Chapter Tbrea EXPLANATION ALISON hesitated. There was a ring of authority In the man'l TOlce. Id his old tweed coat, baggy flannels, with no bat, he had not looked like a burglar, but still She tried to push his arm away bat It held her the more firmly. "Come on now!" She yielded. "11 was upstairs In the bath room, and and something tried to come In." "Something? What do you meant" Incredulously. "I don't know. A dreadfuMooklng sort ot man. Horrible, Ilka a ghost. ( was frightened and" "Are you alone here, then?" He founded more astonished. "Yes." The Instant she had said it, she realized that it would hare been bet ter to pretend that there were ser vants In the house, sleeping. But now It was too late. He gave a faint irhistle. 1 "This Is your house?" "1 don't know," she admitted. "I luppose so. . . ." "You don't know?" On the whole, bis astonishment was Justified. She heard blm grope for the switch, board It click uselessly. The lantern Ulmmered again as he asked, "Where's the main switch?" "1 don't know. I've never been In the place before." He was looking at her with such disbelief that she went on Quickly. "1 came here to meet my father. You see, 1 had a wire from him to come here and wait until be came. And now be hasn't come " her voice trailed off lamely, "and 1 don't know what's happened!" That ended In a slight gulp. "There! Don't!" He had let her go now, was patting ber arm com fortingly. "I'm not!" said Alison. A manifest lie. DV way ot auswer, he extracted a J large, and clean silk handker chief and banded It to her. She took It gratefully. Her own waa In the bathroom In her bag. It was a min ute or two before she reappeared (rom the handkerchief, shakily and with Bhlny nose, to meet two per ploxod blue eyes. When he frowned like Mint, be looked much older and stern. "Look here, what house Is this?" "The Croft House, Warley, Isn't It?" Alison looked up with surprise. Waa that the solution, she won dored? Had she got Into the wrong bouse by mistake? Hut he nodded. "That's what 1 understood," he agreed. "Does It belong to your fa ther?" "1 don't quite know. That's the queer part of 1L I'd never beard of it before. But 1 know be was going to take a country house and bis wire said the Croft House, Warley, all right. And the man at Warley In the garage seemed to know It," Alison explained confusedly. "1 expect that father's Just moving In you see, be's getting married again." "1 see." The young man said that doubtfully, surveying Alison with purzled eyes which took In her pret ty face, well-cut tweed suit, good shoes and dalntlly-kept bands. After a moment he added, "1 was out there In the road, taking a stroll before 1 turned In, and I ssw some one get In through this window. It struck me as not exactly orthodox so I followed. And the next thing I know waa you ahovlng your hand Into my face." He spoke so frankly, that she had to believe blm; she smoothed back her thick chestnut curia, thinking. "He'a nice." The young man remarked briskly, "Look bore, you wait down bore. I'll have a look round for your bath room friend." "No!" She could not help grab bing at bis arm, though she dropped It at once, ashamed. "I I'd rathor come with you." Ho looked down at her trembling mouth and eyes big with fear and nodded. "A LL rig lit.

There was a pile pt old newspa pers In one corner of tbe pantry; be took up ono and rolled It tightly, twisting one end. His bands, Alison noticed, were brown, strong and very finely shaped, almost too deli cate for so big a man. The lantern tlared up as It caught tbe end of the paper. "Now, where did you see this 'ghost'?" "He was coming after me, down stairs." "He hasn't passed this door." "He must have gone that way, then, Into tho kitchen."

The back door wns locked. "We'll take It room by room. In ghost-hunting, ono can't bo too euro ful," said the mnn beside her, light ly. He was tall, six foel or more, but did not look It, being broadly built; there was something definitely com forting about those largo square shouldors ns ho moved abend; but In splto of that, Alison could not help looking bark nervously, start' Ing at encb sound. "Dining room.' Ho bad flung open a door and was waving tbe rolled nowspnper so thai Us light fell Into each part of the room. Faded green rop curtains were looped high, an oak table, much tbe wo mo for wear, stood bleakly In the middle with eight enne-scnted chairs In a row against one grcen-dlstcmpercd wall; tbe whole room wns visibly free ot ghosts and hnd the barren look of an unoccupied house. "Ah!" "What 7" Ho pointed tilumpbnntly to a sta ble lantern which stood on the shahhy oak sideboard. "Hold this a mlnuto." Alison took the nowspnper; after a moment's wrestling bo got the lantern open nnd lit It. "Now wo're alt right."

(API Twenty -three thousand telegrams--favoring the Patman cash bonus bill by 8 to 1 were on President Roose velt's desk today when he returned from a week-end fishing trip. Nevertheless. White House attaches looked for the president to return the measure to congress with a veto soon after It reaches him, probabl? tomorrow. On Capltol Hill where the expec tation la that Mr. Roosevelt will In clude a stand against Inflation among hla arguments for not approv ing the new money bill, congressional leaders believed they had & narrow margin of votes in the senate by which a veto could be upheld. Stephen Earty, a presidential sec retary, made the estimate that the deluge of telegrams were 8 to 1 foF the bonus. In addition, he said, there were between 3,000 and 3,000 letters on the subject.
