Jacob!" ordered Mr. Boyce as the footman slammed the door. Ten minutes later they were stand- ing in the elegantly furnished draw- ing room of an old fashioned man- sion. “It you will come into my library,” suggested their host as he led the way into an adjoining room. where the walls were lined with books to the very ceiling and where the furniture was of the same massive style as that in the drawing room. ”Here." he said quietly. “is where the ghost of Alvin walks.” “Who was Alvin. sir?" asked Harley practically. “The ghost of Alvin?" repeated Rogers amazedly. “Alvin Boyce was my only brother. who lived with me here for fifteen happy years after our parents died. Then we quarreled because we both loved the same girl. and Alvin went away and left me alone." His head drooped despondently as he spoke. “But may I ask if you married. Mr. Boy: “No. Our quarrel was in vain. The girl did not care for either of us and married another man. The bitter words that Alvin and I hurled at each other still ring in my ears. I said things to him that I am sure he never forgave. for he did not have time to cool down before the ship on which he sailed to Japan was lost with all hands. That was twent‘y-five years “I have lived here alone with my servants ever since then. My only pleasures have been in travel and in my books. I am rich. and I am lonely. and I have sometimes feared that Al- vin’s ghost is merely a figment of my own fancy. conjured up by my con- stant thoughts about him.“ The young lawyers exchanged a quick glance of sympathy. Then Har- ley. the more practical member of the firm, asked their client for a detailed account of the mysterious appearance which he called “the ghost of Alvin.” “I first noticed it .three months ago.” began Mr. Boyce sadly. “I was sitting in this chair facing the portrait of my brother. and I was thinking about him. “I RECOGNIZED am AT ONCE.” J £15.71 aw is heluw. and if you mm :0 my lmusé in :ii't' 1 mm hotter tell Very $113111? where the 1.

As they rose to take tlwir departure Jack Rogers surveyed the large. room with Speculativo eyes that roved from [be rivl) bindings in the hookvasvs that lined all the walls save-tho south wall where the liroplnz'e was. _ "May I ask what is on the other side of that wall?" inquired Jack suddenly, pointing to the firvplm-e. “The house next door." returned Mr. Boyce promptly. "It is empty now and has been for :1 wear or so. It be- iont, "S to meâ€"in {mt I fell heir to it when m) brothex died.

I‘mmptly at 9 «:fclook on Sunday evening Robert Hurley and John Rog- 6.12% were ushered into Mr. loyce's li- brary. He came fm'wm'd to meet them, looking very animutod and smilin". “I’m sure 1 hope your predictions will come true." said Donald Boyce. The hours passed swiftly. Mr, Boyce had a fund of anecdote to draw upon, and after a servant had served a deli- cious cold supper on a table drawn close to the tire they lighted cigars and sat back waiting for the strik- ing of the midnight hour. The serv- ants retired. und the house grew still. Now and then from the street outside came the muffled rumble of wheels. Now and then :1 coal snapped in the grate. The three men fell into silence. Each one was watching that dim cor- ner by the fireplace for the coming of Alvin Boyce. Just as the clock in the hall struck the first note of midnight Mr. Boyce stretched out his hand and extinguish- ed the electric lumps. so that they sat in :1 half circle of red firelight. As the last chime died Donald Boyce leaned forward and clutched Bob Harley’s There was no need to point toward that corner, for all three of them were staring hard at the tall, bent figure that appeared for an instant in the deep shadow of the angle of the fireplace. As if aware that alien eyes were watching it. there came a flash of white. and the vision vanished. “Ah, he has gone! Did you see him?” demanded Mr. Boyce all in one breath. . The two men nodded. Huxley rather helplessly, for he “as not accustomed to dealing with Spirits. But Jack Rogers surprised his companions by reaching the comer in three quick strides “Please turn on the lights. Mr. Boyce," he reduested. “and then come here.” They found him with his hand on the glass knob of a narrow door that opened into a chimney cupboard. The outside of the door was stained. to match the dark mahogany woodwork of the room. As Jack opened the clos- et door be tapped the white painted panels of the inside of the door. “Ehâ€"e cupboard is empty." said Mr. Boyce patiently. for he did not approve of this search for the gentle ghost of his loved brother. “I know it is now. but a moment ago it had an occupant." said Jack rapidly. “Please follow me. Mr. Boyce, and do not be surprised if you meet your brotherâ€"in the fleshâ€"for it may be that he never died." Without further explanation he push- ed back on the tier of empty shelves, and his companions were surprised to see them swing back into space. leav- ing an opening through whiCh they followed Rogers into what appeared to he a closet that matched the one they had just left. A long rod of light appeared through a partly opened door. Rogers pushed it wider and beckoned to his companions to look into the library of the house next door. There before a table in a scantily furnished room sat a tall old man. His head was bowed on his folded arms. “It is your brother Alvin." whispered Jack Rogers as he pushed Donald Boyce into the room. “I have inves- tigated.
