CHAPTER I. t.‘_~ Number 1313. , ' ls Rudolph Van Vechten entered lute outer doorway of his club, thel lhandsome mission clock in the hall; was chiming the three-quarter hour; latter eight. . ; The young man’s thin, sensitive lipsi assumed a rueful curve and his brow {gathered in a scowl. , 3 “Fifteen minutes yet until nine,” he fmuttered in a tone of complaint, star- ling hard at the dial. “Whatever I lshall do until night the gods alone iknow. Plague on such rotten luck!” ' And having thus given audible ex- fpression of his feelings, he dismissed lthe temporary irritation with a re- isigned shrug and sauntered listlessly iinto the luxurious but deserted loung- ling-room overlooking the street, where ihe dropped heavily into a huge, -bil- llowy. leather chair which stood facing one of the windows. He immediately Ediscovered that the chair was insuffer- Iably hot, and bounding to his feet, gglared round for an attendant. None was to be seen; so he shoved lthe stuffy chair awayâ€"it was too heavy to kickâ€"and jerked a cooler land more inviting willow one into its ’place, wherein he once more seated lhlmself. “Somebody ought to kick me for having come here,” he feelingly re- ;marked. Then he turned again to his incipient contemplation of the hot- lempty street. . Van Vechten might have told you, if he had paused to analyze his feel- ings respecting the Powhatan, that his attachment to his club was based upon some sort of sentiment. His slender, modishly attired figure, and his finely chiseled, high-bred features (which were much paler than they should have been) were by no means strange to their present rich and elegant sur- roundings. In point of fact, no mem- lber of the Powhatan more assiduously availed himself of the club’s exclusive tprivileges than did he. Among the small coterie of his intimates and ‘friends, and the much longer list of lacquaintances who would have liked to share the closer relationship, no- body ever thonght of calling for him at ibis own handsomely appointed bache- lor apartments in the Kenmore until the Powhatan Club had first been tried, and even then not before noon. ;Because, prior to that hour, all at- in the hall strike nine.

So be con- tinued to watch him, albeit but hazily' conscious of the fact, because his thoughts were occupied with matters of vastly more importance to himself.f That is to say, at the time he fancied they were of more importance; subse-, quently his opinions on this score un-' derwent a decided change. , Only a few seconds later, in truth,’ he regretted that he had not given the man more of his attentionâ€"sufficient... at least, to recall something of his appearance. But even at that, he never dreamed how nearly the epi-' sode affected himself at the moment, nor did he have any premonition of the extraordinary events that were to en- sue in the immediate future. The man was walking with a certain halting, indefinite slowness, the while he studied the house numbers, as if in search of a particular one. ' All at once he stopped stock-still. Van Vechten, as it chanced, failed to observe this, for his eyelids, heavy- with loss of sleep, chose this precise second to curtain the scene. Nothing had yet occurred to prick his curiosity. =His lids drooped only for an instant, to be sure; but within that brief space the strange man’s bearing had sud- denly altered. He had thrown off his irresolution, and had gone quickly up .the steps of the house directly oppo-3 ‘__â€".‘_ -*~â€"- fl. may mfim‘m at supposes 012mm OF NAMES can be?” '* f Th eCollingwood Bulletin is fea- What was learned during the wordl turihg the post offices of the less, curious “Deed“! was about 9.11:, County Of Grey, and. from last the information respecting Numberl issue we clip the following refer- i318 that was to be vouchsafed dur- ences to Lamlash, Landerkin and lag the succeeding months.

Why should anybody want to main- tain such persistent, unnatural seclu- sion? Inquiry at the estate’s once build- ing was productive of no enlighten- ment. Considerable diflculty was ex- perienced in gaining access to the manager; then he at once denied Num- ber 1313's occupancy. Whereupon Tom Phinney felt that the Powhatan’s committee was not being treated with the deference which it unquestionably ‘ deserv‘ ed. “See here," he said, thumping the k under the manager’s nose; “your tia.

"Isn’t Mr. Percy Bonner on your house committee?” he inquired. “Y es, he is,” returned Tom, not re- ceding in the least from his determined stand. He waited a moment, but as the gleam died in the manager’s eye. proceeded. “Our body is select, you must be aware, and we are proud of the quiet respectability of our neighborhood. There’s enough influence in our mem- bership to run out anything of a shady natureâ€"we won’t stand for it, in shor ” The manager acknowledged the jus- tice of this ultimatum, but merely said: “If you see or hear anything wrong, run ’em out; I don’t care.” “We have a right to know who our neighbors are,” insisted Tom. “Inquire of them,” said the mana- it . an ht h's es. s e V Vec en opened 1 ey . ger; “I can’t tell you." only just in time to see him disap-' pearing through the doorway, and the door itself swing shut. ' The Silent House! The House of Mystery! The house wherein nobody had even been seen to enter! 5 There was no mistaking the fact that Van Vechten was galvanized into an alertness which, had it been almost. anybody else under the same condi- tions, would have amounted to excite-' spent. , ' “Say!” he demanded of himself un-? her his breath. “Is this a pipe-dream '2: Or did somebody really go into that house?” And aftera reflective pausen; ”‘ w -- N J, ‘ 7 - L “No, I wasn’t asleep,” he deliberate-3' (100“ b 222 PM! ltll‘ Stile ly settled the unwonted occurrence in; THE W. 3-1, GROAT FARM 170p, his mind; “I saw the chap coming"; sale: lots 7 and 8, con. 12. lip:â€" along the walk.

Certain it is, at any rate, if Van l‘Vechten had been anywhere else at this particular hour on this particular Sunday morning, he would have lmissed witnessing an incident which *presently was to jar him from the llethargy of his ennui as effectively as lif the rotation of the earth upon its axis were suddenly to be reversed. And the incident, but one of a start- ling series, was not long in coming. Again from the hall floated the state- fly, melodious chime.

Erected in the ,days when high, narrow brownstonel Efronts were accepted as the hall-mark, THE east LOCAL PAPER and THE BIG CITY DAILY of affluence, it still successfully reel sisted the encroachments of improve- ment which otherwise modernized and; .beautified the thoroughfare. At the time the Powhatan Club moved into its new quarters Number 1313 was vacant, and had remained so {up to something like three months prior to the opening of this story; ,that is to say, not quite two years. [How long previously to that it had stood empty no club member could say. During all the period within their knowledge its begrlmed facade had been an eyesore and an object of exe- cration; somber and brooding, it was a sort of memento mori to the idlers behind the big plate glass windows of the lounging-room, a silent but per- petual rebuke to the folly of their lives; which attribute had more than once called forth a passionately resent- ful tirade from some member who had been unlucky at cards, or had con- sumed too much alcohol the night he- more. Then one after-neon the club was plectrlfied. Tom Phinney had been staring unseeingly into the street for some minutes. It struck him all at once that the windows and the front door across the way were no longer boarded, and that all the windows wore blinds; the red stone steps, how- ever, showed no indication of having been recently cleaned. “i say, fellows,” he abrutly sang out, P‘thirteen-thirteen’s occupied!" . There was a concerted movement toward the club‘s window; everybody present left off whatever he happened to be doing at the moment and stood silently gaping at the gloomy front. - unknown to him; but the stranger had “Blinds closedrawn.” somebody | ‘ . 1."
