"I shall begin by feeling quite at home now.” She spoke lightly, but in reality she was deeply interested and even excited. Her father had scarcely ever spoken of the relations who had turned their backs upon him on his marriage. but the girl knew they had aristocratic blood in their veins, and she made up her mind that now she would try and trace the con- nection, if any. between her Deans, and the Deans who were connected with Lochrain. “I won’t mention it to Mr. McGow- an,” she said to herself; “it would seem boastful and silly. but I shall enjoy feeling like a kind of daughter of the house, and I hope Lord Loch- rain will come. I should like to see what he is like, in case he should turn out to be a sort of forty-second cousin. although he will never know.” When at last Mrs. Warden had led the girl up the winding stnne stair- way of the "haunted tower." to the roam which was to be hm own. lil- anmh thanked the ghasts to whom spt-th thanked the ghosts to whom :he owed slH‘h delightful quarters.

Why should you? There’s nothing to frighten you here " “Of course not, and shan’t be in the least afraid.” answered Elspeth stoutly.

This bed 'was, of course, invisible from the outer ,room. as the wainscoted wall hid it ifrom the alcove, therefore Elspeth iwas practically in possession of a fiseparate sitting-room. The glass doors :were sliding doors therefore they did gnot interfere in passing to and fro, and could always be left open. The furniture of the big outer room was admirable, Elspeth thought, although {it was of many different periods and f,ha.d perhaps been relegated here, be- ;cause it had made place for some- ,thing better elsewhere. There were ,two or three wonderful old chairs, a 'charming table with claw feet, an ancient “secretary book-case bureau,” .with glass doors, behind which the I covers of old-fashioned books showed, and a tall screen of beautiful, though faded, embossed leather, which hid a Etoo modem dressmg-tnhle from View. .

' There was a rose silk-shaded lamp on the. table, which the servant who brought in the tray obligingly lit; but' 'though the {lame within made the thin silk look like a bouquet of roses, the wainscoting drank up the light, and it seemed to Elspeth, sitting at !the table with a volume of Scott, ;chosen from the secretary book-case, .that the black walls were closing in around her as darkness fell. She ijumped up, and extravagantly lit the ltwo candles on the pretty, old-fash- lioned dressing-table, but the differ- ence they made was scarcely notice. { ably. They looked like fire-flies in the igloom, and the girl began to wonder iwhether, after all, she were quite so lucky as she had thought, in having lthe haunted tower at Lochrain to herself. She could not remember having such a dainty and well-served din- .ner, and it ought to have been deli- lcious to think that she could do as she pleased with her time until to- morrow morning at 9. How nice it would be to read until she was sleepy, and then to dream in that wonderful old bed with the great ruffled linen pillows ! man life save her own could come. She read, fitfully, until a SOft-VOlCt‘Ll clock on the narrow mantel over the big fireplace had struck 11, and it was nearly 12 before she had cud- sheets, the girl felt very wideawake, though after the long, exciting day she had passed, sleep ought to have come quickly. She had left the glass doors pushed wide open, and ,the al- cove which she faced as she lay was white with the light of a late-rising “I’m glad I don’t believe in ghosts!” she said to herself. “On such a night”â€"â€"- The sentence broke 'off short in Elspeth’s thoughts, and Lher heart gave a leap. Just behind her head there was a new sound, which neither mice nor rats could have made, a queer, metallic sound, 1 like the clinking of a chain or a jing- iling of keys one against another. :0nce and again it came; then, the ttop of a high heel on a stone stair. The girl’s blood knocked at her temples. She sat up in bed and lis- tened through the thick beating in 'her ears.

