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

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

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

"There is a quart of flour," began
Mrs. Worth, "a peck of potatoes, a eup

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

stood. The light struck him fairly
In the face. It was Addtngton Peace!

and then, with a sudden nod of recog

well, and did you hear It?"
"It came from over there In the

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

I nodded, and he hopped away
across the lawn with his two eom

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

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

Jimmy took the list and disappeared
A half-hour later he once more reap
