BEGIN HERE TODAY A mile from the shore of Lake Huron was the mysterious and ghostly Resur- rection Rock, symbol of some great wrong done in the past, which now became connected with a supernatural force in the mind of Ethel Carew. That morning she came to the home Senior, who had won millions in viol ent struggles for timber lands in nerthern Michigan.

She had been too excited to attribute any signifi- cance to his absence this time; but As he had taken the dogs with him, he probably had been on the lake, for the dogs would not have been able to run except on the ice where the wind had cleared the snow.

Lucas remained at the table only a moment before he proceeded to the front room where, in recent years, family prayer was said each evening after supper, : i While Ethel knelt, listening to her grandfather's voico go on and on, an amazing panic possessed her, She was feeling that the long, deliberate read- ing and now.the endless supplication was for a purpose other than devo- tion, and that purpose was 2 keep her kneeling in that stuffy room with her face to the back of a chair, Sud- denly. she arose and slipped into the hall where she found her coat and cap and skis. She drew breath, when she opened the outer door, as though she bad been stifling; and she went out upon the snow in the direction of the lake. She heard her grandfather's voice shouting after her; but she did mot heed it, and he did not pursue her. It was after eight o'clock and very cold, with a constant wind blowing off the ice. The Rock lay lost in obscur- ity. 'She gazed frequently for the reappearance of the light which she had seen the hour earlier. Its absence filled her with dread. . She turned back to St. Florentin and 'soon heard a shout which she recognized to be Sam Green Sky's voice. When she replied, Sam hasten- ed up, reporting friendidly: "Old man send me after you, awful mad; old man tell you to come right home and stay there." Ethel found her grandfather to be "awful mad" indeed; he met her at the door and ordered her to go to her room and to bed and stay there.

She had only a glimpse before he stepped into the room and turned out the light but, having seen, she gripped hard at the stair rail for an instant to steady herself before she crept back fo her room and shut herself in to think, Kincheloe and her grandfather were planning some deed--some wrong, se- cret act of violence. In no othef way could she account for what she had witnessel 'in that glimpse of her grandfather's face -- vindictiveness, triumph, fear. She heard a whine at her door and the pat of a dog's paw at the panel and, opening the door, she let in Lad and stroked his head. Something mat- ted the white hair under his neck-- something which seemed to have fro- zen and dried there. : When she realized this was blood, she set her fingers to feeling for a cut from which it might have flowed; and when she could find no wound, she clung to Lad, demanding of him: "It was the fox, Lad! You caught the fox! Lad, tell me--tell me, you caught the fox!" But hep"own terrors denied hers her own terrors snatched at her heart and overwhelmed her struggles for calm 'thought. The dried, brown mat in the dog's hair was not about his jaws where it must have been had he caught and killed the fox; it was under his neck where it would have come if Lad had sniffed over some one who lay bleeding. That deed, secret and vioient, which Kinchelo and her grandfather had considered--was it alreauy dope? What sort of deed? "Ah, j'y etais mousquetaire!" The voice, Barney Loutrell's voice, seemed to float to her from far away over the snow; and she seemed to see him, when she shut her eyes, lymg stretched out, with Iad sniffing over him. "They've done it--they've dome it," she repeated again and again to her- self, without yet daring to allow any closer defining of "it." But whatever it was, "it" was done. She waited until dawn was spread- ing over the eastern sky before she went downstairs, carrying her shoes; she put them on and found her skis. The dogs roused and danced about her; she took them out with her and made for the lake. The light had strengthened suffi- ciently to show her the gauat outlines of Resurrection Rock, white and life- less above the lake ice, When she glanced back toward St. Florentin, she saw that some one was following her from her grandfather's house, a man who raust be Kincheloe. Suddenly Ethel changed her plan and swung from the direct line to the little clearing where Asa Redbird lived. "] want you to come right away out to the Rock, Asa," she said. "I'm go- ing there; come after me quick as you can. You understand?" She turned away and started direct- ly for the Rock.
