TRiE MYSTERIOUS HODS
IN THREE CHAPTERS.
i GRIPPER: II.
My first quest next morning on lea•-
ing the apartment where I had slept
was for the purpose of ascertaining
taining
whether my bedroom had been again'
entered after I had left it• the previous
evening. I unlocked the door, nd '
tiously looked in. Enough light._ came
throughbetween the drawn cur ains tl0
show ins that the room was apparent
as I left it. I advanced to the window
and found'tbe thread there, unbroken,
and evidently untouched. _ I must con-
fess I felt somewhat disappointed. My
fears had probably exaggerated i ny con-
ceptions of the danger, and I ad an-
ticipated a second visit as mor than
• probable. After thinking, how ver, 1
came to the conclusion that it as bet-
ter as it was. Had my strange visitor
for any purpose entered my room a see -
mid time, and found that I haduitted
it, the effect might have been the re-
verse of favorable to a discovery tof the
trickery, which discovery could hest be
forwarded by my making as little
change in my usual habits as possible,.
It was not improbable, seeing. that iso
suspicion had been aroused by the
knowledge that I had changed my sleep.
ing apartment, that the "ghost" might
be emboldened to pay me a visit on the
following night ; and by that time I
hoped to be able to arrange for the in-
terception of my strange visitor, and the
detection of the trick.
In the course of the morning I had
made up my mind how I should pro-
ceed. Mrs. Weevil generally left) after
breakfast on her errands to the neigh-
boring village or elsewhere, not ge neral-
ly returning for a few hours ; and 1
thought this a good time to obtain an
interview with Andrew, the old gardenn-
er, who, I saw, was engaged trimming
the walks in front of the door. II had
no doubt now that what I had seep had
been also appearing to the servants who
had so suddenly departed on the pre`
vious evening ; and I had no doubt also
that Andrew knew the whole ,story
about the ghost having been again seen
in the house. I opened •the parlor win-
dow; and spoke with him over the
balcony.
"Will _von come up stairs, Andrew ?
I should like• to speak to you."
He stood' for a moment in hesitation,
scratching his head. I think he would
have preferred anything to entering my
house at that moment ; butevidently
he did not see his way to •refusinA. A"
few moments later he was in the draw -i
ing-roorn. I
• had been driven from the pre 'sex.
Brit I, holding btill to My Iiointth t
trick had to do with it res raine his
flow of language, and e" d:avore , by
close questions .g, to find, n '' what he
knew about the daughter ' f Mrs. Ito

"Andrew," I began, with some iriten-'
tional solemnity of manner, "you i see
the position I am in." His expression
indicated that;he oonsidered the post -
tion an exceedingly unpleasant one.
"The story has got about," I went on,
"that this house is haunted." He
turned pale. "You think it is haunted i"
I asked. looking at him fixedly.
He hesitated for a few moments, One
shook his head slowly, and succeeded and
finally in saying ; for

"Be there another ?" he eagerly ask-
ed., as I paused to allow him time for
expression of opinion.
"Yes„' I said ; "there 'is another. Be-
fore I believe in your i aterpretatlou,
Andrew—before I believe it poss bie
that spirits can wander about the world
for no other reason than to frighten peo-
ple, I must test mine.”
His eyes, awakening to new interest,
were looking at mine inquiringly.
I explained at once.
"`What I mean is this. suspect;a
trick. Somebody has a spite against
the owner of this house—somebody has
an interest in keeping it empty."
Andrew was naturally shrewd. As 1
spoke there came into his face a new
look of keenness. He smiled.
"There bas been queer things done,"
he observed with a cautious impar-
tiality.
"You have been here sone weeks," I
said. -"Have yon heard a.hythin:g dur-
ing that time about this house, about
the people who own it ? I am told they
lived here once."
Thus stimulated, Andrew told
that the house and grounds had orig
ally belonged to Lord B . , father
the present lord, whose park was co,
rounded by our front windows. On t
marriage of a favorite sister, with
Roupel, a man somewhat eneath h
in position, he gave her the ouse. He
the married pair lived, in much unha
piness it was said ; and her their on+
child,a daughter,was born. ter running
through his wife's money, t e husband
died. Whon left alone, the widow, and
her now grown-up daughter, determin-
ed to let their House and lve abroad.
The rent of the furnished house. with
its excellent garden, would bring therm
in an income sufficient to enable thetas
to live quietly in some foreign town.
But while this project was being discus-
sed,, the widow died, sudden y and my. -
teriously. An inquest was held. over
'her for strange suspicions were circu-
lated abroad. The verdin; 'was that
she had died of the family omplaint-,
heart disease. But there were those fiot of
who still spoke 'mysteriously about the a Dien
circumstances of the death, and declar- 1 hangin
