, there is such a sense of space and loneliness; you hear nothing but the sea and the wind. But In the cold grayness of winter it would be nothing less than formidable. There" are some places that seem as if they ought to be left to themselves. They are not meant for huinau habitation." "It nas a woudrful fascination, I think," the girl said, dreamily. "You are so cut off from the world that you almost forget it Is there. You forget Its hard matter-of-factness, its limited views. Y'ou could Imagine anything here; all things seem possible." -s "You believe In the Influence of places? So do I. But I believe In the influence of things as well things made by man. For Instance, that old house there," nodding his head backwards, "Impresses me almost as much as the sea that rolls at Its feet. It has stood there two or three hundred years at least, what a history It must have! Think of the Joys and sorrows the sin and wickedness perhaps that It has known; all shut up within

those gray stone walls, to become part and pane! of its existence." He heard her draw her hrcath hard. "I go farther than you," she said. i think it is the most wonderful thing here the most wonderful and terrible. It impresses me more than the sea and the silence and the lonliness. It Is so old and secret, It knows so much, above all it Is so alive" The word slut out, as though she felt the full force of it; as though it would not be kept back. She stood, with clasped hands, looking up at the old house, on Its' rocky pinnacle, bare, isolated, defiant in Its strength; a home worthy of men. Looking at it thus, It had no ived of speech to impress the beholder; every stone held a memory and a voice. "Do you know that saying, 'Thou art the soul of thy house, and he who after thee Inhabits it will know thee?" she asked softly. "Since I have beeu here I have discovered for myself how true that Is. But you will laugh at me and think me fanciful and romantic. And yet standing here, as we do now, do you think the idea" Is so far-fetched?' "I shall not laugh," he said quietly. "I don't think everything absurd that cannot be proved and catalogued. I believe that there Is as much or more left for us to learn as we already know, and the great discoveries of the future will be In the spiritual, not In the material world. But can't you tell me more? I am very much Interested iu such theories." "It Is difficult to put anything so vague Into words," she said hesitating, "and yet I should like to tell somebody who understood who might advise me, perhaps. I have felt so helpless, I have been afraid to speak, for fear of being laughed at. I thought at roOR CREATURES OX HOARD THE DOOMED SHIP. first that I was ill und fanciful, and that the feeling would wear off. But It doesn't," emphatically, "it grows stronger every day." "What Is It?" Northhrook asked gently. He saw how agitated she was. The long white hands were clasped with nervous Intensity, the, slight figure' quivered from lead to foot. "(Jive me some Idea. I have made a study of such tilings, I shall understand." "Well!" slowly, "ever since we came here, I have felt that the house was taking hold of me that it influenced me !n an unaccountable way. I don't seem to belong to myself. I think things I never thought before; Ideas come that are quite new to me. I seem to be living In another world. I have fought against the influence, but It is stronger than I. It is that the struggle between the new and the old, the sense of bewilderment of fear," dropping her voice, "that makes me so restless and unhappy. I know If I told my mother, she would .take me away at once. But I don't exactly want to go; I love the place In a way. I feel repelled and attracted by it at the same time." "To what does the influence tend?" he asked. "Does It lead you in any direction? Would you describe- it as good or bad?' "I have wondered," she said abruptly, without answering his question. "who the people are to whom the house belongs, the real owners, I mean. We took It over from somebody who was only renting It and had got tired of 1t in a few months. I have fancied that the old family those who built the house and lived here for generations must have been a wild, turbulent race; that they cared little about any laws either of God or man. I feel I know," with conviction, "that evil has been done here that lias not yet been atoned for." "It would lie easy to find out who the owners are. There isn't a village or a house near, but I could write to the agents for you and make Inquiries: It ," Northhrook stopped short. Helen Drummoned was not listening She was staring witn dilated eyes across the sea to where tue uiacü Rocks stood out, dark and menacing, at the bend of the cliff. Many a home had had cause to remember those rocks that took toll of so many brave ships. but to-night the sea that lapped round them held no threat of danger. It was perfectly calm. "What is it?" he asked quickly, "What are you looking at?" He saw that she was holding her breath under the strain of some Intense excitement Her eyes were wide with fear and wonder, and her face was a gray white. "What is it?" he said again. "What Is the matter? You alarm me," and he put his hand on her ami to draw her away. Put she shook it off. "Don't you see?" she whispered hoarsely, her eyes never relaxing their gaze, "don't you see' it Ihe Gaming sword? There! flashing to wid fro In front of the Black Kocks, a great sword of white fire. Oh, how terrible!" and she shuddered convulsively. But there Is nothing," Northhrook

said In amazement. "I can see the rocks quite clearly, but there is nothing else. Come back to the house. You are tired and overwrought. Your nerves are playing you a trick. It is a thing that often happens, you must not be fr'ghtcncd. It will pass off directly." "You don't understand," she said impatiently. "I- ah!" drawing a long breath, "it has gone now." Her whole figure relaxed as after an Intense strain and she almost feil on to a seat close by. "You don't believe me," she said, more quietly, in a fewjnoineuts, but I saw it plainly enough. It s a warning, but few people can see It, only one now and again. The Drummonds arq a Highland race, you know, and I heard so many strange things In my childhood that this old story elocs not seem as Impossible to me as to you perhaps." "Oh, there is some legend connected

with the rocks, then?" "Yes. I found It ill an old manuscript n the library here. The story says hat wheu a ship Is going to be wreck - od on the Black Rocks the flaming sword flashes out. striking up and lown, as though it struck at bnman ife. Nobody has ever heen saved by the warning, because the sword Is never seen by those to whom it means danger or death. There was a frag ment of verse which I have oftcu thought of since: "It gjunts the sins of, all men there, and Slays the red-stained horde The ghosts of all the sins of men must Know the whirling sword. "But don't you see how likely you were in your present, disturbed nervouh condition to imagine you saw the sword after reading that storv? You have been shut up in this wild place, in the midst of everything cal culated to stimulate the imagination and turn it iu the direction of mystery and psychological problems. I think you must acknowledge that there may be quite a simple explanation of your vision." "Y'ou mean that It was pure fancy i'" she said, quietly. "Well! I won't ar gue about It Walt a few days and see, If anything happens." But, they had not to wait so long. About 1 o'clock that mornlrg. at the turn of the tide, the wind rose, rushng shorewr.rd with the sea like a giant let loose. In what seemed an Incredibly short time It was blowing n gale. Northhrook could not sleep for the noise, so he got up and went down to the gallery, which commanded an extensive view of the coast. A moon fly ing across a wild sky gave him a glimpse now and again of an evil-look ing sea, a mass of black-gray water, foajulng with white. He had not stood there more than a few minutes, watch ing sea and sky grow every moment more dark and threatening, when he heard footsteps behind him. He turn ed and saw Helen. "I haven't been to sleep at alf," she said, In - a tumbling whisper, "I couldn't I was too restless. I felt that something was waiting outside in the night, that it would get loose be fore morning and It has. When I heard you go down, I got up, too. It was horrible lying there without any body to speak to, listening to the wind and the sea and thinking of the flam ing sword." . He wrapped her cloak more closely round her, and they stood looking out nto the darkness without a word. The old house was so intensely quiet that it seemed to be listening with' them. Northhrook had not acknowledged to himself that he expected anything, lliat he anticipated any disaster, and yet he stood there. -as silent and mo tionless as his companion. The darkness grew of an Iuky deep ness, the night was as black as a wolf'i throat; they could see nothing, but still they did not think of moving. They stared out. ns though under a pell.
