Gearhart was busily engaged in calculating the stresses for a new steel bridge he was designing when Rack-straunceremoniously burst into his office. Jim Gearhart hates to be disturbed when wrapped up in complicated computations like that, so he scowled viciously as he Jerked up his head to see what all kinds of Idiot had dared to do It, but one look at the other's face checked the angry words upon his lips. Why, old man, whats shaken your nerve like this? he asked. Oh, I'm having a terrible time out where I live, a terrible time, replied Rackstraw, wiping the clammy sweat from his forehead with fingers that trembled so he could hardly hold his handkerchief. "All suburbanites do, according to the papers," laughed Gearhart. "But this Is really awful, awful, insisted Rackstraw. I cant keep a servant on the place, my wife's on the verge of hysterics, the children scream at the slightest sound, thinking its an ogre coming to devour them, and you can see for yourself what a nervous wreck I am. So Ive come to you as a last hope, Jim. For God's sake, dont disappoint me. If you cant furnish some rational explanation of the strangest, most mysterious affliction that ever happened to a man, Ill go raving crazy I and all my family. What is it? asked Gearhart, curiously. "My house won't stand still. It turns and twists around to all points of the compass like a weather-vane- , replied Rackstraw, solemnly. "Either that, or else the whole landscape slides and slithers around it, irresponsibly. What? ejaculated Gearhart, eyeing the other carefully. Oh, I knew you wouldnt believe It. 'ast week I wouldnt have believed such a thing possible myself. I can hardly believe its so now sitting here quietly telling about it. But as I am a living man it is true, asserted Rack-straw- , vehemently. It began Sunday night. We went to bed as usual that night, nothing disturbed us, but In the morning we found that, instead of facing the road as It always had, the house had swung clear around and was facing directly away from It. We couldn't believe our eyes, but it was so. The next morning it faced up the road, the next down the road, and this morning it again faces the road. And there's no violence or noise about it; theres just a slight lifting sensation, and then the house swings around and sinks down again, leaving you sick and dizzy and bewildered. The servants all left at once, claiming It is bewitched, my wife and children are scared almost out of their wits, and you have no Idea what a dreadful feeling of Insecurity it gives you. Nothing seems firm and stable any more. Why, every time I put my foot down I half expect this old earth of ours to bring up with a jolt and begin whirling around the other way. See here, Rackstraw, are you sure you havent got em? demanded Gearhart, with an incredulous smile. Would all my family have em, would the servants have em? cried Rackstraw, hotly. "Why, I made the last payment on the seventy-fivhundred I gave for the place only last week, but Ill sell It now for the five hundred. Ill give it away or abandon it If you cant discover what agency, human or superhuman, is spinning It around with the ease I would a top. 'Come on out there with me now, old chap, and see for yourself, wont you? I will, said Gearhart, convinced at last that there must be some foundation for the others extraordinary story, and keenly curious to Investigate it for himself as well as for his friends peace of mind. As they drove up to the house he carefully noted it and Its surroundings. It stood some little distance from the rest of the village, on a somewhat unfrequented road, from which all but the roof was hidden by a clump of trees. The house itself was a small suburban villa such as are frequently built by speculators for sale, perfectly square In shape, though this was concealed to some extent by the and porches with which It was adorned. What struck Gearhart at once as singular about It was that Instead of being placed In or near the center of the grounds It had been built far over at one side, standing only some ten or a dozen feet from the lipe fence. He also noted that close up to the fence on Its other sKe stood a long building that looked as though it might be a stable. No other building was in sight. Oh, no, explained Rackstraw, replying to his questions; "thats a sort of a carpenter and machine shop belonging to Mr. Ryder. Hes the man I bought of, you know, and dabbles around a little as an amateur mechanic. It was easy for Gearhart to see for Co.) and butlers .pantry on the first floor, four bedrooms and bathroom on the second, and servants rooms and cistern in the attic. There was just one point in the construction of the house that struck Gearhart as a trifle unusual. In the cellar, instead of partitions or rows of piers, the structure was supported by a single large brick pier, exactly under the center of it; and this determined him where he would spend the night. Carefully closing every opening from which a ray of light might escape, he began his watch. It was not until the early hours of the morning, however, that his vigilance proved fruitful. Then the whole house noiselessly rose some three or four Inches from the foundations and slowly began to swing around. Breathlessly Gearhart examined that central pier for perhaps five seconds; then, extinguishing his lamp, he let himself out and rapidly but noiselessly slipped across to the fence, vaulted It, and crept to the front of the building on the other side. When he started he had no other thought than to Investigate an idea which had suddenly flashed upon him, and, If It proved the solution of the mystery, to return the next night with due precaution; but when he felt the door of the building yield under his hand, he threw caution to the winds, and snatching his revolver from his pocket, stepped boldly inside. A rapid glance around the room dimly illuminated by a lantern assured him that he was alone with a short, stocky man, who was just pulling on his coat. "Ah, good morning, Mr. Ryder, said Gearhart pleasantly. The other man faced about with a convulsive jerk, turned a beautiful mottled green, and paused with his hands stuck half way in the sleeves of his coat. Sorry to disturb you, continued Gearhart, playing carelessly but ostentatiously with his revolver, but I wish youd just step over to Rackstraw s with me and explain what a tremendous lifting power one man can exert with an hydraulic jack. At that instant that gentleman himself bolted In through the open door, a shotgun In one hand and an icepick, held daggerwise, In the other. Saw you go this way thought Id come help, he panted to Gearhart. "Why, Ryder, that you? What the deuce! Yes, said Gearhart, "its your neighbor Ryder, and also the human agency that has caused all your suffering. With a dreadful cry of hate and horror Rackstraw sprang toward Ryder, and it was only by his utmost exertions that Gearhart prevented him from then and there venting his wrath upon the shrinking rascal. Now thoroughly cowed, Ryder explained the workings of his machinery to them. The house was In reality a steel frame, supported entirely by the first floor, which was also the platform of an hydraulic jack, the piston running down through, and being concealed by the central pier in the cellar which had excited Gearharts susThe other cylinder of the picions. jack, with the lever by which it was operated, was concealed in the workshop, where, by an ingenious system of weights, he could at any time raise the house clear of its foundations. Then by a system of multiplying gearing, the mechanism of which ran under the cellar floor, he could swing the whole house around Into any position desired. Exactly, said Gearhart, as he finished his explanation. But what was your object in going to all the expense the construction of this thing cost you just to harass Rackstraw?" Oh, it wasnt him particularly. The the one secret of wealth is to sell dear and buy cheap, said Ryder, with a sickly grin. You mean that you planned this arrangement solely for the purpose of selling this place for a fair market figure and then deliberately frightening your victims into selling It back to you for a little or nothing? queried Gearhart, slowly. And you were sure they would never tell simply because the story was so wild and Improbable they knew no one would believe it? Ryder nodded a sullen assent. And how often have you been successful? Only four times so far. "And how much have you made each time? I I cant say exactly. On the average? Well, maybe four or five thousand, replied Ryder, reluctantly. Four fives is twenty," said Gearhart quietly, and the original purchase money makes it twenty-seven- , five hundred. Mr. Ryder, you are going to buy it back once more, but not at your own figure. Kindly draw a check for $27,500 to J, C. Rackstraws himself under 'what a terrible strain order. For perhaps two minutes the trio the whole family was living. Their faces were pinched and drawn and gazed Into each others eyes, Ryder their eyes watchful and they shivered Imploringly, Gearhart Inflexibly, and and shrank timorously at the slight- Rackstraw inanely.
