A huge, fine! mounted antlored head hung Just abovo the sideboard In tho dining-room This trophy of some huntsman's skill was fastened so firmly to tho wall that the glistening glisten-ing neck seemed to be coming right out through tho plustor. Robert, who wna seeing this decoration for the first tlmo, oyed It with lively curiosity and very evident uneasiness. It looked almost too lifelike for comfort.
