When they invei the name. Hell Hollow, that was it. Hell Hol- low. There were a lot of sto: about it, too, and about the curl- ing mists that rose‘at night from the swamps and tiny pools. He tried to remember the leg- ends he’d heard about it years ago in his childhood. It was a place oungsters were threatened with. { “h y “Be good, or the bogey man from Hell Hollow’ll get your There was something about a witch, too. The early settlers had ducked her in one of the muddy ponds.and pa¢k- ed. her off to Boston. Oh, there were lots.of things, but he couldn’t sort them out. He’d ask Sara about it the next day. He came suddenly onto a tarred Toad. He looked ahead, then jump- ed back and put a hand on his gun. Ahead of him, under the dim street light, were three weird fig- ures, two women and a man. Two ‘women in bonnets and Hoopes and a man in a tall beaver hat an a tail coat. The mist blew around them—they hadn’t faces, or feet! Asey blinked, and then laughed. Dummies, of course. Dummy figures. Yes, he could see the sign beside them. “Antiques.” There was another sign on the street light. “Mrs. Larkin Randall. An- tiques.” z Asey laughed again. So Mrs. Larkin Randall, the antiquer, had changed the name of Hell Hollow to Pleasant Valley! No wonder he hadn’t recognized the location when Jane Warren spoke of it. Pleasant Valley, in this god for- saken hollow full of swamps, and dampness, and that chilly curling mist! He. walked on toward town, past the dummy figu1.. and the squatty house beyond. That house, he re- ealled, had been a favorite rendez- vous of the gay blades of Wellfleet. ‘back in his boyhood. Fireworks began to splutter in the town, and colored balloon lights floated out of the jets of sparks, and then dissolved one by one. As he stood there wondering how General Philbrick expected to compete with this lavish display on nights to come, a car whizzed by him, then braked and backed up. “Where'd you go?” Zeb demand- ed. “T've hunted high and low and in between for half an hour. How’d you get here?” “Oh, I been roamin’ around,” Asey said, “delvin’ into the past, like. Your girl friend’s fancy fig- ures was like to scare me half to death. I never saw anythin’ so creepy, with the mist crawlin’ around’em. If I was a drinkin’ man, I'd have signed the pledge an’ i er on the wagon by now.” “A lot did,” Zeb observed, “the k those figures were put ‘sa meee? eae anyway. », I was a kid, and we spent summers out at the old beach house, J used to stick my head un- | | | “Nice. lookin”.
