"Yes," said Elspeth, turning quick-
ly, to see, not a servant, but a pale -
faced, black-eyed young man, vein
well dressed in "dark blue serge.
"I ata Mr. Grant, Mr. McGowan's
'assistant," lie announced, with Itis hat
•off. "Mr, McGowan wished ire to
meet and drive you back, so that on
the way I might prepare you for
some of your duties, and save time. "
"It will be very kind of you," said
the girl.
"I shall be glad to help you in any
way I can," he answered, and looking
up, Elspeth caught a flash in the
dark, deepset eyes which contradicted
the white coldness of the face.
"I wonder whether I'm going to
like Mr. Grant or not !" she thought.
The look in his eyes told her that the
pale man was not unaware of the fact
that site was a pretty girl.
The drive• to Loehrain was a wild
.and beautiful one, but Miss Smith's
eulogiums had not half prepared her
for the magnificence of the place it-
self.
"Why, it's like a great castle, and
has the air of being hundreds and
hundreds of years old !" she exclaim -
'ed in intense admiration, when the
dogcart Mr. Grant drove had passed
through a park, and brought them
;into sight of a huge, gray stone pile
ton a slight grassy elevation. But
!even before her companion replied,
'she remembered how Mr. Kenrith had
spoken of "turning the old castle into
a hotel."
"How delightful," the girl went on.
"This is even better than I expected.

,thinking,h
and when, to prove what,
she could do, she had taken down a,
few rapidly dictated sentences, with-,
out an instant's delay or hesitation,'
he expressed himself satisfied.
"You will do very well, Miss
Dean," he said pleasantly. "To -mor-
row morning your work will begin.
What remains of to -day you will have
to yourself; but some time this even-.
ing, when you are rested after your''
journey, I should like you to come'
here again, to learn what your work
is to be."
"I stat not tired,' said Elspeth light-
ly. "I should be glad to hear every-
thing now, unless you prefer" ----
"That will be better, if you are
equal to it. Well, from 9 in the morn-
ing till 10.30 I shall be obliged if you
will be at my disposal here, to an-
swer letters, as Mr. Grant is engaged
then, and can only help me in the
evening. From 10.30 until 12.30 I have
promised your services to Mr. Een-
rith, who has arrived to -day; that is,
I wired hint I would have an efficient
stenographer to work with him,
which was the principal reason why
I wanted you in such a hurry."
"I beg your pardon, may I come
in?" asked a voice at the door, which
was slightly ajar. It was a man's
voice, and spoke with a marked
American accent.
"Come in, Mr. Trowbridge," replied
the manager politely, and a person of
striking appearance entered; a man
of thirty-two or three, perhaps, tall,
clean-shaven, with thick, fair hair
parted in the middle, dark brows, and
black -lashed, narrow, yet bold, gray
eyes. He was handsome, exceedingly
well dressed, with an air of wealth
and prosperity which was almost ag-
gressive. His glance dwelt for a few
seconds with flattering admiration
upon shabby little Elspeth- yet the
girl was ungrateful enough not to
like the newcomer. ]els},ells thought, "for I suppose 1

Mr, Grant smiled rather grimly.
"There are more gruesome stories
. told about Lochrain as it used to be
in the past than about almost any of
'the feudal houses, which is saying a
;good deal, especially in Scotland.
�' 'Aren't you afraid of ghosts?'"
"Not in the least.I don't believe
in them, though I love ghost stories
dearly," she said.
'Very well, then. I'll tell you
!what I wouldn't have told you other -

hear that your room is in the 'haunt-

"What are the stories about my
?tower?" asked Elspeth.
"Here we are at the door," said
;l Mr. Grant; and she could not guess
from his tone if the evasion of her
question was deliberate or not.
A queer little thrill crept through
her veins, such as she had never felt
before. Something seemed to whisa
per in her ear that experiences—whe-
ther ghostly or not—would come to
her at Lochrain, strange enough to
try the bravest spirit. And yet it
was a fashionable Hydro, full of gay,
pleasure -seeking people, and she was

When at last Mrs. Warden bad led
the girl up the winding stone stair-
way of the "haunted tower," to the
room which was to be her own, El-
speth thanked the ghosts to whom
she owed such delightful quarters. If
it had not been for them, surely this
must have been one of the most de-
sirable rooms in the whole great
house, she thought; and if she could,
would have persuaded Mrs. Warden
to tell the story of the tower. But,
as Mr. Grant had done, the house-
keeper grew suddenly reserved when
the subject of the haunted tower was
mentioned. Elspeth did not wish to in-
sist, but she was becoming very curi-
ous.
As the housekeeper was on the
point of leaving her alone, having
promised that dinner should be sent
up at 7.30, the old woman turned on
the threshold. "I hope you won't be
timid here," she said. "It is a bit
lonely, for the room under yours has
been turned into a place for storing
luggage and odds and ends of fur-
niture that aren't \canted, and the one
under that is where the carpenter of
the hotel does his work. So there's
nobody but you in the tower at night.

"Everything is settled, then," said
Mr. McGowan, with the relieved sigh
of a very busy man, "except that 1
may add, your salary will be paid at
the end of each week."
As he spoke he touched an electric
bell near his desk, and the youth in
sora, t livery who almost immediately
appeared was sent off post haste to
call the housekeeper.
"'1 do hype she is a kind creature,"
"You seem to have plenty of mil-
lionaires," said Elspeth,
Mr. McGowan smiled. "We are fas-
hionable and successful," said he
contentedly. "I have sometimes
thought, since our season began, what
a rich haul jewel thieves could make
if—" he checked himself and frown-
ed, as if annoyed at his own garrul-
ousness with a girl who was, after all,
a stranger. "But," he added mote

INGERSOLL AND WHISKEY.
Col. Clark E Carr has written an
exceedingly interesting book entitled
"My Day and Generation." In one of
the chapters he gives an account of ho w
Mrs. Ingersoll cared the great orator of
his weakness for stroug drink. It is one
of the best incidents set forth in reoent
biography:
In those earlier days Robt. G. Inger-
soll was given to drink and afterward to
infidelity, and both had a bad effect on
public sentiment, for Illinois does not
like men who drink or men who scoff.
From the one isgersoll was rescued,
but not from the other. It was his
wife who broke up the drink habit. I

"Sir. Ingersoll," she said, "yen are
either going to stop drinking or I'm
going away with the children. We
can't stay here with a whiskey -drinking 1
husband and father. Take your chase,
and take it now."
The colonel pleaded for delay, hat the

"Decide right now," she oommanded.
"Whiskey or wife and children? Which 1
is it?"
The colonel pulled himself up and

That was the lase of the whiskey
