CHAPTER Well ha exclaimed. thli haa been very pleasant, but I must run. I bare Just been over to see Morgan, the caretaker, at the resort, village. The poor fellow accidentally abot himself yesterday cleaning' bis gun or something of that sort, and be has an ngly bole in bis arm that will shut him up for a month or worse. He . gave me an errand to do for him. He's a conscientious fellow and wished me to wire for him to Mr. Pickering that he'd been hurt, but was attending to his duties. Pickering owns a house at the, farther end of the colony and Morgan has charge of it You know Pickering, of course? I looked my clerical neighbor straight in the eye, a trifle coldly, perhaps. I was wondering why Morgan, with whom I had enjoyed a duel In my own cellar only a few hours before, should be reporting his injury to Arthur Pickering. I think I hare seen Morgan about here," I said. Oh, yes! Hes a woodsman and a hunter our Nimrod of the lake. A good sort, very likely! I dare say. He has sometimes brought me ducks during the season. To be sure! They shoot ducks at night those Hoosler hunters so I hear! - ing a gentleman. Then, in my blind anger, 1 found what patient search had not disclosed. I threw the hammer from me in a fit cf temper and it struck one of the square blocks in the cement floor which gave forth a hollow sound. I was on my knees in an instant, my fingers searching the cracks, and drawing down close I could feel a current of air, slight but unmistakable, against my face. The cement square, though exactly like the others in the cellar floor, was evidently only an imitation, with an opening beneath. The block was fitted Into its place with a nicety that certified to the skill of the hand that had adjusted it. I broke a blade of my pocket-knif- e trying to pry it up, but, in a moment, 1 succeeded, and found it to be in reality a trap door, hinged to the substantia part of the floor. A current of cool, fresh air, the same that had surprised me to the night, gtruck my face as I lay flat and peered into the opening. The lower passage was as black as pitch, and I lighted a lantern I had brought with me, found that wooden steps gave safe conduct below and went down. I stood erect in the passage and had several inches to spare. It extended both ways, running back under the foundations of the house, and cut squarely under the park before the house and toward the school wall. The air grew steadily fresher, until, after I had gone about two hundred yards, reached a point where the wind seemed to beat down on me from above. I put up my hands and found two openings about three yards apart, through which the air sucked steadily. I moved out of the current with a chuckle in my throat and a grin on my face.
