The Chronicles of $ddiM?tor. Peace Fletcher Robinson THE TERROR IN THE SNOW (Continued.) It wu a quiet, moonless night, lit by the stars that blinked In their thousand constellation. Though the now lay deep, the air struck mild ly. Indeed, If It wero freeilng. tt could not hars been by more than two degrees. Upon the edge of the distant cliffs robes of confusing mist curled In veils as thin as moonlight; but In the foreground the yew walks nd aisles of ancient laurel showed clearly upon the whit carpet. About the central avenue of firs whch carred the gardens Into the dark ness lay Impenetrable pools of shad ow. As I waited, the silence was startled by a bell. It rang the four quarters In a tinkling measure, fol lowed by eleven musical strokes. I knew that the sound must come from the little church that lay to my right; but, though I leant from sty window, the angle of the wing In which I was, hid the building (no me. I feel that the story which I hire now to tell may well turn me Into an object for ridicule. I can only de scribe that which I saw; as for the conclusions at which I arrived thure are many more practical people In the world than myself who would have judged no differently. At bst It was a ghastly business. I had returned to the dressing-table and was changing my dress-coat fop a comfortable smoklng-Jacket when I beard It a faint and distant cry, yet a cry which was crowded with sgch terror that I clung to a chair with my white face and goggling eyes spr ing back at me from the mirror on the table. Again It sounded, aid again; then silence fell, like the stut ter of a camera. I rushed to the window, peering out Into the nl(ht. The great gardens lay sleeping In the dusky shadows. There was noth ing to be heard; nothing moved save the curling wreaths of mist that tme creeping up over the cliffs like the ghosts of drowned sallormen from their burial sands below. Could It have been some trick of the Imagina tion? Could It and the suggestion which I despised thrust Itself upon me could It bear reference to that grim tragedy that had been played In the old fir avenue so many years ago? And then I first saw the thing that came towards me. It was moving up a narrow path, hedged with yew, that led from the gardens and passed to the right of the wing In which I stood. The yew had been clipped Into walls some five feet high, but the eastern gales had beaten out gaps and ragged Indenta tions In the lines of greenery, so that In my sideways view of It the path Itself was here and there exposed. It was through one of these breaches In the walls that I noticed a sign of movement I waited, straining my eyes. Tes, there It showed again, a something, moving swiftly towards the house with a clumsy rolling stride. It was never nearer to me than fifty yards, and the stars gave a shffty light Tet tt left me with an Impression that It was about four feet In height and of a dull white color. I remember that Its body con trasted plainly with the dark hedges, but melted Into uncertainty against a patch of snow. Once It stopped and half raised itself on Its hind legs a if listening. Then again it tumbled forward In Its shambling, ungainly fashion now hidden by the yew wall, now thrust into momentary sight by a ragged gap until it disappeared round the angle of the house. Doubt less It would turn to tha left, round the old chapel, across the snow-bound park, and so to the woods where a wolf should be! I was still staring from the win dow In the blsnk fear of the unknown, when I heard the swift tap of feet upon the road beneath me. Round BORROWING AS A FINE AR Proof That This Bsd Hsblt Is Impos sible to Eradicate In Some People. Day by day, as Mrs. Worth's house bold and kitchen furniture and grocer ies slowly disappeared, she saw tnai the moment approached when a final stand must be made. One morning, when Jimmy, son of the borrower, ap peared at the back door with the state ment. "Ma wants the wash-boiler, Airs. Worth determined to act. "You tell vour ma that when she brings back what she has already bor rowed. I will lend her the boiler. ' In a little while Jimmy reappeared t "Ma wants to know what she bor rowed." "There is a quart of flour," began Mrs. Worth, "a peck of potatoes, a eup f sugar, a can of coffee, a half-pound sf lard, some onions, and butter and apioae; thm swrew-drfver, tho hatchet, pair of srf seora" mhm n... i JaoUnjr "three spools of thread, a d Pr of