I, Beatrice Daniels, make the following confession in the face of imminent death, being unable longer to live and bear the burden of my crime. My husband threat- ens to murder me if I confess our crime. and I myself would choose death at my own hands rather than languish in a nth on. which is the fate my confession would bring upon me if I lived to face it. There- fore when this paper is found and read 1 shall be dead, either having taken my own life or having been murdered. The child. Euniceâ€" Kinross started as at this instant his car was suddenly caught by a faint sound in the corridor Without-the sound, he thought, of an approaching light step. In a moment he had blown out his light and stepped down from his chair, folding and thrusting the paper into his pocket as he did so. One quick glance about him: and he slipped behind the high headboard of the old fashioned bed. There he waited mo- tionless for the appearing of the spirit or whatever it was that was coming. for the sound of approaching steps on the bare wooden floor of the hall was There were the novels of Scott, Du- mas, Dickens, Thackeray. George Eliot and Charlotte Bronte, the tales of Poe, Macaulay’s “England," Gibbon’s “Rome,” Carlyle's “French Revolu- tion,” the plays of Shakespeare. many of the modern English and American poets, the works of Spenser, Milton and Pope, the “Canterbury Tales" and Johnson’s “Lives of the British Poets." Suddenly as he turned a leaf his eye fell upon, not a printed page, but a sheet of letter paper, yellow with age. closely covered with a feminine band- writing. He turned toward his lamp and read: The rest of the roomâ€"a bedchamber furnished in handsome old mahogany- was not in any way noteworthy save that there was something in its gener- al aspect which seemed to give evi- dence of a higher grade of people than the Morningstars. There was nothing sufficiently grewsome about it. at least in the matter of its appointments. to suggest either a murder or a ghost. True, he felt an atmosphere of uncan- niness about the place hard to account for except on the theory that his it... agination, tilled with the account of the deed of horror these walls had witnessed. colored the room with all the somberness of the tale. He now turned his attention to the tomnost row of books, which was out of his reach. It consisted of a set of Balzac. He mounted a chair and, taking down a volume, was a little surprised to find that it was a French edition. The book was thick with dust, and its removal from the shelf had sent a little cloud of dust into his eyes. He had a passing wonder in the fact that the top shelf alone was dusty. The ghost herself, it she appeared in the course of his vigil, would not give him a greater shock of surprise than he received as his eye fell upon the op- posite wall of the room. The last thing he would have expected to find in the vicinity of the Morningstar farm con- fronted himâ€"a bookcase filied with books, a little library of classics. for even across the width of the room he could read the gilt lettered names, Shakespeare. Milton, Spenser. Eliot. Browning and the rest. Taking down a volume at random, he had a vague instinctive surprise at finding no dust on it. The fact had no definite significance at the mo- ment, but later, in the light of other developments, he recalled the circum- stance. He had soon made a mental inven- tory of the lower shelves. The books were in good condition, though they showed signs of having been handled considerably. He turned the pages of the Balzac. It, too, however, showed signs of hav- ing been read. for it bore several marked passages. been broached between them again. so he had taken the law into his own hands, and soon after the family re- tired he carried his kerosene lamp down the long corridor which cut oi! the haunted part from the rest of the house and reached the fatal room. “The parents of Eunice were at least not illiterate,” he concluded. “Perhaps the ghost can’t read French, but enjoys the English clas- sics.” CHAPTER XV.

Her face was bright with color now, and her eyes were brilliant. He aw almost with amusement Jhat she found no She sank limpl’ against the bed. “I :hougbt.” she breathed. “that you were it." Be carefully raised himself from his st00ping position and leaned against the wall. How was he to reveal him- self without too greatly startling her? The shock or fright of suddenly he- holdlng a man in the room when she supposed herself alone-at the hour of midnight, tooâ€"might actually injure her. Yet he must not any longer leave her unaware of his presence. He stepped out into sight as he spoke. She had sprung to her feet and stood panting with alarm. her eyes wide and startled. her cheeks white. He spoke again in a matter of {act way. calculated to disarm her fear. "I’m very sorry I’ve frightened you. I came here to meet the ghost. Are you it?” he smlled. He heard the latch of the door move and the door open and close very soft- ly. The room was in absolute dark- ness. so of course he could see noth- ing. The light step came across the room to the front of the bed. and then suddenly a match was struck (he had a hasty doubt as to whether ghosts ever found it necessary to use match- es). and a faint llght spread through the room. A silence followed. There was no further movement or sound of any sort. He waited for what seemed to him a long time. At last he stooped and peeped through a crack in the headboard. His eyes were caught by the light of a candle burning on the wide top of the footboard. And seated Turk fashion on the bed, her cheeks planted on her palms, her elbows on an open volume on her lap. °was a feminine figure clad in a blue calico wrapper. with two thick braids of beautiful fair hair hanging over her shoulders. Eunice! For a moment he was bewildered. Questions and suppo- sitions fairly jumped over each other in his brain. Whether she had learned of his coming to this room and had followed him thither, why she was not fearful of the place. whether she was walking in her sleep, whether she was Eunice or the specter of Eunice’s motherâ€" But gradually as with strained mus- cles he continued to stoop and gaze at her his confusion cleared to some defl- nite impressions. She was sitting there reading as composedly and quietly as though she were not more at home anywhere in the house than here in this room. She did not appear like one who had come for the first time into a haunted bedchaniher. And there was an indet‘mable something in her way of turning the page of a book which luggested in some suhtle way that she was used to handling books and ac- customed to reading much.

He laughed. “Georgiana also lye-blessed. I should say. I tell you.
