MARLING SEES A OHOST
Seven men sat atartng at Pell,
who wu standing with his back to
the library door. Mr. Fotherbury'
Toloe came like ft breath of aanity
In an insane situation. '
"My dear Pell, what extraordi
nary conduct!"
"A little unusual, perhapa, Mr.
Fotherbury." ald Pell, "but youTl
soon be enlightened, and then I
hall ask you to admit that It la
juatltled." I
Mr. Fotherbury lifted hit hands,
as If to signify that he gave It up,
and aat down alongside Marling.
Tb here," Pell went on, "to de
fend myself against a gang of scandal-mongers
and to perform an
-act "
And then what I expected hap
pened. Sea broke went off with a
bang: he thundered so. ana nis
beard stuck out so menacing, that
I thought for a moment he was go
ing to charge Into Pell. Pell's fea
tures relaxed for an Instant into a
rather alarming smile.
"Be quiet, little man!" he said,
pointing a finger at Seabroke. "Oo
and ait down and behave or I'll
tell your wife. I'm in command
here."
Pell looked slowly around .as a
schoolmaster might look after put
ting the fear of God Into ft dis
orderly class.
"Mr. Fotherbury," said he, "you
have In your library a collection of
human curiosities representing some
of the most undesirable traits of
the race. I will describe them"
"My dear Pell," Mr. Fotherbury
interrupted him, "Is It necessary?"
"I'm afraid It's very necessary,"
said Pell.
"I'll begin with Seabroke ... Sit
down, Seabroke, will you? You hate
me. You slander me. Why? Because
I interfere with your disgusting
plans for exploiting your daughter
and breaking her heart. Seabroke, I
describe you as a cad, a snob, a
cupidtnous schemer, and a bad fa
ther." Seabroke, in the effort to re
strain himself, looked ghastly. He
might have been on the verge of
a fit But Pell looked steadily at
him till he subsided.
Pell spoke again:
''And if Mr. Royle will stay where
he is and refrain from interruption
it will be all the better."
I turned to look at Royle. He
was fuming. Somerfleld's hand
gripped his arm.
If I had followed the momentary
Impulse to say "Come on, Royle,
we'll both go" the course of life
for all the people Involved would
have been altered.
But at that moment 1 caught a
glimpse of the ghastly face of Mar
ling, staring at Pell with an ex
pression of horror and fear such as
I hope never to see on any other
man's face.
"I should be sorry for anybody to
jeave," Fell was saying. "Even Mr.
Grenofen, who's a wayfarer here
by mere chance. I have nothing to
say about him, Mr Fotherbury, nor
about Mr. Royle and Mr. Somerer
field. So I come to the doctor.
"The doctor's a silly kind of cho
leric man. a credulous man, a bit of
a snob like Seabroke, small-minded
and self-important who can be led
by the nose Into any grotesque folly
by a man of stronger intellect. I re
mind him that a man who spreads
JllfUlrlpr BhfMtf nnnttwr man la llaht
to legal process, and that the courts
often give thumping damages. So
much lor him"
The doctor's mien during this at
tack was entirely surprising and
out of character. He sat hunched
up, with his eyes fixed on Marling,
as though he had not even heard
what Pell said.
Marlins's expre.islon of agony be-
came almost Intolerable to see when
pu fastened uDon him.
But, Mr. rouieroury, wna.
about the living lie who sits beside
vou? He looks as If he'd seen a
ghost I Ah a ghost. Marling! You're
coins to see a ghost anyhow, i ll ten
you ft little of the dreadful psychic
experiences 01 Marling, Mr. jrotner
bun. When I came down to New-
place, he thought he saw a ghost,
but he was not quite sure. H had
seen me only onoe before.
"The horrkt truth farced usen
on him by degress. He began to
try to get me out of the way by
telling ilea about me. He cocterea
up lurid tale about my past to
narrate to anybody who might be of
service to me in an emergency to
Royle and Somerfleld, and, I ex
pect, even to Qrenofen.
And what was tne cause or Mar-
ling's conduct? Would you believe
It, Marling had seen a ghost! And
if one ghost why not another, a still
more terrible and formidable spec
ter?" - - .
Pen looked at each of us In turn:
a orescent of astounded faces.
You don't believe m ghosts? I
see you don't. Only Marling be
does."-
Pell raised his left arm to look
at his watch.
Mr. Fotherbury," said he, "It Is
now a minute- to four. At four a
ghost will walk. Marling -will see
him, and I will Introduce him to
you."
Marling emitted a sound like ft
woman's sob.
Pell stood with his arm raised
looking at the watch on his wrist
A veritable perfectly authentl
cated ghost I" said he. "Perfectly
harmless to some 01 us, but per
fectly terrible to others. The guilty
conscience what ft thing It Isr
pell was motionless, gazing at the
watch as It ticked off unendurable
seconds.
At last!
Pell dropped his arm to his side.
"Now!" said he.
He took three strides to the door.
all of us watching him intently,
raised his hand to the top bolt and
wriggled It back with a clatter. He
stopped to reach the bottom bolt
But he never reached It A deaf
ening explosion and the collapse of
Pell inert upon the flagstones hap
pened simutaneousiy.
The place for an instant seemed
full of ghostly silence and the next
of the voice of Mr. Fotherbury, who,
crying "rem" rusned across the
room, and stood looking down on
him.
Then I found mvaelf in a circle
of shaking men also looking down
on reu. ue was crumpled. His face
pressed on the floor and into the
angle of the door. A little red. trickle
crept along the stones.
I saw that Pell was dead.
