minute until a quarter before 10,
?when Kelvin came to the door and said
in a tone of disappointment;'
"Tile fellow hasn't shown up."
"There's no use in waiting any lon-
ger," said Reedy. "No Cobb; no deed.
Four title is safe, DIr. Kelvin. The
;whole thing was a fake."
"There is a deed, though," said Don-
ald so softly that no one but Bunn and
I heard him. "And somebody, some-
body, will deliver it here—the same man
Whom I have seen. By heavens, dead
,or alive, he will produce that docu-
ment this night!"
Bunn took me suddenly by the arm,
and 1 could feel that he was trembling
(with excitement.
"There are queer things in this world,
Mr. Harrington," he whispered. "I
don't know just what to expect, do
you?"
"I expect Walmsley's ghost, if you
ask me," said I, with a laugh, and the
remark lacked very little of being per-
fectly sincere.
At 10 o'clock Kelvin gave up the vigil
and summoned us all into the library.
He had .turned up the lights, and the
room was bright.
"I am sorry to have given you all this
trouble, Mr. Barrington," said hp, "but
I had reason to expect a different end-
ing of this affair."
"I don't think that it's ended yet," I
responded. "Donald says that the deed
;will be restored."
"'Well," said Kelvin, "I bope he's
right, I'd like to get the thing off my
mind.- It would be worth money to
me, as I've told you. I've got other
things to think about."
I was well aware that one of the
things to which he referred was my
:own destruction, but this was a time
cif truce in our warfare, and I felt un-
der obligations to let the subject rest.
Indeed, my attention was almost imme-
diately attracted to Donald, who had
advanced to the end of a long and
heavy table of black oak, the top of
;which was bare. He was staring down
at this table, and his attitude was
rigid. Bunn spoke to him twice and
even laid a hand upon his arm, but the
boy did not stir.
Presently, however, he shook him-
Eelf and stood erect.
"I have a curious fancy," he said.
"Mr. Kelvin, may I ask you where you
got this table? It's a queer question"—
"That was in the house," said Kelvin.
"It's very old."
Donald tapped upon it with his fin-
ger.
"What made that mark?" he asked.
The mark extended across a corner
sof the table and may have been ten
inches long. It was quite deep at one
,end and a mere scratch at the other.
"I don't know," said Kelvin, examin-
Ing it. "From the looks of the thing I
should say that it was made a long
time ago."
"Before you were born, my son," said
Reedy to Donald. "Looks as if some-
body had hit it with a cleaver."
Donald drew in his breath through
his closed teeth, and it made a pecul-
iarly'eerie sound. I glanced hastily at
his face, and it wore a very strange
land almost terrifying expression. It
lavas as if he were dead; as if the spirit
had departed out of him.

