A Scrap of Paper.
For the first time in 20 years I kept
my bed that day. Llddy was alarmed
to the point of hysteria, and sent for
Dr. Stewart just after breakfast. Ger-
trude spent the morning with me,
reading something—I forget what. I
was too busy with my thought to lis-
ten. I had said nothing to the two
detectives. If Mr. Jamieson had been
there I should have told him every-
thing. but I could not go to these
strange men and tell them my niece
had been missing in the middle of the
night; that she had not gone to bed
at all; that while I was searching for
her through the bouse I had met a
stranger who. when 1 fainted, had car-
ried me into a room and left me there,
to get better or not, as it might hap-
pen.
And there was something else: The
man I had met in the darkness had
been even more startled than I, and
about his voice, when he muttered his
muffled exclamation, there was some-
thing vaguely familiar. All that morn-
ing, while Gertrude read aloud, and
Liddy watched for the doctor, 1 was
puzzling over that voice, without re-
sult.
Dr. Walker came up, some time just
after luncheon, and asked for me.
"Go down and see him,” I instructed
Gertrude. "Tell him I am out—for
mercy's sake don’t say I'm sick. Find
out what he wants, and from this time
on, instruct the servants that be is
not to be admitted. I loathe that
man."
Gertrude came back very soon, her
face rather flushed.
“He came to ask us to get out.” she
said, picking up her book with a jerk.
"He says Louise Armstrong wants to
come here, now that she is recover-
ing"
"And what did you say?"
“I said we were very sorry we could
not leave, but we would be delighted
to have Ixiulse come up here with us.
He looked daggers at me. And he
wanted to know if we would recom-
mend Eliza as a cook. He has brought
a patient, a man, out from town, and
Is Increasing his establishment—that’s
the way he put It.”
“1 wish him joy of Eliza,” I said
tartly. “Did he ask for Halsey?”
"Yes. I told him that we were on
the track last night, and that It was
only a question of time. He said he
was glad, although he didn't appear
to be. but he said not to be too san-
guine.”
"Do you know what I believe?" I
asked. “I believe, as firmly as I be-
lieve anything, that Dr. Walker knows
something about Halsey, and that he
could put his finger on him. if he
wanted to”
There were several things that day
that bewildered me. About three
o'clock Mr. Jamieson telephoned from
the Casanova station and Warner
went down to meet him. I got up and
dressed hastily, and the detective was
shown up to my slttlsg room.
"No news?” I asked, as he entered.
He Vied to look encouraging, without
Success.
"It won’t be long now, Miss Innes,"
he said. ”1 have come out here on a
peculiar errand, which 1 will tell you
about later. First, I want to ask some
questions. Did any oqe fine out here
yesterday to repair the telephone, and
examine the wires on the roof?"
“Yes," I said promptly; “but it was
not the telephone. He said the wiring
might have caused the fire at the
stable. I went up with him mvgulf,
but he only looked around.’’
Mr Jamieson smiled.

door into Gertrude's room was no lon-
ger locked; she was sleeping like a
: tired child. And in my dressing room
I Liddy hugged a cold hot-water bottle
and mumbled in her sleep.
“There's some things you can't bold
with handcuffs,” she was muttering
thickly.
A

“So would hanging,” Liddy pro-
tested, from behind the hot water bot-
tle.
I was hunting around for cotton and i
laudanum.
“You have a tooth just like it your-
self. Miss Rachel," she whimpered.
"And I’m sure Dr. Boyle's been trying
to take it out for years.”
There was no laudanum, and Liddy
made a terrible fuss when 1 proposed
carbolic acid, just because I had put
too much on the cotton once and
burned her mouth. I'm sure it never
did her any permanent harm; indeed,
the doctor said afterward that living
on liquid diet had been a splendid rest
for her stomach. Hut she would have
none of the acid, and she kept me
awake groaning, so at last 1 got up
and went to Gertrude's doer. To my
surprise it was locked.
I went around by the hall and into
her bedroom that way. The bed was
turned down, and her dressing-gown
and night-dress lay ready in the little
room next, but Gertrude was not there.
She had not undressed.
I don't know what terrible thoughts
came to me in the minute I stood
there. Through the door 1 could hear
Liddy grumbling, with a squeal now
and then when the pain stabbed
harder. Then, automatically, I got the
laudanum and went back to her.
It. was fully a half-hour before bid-
dy's groans subsided. At intervals I
went to the door into the hall and
looked out. but 1 saw and heard noth-
ing suspicious. Finally, when Liddy
had dropped into a doze, I even ven
tured as far as the head of the < ircular
staircase, but there floated up to me
only the even breathing of Winters,
the night detective, sleeping just in-
side the entry. And then, far off. 1
heard the rapping noise that had lured
Louise down the staircase that other
night, two weeks before, ’t was over
my head, and very faint—three or four
short muffled taps, a pause, and then
again, stealthily repeated.
The sound of Mr. Winters' breath-
ing was comforting; with the thought
that there was help within call, some
'hing kept me from waking him. I did
not move for a moment; ridiculous
things Liddy had said about a ghost—
I am not at al! superstitious, except,
perhaps, in the middle of the night,
with everything dark—things like that
came back to me. Almost beside me
was the clothes chute. I could feel it,
but I could see nothing. As 1 stood,
listening intently, I heard a sound
near me. It was vague, indefinite.
Then it ceased; there was an uneasy
movement and a grunt from the foot
of the circular staircase, and silence
again. I stood perfectly still, hardly
daring to breathe.
Then 1 knew I had been right. Some
one was stealthily passing the head of
the staircase and coming toward me
in the dark. I leaned against the wall
for support—my knees were giving
way. The stops were close now, and
suddenly I thought of Gertrude. Of
course it was Gertrude. I put out one
hand In front of me, but I touched
nothing. My voice almost refused me,
but I managed to gasp out, "Ger-
trude!”
“Good Lord'" a man’s voice ex-
claimed, just beside me. And then I
collapsed. I felt myself going, felt
some one catch me, a horrible nausea
—that was all I remembered.
When 1 came to It was dawn. I was
lying on the bed in Louise's room,
with the cherub on the ceiling staring
down at me, and there was a blanket
from my own bed thrown over me. I
felt weak and dizzy, but I managed to
get up and totter to the door. At the
foot of the circular staircase Mr. Win-
ters was still asleep. Hardly able to

tain the winners with a social and
