McClurg & Co) presently remarked. “Wonder who it can be?”’ What was learned during the word- | less, curious inspection was about all the information respecting Number 1313 that was to be vouchsafed dur : { Municipal Ownership of Light and. ing the succeeding months. During that time it was scarcely possible that any person could have come or gone within the eighteen hours that are the liveliest of the twenty-four, without sttracting somebody’s attention at the Powhatan. For as the weeks passed, and the shades remained down by day, and the windows dark by night, curiosity grew apace; the house be- came more and more a fruitful topic of speculation; and with its secret front constantly staring one in the face, the least sign of life or activity must have been noted. Why should anybody want to main- tain such persistent, unnatural seclu- sion? Inquiry at the estate’s office build- ing was productive of no enlighten- ment. Considerable difficulty was ex- perienced in gaining access to the manager; then he at once denied Num- @RS | ber 1313 occupancy. Whereupon Tom Phinney felt that the Powhatan’s committee was not being treated with the deference which it unquestionably deserved. “See here,” he said, thumping the desk under the manager’s nose; “your eonfounded house is situated right across the street from the Powhatan | dub_l! For the first time the manager's eye contained a gleam of interest. He interrupted. “Isn’t Mr. Percy Bonner on your house committee?” he inquired. “Yes, he i8,” returned Tom, not re- ceding in the least from his determined stand. He waited a moment, but as the gleam died in the manager’s eye, proceeded. “Our body is select, you must be aware, and we are proud of the quiet respectability of our neighborhond. There’s enough influence in our mem- bership to run out anything of a shady nature—we won't stand for it, in short.” The manager acknowledged the jus- tice of this ultimatum, but merely said: wrong, run 'em out; I don’t care.” “We have a right to know who our neighbors are,” insisted Tom, “Inquire of them,” said the mana- ger; “I can’t tell you.” “Do you mean to say you don't know ?""—incredulously. “Just that. The present tenant nev- er applied to us at all—have never seen him, in fact. Occupancy of the house was arranged in quite another manner, Really, gentlemen, that is all I am at liberty to tell you.” And the Powhatan’s committee was bowed politely out. It was not for nothing that the house was called the House of Mys-|Q tery. CHAPTER I, On the Stroke of the Hour. A perpetual mien of impassivity which effectively repulsed advances or familiarities on the part of the strangers and pereons whom he dis- liked, was perhaps Rudolph Van Vech- ten’'s most noticeable physical char- acteristic; for an impassive face, and the ease of manner which customarily accompanies it, i8 due to one of two things: Either a set of eympathetic emotions that are sadly atrophied, or else an acquired self-control so habit- ual that every genuine feeling is per- fectly masked. In either case habit is not long in asserting itself. And it has been shown that Mr. Rudolph Van Vechten was capable of being startled and astonished. On the present occasion, therefore, At That Instant the Clock In the Hall Began Striking Ten. “If you see or hear anything'|& ‘S[)lel’ldlu Winter Chautauqua.
