CHAPTER XXV. Early in the winter i>efore the r w h n y fall of snow, there had been a slight change in the household. A now iuuunder-huusentaid had conte, and at the tine' of her arrival, Miss Fah• - bank had remarked to ma that site was a south -country woman, and that she had taken her from the inn at Kunrton, where, however, she had only been two months, as slut did not care to stay then., but wished to get into a lady's service. I. re- member Ihat Miss Barbara remarked to me that she hoped the girl would do, that she seemed willing and re- spectable, but that it was rather an experiment taking her out of a coun- try inn. n To all appearance, Elizabeth -that was her name ---slid her duties quiet- ly, and was likely to retain her place. I did not, of course, take any particular notice of her. It was about this time, however, that something unusual in the girl's manner suddenly arrested my atten- lion, She slushed up quickly if any one spoke to her, and started if one cause across her unexpectedly about the house. And once I met her in the dusk going along the passage outside my bedroom, carrying some- thing ]ting in her hands over which she hastily flunge• t ap- proached. her anon as I alp pt'oac'hed.'The house, as I have said before, was old and rambling, and many of the rooms were unin- habited and unfurnished. The two sisters slept in adjoining rooms, with Ellinor's maid ie•yomd them at. one side of the house, and my bedroom was quite at thoppositepositV extremity. Thor'was doorf ( a at the end o the passage Whorl. I slept, which led into a mum used as a ltunbei-room, which had been in old days a pats - sage into the chapel now ruined, and 1'itre tens still a door at the further end, outside which were the broken stone steps. iow'n which one might scramble. if so disposed, on to the flour of t hr now grass -grown chapel. in this count were kept old furniture and boxes, and no doubt a misc•ri- laraeous collection of rubbish of all }cit:ds.

There was a pile of boxes and lum- ber et ore end, and one large trunk was pulled out from the rest, and Covered over with an old horse - cloth: en empty tumbler and a plate ('oatttilting seine fragments of food, and some cutlet. bones ---I swiftly re- collected Hutt we had cutlets for din- nert ^R tt r In the dining -room -stood uertr to o the od n 6 floor. I had ventured into the room whilst making these observations, and now noticed suddenly that the door at the further end, which led out only on the broken steps in the ruined chatpel, was also unfastened, and was swinging gently backwards and forwards with the wind -of course it was tlit' draught from this outer door which had blown open the 110101' door into the house. It struck me suddenly that Eliza- beth was no burglar in disguise, lout t hat c.he simply pilfered the good things that caner out of the dining - room and brought them up here to eat them at her leisure. With this new theory cul the subject. I retreat- : ori to my own room., carefully clos• - ing all the open doors, and by some instinct of self preservation, born of " nervousness, locking III ' Ow i k v rt bed - g rooms door upon myself for further security. The next ntol•tting when. Miss Bar - barn came' out of the kitchen, after ordering dinner, :;he called me into her sanctum, with a face full of an- noyance. "All the servants are in a comino- tion." she said. I lair so angry with them all. I have no patience with them! The cook declares she saw a ghost last night, tout is sit • - ting in hysterics in the kitchen." "A ghost! What sort of a! ghost?" ".i. am sine I don't know; they were all talking at once, and all dc- clau•ing they would none of thein go to bed to -night. I. told cook I would throw a pail of void water over her if she slid not leave off screaming, and that. threat did stop her hy- sterics!" added Miss Barbara, grim- ly. "She must have dreamt it," I said, musingly; "of course it is all nonsense." "Of course; but as soon as she could speak she declared solemnly 'upon her Bible oath,' she said, that she was wide awake, and heard footsteps going along the passage - that she thought .Vias I•ril:nor :night he ill and something hr wanted, so she got • out of hen and lit hey candle and opened the door, and there she saw a tall figure. wrapped in a long dark cloak disappearing at the fut•- 1lter end of the passage, that would be toward your room, Freda:" Miss 3 y llt.

At these words Elizabeth became suddenlywhite as as her apron, and Mud round htirrit;•dly towards the door, "You may go now," I said to Iter, looking significantly at her; "but if you know anything about this s .cost, you haul much better tell Miss l! airbank." The girl muttered something unin- telligible and left the room hurried- ly. Miss Barbara turned round to the in amazement. "What do you mean about the lumber -room door, Freda? Why did sort not tell ate about it before? and what Tirade her turn so pale?" r laughed. "I suspect that Miss Elizabeth was acting ghost herself," I said, light- ly. "I fancy she is a greedy girl, and pilfers things out of the larder;" and then I toldo 1 n Miss ab u t my finding the plate and the tumb- ler in the lumber -room. To Miss Barbara this discovery seethed no light thing- She was more disturned about it than I could at all see any reason for, "I wish you had told me before," she said, "What business has the girl with that key? I will get. it away front her at once." She rang 1 he bell again and recalled Eliza- beth. "Elizabeth, in case there are any more ghosts about. I wish to keep the key of the lumber -room myself.
