CHAPTER ONB
THE HAIRLESS SKULL.
ALISON REDE, brushing her teeth In very cold water,
raised her head from the basin to listen. Night, in an
empty house, is always liable to produce strantfe and
alarming sounds, but surely that had been a footstep? It must
be her father at last I
Her mouth was full of pink soap flavored with areca nut,
so she could not call out, but the flooding sense of sheer relief
was wonderful ; never had she been through such a nerve shak
ing exiuM'leuco.
For her (athor, usually bo careful
of her comfort, to change bli plana
by telegram at the last minute was
had enough. True he had written to
hr that he was leaving London and
was looking for a country place, yet
It was totally unlike him to ask
Alison to meet him at this lonely
house at eleven at night, still more
so to add "If I am late, wait thero
for mo": for Robert Rede was the
most precise and punctual of men.
and he had always come to fetch her
at Dover.
Dut If the telegram seemed odd.
her arrival at this now home had
been worse. The hired car which
had brought her here from Warley
Station was already halfway down
the road before Alison had realized
that the hell produced no answer.
Groping her way to the back she had
grasped at last that the whole place
was dark and empty.
Tired, cold, very wet and rather
frightened, her first Instinct bad
been to try and nod some cottage
near by. Hut It was tale; uo friend
ly light showed anywhere along the
dork road: her (ulher'a telegram
had boon explicit "wan mere for
mo" and If she wont exploring she
might miss hlni when he arrived. .
At ten minutes to eleven on a
pouring wet autumn night, It
seemed silly to attempt to walk a
matter of six miles hack to the eta
tlon. Soaked and shivering, she bad
waited for ten minutes In an open
porch that gave her no protection
from Hie driving rain. Then with the
aid of her pocket torch she bad
managed a (Ind a window alar and
with some difficulty got herself and
her small attache case through It
Into the pantry.
Dut thankful as she was to be un
der sheltor, a hurried search of the
house had failed to discover the
main switch of the electric light.
Uy the pale beam of her small
torch the empty house seemed
strango and eerlo. Waiting, expect
ing every moment to hear her
father's car arrive, she had tried to
keep her spirits up and to pretend
that the whole affair was a vast
Joke.
To All In time, she had unpacked
ber brush and sponge bag and had
started to wash off some of the cling
ing dirt of SwIsb and Fiench trains.
But now. rinsing her mouth, she
could afford to admit Mint she had
been scarcdl
CREAK ...
With the glass still In her band.
Alison stiffened. Tha muscles of her
throat grow tight as she stood mo
tionless, listening.
Someone was coming up the atalra
outside the bathroom, but that waa
not her father's brisk, short, rather
Jerky tread
Slow steps, stealthy, wltb 1
marked pause between each as
thouftb the person outside was
afraid of being heard . . .
Crcakl Then a rattle and a faint,
sharp squeak.
The girl stared Into the looking
glass above the basin, stared across
her own shoulder, unable U move,
paralyzed with fear.
The door was openlngl
Then she saw.
Her month stretched wide to
scream, as she spun round, but no
sound came but a dull click far back
In her throat. At the same Instant
she Dung herself bodily against the
door.
There was no key; she herself had
seen all the house-keys hanging, tied
with string, on a book In the pan
try; left hanging there, no doubt, by
the last tenants. There was no fur
niture In the small tiled bathroom
except a light stool and Alison, al
though tall, was very alight.
She was shaking so much that the
door rattled as she pushed herself
against It and she felt appallingly
sick. She found herself wondering
whether she could go on holding it
sgnlntt that thing which was trying
to force the door opon.

She glanced at the window. It was
shut and an old fashioned Venetian

the curtalnloss panes. Below the
