that, there have been many m; terious affairs—a aie ee the , an injury to one of the party that cannot be ex- plained, and the antagonism of the caretakers at the. old house which shelters the party. Chapter 15 Secret ‘TH day wore on, with Mrs, Marbury becoming more and more depressed with every pass- ing hour, Late in the afternoon, when the girls went down stairs to join the rest of. the company, wey heard her telling Mr. How really can’t think what's got into Theodore. Of course | id tell him that if Gina really liked the'place and we were not too un- comfortable, he needn’t expect to hear from me for a while. And then with the storm and every- thing, he aptobenly couldn’t send a plane. But I thought with the first clear day” Mr. Howe's voice, in a soothing murmur, broke into her com- plaint. But Mrs. Marbury, as Julie recollected bitterly, had been shel- tered and protected all her life. . It was a new sensation to her to find that, after all, she was im- portant only one man, that without lore she could ap- pear or disappear as she pleased. It gave Julie some small satis- faction to think that the whole group could not with all their money, buy their way out of this situation, Dinner was a gloomy affair. They gathered in the living room afterward, but there was not much conversation, Eve. noted that Gina’s attempts to engage Brett in anything like a tete-a-| tete were unsuccessful. He wan- | dered around the room talking te/ each of the men in turn, evidently | making out a sehedule for the| watch they were-to keep that! night, | Jim Droissard was “given the first shift, from nine until twelve. As that hour approached Drois- sard began to walk restlessly about, apparently disturbed by the fact that they were all sitting up with him. It was Mrs. Mar- hury who made the first move to retire to her own room, and the others quickly followed suit. When Eve and Julie got to bed they discovered that the ,odd events of the day, and the strain of fighting an unfriendly atmos- phere, had tired them more than they realized, Eve attempted to read for a while, but she soon | blew out the candle and fell into/ a heavy, dreamless sleep. | Tt. wag still dark when she wak- ened, There was no sound with-| in the house, although the wind and the beat of the surf against the shore made the night outside alive. with, strange noises. She lay for perhaps half an hour | trying to get to sleep once again, | but she had never felt more awake | in her life. Cautiously, she lit the | eandle and, placing it on the floor} 80 that it would not shine on} Julie’s face, she consulted her} wristwatch. It half - past | twelve, 3 i | Downstairs in the library Brett | Rodman went once more to the earved panelling of the mantel- piece. He had relieved Jim Drois- sard even before twelve o'clock, scarcely able to repress his eager- ness to discover the secret pa! e that must be hidden in this odd half-wal! that jutted out into the; center of the room, He told him-| sel§ once more that there was ab- | solutely no reason for such a wall to be four feet deep, un it wer to admit a passage of some sort. Once more he felt carefully over every bit of the ornamentation on the mantlepiece. And although he looked hopefully for some break in either the row of book- | cases that lined one side of the} wall or the smooth, unbroken sur-| face of the other wall, he could, see nothing. Suddenly he had an) anspuravcn. fe went back to the bookcase and pulled out the yellowed vol- ume that the lawyer had been reading from a few nights before. Perhaps there was something: in the description of the house which Mr. Howe had ag ig over, and which might give him a clue. But he never opened the book. As he removed it from the shelf, his eyes fell upon a button. Brett dropped the book onto the floor and stifled a shout of joy. Then he set his thumb against the button, pressing hard. The Passage | geeks a section of the wall on the right side of the fire- place mover ran around, outward. As Brett the old thrill that always came to | } } was | he was conscious of him when he jored the secrets of old houses. Now he hastily lit a candle and, ing sue that his lighter was in'his pocket, went into the small opening. The air was h and sweet.

Of course! That explained a lot of things. Faintly, he heard the echo of a cry—a wailing sound of distress. For a second, he thought the story of the ghosts had excited even his practical mind, and then, with a feeling of dismay, he recognized the voice. It was Eve—calling for help! Frantic, he turned and ran back the way he had come. Exploring ‘WELVE-THIRTY! Eve blew out the candle and lay back again, listening to Julie’s steady breathing. Who had this watch downstairs? She tried to remember, but she had been so annoyed with Brett when the “council of war” was held, that she had not listened too carefully. anyway, no matter ho it = —Brett, or Han, or siento - ably he would appreciate a little company and perhaps a glass of warm milk. Eve had not ven- tured into the domain of Mrs. Jackson before, but with the fear of remaining wakeful all night, she was resolved to risk anything. Re eased herself cautiously out of cold wind blew her flimsy gown. Luckily, she had brought a warm house-eoat; she prices into it grotefully and buttoned it. y |snugly around her throat. Wit her slippers in her hand, she tip- toed to the door. The quietness of the circular hallway struck her as she closed the bedroom“door be- hind her. She thrust her feet into the slip- pers and went down the stairs as quietly as possible. They did creak a little, but not too much, Then, just as she reached the third sti from the bottom, her slipper h caught, and she could not save [herself from sitting down with sudden and awkward emphasis. “Ouch!” The cry was wrung from Eve as she bumped down the jlast stairs, and finally came to a stop by frantically clutehing at the newel post. There she re- mained for half a minute longer, gingerly feeling her anatomy trying to decide if she had sprained her ankle. The necessity for caution and quiet had gone completely from her mind. But when she had reassured herself that no bones were broken, and was standing once more in the main hallway, she found that apparently no one was disturbed. For a second, Eve thought she |heard a muffled footfall, but even be only her imbgination. “A fine thing,” she muttered, esuming her interrupted journey io the living room. “We could be all but murdered in our beds! I must have made enough noise to wake the dead, falling like that.” At the entrance to the living room she paused, her eyes sud- denly wide with fear as,she arched the shadowy corners and peered again at the lone candle standing on a small table before the fireplace. Eve could scarcely force herself to go into the room, yet she knew she must. There was something about the place that told aer even better than her eyes, there was no one in the room. But there might be some- one lying in the corner—dead! For some reason, she did not think of anyone except Brett. She knew now, with intuitive certain- , that this was his wateh, and the knowledge gave her strength to cross the t! old and ad- vance *to the fireplace. Her first thought had not been wrong. As Eve glanced around, she saw that Brett indeed had vanished. His pipe, still faintly redolent, lay be- side the candle. She tried to speak his name and could not, but she managed a few faltering steps toward the bookshelves. And there she saw where he had gone. For a moment, an un- reasoning anger for the fright he had given her made her almost decide to turn around and march back to bed. But as she looked at the yawning narrow doorway which ‘was apparent when the row of bookshelves swung out- ward, curiosity got the better of er. Eve went back and picked up the candle, shading it with her hand from, the draft, and tried to look into the Stygian blackness, Steps led up to the left, she dis- covered, while the e sloped gently downward to the right Which way had he taken?
