"If my theory about this 'ghost' is right, be said, the knowledge of this accident would end its ap pearances and prevent us from catching it. The others agreed, and Barrio and Jack went at once to examine the balcony, leaving Kay feeling much better and greatly recovered zrnm her had trio-hMoving down the dark corridor of the school, the boys came to the door from which the "ghost" had appeared. It was a narrow door opening upon a small balcony which gave a view of the lake shore. Stepping out, Barrie turned h s flashlight on the railing and rx a mined it, then looked over toward the ground, some fifteen feet below. "It would be easy for a man to rlimb op there, he said, pointing to a strong dram spout which was irmly fastened to a pillar supporting the balcony. "Suppose we go down below and see if we can find any tracks. I don't think we will, because the ground is so hard, but we might as well look,." Wait!" commanded Jack. He waj peering over the edge of the balcony. "There's something white hanging to the spout about halfway down." Barrie was over the railing at once.

"You did?" he said. "Who bought it?" "Some fellow from the Academy, 1 think, i didn t know his name He was just a young boy I think it's his first year here." "I see. Well, maybe I can bor row his. I wanted it for 'a stunt With this word cf yon know." explanation, Barrie left the store. His head was bowed in thought as he walked down the street. He had been wondering about the siren-lik- e shriek that Kay said the white figure had made on the preceding night. But this clue seemed to lead htm nowhere. Any number of the younger boys at the academy rode bicycles all the year 'round, weather permitting, and it not strange that one of them should have bought a siren. He trudged back toward the academy, but turned off just after he passed Miss Vale's school, and went to the lake. A number of girls and boys were skating there under the eyes of instructors from both schools. Casting his eyes over the ice, he saw Grace Dallinger, and then he ot tered a disgusted grunt.