nswdJes, aad- Ba I VI"' 7 Pr nr he was rspped on tho back door again. nso . "Ma says for you to write 'eia dowa. roads and pavements m" '" " anrl artaerfaul tn mini the corner of the wing came a man, running with a patter of little strides, while a dozen yards behind him were a pair of less active followers. What they wanted I did not consider; for at that moment the sight of my own kind was Joy enough for me. The electrlo lamps ki the room behind me threw a broad golden patch upon the snow, and as the leader reached tt he stopped, glancing up at where I stood. The light struck him fairly In the face. It was Addtngton Peace! "Did you hear that cryT"he panted; and then, with a sudden nod of recog nition: "I see who It Is, Mr. Phillips well, and did you hear It?" "It came from over there In the Or avenue," said I, pointing with a trembling finger. "I don't understand it. Inspector; I don't Indeed. There was something that came up that yew walk behind you about a minute afterwards. I should have thought It would have passed you." "No, I saw nothing. What was it like?" "A sort of a dog," I stammered; I for under his steady eye I had not nerve enough to tell him of my pri vate Imaginings. "A dog that's curious. Are all the rest of you In bed?" "No; they're gambling." "Very good. I see there Is a door at the back there. Will you come down and let me In, after I've had a look around the gardens?" "Certainly." "If you meet any of your friends, you need not mention that I have ar rived. Vo you understand?" I nodded, and he hopped away across the lawn with his two eom panlons at his heels. I slipped on an overcoat and made I BUSHED TO THE WINDOW, PEIBWa OUT, WTO THE NIGHT. J'ir WH iiiiw I I I sssZ -r . v T I I I 111 my way quietly down the stairs. From the roulette-room, as I passed It, came the chink of money and the murmur of merry voices. They would not disturb us, that was certain. I reached the garden doors In the cen ter of the main building, turned the key, and walked out Into the gloom of a great square porch. As I have said, the temperature was scarcely below freezing-point, and If I shivered In my fur-lined overcoat It was more from excitement than any great chill In the air. For a good twenty minutes I watted listening and peering Into the night It was not a pleasant time, for my nerves were Jangled, and I searched the shadows with timorous eyes, half fearing, half expecting. Heaven knows what hide ous arparltlon. It was with a start which set my heart thumping that I saw Peace turn the corner of the right-hand wing and come trotting down the drive towards me. There was something In his aspect that told a story of calamity. Mrs. Worth sat down with pencil and patiently made an alphabetical list of all the articles she could remem ber. Jimmy took the list and disappeared A half-hour later he once more reap peared at tbe back door and an nounced: "Ma says If you'll lend her the wash- boiler to carry 'em In, she ll brlDg'em home. Youth s Companion, First Use of Asphslt Asphalt, with which so many roads are paved, was found by accident. Many years sgo, In Switzerland, nat ural rock asphalt was discovered, and for more than a century It was used for the purpose of extracting tbe rich stores of bitumen it contained.

To right and left of the entrance two I stone fauns leered upon us under the I starlight "This thing you call a dog could : you see It as far as this?" , "No; the angle of the wing pre- ' vented me." j "You saw It pass In this direction. I Are you certain It did not go back the ! way It came?" "Tes. I am quite certain." "Then It must either have turned up the road.

Before us lay a broad tri angle of even snow, with the chapel and wing of the house for Its sides, and for Its base the carriage-drive on which we stood. There was no shrub or tree In any part of It that might conceal a fugitive. Close to the wall of the house ran a path ending tn a small side door. The chapel, which was Joined to the mansion, bad no entrance on the garden side.

Then he rose again, shaking his head and staring up at the windows above him In a cautious, suspicious manner. Finally he came slowly back to me, with his head on one side, staring at the ground before him. "You thought It was a dogf ta asked. "Why a dog?" "It looked to me like a big dog or a wolf," I told him boldly. "Whether It be beast or man, or both, I believe the thing that killed blm Is In the house now."
