Then he was struck by another possibility. “How's your gas”" he asked. This might give him a line on her —on who she was, where she came from, and whither she was going. Certainly she was not a tourist. He looked at the gauge. Tt showed a {tank nearly full. She smiled at his took of surprise. . “You're wondering how come I've got plenty of gas and no water,” she said with another gurgly ugh. “It's th' fault of th' garage man.

But, of course, she could be none other as he should have known. "Oh, yes,” he managed finally, “you are Miss-er-ah—"' “Oh, no!" she cut in, not impolite- ly, nor with the least intention of being flippant, “th' Erraghs live down th' river from us. I am Misa Sweeney. Dad leased th' Ryderton place because of its ghost stories. It is called “The Spooks' Delight,” yuh know!" Tony recalled the arrival in the preceding December of Patrick Sweeney in Elliston. It had been the occasion of considerable specula.- tion on the parts of those who in- variably made it their busineas to know all about other people's busi- ness — especially newcomers. The eat in Pat Sweeney was due to the fact that he had leased “The Spooks’ Delight,”” an old colonial mansion on the river bank that be- longed to the Ryderton estate and which had gone untenanted for a | decade or more because of its ghoat. Iy affiliations. Pat Sweeney, a jovial, red-headed Trishman, hailing from Chicago, haa laughed at the ghost stories installed ‘ln army of workmen, carpenters, decorators and furnishers, and when the place was ready for occupancy {had moved in. That s, his housekeeper had moved in with two mialds, a cook 'and a houseman. Pat Sweeney came |and went as suited his convenience, ;aml his business dealings. He was a | 'wtdo\ver with a durable complex. | And then one day the gossips of | Ellisten fairly squawked with antici- [patory delight. Pat Sweeney's housekeeper, Mrs. O'Connor, .had | broadcast the news; that is, ahe had | told the nearest neighbor that her | employer's lovely daughter, Mary FElizabeth Katherine Janet Sweeney, who had been attending achool in the east, had arrived that morning. And that. as Tony now recollected, had been the preceding Saturday, just a week before fo a day. He [looked into the Sweeney eye—gray- lish green, he decided — and smiled | his appreciation of her. She came right back with her own smile, and pushed out her hand. “Yen,” she repeated. “I am Pat Sweeney's ‘darter.” T was christened Mary ‘Liz’beth Kath'rine J'net. But Dad calls me ‘Mike’ for th boy he wanted. What's vour name?" Nothing backward ahout Mary ‘Liz’beth when aceking information, as her question showed. What she wanted she asked for. No quibbling, no beating about the bush. | “My name’s Tony,” said Tony, his smile widening to a grin. “Anthony in full, but Tony for short—Tony Justin, born in th® house you sce | vonder, 23 years old, and—er—unat- |tached!” The quick, gurgly laugh, impul- | sive, girlish, the product, Tony shrewdly suspected, of quite a num- ber of hours of indoor practice, re- warded his answer to her question. “Justin.” She &poke the name musingly as one does when putting memory over the hurdles of quick action. *T remember now of hearing Father Ryan speak of a Peter Jua- tin.” “He's my father,” aid Tony, a he knew that anything the priest had said of his parent would have been to the latter's credit, whatever the drift of their talk when face to face. “Then you have a sister, too?" #aid the girl, tentatively, “a dancer, isn't she?" “Well, T—she—"" Tony hesitated, |at a loss on the &pur of the mo- ment for just the proper reply. “She and 1 used to thank we might he dancers some day. Then she went and got married!” | “And th’ husband—does he object {to her dancing?" | "Oh, no, Jack doesn't object. It's just that—that—" Again he hesi- tated, fearful lest he say something foolish. “Th’' babies take up s0 ‘®he said, looking much of her time,” he finished, hur- riedly, The laugh—once more it bubbled forth, but just an eche this time, and again Tony had the feeling, more or leas sub-conscious, that it was a made-to-order laugh. Jt didn't ring exactly true. She must have noe- ticed it was a little off tone herself, for she suddenly switched the sub- Ject. “I you've lived here all your life you ought to be familiar with all th* places of interest in th’ vicinity," at him rather speculatively. “Do you know th' way to reach ‘The Devil's Leap'?” Tony's amile faded in the surprise her query invoked. What intereet could she posaibly have in that rock heap? Could it be that her father who, he had heard, had made his money in speculation—? He must watch his p's and q's, he told him- pelf. < “I certainly do,” he sald, replying to her question. “Since there ia just one way to reach it, and I carried rod and chain in th’ surveying of th' road!" “Oh, did you, really? Do yeu know I'm just crazy to see that place? I wonder if—?" She paused, still looking at him as if dublous about the propriety of asking eo great a favor—*"if you'd care to go with me—or are you too busy? I should hate to get lost out there in th* wilds of those mountains!" Go with her? Why, he would be delighted! “I'll hustle in an’ get that water for th’ car.” he told her, and im- mediately suited action to his word. When he returned he found her seated behind the steering wheel, enjoying the exhalation of a cigaret.
