SENIOR, who had been struck with anger and terror when he learned that Loutrelle was going to Resurrection Rock, that ghostly island in Lake Huron, with its unoccupled house. Loutrelle and Ethel had these northern woods of Michiga In London he had received, in seance, messages from Ethel's fmhsr‘j instructing him to go to the Rock— a trip which he hoped would clear*up his obscure parentage Old Lucas Cullen, winner of mil- lons in violent battles for timber land In the early days, tries to prevent Loutrells from reaching the Rock and Ethel fears that Barney has been killed by KINCHELOE, acting under orders. She tries to Rock herself. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VI. Ethel reached the lake and re- moved her skis. Kincheloe was still far ahead of her, but he was exhihit- ing an uneasiness which restored to Ethel her fears of the night. Miss | Platt's husband seemed to be losing determination; he no longer was hurrying but was glancing back often at her, and he was wandering off from the direct line to Resurrection Rock. She noticed that something on the shore seemed to disturb him and, looking about, Ethel cbserved that Asa Redbird had emerged from the trees and was hastening aften them. Asa was carrying his rifle, “You want me to stop him?” Asa inquired when he came up. Ethel shook her head. ‘“Just come with me.” In .sllence they completed their journey to the mysterious house on Resurrection Rock. There were no signs of life and when Ethel and Asa Redbird reached the main entrance, the girl received the first shock. The glass panel over the knob had been broken. After a moment's hesitation, Ethel thrust her arm through the hole so plaifly prepared for turning the key from the outside As she did so she realized that neither Bagley nor Barney Loutrelle would have need to enter in this fashion. “Bagley got key from Wheedon," Asa explained. “Barney Loutrelle came yesterday and Bagley right here and let him in.” The hall was wide and pleasant, furnished with gay, bright wall paper picturing tall herons standing in river reeds. There were precty, painted chairs in gray and gold, matching a table and a lounge which had cushions of black silk embroidered with goid herons. Underfoot was a tandsome, silky rug in the blue and| yellow designs of the Chinese weaver. It showed no wear or soil; nothing showed use. Ethel stood amazed at the beauty and brightness; she found herself thinking of a woman in connection with the house or Resurrection Rock | —a woman of positive and good tastes. Draperies hung in a wide doorway opening into a big room at the front. Bright, diffused light fell upon a large, heavy, carved table near the center of the room; upon chairs and a couch on one side; upon chairs and piano at the east end with a tall lamp and a music cabinet nearby. In the wall to Ethel’s left, which was the interifor wall, was a lagrge and beau- tiful fireplace with a high, marble mantel. The room showed no sign of dis- order or of violence done there; yet sight of the room itself amazingly disturbed her. She did not know why, at first; she merely felt fright- ened as by something uncanny. “Asa, I've been in this room. I've never been in this house before; but met {in Cullen's reach the | which communicated with the outsde against her on his way to the further end of the great room where he thrust his head down and smelled of the floor, whimpering and scrambling about in a circle, Lass blundered about near him so exctedly that Ethel followed to see what was there, only to find a space of bare, varnished floor, But her in- terest stirred Lad to leap upon her and dash to the door on the south steps down the Rock to the summer landing. . ‘When she looked through the glass of this door, Ethel observed for the first time that those steps showed the depressions of deep footsteps. The dogs jumped into the snow and floundered down the steps to the ice where they shook themselves and rolled over, barking. She was fear- fully expecting that Lad was leading her to the sort of horror which she had belleved to be in the house when she came upon chunks of ice stand- ing beside a hole, about a yard, in “YOU WANT ME TO STOP HIM?” ASA INQUIRED. diameter, which had been through to the water. Young ice had frozen over, not yet half an inch thick. She knelt and leaned forward with her hands on the edge of the hole, peering down through the new, glassy crystal into the dark, deep water underneath. She felt footsteps on the floor or ice and, looking about, she saw that Asa after some delay had descended from the Rock. He came to her side and gazed into the hole. ‘Water hole,” he said quletly. “‘Bagley chop it here yesterday to fill buckets. Bagley did not chop it so big.” “Yes; that's it; Why? Why, Asa?"” she cried, suddenly losing control of herself. ‘““Why should any one wAnt that hole bigger? “Nobody would, positively, “for wate; “No,” she said. “No; no; no!” She meant, first, agreement with Asa; then revolt at, and denial of, the images in her own mind. The Indlan and she now understood the same events alike; Asa, indeed had dis- more than she, “What kept you up asked him. He said he would show her; and together they ascended the steps in the Rock.

It was plain to her that this room once had been part of a French building. French of the sixteenth or seventeenth century. Ethel's recog- nition of this partly explained her impression of familiarity here; when she was a child at her aunt’s chateau, Aunt Cecelia had taken her on visits to chateaux of many of Uncle Hi- laire’s friends. She might indeed have been in this very room: before. It was hopeless for her to try to recall from her memoirs of when she was five and eight. Her mind was not now dwelling upon what might have been her own association with this room. What was Barney Loutrelle's? had been sent across the ocean the room. Why? She moved nearer the mantel and gazed at the design incised over the fireplace; it bore a dignified, formal device like—yes, very like—the de- vice wrought upon Barney Loutrelle's ring. They searched the house thorough- ly. No one, living or dead, was In the house; nowhere had they come upon sign of violence or indication of cause for Barney Loutrelle's dis- appearance. “Where’s he gone, Asa?"
