By Ann ailhann Rohlfa 1 , PROLOGUE English detective stories have their waxing and their waning m public favor; their American imitations hold the readers' at', 'pntion for a times French and German acuteness' in the devis irig of original plots engages oar interest until the tales of newer Vidocqs are told, but Anna Kath arine Green's detective stories. based on incidents of American life, are perennial bloomers. They know no permanent rivals in American liking. In the writing of stories with originality of plot, skillful de- piction of character, interest 'of incident, intricacy of mystery and boldness of denouement no for eign novelist can hope to com pete for American favor with this American woman writer. Read "The House of the Whis pering Pines," a story of love and crime and mystery, told in her best vein. We warrant it to be one of her best and therefore, one of the world's best. CHAPTER L Tn HKSITATINO STEP. , THE moon rode high, but omi nous clouds were, rushing to ward it clouds heavy with ' snow. 1 watched these clouds as I drove, recklessly, desperately over the winter roads. I hud lust missed the desire of my life, the one precious treasure which 1 coveted witn my whole -undisciplined heart, and, not being what you cull a man of self w.straJnL 1 wag cfeafad. bj my defeat far beyond the bounds 1 have usually set for myself. I rode on. hardly conscious of mv ;ourse. till the. rapid recurrence of Several well known landmarks warned me that 1 had taken the longest route uuiue ami mm in anotper moment should be ekirtjng the grqundg of the Whispering Pines, our country club house. Tile seuson was over and the clubhouse closod, and when, the great Btacs or chimneys cominir auddpn.lv Into view against tbp broad disk of tne still unclouded moon. I nercelved a thin trail of smoke souring up from their midst I realized with a shock that there should be no such nlorn at l!?o fn a housfr ( myself bad closed. luc'seu ana parrea mar very day. 1 whs the president of the club and felt responsible. I turned In at tha lower gateway. For reasons which I neea not now state there were no bells attached to my cutter, and con. sequently my approach was noiseless. I was careful that It should be so; also careful tq stop short of tbe front door and leave mv borse and slaiah in tha blnpk dopths oftbe pine grove, press- mg up to tne wails ou either side. I was sure that all was not as t should be inside these walls. Our clubhouse stands, as It mat ha necessary to remind von. on a knoll thckly woodefl with the ancient trees niiye mennoneq. Ttiese treesall pines and of a irrowth nnnannl and pf an aspect well nlsb hoarj-extend pnly fo . the Vft end, of the house, whpre a wide stretch of irentlv nn- dulatlng ground opens at once upon tbe eye. auxgesttnK to all lovers of golf tbe admirable use to which it ) put from early spring to latest falL Now links as well as parterres and driveways were lying under an even blanket of winter snow. No other building stood with a half mile in any direction. 1 felt the Isolation, aa I stepped from tba edge of tbe trees and prepared to cross tbe few feet of open space lead ing to tbe main door. In some mooda ' I should have paused and thought twice before attempting the door, be hind which ip tbe dark lurked the un known with its naturally accompany ing suggestion of peril. But rage a ad aisappointment, working hotly within me, bad left no spare for fear. Rather rejoicing In tbe doubtfulness of the adventure.' I pushed my way over the snow until my feet struck the steps. Here instinct caused me to stop and glance quickly op and down tbe build ing either way. Not a gleam of light met my eye from tbe smallest scintil lating pane. , Was tbe bouse as sound less as it was dark? ' I listened, bnt beard nothfna. I listen- of the eniKj Pines ed again and still heard nothing. Then I -proceeded boldly up the steps and laid my hand on the door. It was unlatched and yielded to my touch. Light or no light. Bound or no sound, there was some one within. Tbe Are which hnd sent Its attenuated streak of smoke up Into the moonlit air was burning yet on one of the many hearths within. 1 proceeded to enter and close the door carefully be hind me. As I did so 1 enst an invol untary glance without. The sky was inky, and a few wandering flakes of the now rapidly advancing storm Same whirling in. biting my cheeks and stinging my forehead. Once inside 1 stopped short, possibly to listen again, possibly to assure my self as to what 1 had best do next The silence was profound. Not a sound disturbed the great, empty build ing. My own footfall as stirred seemed to wake extraordinary echoes. 1 had moved but a few steps, yet to my heightened senses tbe uoise seemed loud enough to wake tbe dead, in stinctively 1 stopped and stood stock still. There was no answering cessa tion of movement darkness, silence everywhere. Yet not quite absolute darkness. As my eyes grew accustom ed to tbe place 1 found It possible to discern, the outlines of tbe windows and locate the stairs and the arches where the side bulls opened. 1 was even able to pick out the exact spot frbere the great antlers spread them selves above the hat rack, und present ly tbe rack itself came Into view, with Its row of empty pegs, yesterday so full, today quite empty. That rack Interested me. 1 hardly knew why. and regardless of the noise I made I cross ed over to It and ran my hand along tne wall underneath. The rpsult wn startling. A map's coat and hat hung rrom one ot tne pegs. Would this hat and coat Identify tbe Intruder? I would strike a iichi and see. But this involved difficulties. The gas bad been turned off that very morning, and 1 had no mntrheM in mv pocket But 1 remembered where they couiq pe rounq. 1 had seen them wbeq I passed tbrouah the kitchen earlier In tbe a j. 1 began to move that war and ores- ently came creeping back with a match box half full pf matches In my band But I did not strike one then. 1 and Just made a move to do sq when tbe unmistakable sound of a door onenlnor somewhere In. ha bouse made me uraw oflc wto as quiet and dark a place as I con Id find. This lay in the rear and at the right of tbe staircase, and as tbe. sound bad appeared to come from above it was tbe most nat ural retreat that offered. And a eruul one I found it I bad hardly taken un mv stand when tbe darkness shore cava wav tn a faint, glimmer and a step became fiVM'u'o cuuiwg rrom some one or tne many small rooms In tbe second storj but slowly and with- evident beuits- Mon- The light Steadily Increased with each laeerina but surelv advancing step. Then tbe uncertain step paused, ana a bod came faintly to my ears, wrung from Una stiff wllk bunion anguish. The sound of tbe sigh, truck Bbuddaringly on my ear. fol lowed tJ the renewal I the step and the almost immediate anneiiranee on the stairs, of a beautiful young girl of seventeen, noiqtng a candle in one band and shielding ber left cheek with tbei other.
