Theres nothing there. But I dont like the looks of this shooting. Morgans sick and out of his head. But a fellow like Morgan isnt likely to shoot himself accident--ally- , and now that its done the works stopped and the time is running on. "What do you think Glenarm suspects? . I cant tell, sir, but mighty little, I should say. The shot through the window the first night he was- - here seemed to shake him a trifle, but hes quite settled down now, I should say, sir. That shot of Morgans was a great mistake. The young gentleman isnt to be frightened away as easily , with as that.

I slipped through and closed the opening; then ran through the passage with gratitude to the generous builder who had given it a clear floor and an ample roof. ' In my haste I miscalculated its length, pitching headlong into the steps under the trap beneath Glenarm House at a gait that sent me sprawling. In a moment more I had jammed the trap into place and was running up the cellar steps, breathless, with my cap smashed down over my eyes. I heard Bates entering at the rear and knew that I had won the race by a scratch. There was but a moment in which to throw my coat and cap under the divan in the library, slap the dust from my clothes and seat my self at the great table where the candles blazed tranquilly. Bates-ste- p was as steady as ever the highway Stoddard fell in with me. Well, Mr. Glenarm, Im glad to see you abroad, so early. With that library of yours the temptation must be strong to stay within doors. But a mans got to subject himself to the sun and wind. Even a good wetting now aiid then is salutary. "I try to get out every day, I answered. But Ive chiefly limited myself to my own grounds. An ancient omnibus, filled with young women passed at a gallop, bound for the station, and we took oft our hats. Christmas holidays, explained the chaplain. Practically all the students go home. Lucky kids, to have homes with Christmas trees. I envy them. I suppose, Mr. Pickering got away last night? he observed, and my pulse quickened at the name. I havent seen him yet, I answered. Then of course he hasnt gone! and these words, uttered in the big clergymans deep tones, seemed wholly plausible. There was, to be sure, nothing so unlikely as that Arthur Pickering, executor of my grandfathers estate, would come to Glenarm without seeing me. Sister Theresa told me this morning he was there. He called on her and Miss Devereux last night. I havent seen him myself. I thought possibly I might run into him in the village. His cars very likely on the station switch. , ASSAYER. '1.
