Beabroke in the effort to restrain himself, looked ghastly. He might have been on the verge of a fit. But Pell looked steadily at him ’till he subsided. Pell spoke again: “And if Mr. Royle will stay where he is and refrain from interrup- tion it will be all the better.” I turned to look at Royle. He was fuming. Somerfield’s hand gripped his arm. If 1 had followed the momentary impulse to say “Come on, Royle, we'll both go"—the course of life for all the people involved would bave been altered. But at that moment I caught a glimpse of the ghastly face of Marling, staring at Pell with an ex- pression of horror and fear such a8 I hope never to see on any other man’s face. “I should be sorry for anybody to leave,” Pell was saying. “Even .

At four a ghost will walk. Marling will see him, and I will introduce him to . Marling emitted a sound like a woman'’s sob. Pell stood with his arm raised leoking the watch on his wrist “A veritable perfectly authenti- cated ghost!" said he. “Perfectly harmless to some of us, but per- fectly terrible to others. The guilty Pell was motionless, gazing at the watch as it ticked off unendurable seconds. At last! Pell dropped his arm to his side. “Now!" said he. He took three strides to the door, all of us watching him intently, raised his hand to the top bolt and wriggled it back with a clatter. He stooped to reach the bottom bolt. But he never reached it. A deaf- ening explosion and the collapse of Pell inert upon flagstones happen- ed simultaneously. The place seemed full of ghostly silence for an instant—and the next the voice of Mr, Fotherbury, who, crying “Pell!” rushed across the room, and stood looking down on him. 3 Then I found myself in a circle of shaking men also looking down on Pell. He was crumpled. His face pressed on the floor and into A little red trickle crept along the stones. I saw that Pell was dead. (Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co.)
