At the sound of his voice the othet wheeled round. "Hello!" he said. "I thought you were the ghost of some old inhabitant. I suppos# I am very ubex: pected?"

But the man did not come forward' as he had expected. He remained close to the door with a hesitation that was unusual in a trained servant. It struck Loder that possibly his stolidity had' exasperated Chilcote sind that possibly Chilcote had béen at ho pains to com- ceal the exasperation, The idea caused him to smile involuntarily. "Come Into the room, Renwick," he said. "It's uncomfortable to sce you standing there. 1 want to know if Mrs. Chilcote has sent me any message about tonight." Renwick studied bim furtively as he came forward. "Yes, sir," be said. "Mrs. Chilcote's maid ssid that the cat riage was ordered for 10:15, and she hoped that would suit you." He spoke reluctantly, as if expecting a rebuke. At the opening sentence Loder had turncd aside, but now, as the man fin- ished, he wheeled round again and looked at him closely with his keem, observant eyes. ii "Look here," ho said.
