"That's less than three weeks off

"Well; you tell 'em, just the same."
Aird that, is hew I dimissed it. "Tell
'em we've got to go to work our-
selves."
"By the way, old man Schmick and
his family haven't been paid for
nearly two years. They have put in
a claim. The late owner assured
them they'd get their money from

"Discharge them, at once," said I.
"We can't jet on without them,"
protested he. "They know the ropes
so to speak, and, what's more to the
point, they know all the keys. Yes-
terday I was nearly two hours in
getting to the ,kitchen for a confer-
ence with Mrs. Schmick about the
market -men.- In the first place, - I
couldn't find the way, and in the

see him here.' ,
If we lose them we also are Iost,"
was his sententious declaration. 1
elieved him.
On the fifth day of our occupancy,
Britton reported to me that he had
evised a plan by which we could
tilize the tremendous horse -power
cpresented by the muscles of those
azy giants, Rudolph and Max. He
suggested that we. .rig up a huge
Windlass at the op of the incline,
with stout steel cables attached to a
mall car which 'could be hauled up
the cliff by a thitherto wasted human
nergy, and tss readily lowered. It.
ounded feasible and I instructed him
o have the' extraordinary railway
uilt, but to be sure that the safety
voice clutches in the cog wheels were
ound and trusty. It would prove to
e an infinitely more graceful mode
1 ascending the peak than riding up
n the donkeys I had been persuaded
o buy, especially for Poopendyke and
nIP, whose legs were 'so long that
when we sat in the saddles our knees
idler touched 'our chins or were
pread out so far that we resembled

That evening, after the workman

sought a few moments of peace and
niet in the small balcony outside my
edroom windows. My room was in
he western wing of the castle, t'c-
ng the riv er. The eastern wing
mounted even higher than the one in
which we were living, and was top-
ed by the loftiest watch tower of
hem all. We had not attempted to
o any work over in that section as
et, for•the simple reason that Herr
chmick couldn't find the keys to the
Dors.

