While Lord Macau lay had been extremely active as a member of the House of Commons, when raised to the peerage, he did little.

Their general as pect was gloomy. "Perhaps," said Gay, after a long interval of staring at her own feet, "we had belter hold a ieance. It's done In all the best thrillers." Mike's face was worried. "Rot!" he ntd- sharply. "Don't get silly, for God's sake!" Her laugh was shaky. "Why not?" People are killed and slugged and tied up by empty air. There must be a ghost! We owe it to ourselves not to miss anything.' "Stop it!" Michael crossed to her swiftly. "Stop it! On a grip on yourself! Don't" Too late. She collapsed against him in a tearful lit. That evening had pretty well ex ha us ted my stock of sympathy. 1 stepped into the conservatory. But its heavy scent of roses reminded me of nothing so much as a funeral. I thought of Jude Blinshop's funer al. I selected a casket for Jude not a heavy one blue, deep blue, No rases. JusU The realization of what I was doing struck me as a revolting shock. My foot sent a pot of American Beauties crashing to the floor. I swore frantically. "Exactly," said M. Farrington's voice at my elbow. "Must have brushed against it, Aunt Martha." I mumbled, stoop- inn for the rases. "With your foot," suid the dry voice. "James, you are not to lose your head. Sit down, piea.se. t sat dismally under an appall ing rubber plant. I wished that I were dead, recollected that I might very shortly get my wish, shivered, and brought my wavering attention back to M. FarrinKton. She was speaking in her dry, precise little voice. "The greatest thinner ol all. my dear boy, ts that we may allow our imaginations to run away with us. Our predicament is unpleasant '.n the extreme and entire',' unexpect ed. The thought of the super natural In connection with thro strange occurrences Is inevitable, but thoroughly abMird. If we think" From behind the rubber plant. I Ritped at her. The supernatural! M Fn nine ton arguing about the sup ernatural! Were we all goins crazy? "Don't worn-. Aunt Martha." I said. "Conk; of eourse would think banshee were after her if a match blew out. But I'm sure the rest of us are too " The picture of Gay in hysterics tn the next room stopped me. I groped Impatirntly for a cigarette "Grace Is not herself, .!nme." rontounri the woman! Did she think me deaf as well as dumb? "In our present overwrought condi tion, we tend to reduce pertecth normal happening tt the basts or superstitious phenomena. We must retain seir-eontrol I art be you to provide Immedinte physical action for everyone Thin waiting is un pleasant.' I exploded. "But damn It!" I roared. "We can't keep pussyfoot ing around the hou.se playing hide-and-seek. We've done enough searching for 10 houses! What the devil eHii we do?" "How do you usually nmibr your srll? She was laughing at me. Her hv. never moved, but she was laughing. I got to my feet and lut'urd Into Ihe living nom. Higgins' back was Just retreating through the hall door. In a far corner ol the room Micharl was bendinr over Gay with n gins of something in hU hand. The Skip per gin need round from the win dew, but returned tnnnrxhately to her urvey of tin darluieu ouUlde. t "How about bed?" Z meant to say It cheerfully. Mike straightened up. "Don't be fantastic. "All right." My voice started out jauntily and ended in ft ghastly croak. "Then let's do something to amuse ourselves. Bridge? Billiards?" "Dominoes?" Michael Jeered. "Anything," Gay's voice was shrill ad shaky. "We can't Just sit here. Lets do something!" And so we tried it. I dragged out a table, located some cards, drew up chairs. M. Farrlngton, Gay, Mike and myself played. The Skipper re fused to leave her window. The horrible farce went on for; hours or seemed to. We overbid wildly and underbid foolishly. It was difficult to remember trumps. Scoring was erratic. In spite of all pretense, every ear in the room was straining to catch sounds from the silent house. Nerves twitched to thesoughlng of trees and rattling of blinds. Finally Michael threw down his cards. "This is the worst idea you've had yet!" he snorted, moving toward the brandy bottle. "Let's try billiards." My own voice was barely recognizable. "You move playing billiards." The Skipper and M. Farrlngton remained in the living room, the latter patiently trying to read book, the former still motionless at the window. We left the connect ing door open, and Gay, Michael and I went Into the room where the whole ghastly mess seemed to have started. Not 48 hours ago Jude NO DANGER By Mary Graham Homier "Id better get away from here, the doctor thought. "That bear mav have some queer Idea that she wants to bite my ears so they'll look like Willy Nilly's." But ft.s he got up he found htm self pushed back into his chair again by Jelly Bear. Perhaps it would be as well not to get these animals angry although he had al ways heard that they were never wild or rough only mischievous at times. Willy Nilly had opened his eves, He looked In surprise at. the- doctor. Was ho drraming? And then lie m hi nniniR) friends all around him Rip curled up at his fret at the end of the bed. Your don and crow and lamb came for me." the doctor said. "I imixt find out what Is Ihe matttr with ou. and ou imust tell me JiikI how you feci." he repeated. The doctor took Willy Nllly's puke, listened la Ills chest and took his trmpcralurr while all the Pud dle Muddler kepi yory still, anx iously watchlnit Ihe doctor. "ou're not In any dancer." the doctor said, and every Puddle Mud dler save Mich a cry of Joy that the doctor Jumptii In surprise. Willy Nllly smiled. "They're fond or me." he s-;ld. "I've never quite known why they should be so very fond of me. I don't amount to very much and there are main who think I'm queer. They put me rluht to bed when I becun to feel so 111 I don t feel nearly so 111 as I did." "They did the rlcht thing!" the doclor answered. "You've got a bad old. but bv taknic care of It In lime you'll be all nitlit. Only I ihlnk you're Hied oui. You should be over this in a week and then you should have a real rest. What about a Utile trip?" Christopher rnwrd cxcitodlv. MondK) "Chruiouhcr't Idea " A2l (ANOEfiioM Bllnshop had stood where I was standing, holding that very same cue, waiting for me to leave her alone with Mike. I dropped the cue as If It burned. "Oh, hell I" I groaned desperately Gay seated herself on the table, her foot swinging rapidly. "Mike," she said, "it isn't just curiosity. I must know. You ought to trust me enough to tell me why you went outdoors last night. We were right back at the be ginning. What possible difference could It make now? What possible use In dragging It up again? Di version. Damned grisly diversion I I started for the door, but Mike blocked me off. "Stay right here, Jim!" Then, very patiently, "I've told you a doz en times. Gay, that It had nothing to do with all this. I went out to look at the bridge." "You're lying!" At the fury In her voice the sickening whirl in mv neaa began to tighten. There w no stopping her. "What did you go outdoors for? You were out there at 10 oclock. You said so" I had had enough of it. Pushing Michael out of my way, I barged into tne living room, banging the door behind me. The Skipper turn ed irom the window. "It's nearly daylight." she said. "Thank God. What time Is it?" I blinked at my watch. Ten min utes of seven." On the davenport M. Farrlngton was fast asleep. With an my heart I envied her. "What's going on In there?" I tried to smile. "Oh curiosity nerves. No telling." "Yes." She was switching off lights. "Listen. Jlmmle. I'm going to take Martha upstairs with me It's me for a cold shower. Tell Hlg- Blns to start some breakfast and break up that Donnybrook Pair In there. It's daylight and we're civ. illzed supposedly.