He stood by the end of the table,
and we fell into a sort of group around
it. The light was above, and it showed
our inverted images in the black and
polished surface.
"It was all in the past," said Donald.
"I feared that it might be so. I cannot
help you, Mr. Kelvin, further than to
assure you that the deed of transfer
once existed and that it came into the
possession of the rightful owner of
this property after having been in the
bands of a rascal. This I judge by the
scene itself. I know nothing of the
people."
"Come!" said Reedy. "That's worth
knowing. Let's hear your story."
Bunn, who was standing beside me,
suddenly leaned upon my shoulder.
"i feel a bit faint," he said and point-
ed down to the reflections in the table,
where for a certainty we all looked
like dead men.
"I'll have to do the best I can," said
Donald, with something like a groan.
"This takes the life out of me, but I'll
have to go through with it somehow.
It's as if I saw this room, but a good
deal different, of course. This table is
here, and there is a single candle burn-
ing upon it. Beside the table is a man
sitting in a chair. He seems to have
a sort of light sack coat ou over a part
of a military uniform. He is very
broad in the shoulders. He's one of
the strongest looking men that ever I
saw, though not very tall, I should
judge. He has a little black mustache
that is too small for his face. It looks
ridiculous on a man with such a heavy
jaw."
"That's Westcott —Norman West-
cott!" gasped Bunn. "When I was a
boy"—
Donald went o s without seeming to
bear this interruption.
"I never saw a man sit so still," said
he. "It startled me at first. I thought
he was dead. After quite a long time
another man comes into the room the
Ivan whom I described to you this
morning. Ile looks scared; he has
a pistol in his hand. He comes in
by that window, and the other Aman
seems to see him without looking that
way.
"']lave you brought it?' he asks
without a movement except of his lips.
The other seems to go into a sort of
panic. Iie•walks up to the table like a
crab, the pistol in his left hand and
that side of him coming foremost.
"'Yes; I've got it,' he says, and then
he breaks into a sort of harangue. `No
tricks!' he cries over and over again.
'You'll do as you say—Westcott!'
"That's the officer's name— West-
cott."
"And the other's Walmsley!" exclaim-
ed Bunn.
Donald looked up dreamily.
"Walmsley?" he repeated. "What
was I saying?"
"Keep quiet, everybody," said Reedy.
"Don't break in. This is too big a
thing to be fooled with. 'No tricks;
that's what you said. He was afraid
the other fellow would do him out of
something."
Donald looked flown at the table and
put his fingers lightly upon the scar in
it before he proceeded.
"'You shall have your price, Walms-
ley,'said Westcott, 'and you shall leave
this room with it in your pocket, and I
will not put the law upon you for this
crime. I give you my word as an offi-
cer and a gentleman. Put the deed on
the table.'
" `The money first,' said Walmsley.
"Westeott had had both his hands
under the table. He withdrew the left
hand and threw down a little bag.
Walmsley, still holding his pistol, man-
aged to open the string that fastened
the mouth of the bag, and he poured
out the gold coins upon the table. Then
he counted them off with his right
hand, putting each into his pocket.
"'It's right,' he said, 'and here's the
deed.'
"He took it from the breast of his
coat and laid it before Westcott. As

And Donald laid his finger upon a
certain spot,

that he performed it mechanically in
his terror, forgetting the loss of his

rlaspcd about that bit of paper, even
after the hand fell away from the
arm, severed clean by the strongest
blow I ever saw or dreamed of."
There was a pause during which I
was aware that every one breathed
rather hard, including myself.
"Wahnsley screamed, but not very
loudly," continued Donald. "It was the
quick cry of borror and surprise. He
stared at his own hand, lying there
upon the table. In an instant Westcott
caught him and ripped his right shoul-
der and arm bare. Ile had everything
ready, and be worked with great skill.
Ile put a tight bandage around the aam

thing to the wrist, tying up the severed
arteries, I suppose. When this was
done and the stump wrapped in cloths,
he picked Walmsley up in his arms,
for the man had fainted, and carried
him out through that window."
"'To the doctor's, of course," said
Bunn.-
"I

Donald. "I have seen nothing that
happened outside this room. Wait!"
he cried suddenly. "Westcott is corn-

STAR."
HE affair of the miser's hand
made a great stir. I never have
been able to trace the ways by
which it got into print, but
within thirty+six hours the newspapers
seemed to be full of it. •
I should not have regretted very se-
riously the publication of the exact
' facts, but the controversy which re-
sulted was somewhat annoying. Don-
ald suffered, but he bore it well. He
was beset by interviewers and persons
with cameras; all sorts .of absurd tests
were proposed to him; he received let-
ters from mhny serious minded inves-
tigators and a multitude of cranks, and
there were several proposals from the-
atrical managers who wished to exhibit
him. The photograpbers secured plen- I
ty of snapshots, but the interviewers
were obliged to depend upon their own I
imaginations, fpr Donald would not say
a word to any of them.
All Tunbridge became a debating so-
' eiety, though there was far less skep-
ticism than 1 should have expected.
Dfy main concern is with the attitude
of two persons, both of whom were
witnesses of the manifestations—I re-
fer to Bunn and Kelvin.
° The effect upon Jim Bunn was most
remarkable. I may truthfully say that
. he was never the same man afterward.
He had been profoundly impressed. Y_

he was irritated. "I thank heaven that