pers. After a few minutes, she ap-
parently forgot thedog and lifted her
hand to adjust something in her hair.
He again barked at me, quite fer-
ociously for a chow: This time it
was quite plain'to her that he was
not barking•at the' now shadowy
moon.- She peered over the atone
balustrade and an. instant later dis-
appeared from view through the high,
narrow window.
Vastly exercised, f set out in quest
of Herr Schmick, martialing Poopen-
dyke as I went along, realizing that
I -would have to depend on his Ger-
man, which was lass halting than
mine and therefore, more likely to
dovetail with that of the Schmick,,
neither of whom spoke German be-
cause they loved it but bechuse they
had to, ;being Austrians.'Vlte found
the four Schmicks in•dhe-vast kitchen -
'watching Britton whileche pressed my
trousers on an ,oak table so large
that the castle must have been built
around it.
Herr Schmick was 'weighted down
with the keys of the castle, which
never left his possession day or nigut.
"Herr Schmick,!' said :i, 3ewill you
be so good as to inform me who the
dickens that woman is .aver in the
east wing of the castle?"
"Woman, mein herrn` He almost
dropped his keys. His 'big sons said
something to each other tliat I could
not quite catch, but it sounded very
much like "der duyvil."
"'A woman in a white dress—with
a dog." .
"A dog?" he cried. "But, mein
herr, dogs are not permitted to be in
the castle."
Who is she? - How did- she get
there?"
"Heaven defend us, sir! It must
have been the ghost of—."
"Ghost, your granny!" I cried, re-
lapsing into English. "Please don't
beat about the bush, Mr: Schmick.
She's- over there in the unused wing
which I haven't been allowed to pene-
trate in spite of the feet that it be-
longs to me. • You say you can't find
the keys to that sicii,,pf the castle.
Will you explain how it is that it is
open to strange women and --and
dogs?"
"You must be mistaken, mein herr,
he whinned abjectly. "She cannot he
there. She— �1h, I have it! It
may have been my wife. Gretel!
Have you been in the east—"
"Nonsense!" I cried shortly. "This
won't db, Mr. Schmick. Give me that
bunch of keys. We'll infestigate. I
can't have strange women gallivant-
ing about the place as if they owned
it. This is no try�sting place for
Juliets, Herr Schmick°. We'll get to
the bottom of this at once. Here,,
you Rudolph, fetch n couple of lan-
terns. Max, get n ',ledge or two
from the forge. Th,.re is a forge. I
saw it yesterday our there back of
the stables., So don't try to tell me
there isn't one. If we can't unlock
the doors, we'll smash 'em in.. They're
mine, and I'l1 knock 'em to smither-
eens if I feel like it-"
"I know nothing I know nothing,"
he mumbled, and-t-could.see that be
was miserably upset, - His Sofia tots `
'eyed and glowered and 11'ia wife wrap-
ped and unwrapped her bands in her
apron, all the time' supplicating
heaven to be good to the true and the
faithful.
From what I could gather, they all
seemed to be spore • ,disturbed over
the ,fact that my hallucination ,in-
cluded a dog than by We claim that
I had seen a woman.
"But, confound you., Schmick," I
cried in some heat, 'it harked .at
me."
'Gott in himmel" they all cried,
and, to my surprise, the old woman
burst into tears.
"It is bad to dream of a dog," she
wailed. "It means evil to all of us.
Evil to—."
Come!" said I, grabbing the keys
from the old man's unresisting hand.
"And, Schmick, if that dog' bites me,
I'll hold • you, personally responsible.
Do you understand?"
Two abreast we filed through the
long, vaulted halls, Rudolph carrying
a gigantic lantern and Max a sledge.'
We traversed extensive corridors,.
mounted tortuous stairs and came at
Iength to the sturdy, oak door that
separated the east wing from the
west; a huge, formidable thing
strengthened by Many cross -pieces
and studded with rusty bolt -heads.
Padlocks as large as horse -shoes, cor-
roded by rust and rendered absolutely
impracticable by age, confronted us.
al have 'not the keys," said old
Conrad Schmick sourly. "This door
has not been opened in my time. It
is no use."
It is no use,'" repeated his grizzly
sons, leaning against the mouldy walls
with weary tolerance.
"Then how did the woman and her
dog.get into that part of the castle?"
I demanded. "Tell me that"
Tliey shook their heads, almost com-
passionately, as much as to say, "It
is always best to humor a mad man."
"And the baby," added Poopendyke,
turning up his coat collar to protect
his thin neck from the draft that
smote us from the halls. -
"Smash • those padlocks, Max," I
commanded resolutely.
Max looked stupified at his father
and, the old man looked at his wife,
and then all four of them looked at
me, almost imploringly.
"Why destroy a perfectly good pad-
lock, mein herr?" began Max, twirl-
ing the sledge in his hand as if it were
a bamboo cane.
"Hi! Look out there!" gasped
Britton, in some alarm. "Dtfn't let
that thing slip!"
Dosen't this castle belong to me?"
I demanded, considerably impressed
by the ease with which he swung- the
sledge. A very dangerous person, I
began to perceive.
It does, mein herr," shouted all of
theem gladly, and touched their fore-
locks.
Everything is yours," added old
Conrad, with a comprehensive sweep
of his hand that might have put the
oohole universe in my name.
"Smash that padlock, Max," I said
after a second's hesitation.
"I'll bet he can't do it," said Brit-
ton, ingeniously.
Very reluctantly Max bared his
great arms, spit. upon his bands, and,'
with a pitiful look at his parents,
prepared to deal the first blow upon
the ancient padlock. The old couple
turned their heads away, and put their
fingers to their ears, cringing like
things about to be whipped.
"Now, one—two—three!" cried I, ,
affecting an enthusiasm I didn't feel.
The sledge fell upon the padlock
and rebounded with almost equal
force. The sound of the crash must
have distrubed every bird and bat
in the towers of the grim old pile. 1,
But the padlock merely shed a few !
scabs of rust and rattled back into its
customary repose.
"See!" cried Max, triumphantly.
"'Tt cannot he broken." Rudolph, his
broad face beaming, held the lantern
close to the padlock and showed me
that it hadn't been dented by the
blew.
"It is a very fine lock," cried old
Conrad, with a note of pride in his
voice.
I began to feel some pride in the
thing myself. "It is( indeed," I said.
"Try once more, Max."
It seemed to me that he struck
with a great deal more confidence
than before, and again they all utter-
ed ejaeylations of pleasure. I caught
Dante. Schmick in the act of thanking
God with her fingers.
"See here," I exclaimed, facing
them angrily, "what does all this
mean? You are deceiving me, all of
you. Now,lets have the truth—every
word of it—or out you go to -morrow,
the whole int of you. I insist on
knowing who that woman is, why she
is here in my hou—my castle, and—
everything, do you understand?" '
Apparently they didn't understand,
for they looked at me with all the
stupidity they could command.
"You try, Mr. Poopendyke," I said
giving it up in despair,' Ie sought
to improve on my German, but I think
he made It worse. They positively