A faint cry followed, sounding as if it came from some- where above, and again the tap. tap. tup_of heels. I Al,_'_ Elspeth did not sit up in bed this Lime. She lay still as if frozen; her eyes staring wide, her ears strained to catch a tioubled murmur of voices. It was as if a man and wom- an talked together, and then came footsteps mingled with the metallic ‘ clinking in which the girl had tried i to disbelieve. ! “cwâ€"vvvv v .- She no longer struggled to be brave. Cold and shaking with terror she sprang out of bed, and ran, pat- tering on het bare feet. out into the tower room. A- There in the moonlight which fil- tered through the two windows left uncurtained, she could see the ob- jects which had already become fa- miliar to her eyes. Somehow, they did the details of life. soon to be her everyday lite. “Nonsenseâ€"nonsense â€" nonsense !" she repeated angrily, half aloud, glad to hear the sound of her own voice. “It’s nothing. What could it be un- less I dreamed it? Oh, why can’t I geg this lamp iigiited?” ‘ ,L£_A£_.. ---w cw"â€" Soon she had the rosy glow shining through the fleecy silk of the lamp shade, but not satisfied with that, she must have all the candles as were a comfort, suggesting as they well. The light was like a friend. She could think now, ask herself ques- tions, and answer reasonably._ V- V ¢.v What had the housekeeper told her? That she would be alone in the tow- er at night. In a room on the ground floor, the hotel carpenter worked by day; in the room above that, furni- ture and luggage were stored. Next, came her own floor, and over itâ€" what? Mrs. Warden’s explanations had gone no further; but Elspeth had noticed that the newly restored, winding staircase ended outside her room. The way beyond was blocked up with brick, therefore there could have been no voices. no footsteps, no tapping of heels. She must have dreamed the sounds. Besides, even it the staircase leading to the floor above were not obstructed, the walls were far too thick for noises such as she had fancied to penetrate to her room; and, at all events that alcove where the bed stood was not a place people would pass in going up the stairs. Butâ€"it there were such things as ghosts, after all? 1‘ Ala- “w câ€"-vâ€"- -w' _ No, she would not let her thoughts turn that way. If she did---if she once indulged herself in such foolishness, there would be an ‘end to the peace and pleasure in this tower room. to which she had looked forward. She would be sensible, but there was no use in going back to bed, until she should feel sleepy. She would grow more and more nervous lying there, imagining stupid things. Just, for this one night she would allow herself to sit up and read. and to-rnorrow she would probably find out some per- fectly simple explanation of the sounds which had seemed so ghostly. She would explore a little; and under- stand her surroundings thoroughly, before another night should fall.“ ”vanv ‘--- ‘- She tookmnp â€"the volume of Scott which she had begun to read at din- ner, but, as if to prove that she was not mistress of her nerves, she started so sharply at the noise of a'scamper- ing rat behind the wainscot, that the book fell to the floor. It lay open, on its face, and a square bit of blank paper escaped from some hiding place among the yellow, musty-smelling 08268. V VI). Elspeth picked up the scrap, and after all it was not blank. Upon the side which had lain next the floor, some one had sketched the face of a young boy. The penciled lines had faded. the paper was the color of old ivory, and the collar and tie suggest- ‘ ‘ - I' I A A _I,__ A: _--A "V'Jo "N“- ---- v-â€"â€" _, __ ed by a few light strokes were of quaint fashion. But the face was strikingly handsome, and so indivi- dual as to convince Elspeth that as a likeness the little sketch must have been a success. In one corner there were initials, and a date, but they had been blurred either deliberate- ly or by accident, and Elspeth held the paper close to the light without being able to decipher them. Sudden- ly as she studied the faint lettering, something seemed to fall from above, past her eyesâ€"something swift and small. trum which the light struck a gleam as it from a ruby, and at the same instant the ruby was shattered Ill :1 red splash upon the Sketch. With a cry Elspeth sprang to her :cct. still mechanically holding the hit of paper. The pictured face of the boy was stained red; there was a red .iquid smear on he! thumb and fin- :rcr. and as she stared, horrified, 'lnmfounded. again there was a swift, ruby flash before her eyes.
